What I stand for:

Truth: Truth before profit in our media.

Peace: Ending the bogus "War on Terrorism." Replace our global militarism with a flourishing peacetime economy.

Justice: Holding all of our officials accountable for their actions. Corporations ≠ People. Human rights must supplant corporate greed.

Ecological Wisdom: Evolving our economy in order to live in cooperation with people and the planet.

Occupy Congress

It is clear that the vast majority of Americans are not being served by Congress, nor the policies which have set back human and civil rights throughout the world, and threaten all people with physical and institutional violence. Legitimate governments serve their people, and those which kill, exploit, impoverish, and harm people deserve to be challenged. The Occupy Movement has risen in response to the most egregious crimes committed by Wall Street with the assistance of our government. At the core of the problem are the inequities between the very rich, represented by major corporations, who have abused their power for their own enrichment and placed the burden and costs of their enterprises upon people and planet. If we succeed, the 1% will recognize their own humanity and join us. Until we have honest journalism, accountability, transparency, redirection of resources away from killing, and controlling and towards healing, cooperation, truth, peace, justice, and fairness, I will be working on the issues confronting the 99% to the best of my ability. I hope that this campaign inspires greater activism, participation, and more candidates to challenge the entrenched corporate incumbents; it is time for the 99% to organize and Occupy Congress!
