He would fight to reduce the "Defense Budget by eliminating unnecessary and exorbitant high tech weapons". Yet he supports a better paid and prepared active military. He advocates retaining the National Guard and military reserve for home-land security and increasing services for our veterans.
Environmentally, Mr. Moore calls for an emphasis on preserving, protecting, distributing, allocating, as well as, the retention and conversion of our water. He believes in preserving our natural resources and protecting our environment.
He supports affordable housing, the prevention of media monopolies, higher teacher salaries, an improved educational system, removing the embargo on Cuba and removing the "favored status" provided Cuban refugees.
Additionally, he calls for the "reduction of corporate control of American companies and their control over our government and citizens". He argues for "better pensions, health care, higher salaries, better safety conditions, environmental protections, legal rights, union protections and full benefits" for American workers.
Brian Moore, the Independent candidate for U.S. Senate is a man of high principles, great passion, strong will, and he is determined to make a difference to the citizens of Florida. His battle will not be an easy one. His financial base pales when com-pared to the many millions of his opponents. He has to fight to be heard and in the two scheduled agreed upon debates are between the Democratic and Republican candidates only.
Somehow, it appears the loser is the citizenry. It is unfair that the views of all of the candidates for this office or any office are withheld from the voters. It is the reason I chose to write this piece.
I interviewed Brian Moore for my television show. (I also interviewed Katherine Harris; Sen. Nelson has yet to make himself available.) I found Brian Moore to be a man of great consciousness who has an innate understanding of the issues, of the concerns of the people, and who is motivated by his Don Quixote desire to right wrongs and uplift and secure his fellow human beings. It disturbs me greatly that his views are being ignored by the media and his opponents.
In my estimation, eliminating his voice from the electorate is an atrocity of our system. Our forefathers would denounce this action as uncivilized and unacceptable... and so should we.
