Sending a Green to CongressBy Pat GrayCandidate for United States Representative; District 12; Green Party |
![]() This information is provided by the candidate |
Our federal govenment is not working in the interests of the working people of this district.The great majority of voters in this Congessional District are registered as Democrats. There are a growing number of voters registered 'decline to state' and Green. I was born and raised as a Democrat. My family was working class, and we knew that the Democrats worked for our best interests. I was an active contributing member of the Democratic political party for decades. I was a member of a union, the San Francisco Federation of Teachers, and was an elected official in that union. Union labor supported the Democratic party, and still do........but when our Congress, under a Democratic administration, passed NAFTA I had to face the fact that the Democrats were no longer working in the interests of working people of the United States. The Democrats and Republicans had melded into a single party funded by, and working for, the corporations and people of great wealth. The Green Party is founded and based on their ten key values. These are: Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice and Equal Opportunity, Ecological Wisdom, Non-Violence, Decentralization, Community based Economics, Feminism and Gender Equality, Respect for Diversity, Personal and Global Responsibility and Sustainability. You can go on the web and learn more about the Green Party, our programs and our values. We are not a political party that puts profit over all other values. The theme of my campaign is 'We must take another path', I think that our federal government is going the wrong way. I think that the Green Party is working in the best interests of the people and the earth. I am proud to say, "I am a Green!" |
