A candidate to vote for
I’m not voting for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She was on the board of Wal-Mart for six years. She receives significant contributions from large corporations, health insurance and defense industry companies.

She voted for the Patriot Act. She still refuses to admit that this war has been a dreadful mistake from the beginning. She’s good on reproductive rights, but she is now inching toward the right. Is she serious about my right to control my own body?
Her refusal to debate Jonathan Tasini in the Democratic primary really ticked me off. What could be more contemptuous of Democrats and democracy?
I heard Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate. I found him sensible: troops out of Iraq now, health care for everyone, increased minimum wage, job growth in this country instead of our taxes subsidizing moving our jobs overseas, etc.
How nice to have a candidate I want to vote for.
