On Principles & Values:
Corporate parties offer only empty promises & band-aids
Every four years in Massachusetts we are faced with the duty of who our leaders should be, and every four years from the corporate parties we hear the same empty promises, the same band-aid solutions to problems that would require surgery, and the same
hollow proposals that aren’t followed-up on and don’t speak to real people.We are facing ecological, economic, and social dilemmas in our lifetimes that the world has never before seen, and we need a new kind of leadership that isn’t interested
in making the change later, but making the change NOW.
Grace Ross and Wendy Van Horne are those kind of leaders. Isn’t it time that we elect leaders who respect and work to include ALL people, regardless of where, when, or how they were born?
Isn’t it time we elect leaders who admit that we are in a global environmental crisis and whom are already taking steps to reverse the damage humans have done? Isn’t time we make the change right now? Help us make the change!
