Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Together, we can transition from a war economy to a green economy that puts America back to work.
 - Our national priority must be Your Street, not favors for Wall Street.  We need tough regulations to end runaway corporate greed.
 - I support single-payer health care, repeal of No Child Left Behind, and a temporary foreclosure freeze.
