VoteSmart.org You can find quite a few of my positions on my VoteSmart profile page. As of now, most of these are combed from my 2012 campaign, but my view have not changed much since then. The folks at VoteSmart have recently (19 August 2020) invited me to complete their survey, so there will be more useful facts there soon.
A Greener, Newer Deal I am an advocate of the Ecosocialist Green New Deal as proposed by Howie Hawkins in his presidential campaign. Like Jill Stein's Green New Deal, adapted from Hawkins's 2010 campaign for governor of New York, it goes further and faster than the watered-down version proposed by Democrats in Congress.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The endorsement of the Ecosocialist Green New Deal does not constitute an endorse of Howie Hawkins himself, although I have donated to his campaign. I like several of the current candidates, including Dario Hunter.
Peace + Justice + Ecology + Democracy = COMPASSION! The threat posed by the Martin Luther King's triplet evils—racism, militarism, and consumer capitalism—looms even larger today than it did during MLK's lifetime. Societies and nations dominated by these triplets act as obstacles to solving the rapidly growing climate crisis. The only weapons that can defeat the triplets are love and compassion, on a massive scale, for people and our planet.
I invite you to read through the current Green Party US and Green Party of Texas platforms, as well as the Demands issued by Extinction Rebellion US. I intend to run on those principles and programs, which include (in no particular order):
Improved Medicare for All
A national initiative to recruit, train, and employ thousands of mental health care providers
Full reproductive choice for women and families
Canceling student debt and making public post-secondary schools tuition-free
A just transition from a fossil-fuel economy to a renewable-energy economy, including training and employment for all who want to work
Implementation of Approval Voting or Ranked Choice Voting in the appropriate jurisdictions, with voter-verifiable paper receipts
An immediate moratorium on new fossil-fuel infrastructure, such as pipelines and refineries
Establishing Citizens Assemblies in the various bioregions to determine, recommend, and if possible implement evidence-based solutions for local and national environmental problems
Massive immigration reform, including the end of all long-term family detentions and separations
Ending imperialist, neoliberal policies that keep the nations of the Global South in dire poverty
Subsidizing the creation of urban farms and food webs
Rooting out all forms of systemic bias from government agencies at all levels, and finally outlawing discrimination against transgender Americans in housing and employment
Financial and other reparations for Indigenous and African Americans, for the centuries of violent repression that they have endured
Closing US military bases overseas and cleaning up the messes they have left in more than 100 countries
