Favorite Quote:
"Life floats down the river on a red raft of blood.
Night blocks out the heavens like a big black shiny bug.
White in one spot.
Well?"
Personal Hero and Why:
W.E.B. DuBois had a clear understanding of the nature of US imperialism. He devoted his life to the struggle to free the American working class from the grips of capitalism and to unite oppressed people of the world.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I do not expect to defeat the incumbent Representative. My goal in the campaign is first to promote discussion of the global climate crisis and present to voters a rational workable solution.
Secondly, I give voters the opportunity to vote for a candidate who is not part of the one party of militarists, imperialist and capitalist exploiters that masquerades as two parties.
