going political

Thursday, May 31, 2007

I have decided my primary activity and where I'll put
my energy in the next year is on the election in 2008.
I shall be supporting Bill Richardson, for President. I feel
he is less in the hands of the corporations than most of
the rest and his statements regarding Global warming
and the War in Iraq are positive, in that he feels we
should get out of the war and we must prepare for the
warming as well as try to do our best to prevent it. It
pretty obvious that global warming is already here and
that what we do now is too late to stop it altogether.
But, to get brief summaries of where he stands on
the issues, the following URL should help.

For the Senate, I shall be supporting Mark Udall who has
been our Representative for the 2nd Congressional District
of Colorado. I was disappointed in his recent vote
regarding the money to continue the war, but at the same
time Congress needs to assert their power and demand the
pull back of the troops and hopefully that may happen this
fall.

Mark's website doesn't appear to have been updated with
him running for the Senate, but he does address the issues
and to get some idea of where he stands, please follow the
URL below:

Mark Udall for Colorado


For our 2nd Congressional District I shall be supporting
Jared Polis. He has been active in trying to do something
to improve the education system in Colorado and I also know
he is active in the "I Have a Dream" Foundation which adopts
a class in elementary school and supplies the needed tutors,
money to get the kids through school and in most cases into
and through college.

Please take a look at Jared's website for how he stands on
the issues. By the way, he looks like his mom.

In all the above cases I would like to study the specifics
of their platforms before I get too heavily committed.
