This year the voters of Portland have the opportunity to elect a new kind of municipal government that honestly represents the needs of the entire community, not just the elite!
It is our government’s responsibility to protect and care for its people to the best of its ability, while also protecting the earth and its ecosystems. Securing the well-being of ecosystems in which we live is the foundation for true safety, a balanced economy, and integral education. Adequate access to healthy food, pure water and air, shelter and warmth is the base threshold for sustaining life.
If you want:
- lower water bills, and Bull Run kept public
- concrete solutions to unemployment rates and school funding
- more community policing, and police accountability
- to put the “eco” back in “economy”
- equal funding for the arts, as are allotted for sports
- access to healthy & local foods in all neighborhoods and schools
- cooperation over competition
- to help protect our air, water, food, and soil from avarice and greed
- campaign finance reform, instant run-off voting, and voter owned elections
- to preserve our forests, parks, and recreational areas
If you agree that:
- Universal health care is an inalienable right
- Gay marriages deserve the same rights as strait ones
Then let us look globally and act locally to create an exemplary model of how our government led “by the people”, not the corporations, can achieve a thriving community, one that benefits all beings while giving our children an exciting future in which to engage. Vote Tre Arrow for Portland’s community mayor in 2012!
Thank you,
Namaste,
Tre
