I follow politics in Australia and abroad, particularly in America. I’ve heard all the debates including the VP debate. Despite my keen interest I didn’t realise until a few days ago there was a serious alternative contender in the 2008 presidential race. At the same time I have found Obama underwhelming.
I have done my research and considered my political views. I now support the presidential campaign that will:
- introduce single payer health coverage (Medicare for all Americans) - (Americans should get the same free hospital care and affordable medications as I can as an Australian.)
- support solar, wind, geothermal energy and efficiency measures to deal with climate change instead of more oil, gas, coal, ‘clean coal’ (a contradiction in terms) and nuclear.
- give ordinary hard working Americans a living wage.
- work for the interests of citizens instead of corporations.

If I could vote for the US president in November I would vote for Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez.
