Hostage to the military -industrial- petro- chemical- nuclear complex

By Mary E. "Liz" Hughes

Candidate for State Representative; District 23

This information is provided by the candidate
We have been hostage to the military-industrial-petro chemical-nuclear complex since WW2.
Our city, Pittsburgh suffers from its tax dollars going to the Pentagon to keep bases in foreign countries, invade sovereign nations for the sake of big oil and to dominate the world with weapons of mass destructions.

We need to lead the world in health care, education and bring our tax dollars home to rebuild infrastructure. create conmmunity run, clean energy systems, mass transit. This way jobs will be created and we have will livable communities.

Most importantly we need to lead the world towards peace, end poverty, and create economic justice. There is no excuse for anyone in the United States to go hungry or without basic human needs. Change priorities, end nuclear proliferation.
