Jane Rands for California State Assembly, District 72
Tuesday’s elections showed both how far the Green Party has come, and how far we still have to go. But it’s not over – on November 17th California Green Jane Rands is running for State Assembly in District 72.
Jane Rands summarizes her reasons for running on her website: “No one should be without clean water, clean air, health care, or an education, and yet so many people in our state are suffering because they cannot afford these things. If these and other issues like a sustainable economy, decentralized clean energy, equal marriage rights and campaign finance reform are important to you, then I ask you to consider voting for me in the Special Election on Nov. 17.” Her platform follows the excellent formula of adopting the four pillars of Green thinking to issues that affect her community, such as water shortages, offshore oil drilling, marriage equality, livable wages, single payer health care, overcrowded prisons, marijuana decriminalization, campaign finance reform, and the death penalty.
California has been very receptive to the Greens’ message when quality candidates like Jane Rands step into the arena. To find out more about her campaign and get involved, check out http://www.janerandsforassembly.com/ .
We here at Third Party Revolution endorse Jane Rands in her campaign for California State Assembly District 72, along with many other third party and independent candidates seeking public offices nationwide, ranging from local to federal levels.
I was really hoping for an alternative to business as usual. I agree that a sustainable economy is imperative. Our state is imploding under the weight of the entitlements foisted upon us by unions and government workers alike. It needs to stop. I also agree that cleaner power is a must, but are you aware how inefficient solar panels can be? In addition, they use considerable amounts of water to keep clean, else they are very unproductive. However, the real show stopper for me was the suggestion of marriage inequality. Everyone in the state is free to marry, as long as they acknowledge that marriage is defined by natural law and civil law. While I might like to get pregnant, that too is defined by natural law. Therefore, I concede that you will not be my candidate of choice.
