Campaign themes

2014

Factor's campaign website listed the following themes for the 2014 election:

My name is Danny Factor, the Green-Rainbow Party Candidate for Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I've been a lifelong activist, and more recently a public interest attorney representing the victims of greed and power, such as domestic violence victims and injured workers.

I am running first and foremost because I think every person in Massachusetts -- and I mean everyone -- deserves dignity, respect and love. I think that the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Office led by Bill Galvin for twenty years, has been far too timid and antiquated in serving the people of Massachusetts.

Too often our people do not have the means to take care of their basic needs such as food, health care and shelter or protect themselves from environmental and other hazards -- the basic rights that should exist in a democracy.

This is because many of our community decisions such as our economic security and our health are decided by a small amount of wealthy people and politicians who take their money and are influenced by them.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth could be a shining light, pointing the way to help average people, and challenging those who seek to exploit us. But instead corporate interests control the actions of our elected officials. This makes life unnecessarily hard for us.

A dramatic change is needed -- and very possible.

Danny's Bold Ideas:

  • Get big money out of our politics. This can be done by instituting publicly funded elections as has already been voted by the people in a referendum but blocked by our Legislature. We must demand that the Legislature reflect the will of the people.
  • Enact an economic bill of rights that will make Massachusetts be the first state to end poverty. This means guaranteeing the right to healthy food, clean water, decent shelter, and an enhanced ‘Medicare for all.’ single-payer health care system.
  • End unemployment and pay each worker a living wage by instituting a Green New Deal, a Green version of the program that helped us out of the Great Depression.
  • Institute a system whereby businesses are regulated to make sure that they operate only for the public good. This means moving away from our businesses being weapons manufacturers and polluters, and encouraging the growth of healthy small businesses, especially nonprofits and cooperatives.
  • Break up the big banks and create a Bank of the Commonwealth. This will end concentration of corporate power over our common funds and also save the Commonwealth money to provide for human needs.
  • End foreclosures in Massachusetts, using eminent domain to provide fairer terms than predatory lenders.
  • Enact tuition free higher education and student loan relief. Education is a human right.
  • End the incarceration epidemic which is unjust and racist. This begins with a moratorium on the building of new prisons and ending the school-to-prison pipeline.
  • Save the Earth’s climate by transitioning to Green, renewable energy, divesting of fossil fuels and banning fracking and nuclear power; and, prohibiting the building of any new fossil fuel infrastructure, saying “no” to both the Algonquin and TNG fracked-gas pipelines.
  • End indiscriminate spying in our towns and restore civil liberties.
  • Guarantee all of our rights, including the cherished right to vote -- regardless of a person’s color, language, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, nationality, physical or mental disability, and whether their status is documented or undocumented, and whether they are imprisoned, on parole, or free.
