| New Jersey Independents will
run and/or support independent candidates who will fight for the following: |
- Full employment based on good jobs for all people and the establishment
of a new economic order based on the needs of society and not on profit,
and which treats all members of society as worthy of dignity and respect.
- Peace and an end to foreign policies based on global military
supremacy and intervention, an end to all support for dictators and oppressive
client states. Also an end to policies which exploit other peoples, wage
war at the expense of the earth and import drugs into our communities.
- An equitable public health care system with universal coverage
for all citizens not based on employment status or ability to pay.
- Economic equality and democracy. The right for all citizens to
clean, safe, affordable and environmentally sound housing despite the ability
to pay.
- Equal rights for all. An end to policies, which marginalize and
make prisoners of minorities and the poor and which give preference to the
construction of prisons rather than the building of schools, community centers
and playgrounds.
- Full equality for women. The right of a woman to determine medical
procedures concerning her body. The idea that child-care is work and the
right for all citizens to be provided with affordable child-care, should
all members of the family choose to work outside the home.
- Public policy committed to the protection of the environment for
this and all future generations. A new environmentally responsive economic
vision for the future.
- A fair and graduated tax system that takes into account the ability
to pay.
- An educational system based on the principles of citizenship and
the teaching of freedom that promotes an environment conductive to educating
our children as active and questioning citizens rather than passive and obedient
workers and consumers.
- An end to the “two-party system”, independent political organizing
and struggle, campaign finance reform and proportional representation.
