Do not vote straight Democrat, there is a choice Nov. 7
Voters owe it to themselves, their children and ancestors to NOT vote a straight Democratic ticket this Nov. 7 election.
The
first name to skip over is Debbie Stabenow. She has no right to take
the seat as senator from Michigan. She sits as the senator for banking,
finance and the George Bush war machine. But she does not represent the
working person, whether poor or middle class.
When Congress
pushed to reward the banking community and the credit card companies
with a stricter bankruptcy law, she was right there to reward the
creditors and do in the consumer. Thanks to her vote in the Senate,
everyone struggling with rising bills, stagnant wages and additional
taxes and fees is in deep trouble and with the sometimes needed remedy
of bankruptcy all but out of reach.
That vote was no isolated
incident. She voted for the war in Iraq, a war draining billions from
public needs — health care, education, decent housing, environmental
justice and worker protections. Death over domestic needs, that’s how
Debbie voted and continues to vote.
Stab-me-now did us in again
recently with a long term measure our children will find unforgivable —
the 2006 Miliary Commissions Act. She agreed with the right wing, the
Bushite oil interests, and the Rumsfeld enemies of liberty to deny the
basic Constitutional guarantee of habeas corpus for “terrorist”
detainees. With that same vote she agreed that torture is okay, in
defiance of the Geneva Conventions.
Go directly to the Green
Party portion of the ballot and cast your vote for David Sole for
Senate, a long time activist for peace and justice.
Your vote
will send the world a message. You may not be on the winning side in
November, but you surely will be on the winning side of history.
David Sole for Senate.
