We need people who...
Will protect our planet by advocating for/enacting strict environmental-protection laws
Will strenthen social service programs and education
Will eliminate tax breaks for the wealthy
Will reduce our dependance on foreign oil and explore alternative fuel sources
Don't have a vested economic interest in waging war
Will consider increasing the minimum wage to a living wage
Can see beyond walls around our borders
Will support equal rights for gays and lesbians
Are committed to sustainable agricultural practices, including organic farming, and who will help to enact a ban on irradiated and genetically engineered foods
Will work to halt animal cruelty, including factory farming, the fur/leather industries, and animal testing
Will promote reproductive health education that factually discusses birth control options and provides condoms while at the same time emphasizing abstinence as a viable and doable choice (Duh! it doesn't have to be either/or!)
Will support and protect LIFE across the board, which means no death penalty, no abortion (even in cases of rape and incest), no animal cruelty, no doctor-assisted suicide, an end to genocide
Will work for nationally-mandated maternity and paternity benefits (paid parental leave plans, for example) like many European countries have
Will recognize the rights of sovereign Native peoples to retain and control their ancestral lands and sacred sites
