Campaign Statement - In the words of Jerry Brown
Our governing institutions don't belong to us anymore. They have been
taken over by an elite who are so driven by greed that they have learned
to profit as our country declines and people suffer. Their control of
politics is crushing democracy and producing massive disengagement.
That is why I have rejected the time-worn politics of big money ans
started an insurgent movement relying on the people themselves--taking
contributions only up to $100 and attacking the de facto merger of both
parties into a Washington Party of corruption and careerism.
Our country was founded on a premise and a promise.
The premise was that each of us was created equal and endowed with
inalienable rights.
The promise was that each of us would have the opportunity to exercise
thouse rights and thereby perfect out liberty.
What is lacking is the commitment--the commitment to redeem the promise
of America. That is what presidential campaigns must be about or they
are about nothing.
I see an America where the people themeselves join together and demand
change, where we do not divide ourselves into middle class and under
class. Rather, we discover the meaning of caring in a country that
leaves no one out.
Concretely, this means a commitment to a Family Bill of Rights where:
1. Every person has the right to health care.
2. Every person has the right to a living wage.
3. Every person has the right todecent shelter and to be free from hunger.
4. Every person has the right to an education.
5. Every person has the right to be secure in their old age.
That's my commitment--And if you join, it will be our commitment. And
it will be done.

Out of curiosity, what does this list have to do with families?
