My political career goes back to the '60s and those were times of vigorous debates.

I am for police function that protects citizens of this great Nation, not a police function that is used to terrorize them.

We must work toward the elimination of all nuclear weapons, and an end to policies which cause this country to move toward the weaponization of space.

People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for.

Citizens across the United States are now uniting in a great cause to establish a Department of Peace, seeking nothing less than the transformation of our society, to make non-violence an organizing principle, to make war archaic through creating a paradigm shift in our culture for human development, for economic and political justice and for violence control.

The problems that exist on Wall Street today go to the center of a debate in this country about wealth and democracy. We cannot keep our democracy if those who are in charge of handling the engines of our economy are not honest with their shareholders. That's why there is a role for government regulation here. That role for government is breaking up the monopolies, insisting on public disclosure, insisting on public audits, insisting on restitution whenever someone has been cheated.

Active citizenship begins with an envisioning of the desired outcome and a conscious application of spiritual principles.
