Vote Green on November 4th We are at a crossroads in history, and we face a choice in the South which all Americans face. Do we choose to continue down the path of abandonment, of hopelessness and fear or do we choose to embrace the compassionate, hopeful elements of our national identity? I for one, choose to hope. I believe that the government is here to serve the people and our elected leaders are here to serve you.

In Support of a Negotiated Peace Much like Korea was in the 1950's, the United States is engaged in a war it cannot win against an enemy it cannot defeat. Recently, rhetoric by both the Democratic and Republican Presidential campaigns has been actively calling for a troop surge in Afghanistan. It is time for the United States to remove its forces from Afghanistan and bring the troops home now from the Middle East.

No More Drilling on Public Lands There is no clear evidence that drilling on our remaining public lands will lead to a decrease in oil prices. In fact, oil prices are going to continue to rise regardless because global demand is far outstripping supply. The only real solution is to begin to invest in our alternative energy infrastructure and develop green solutions to the global energy crisis.

This bill would ban the use of cluster bombs, which injure thousands of innocent people each year. Unfortunately, the Pentagon and Department of Defense officials have fought the effort to outlaw these weapons.
