The Peace and Freedom Party is back on the ballot. Our slate for 2004 calls for an end to U.S. invasions abroad and human needs, not corporate greed, at home.
Alameda school teacher Marsha Feinland seeks the U.S. Senate seat now held by Barbara Boxer. Congressional candidates are John Reiger (Sacramento), LeiLani Dowell (San Francisco), Joe Williams (Santa Cruz), Alice Stek (Los Angeles) and Kevin Akin (Riverside).
In legislative races, Ian Grimes (San Francisco) and Tom Condit (Berkeley) are running for state senate, and Jim Smith is seeking the coastal Los Angeles assembly seat which runs from Venice to Torrance.
Feinland calls for ending all military intervention in foreign countries. She would create a free, universal national health service and double the minimum wage. She calls for ending all U.S. aid to Israel until it withdraws unconditionally to its pre-1967 borders.
Reiger supports holding legislative elections by proportional representation and "instant runoff voting" for executive positions.
Dowell raises as one of her first priorities repeal of the USA PATRIOT act and fighting for civil liberties for all.
Williams will introduce legislation for a Guaranteed Minimum Income and a moratorium on all new federal prison construction.
Stek, a physician, is focused on health care for all and ending militarism.
Grimes would legalize marijuana and save the state $350,000,000 a year by releasing the drug prisoners from state prisons.
Condit calls for creating a state Workers' Compensation Fund to reduce costs, raise benefits and eliminate insurance company profits.
Smith calls for "an all-out fight to prevent cutbacks in needed social services." He would solve the state's budget crisis through progressive taxation.
