Where I Stand

Because Greens are independent, we remember that the Declaration of Independence begins: "We, the People…", not "We, the Corporations…"

Pledge to Fight Corporate Crime and Corruption

I challenge both the Democratic and Republican candidates in this 3rd District race to sign the Congressional Candidate’s Pledge to Crack Down on Corporate Crime, sponsored by Ralph Nader’s public interest organization Democracy Rising. In so doing, I will outline three specific steps the federal government can take to curb unaccountable corporations and their overpaid and, sometimes, crooked CEOs.

The 2002 Green Party Commitment to America

Green Party candidates for the United States Congress announce the Green Commitment to America to meet the needs of our families, our communities, our nation and our planet.

Iraq: A Lesson in Violence, Greed and Leadership

The incumbent Congresswoman and her Republican challenger have not challenged the violence and greed of the Bush Administration's policies concerning Iraq. I am especially disappointed in Rep. DeLauro, who is supposed to be a congressional leader. Why hasn't she spoken out on this issue?

Universal Health Care

A key feature of my Universal Health Care proposal is that the federal government should set guidelines for universal health care and provide funding for start up costs, while the states--which are in a better position to do so--should determine the means. This is the basic approach of House Concurrent Resolution 99 (CR 99), which I endorsed last March. 

Independent Investigation of 9-11 Terrorist Attacks

As citizens, we should not rest or be satisfied until American policy, foreign and domestic, is based upon verifiable and established facts.  Democracy demands no less.

We must End the War on Drugs

It's time to end the ill-conceived "war" on drugs and call it "a failure." It's time to treat drug addiction as a public health problem, not a criminal justice problem. It's time to use our criminal justice resources to fight terrorism and corporate crime. 

Israeli/Palestinian Conflict (1)

Israelis and Palestinians basically want the same thing: a place in which to live in peace.

Israeli/Palestinian Conflict (2)

Rosa DeLauro fails to support local activists for peace in the Middle East.

Israeli/Palestinian Conflict (3)

Leaders Involved in the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict Lack Both Vision and Courage.

Rosa DeLauro and Connecticut's Environment

Congresswoman DeLauro is concerned about the environment everywhere except in her District.

Corporate Welfare

Charlie Pillsbury opposes giving $billions away to corporate agribusiness.

Statement on Reparations for Slavery

"It’s better late than never to know what slavery cost us, and better late than never to compensate the descendants of slaves..."
