My Philosophy Comes From A Worldview That

Public Control Of The Political Process Requires Public Financing. The Restoration Of Our American Democracy Depends Upon Public Financing.

The Problems That Exist On Wall Street Today Go To The Center Of A Debate In This Country About Wealth And Democracy. We Cannot Keep Our Democracy If Those Who Are In Charge Of Handling The Engines Of Our Economy Are Not Honest With Their Shareholders. That's Why There Is A Role For Government Regulation Here. That Role For Government Is Breaking Up The Monopolies, Insisting On Public Disclosure, Insisting On Public Audits, Insisting On Restitution Whenever Someone Has Been Cheated.

Fear Is A Weapon Of Mass Destruction.

I Have Worked To Expand The Health Care Debate Beyond The Current For-profit System, To Include A Public Option And An Amendment To Free The States To Pursue Single Payer.

As Citizen-activists The World Over Merge, They Can Become An Irresistible Force To Create Peace And Protect The Planet. From Here Will Come A New Movement To Abolish Nuclear Weapons And All Weapons Of Mass Destruction. From Here Will Come The Demand For Sustainable Communities, For New Systems Of Energy, Transportation And Commerce. From Here Comes The Future Rushing In On Us. How Does One Acquire The Capacity For Active Citizenship? The Opportunities Exist Every Day...active Citizenship Begins With An Envisioning Of The Desired Outcome And A Conscious Application Of Spiritual Principles.
