Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Marx's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • ​Science & Technology: With the world very near Peak Coal (the point at which we shut down coal-fired power plants faster than we build them, now that renewable energy production costs are significantly less than coal) and fast approaching Peak Oil (the point at which we’ve extracted more than half the petroleum reserves from the Earth), and with the advent of clean and green energy technologies expanding and improving year by year, it’s time to stop providing tax support to the Petroleum and Coal industries.
  • Environment: I believe that it is our sacred duty to conserve and protect our natural resources, so that our grandchildren’s grandchildren will enjoy the natural wonders of our region, just as our families do today. This means protecting our water, air and land from pollution and depletion; by good and reasonable regulation of businesses and transportation of materials like petroleum and coal products – or better still replacing all burning of polluting and uneconomic fossil carbon with clean, economical, renewable energy.
  • Family: A strong nation is built from strong families and strong communities. We can support strong families with jobs and with targeted programs. Paid family leave for new mothers and fathers will strengthen the bonds of parents and children when it is most needed. Increased access to Earned Income Tax Credits for young and poor families will let them feed their children and provide a decent home for them. We know that children who grow up in dire poverty are much more likely to end up in dead-end jobs, unemployed, or worse, incarcerated in jail or prison.
  • Civil Rights: Embodied in the preamble to the Constitution is the Right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Encoded in the Bill of Rights and the 14th, 15th, 19th and 24th Amendments, and in Laws authorized by them, is the notion that each of us, regardless of gender, race, income, creed or social standing are equally entitled to just and equitable treatment when it comes to the government, employment, housing and other basic needs.
  • Racial Justice: Persons of color in America suffered through 400 years of slavery and after that another 100 years before the promises of the 14th Amendment were truly made available to them. Systemic discrimination in education, jobs, access to personal and business finance, and justice continues to this day. Today, we see unreasonable percentages of (especially) young, black men incarcerated mostly due to racial profiling, blatant discrimination in policing, prosecution, and sentencing; and especially the failed and inherently racist War on Drugs.[4]
