politics and policies that put the the interests of their campaign donors - oil
companies, insurance companies, drug companies, defense contractors and
financial institutions - before the real human needs of people both at home

peace. My campaign will help build this party for our children and
grandchildren," said candidate Pillsbury.

this for them, " Pillsbury added.
