Political Philosophy for Jim Reid

Candidate for
Mayor; City of San Francisco

We are about to enter a new century and are at a turning point in American and World history. We the People need to take responsibility for our government. We need to change how our political system works and make our elected officials answerable to all of the people. We need to end campaign contributions from moneyed special interests by having full public funding of all local, state, and national elections. We need to legislate campaign spending limits; inclusion of all serious candidates in all debates; instant runoff voting; same day voter registration and voting. We as a Nation and a World need to regulate and control the political influence of multi-national corporations. We need to develop World government like the US government that protects the interests of both large and small nation states. We need a World force that protects the rights of the individual against harm by any local government. This World Government needs to protect all people, animals, and the Earth from harm by any government or business interest. We need to develop a Global policy to aggressively reduce world population and mediate the problems that our current population is causing to the earth and it's inhabitants.
