Our
election system is in need of serious reform to expand and enrich
democracy. I support measures such as comprehensive campaign finance
reform and Clean Money public financing of the public's elections;
ample free television time for candidates, coupled with the break-up
of the media monopolies that restrict political debate; election day
as a holiday; election day voter registration; enhanced voting
rights enforcement; an end to the racially-biased disenfranchisement
of felons who have served their time; full Congressional
representation for residents of the District of Columbia;
cross-party endorsement or "fusion"; an inclusive debate process
that does not exclude credible 3rd-party candidates; and expansion
of elections using full (proportional) representation, which assure
more accurate and broader representation than winner-take-all
elections.
I also support "Instant Runoff Voting." IRV offers a cost-effective way of insuring that the winning candidate is preferred by a majority of voters; it encourages voters to vote their wishes and not their fears; it promotes greater voter turnout and positive campaigning.
I am running my presidential campaign in line with these reform principles. I don't take corporate PAC money. My campaign is financed largely through small donations, mostly through the Internet -- and propelled by thousands of volunteers. A true grassroots campaign.
