Issues

Campaign themes

2012

Petersen's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]

  • Peace
Excerpt: "Get our troops and contractors out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and over 100 other countries. We spend more on our military than all other countries combined. This has no logical result other than enriching the Military Industrial Complex."
  • Wise Land Use
Excerpt: "Create the Fort Ord Soldiers National Monument to preserve as open space and honor the memory of soldiers who trained there. "
  • Veterans
Excerpt: "Expedite the Veterans’ Cemetery on what used to be Ft Ord, will full funding from the Federal government. Our veterans deserve this!"
  • Economy
Excerpt: "Revitalize out economy, and implement the Green New Deal with funds that we are spending war for investment in green jobs in renewable energy, mass transit, and conservation."
  • Health Care For All
Excerpt: "Over 40 million Americans have no health insurance. If the rest of the industrialized world can have effective single-payer health care systems, with American ingenuity so can we in the United States!"
