The most important quality in a President is the ability to inspire and to lead. We require someone who knows that we have fallen over the precipice and are grasping for a branch to hold on to.  I co-organized the campaigns that saved Headwaters Redwood Forest and won $4 million from the FBI for violations of free speech.  I’m a songwriter who knows the value of arts and humor.  My spirituality honors Mother Earth.

All the issues are interconnected: protecting children, climate change, a global living wage, prosecuting criminal banks, universal health care, saving the post office, lowering the voting age to 16, supporting labor, converting the police into a peace force, women’s rights, normalizing cannabis, ending mass incarceration, enforcing civil rights and equal opportunity, Honoring Native American treaties, embracing immigrants, lowering taxes, ending war, prosecuting crimes against humanity, preserving water, fostering community gardens, creating free nationwide public campgrounds, ending fossil fuel use, building a solar nation, and creating jobs cleaning up our world.  To do this we must recognize that we are all related and interdependent.  We need each other.

My young daughter has given me a vision for the future and has saved the world for me. Can the Green Party win? Anything can happen!
