Homestead mailing list

He would never be chosen to represent a major party, and the media would  
never
put him on, so the people would not even know he was running. The  
corporations
that fund our candidates wouldn't put money in, and the idea of shrinking  
govt.
would really chafe the current politicians who would have to support this  
new upstart
politician.

What  would happen if a politician said things like:

"Peak Oil is here, it's  now, and there will only be less and more expensive
oil in the  future.  We must restructure ourselves to a much lower  energy
future.  We must stop believing that there is a magic crop or  place to drill
that allow us to continue our wastefull ways.  We must  accept the fact that
alternate energy will be more expensive and we must  factor in the true
costs."

"We are in debt to the rest of the  world.  To get that under control we must
all ask less from the  government and give more.  Cut military spending, cut
spending on the  war on drugs, close military bases at home and around the
world, cut  spending on pet projects.  We must also raise taxes.  We  must
raise taxes on those who have benefited the most, remove the limit  on
payroll taxes, significantly raise taxes on inherited wealth, and  close
loopholes that allow companies and individuals to relocate for  tax
avoidance."

"We must put our people first.  Universal  single payer health care is a bare
minimum but with that must come personal  responsibility.  "For example if
you smoke then you must accept a  lower standard of health care and end of
life care."     

Oh well, back to the real world about worrying about flag  pins.
