Bio
I consider myself a Progressive and a Civil Libertarian.
The current political issues I strongly support:
National Health Care
The Closing of Guantanamo Bay
Ending the torturing of political prisoners
Complete funding for Special Education
A Woman's Right to Choose
GLBT Rights (marriage or civil unions, being adoptive or foster parents, recognition in the military)
Public/Mass Transportation (to lessen our dependency on automobiles, but I would like to see the automobile industry responsible for building the trains and subway cars)
