Woodinville, WA

I believe in social liberalism and moderate fiscal policies. I'm a civil libertarian, but don't necessarily believe that libertarian economics can work. Unfettered capitalism is extreme. A corporation's goals are often at odds with social goals. Corporations need regulations just as much as individuals do. I believe that our country has moved too far in the direction of corporations over people.

I'm married, work full time in IT and am an animal lover.

Issues of importance for me include:
Universal Single Payer Health Care
Health Freedom
Ending the War on Drugs
Ending the War on Terror (misguided and should be a police issue, not a military issue)
Fair Tax (fairtax.org)
Green Tax (geo-greenism.org)
National Initiative (ni4d.us)

The Governor of OK: Remove 10 Year Prison Sentence for Mom's First-Time Marijuana Offense

I am appalled at the level of imprisonment in this country for non-violent offenders. This woman was never arrested before and her "crime" is non-violent. This is absolutely ridiculous. If our government keeps this up, we will be seeing a lot more protests like occupy wall street.

Cobb County GA: Release Grieving Mother of Hit-and-Run & Install a Crosswalk

This sounds really insane to me. So, the local government FAILS the community by not providing a safe crossing area near a bus stop, a mother loses her child and now her other children may potentially be deprived of their mother's care because the same government wants to jail HER for their lack of a safe crossing area. WTH?
