Green candidate to battle kleptocracy

I am a candidate for U.S. Senate for the Green Party. I am running because as a dad of two young children, our generation must take back democracy. I want to represent the people, not corporations and the top 1 percent.

I will fight to end the military industrial dominance of our government with its endless greed and killings, end our dependence on fossil fuels by 2050, providing single-payer health care for all as a right not as a privilege and break up the big banks and power of Wall Street that has been stealing resources from our children and grandchildren.

This country is run by a global corporate mafia that has written the rules, laws and free trade agreements so that they no longer need sovereign borders when they can create their own. They no longer pay for the resources that make their profits. And, they have rented politicians who need their money, lying to the citizens saying that they are serving democracy.

This is a crime. It’s called kleptocracy. I will fight every day exposing this and making sure every senator, congressperson and the president is representing the people, not corporate totalitarianism.

Our world is not for sale. Our country will not be the biggest terrorist. Our judicial system will not lock up the whistle-blower and communities of color while politicians commit war crimes and CEOs fraud. They will no longer walk free while we become slaves.

There is no peace without justice. And, justice will prevail.

I am a former Eagle County commissioner and former executive director of a national outdoor youth charity and dedicated to social justice. I am taking on establishment politicians by demanding we take back America from corporate government and fight for the people.

I hope I get your support. Learn more about me at www.arnmenconi.com
