- Green Party U.S. Senate Candidate Says Prop 14 is a "Power Grab" By Big Business Interests
-
Duane Roberts, Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate, says Prop 14 is a "power grab" by big business interests that will disenfranchise millions of Californians by limiting their choices at the polls. Roberts urges voters to reject this "unprecedented attack on democratic rights."
- Major Campaign Themes
-
I support driving private health insurance companies out of business and replacing them with a single-payer "Medicare-for-all" type health care system, ending overseas wars to pay for tuition-free higher education for all students, oppose nuclear power, and back the legalization of marijuana and hemp for medicinal, recreational, and industrial purposes.
