Michael Calvan on Principles & Values

America is proceeding in a dangerous direction

You may ask, why am I running for United States Senate? I am running because I am watching this country proceed in a dangerous direction, and it is past time for us to have politicians who will speak the truth. These truths, though self-evident to some, need to be explained to a wider population. Source: Campaign website, www.michaelcavlan.org, "Why" Jan 24, 2006

Change the debate and change society itself

We as Greens plan to change the nature of the national debate from selfish, self-centered, and short sighted policy, to building a world based on cooperation. Not only do we need to change the debate but to change society itself. We are honored to be apart of this necessary process. Source: Campaign website, www.michaelcavlan.org, "Why" Jan 24, 2006
