Because some issues are 'strike' issues..
A sample of some issues with me to which I will not 'compromise' my principles on, and, therefore, will NOT vote for anyone who uses their office to attack, eliminate, erode, reduce, limit or compromise on with these issues. And party affiliation doesn't give anyone a pass.

  • Trickle down policies = strike issue!
  • Job destroying so-called free trade policies = strike issue!
  • Attempting to undermine or eliminate a progressive tax model = strike issue!
  • Attempting to undermine, eliminate, reduce or jeopardize social security = strike issue!
  • Attempting to undermine, eliminate, reduce or jeopardize social welfare programs = strike issue!
  • Attempting to undermine, eliminate, reduce or jeopardize labor unions = strike issue!
  • Privatizing public infrastructure = strike issue!
  • Inequality i.e. women, minorities, same sex couples, etc = strike issue!
  • Prohibition of autonomy over one's own body i.e. abortion, war on drugs, etc = strike issue!
  • Violation of privacy rights without warrant or probable cause = strike issue!




Peace,
Xicano

1. Some might say thats being a purist
but F--- them. I have more respect for this approach than one who blindly fills in the vote because they see big D for Democrat next to the name.
