POLITICIAN/ACTIVIST
For more than 30 years, I have also participated in various activities with dozens of groups established to promote peace, social justice, economic justice, and environmentally sound policies. Most of my activist work has been within the Green Parties of Texas and Harris County. Currently, I am serving as co-chair of a new organization, Green Party Houston, which focuses on spreading the Green Movement throughout the Houston metropolitan area.
As a practicing Green, I am painfully aware that these ideals of peace, justice, and ecology are connected. Yes, "painfully," because here in Houston I can find people affected by war, injustice, and environmental foolishness within easy cycling distance, and I can feel their pain.
While neo-liberal capitalism could be used as a tool to achieve them all, the 0.01% make obscene profits from war, injustice, and environmental degradation. The Preamble to the Constitution implies that our government's main purpose is to protect the People from stupidity and greed. Unfortunately, the forces of stupidity and greed have bought the government, and they will not allow our elected representatives to legislate them back into Pandora's box. The only way restore power to the People is through revolution, preferably by nonviolent means.
