- Real Democracy in America
-
The current system is inherently undemocratic. Changes are needed to provide true democracy, including public financing of elections, IRV, proportional representation, and the elimination of the electoral college.
- Peace and Security
-
Peace is the only security.
A serious policy of working for more justice in the world, and striving for friendly relations with all nations, not international aggression, is the key to security.
- Health Care for All
-
No one should be without health care. We are the only modern industrial country without a national health plan covering everyone. We need to join the rest of the modern world and guarantee health care for every resident of this country. Healthcare is a right.
