[annie butler]

dear statecom members, especially our candidates:
here is something from a newsletter that comes cross my desk.  maybe some of 
you get this.  maybe our candidates should respond to their survey.  maybe 
they would campaign for our candidates.  thir new direstions (see below) 
sound like ours.

GETTING POLITICAL-WHO ARE THE "ORGANIC CANDIDATES" IN THE UPCOMING 2006 
ELECTIONS?
The first step for organic consumers to make long-term positive changes, is 
to know where our elected public officials and their challengers stand on 
the key issues of health, justice, and sustainability. After we know where 
they stand, we'll know who deserves our support and who needs to be removed 
from office. Next week, in conjunction with our lobbying ally, the Organic 
Consumers Fund (OCF), we will email you the Organic Consumers 2006 Political 
Candidate Survey. This Survey will help you identify candidates seeking 
office in 2006 who are willing to shift government resources from our 
current self-destructive path toward a healthy, greener and re-localized 
economy, a stabilized climate, a more democratic media and electoral 
process, and peace and justice--with organic agriculture and Fair Trade 
leading the way.

The Organic Consumers Candidate Survey will tell us who supports the 
following New Directions:

    *      Adequate funds for American farmers to make the transition to 
organic
    *      Universal health care with a focus on prevention, complementary 
medicine, and good nutrition
    *      80% greenhouse gas reductions
    *      Increased access for low-income communities to organic 
information and food
    *      Internet freedom
    *      Publicly funded elections, and a guaranteed paper trail for 
electronic voting
    *      A thorough re-localization and greening of the economy, 
transferring funds from the current annual $500 billion military budget

candidates) please email us here: volunteer at organicconsumers.org
