Money, the grubby part of the campaign, is all taken care of so let's get on with the issues.
May the candidate with the best combination of knowledge and values win!!

Key Values of the
National Green Party
    Maine needs a progressive tax policy - Tax those who have,
not those who don't, and Maine will have more revenue and fairness.
Community-Based Economics
and Economic Justice
    Maine needs to save our children - Far too many Maine
children are living in poverty, sickness and despair.
Personal and Global
Responsibility
   Maine needs to commit to fighting climate change - Only an all-out
War on Pollution will give our children a future.
Concern for the environment
and Sustainability
   Maine needs health care for everyone - Insurance is not care,
and even people with insurance are losing homes and getting sicker.
Social Justice and Equal
Opportunity
   Maine needs to give human rights to everyone - We need
marriage equality and an end to racial profiling.
Respect for Diversity
and Equality
   Maine needs to make public education a priority - The ones we don't
teach are more likely to become adicts or criminals.
Grassroots Democracy
   Maine needs to revise our criminal laws - Alternatives to
incarceration can reduce crime and save taxpayer dollars.

Non-Violence

   Maine needs to protect rights for people, not corporations -
We need a law to reveal corporate involvement in electoral politics.
   Maine needs to control our water - We're letting corporations
take it for nothing, killing our environment and our economy.
    Generally, Maine should be run like a family, not like a business -
Businesses are based on competition and losers are left behind,
families are based on cooperation and those who are struggling are helped.

Voting Green in 115 is safe.

Many people worry that voting for a Green might split the progressive vote and let a Republican slip through, and though the Democrat might not be ideal the Republican might be worse. This is a legitimate fear in many races, but it is nothing to be afraid of in District 115. In 2010 when I ran for the Maine House I finished second, beating the Republican by 10%. Republicans have never done better than 20% in this District, and won't this year either. Voting for me will not turn the district Republican, but it might turn it Green. And if you look at what I stand for I am what Democrats used to be. I stand for the values you want, just with a different initial next to my name.



I invite people to ask me questions on where I stand and/or why. I particularly invite all who are interested to contact me and help with my campaign. I need volunteers to help brainstorm, pass out literature, knock on doors, talk with friends about me, write letters to the editor supporting me, put signs in their yards, and especially host little house parties where I can meet people in the district and answer their questions and concerns.
