Bill Samuel

Having lived six decades now, I've had a lot of experiences! Grew up in a family often oppressed because of our faith - we stood for peace and against war, and for the rights of all regardless of ethnic background. Active from youth in peace and civil rights. Vietnam-era draft resister. Worked for a while for peace and social justice groups, and then became a civil servant. Felt a call to a consistent life ethic, and am currently serving as President of Consistent Life. All this is out of Christian conviction. Active for about 4 decades in Society of Friends (Quakers), and currently a member of the nondenominational Cedar Ridge Community Church in Spencerville, Maryland.

Vote major party or not?
(12 comments) Some people say you should vote for a major party candidate because these are the only ones with a chance to win. Others say that you should vote for someone with whom you agree on most major public policy issues, whether or not they appear to have a chance to win. Many OpEdNews readers really face this question, as they have major problems with thepositions of major party candidates.
