02/27/2006 | Sounds like another well-intentioned Quixotic campaign that most will never hear of, but I like the platform.
Still, I'll be voting for four-eyes in the primary, and hopefully then in November. The idea of Schwarzenegger being taken out by a skinny geek in glasses is just too appealing an image to pass by.

02/27/2006 |  This is what Michael Strimling's ballot statement says, in the Democratic Primary: I run for Governor so that we can vote for what we are truly for and against. Against wiretapping and dishonest wars. Prosecute those in government who invade privacy without a warrant. Bring the California National Guard home from Iraq. For worker’s rights, fair pay and education. Clean air and water. Universal health insurance that limits drug prices, establishes free clinics, and eliminates HMO bureaucrats. Value families by enforcing fair hours, vacations and pensions for everyone who works. Require huge companies like Walmart to insure workers. Proposition 13 should be for small homeowners, not huge corporations like Chevron. If corporations paid taxes on the current value of property, we could pay California’s debt, reduce sales tax, reduce tuition, and support childcare and assistance for elders. Schools not jails. In 1980, California had 22,000 prisoners, now we have 164,000, increasing costs by $5 billion. Thirty years ago, California had the best schools. Now we have the most prisoners, and bankrupt schools. Why do we impose life sentences for nonviolent offenders, when we can train the repentant for productive jobs? A moratorium on biased and expensive capital punishment, which 14 States and 75 countries have outlawed. Speak truth to power. MichaelStrimling.com
