Best candidate for Governor of California: Peter Miguel Camejo

[sujan]

"My platform is what makes me better than Simon or Davis," Camejo says. "That I’m not associated with money, not influenced by money makes me the best candidate."

Energy
Stop paying for bad decisions and corruption in the utility industry. End the bail-outs that have destroyed our budget surplus.

Living Wage & Labor Rights
It is unacceptable that many people who work full-time are earning so little that they are still in poverty. Enact "living wage" laws statewide. Fight for the rights of workers, unions, and prevailing wage rules.

Fair Elections
Camejo supports using run-offs in state-wide elections. Camejo will work for campaign finance reform, to eliminate bribery and corruption.

Civil Rights
End racial profiling by police and the criminal justice system. End the death penalty. Advocate for women's rights and reproductive freedom.

Environment
Camejo supports all efforts to protect the last remaining old-growth trees.

Education
Guarantee a quality education to everyone, including equal access to resources such as books, school facilities that work, and great teachers who are paid enough to stay in the profession.

Law & Order
Increase rehabilitation and training for people in trouble. Abolish California's "3 Strikes" law.

Crime & Drugs
Camejo will treat drug addiction as a disease and not Crime.

Health
Guarantee Universal Health Care to every Californian. Require labeling and regulation of genetically modified foods.

Transportation
Traffic congestion cannot be dealt with without slowing population growth or long-term planning on organizing our cities better and establishing mass transportation, getting fuel cell going in cars and reducing the size of cars.

2. If Comejo wants my vote, he can re-register as a Democrat and

oppose the recall. Of the candidates running, I personally like Arianna the best but I will probably vote for Bustamonte. Comejo could help fix the party by bringing back the Greens. If he doesn't, to me, that means he wants everyone to lose.
