Democratic
Party
The
United States Government, especially a President, has two major
responsibilities…..the Economy and National Security.
Only
a new Democratic President will make our country stronger in
both areas.
Democrats
have:
-
Supported
teachers and improved public education resulting in higher
test scores
-
Passed
tough laws to keep assault weapons and Saturday Night Specials
out of our neighborhoods and schools
-
Passed
HMO reform that gives health care decisions to patients and
their doctors
-
Led
efforts to protect taxpayers and our pension funds from fraudulent
corporate crooks
We
need to re-elect Senator Barbara Boxer and support our Congressional
and State Legislative candidates so they can keep on fighting
to:
-
Protect
a woman’s right to choose
-
Reduce
violent crimes in our neighborhoods and schools
-
Protect
Social Security and Medicare and add prescription drug coverage
-
Help
small businesses and pass balanced budgets
-
Protect
our environment
-
End
hate crimes
Democrats
and Independents should contact us to build a greater California.
We are the only party to invite Independents to vote in our
Presidential primary.

Green
Party
The
Green Party represents working families and the otherwise forgotten
middle-class. We want independent politics and responsible
government that honors constitutional rights and civil liberties.
The
dying two-party system serves only the wealthy corporations,
trading favors for huge campaign contributions. It no longer
represents small business owners, workers, and the poor, elderly
and disenfranchised.
The
Green Party is the fastest growing political party. Voters
know it’s time for change.
We’re
rebuilding the way government operates; we’re not for
sale. Instead of the corporate-driven system embracing consumption
and nonsustainable competition, we practice these 10 key Values:
| Ecological
Wisdom |
Nonviolence |
| Grassroots
Democracy |
Feminism |
| Community-Based
Economics |
Personal
and Global Responsibility |
| Social
Justice |
Respect
for Diversity |
| Decentralization |
Sustainability |
Increasingly,
voters elect Greens on citywide, county and state levels, with
over 180 officeholders nationwide. Greens also work between
elections on community issues. This activism is fundamental
to our grassroots values. We walk our talk.
We
advocate universal health care, alternative energy, election
reform, living wages and sustainable business practices. We’re
working to restore the quality of our everyday lives and communities.

Libertarian
Party
The
Libertarian Party is as American as apple pie.
Like
you, we have jobs, businesses, families and dreams.
We’ve
entered the political arena to restore liberty and American
values. We’re working toward a government that taxes
and spends less, and won’t interfere with your personal
life.
If
you describe yourself as socially tolerant and fiscally responsible,
you’re a Libertarian!
We
believe you-not the government-should decide how to run your
life, checkbook, retirement, education and family.
The
Libertarian Party supports your right to:
-
keep
what you earn. Reduce or eliminate taxes whenever possible.
-
run
your own business and enjoy your property. Reducing regulations
and paperwork creates more jobs, higher pay, and lower prices.
-
Educate
your children as you see fit.
-
Choose
your own lifestyle. The government shouldn’t consider
you a criminal because of your choices in relationships,
recreation or medical treatment.
-
Truly
equal treatment under the law regardless of race, gender,
religion, sexuality, or personal characteristics.
-
own
a firearm. Self-defense is a right, not a political favor.
With
over 60 elected Libertarians in California and over 525 officeholders
countrywide, we’re a real and growing choice.

parties controlled by corporations and the rich to act in our
interests.

Republican
Party
Republicans
are proud of the leadership provided to our country by both
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George W. Bush.
The Republican Party supports:
- Personal responsibility. It is the
role of government's to secure every person's natural right
to pursue the benefits of society for themselves and their
families.
- Free enterprise. Commerce unimpeded
by burdensome regulations is the key to prosperity and economic
growth. Excessive taxation and regulations result in the destruction
of our state's business climate and the exodus of jobs from
California.
- Cutting of government spending
and waste. Runaways government spending needs to be reigned
in before it bankrupts our state. California spends almost
twice as much as it did three decades ago and has nothing
to show for it. Only the people must decide when taxes need
to be increased.
- School Accountability. Student
progress should be monitored through testing with results
and reports provided to parents to ensure accountability.
- Firm immigration policies. Federal
immigration law should be followed to decrease gang violence,
human and drug trafficking. Securing our borders is vital
to securing the safety of our citizens.
Join us in building a better America
and better California.
