Top Priorities if Elected |
- THAT CORPORATIONS PAY TAX at true value of property, not low rates of 30 years ago under Prop 13, to reduce other taxes & pay for health and schools
- SCHOOLS NOT JAILS: educate, train for jobs, rehabilitate, pardon the repentant, a moratorium on expensive new prisons and biased capital punishment
- UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, WORKERS RIGHTS. AGAINST THE WAR AND WIRETAPPING. Support transit, environment, privacy, choice, childcare, eldercare.

- Support from Progressive Voters throughout the State
- This Campaign Seeks the Endorsement of the Voters for Progressive Policies

- Proposition 13 was for Homeowners, Not Corporations
-
Hit the blue links to read position papers or go to http://www.MichaelStrimling.com. California has a continual lack of money because corporate taxes are falling - this must be reversed or the State and education will continue to spiral downward
- The State is Being Bankrupted by Prisons and Capital Punishment
-
California Prisons have expanded 800% in the last two decades, with little increase in safety but great costs. We cannot live this way, we cannot educate our workforce or progress with the extra $6 billion a year spent on criminal sentences that are harsher than any other State and a death penalty not practiced in 21 States or any other modern country.
- Universal Rights to Healthcare, Fair Hours and Benefits
-
Workers and families have right to fair pay, health care, fair hours, time for loved ones and pensions. ADDED BONUS: Mike Strimling's Email from Monday, March 31, 2003, as the Iraq War Started
