Gary Swing For Congress From Colorado
Peace and Justice – those are the main themes of the congressional campaign of Gary Swing. When Swing speaks of peace, he means it. Swing supports the legal prohibition of war. He seeks the abolition of weapons of mass destruction – including the massive arsenal of nuclear weapons held by the United States. He advocates the removal of American soldiers from all foreign nations, and their reassignment to purely defensive positions within U.S. borders.
Swing also advocates the radical political reorganization of the American political system. He suggests: “Eliminate presidential elections, which are meaningless shams, and decentralize political authority. Switch to a parliamentary system with a weak chief executive selected by Congress.”
Abolishing the Presidency is not enough for Swing. He also wants to close down the U.S. Senate, and “elect the U.S. House of Representatives by the proportional representation voting method used to elect Australia’s Senate. Voters could either cast a simple vote for their favorite party or rank individual candidates in their order of preference.”
Swing is campaigning to represent the first congressional district in Colorado. That district is currently represented by Democrat Diana DeGette.
Thanks for the plug, but you got the details mixed up from two parallel projects. To clear up the confusion:
I will be on the February 28 Arizona Green Party Presidential Preference Election ballot. This is part of a “political reality competition” called Project White House, sponsored by the Tucson Weekly alternative newspaper. I am NOT running for Congress in Arizona. I live in Denver, Colorado.
However, I will be seeking the Colorado Green Party’s nomination for the November, 2012 general election as a candidate for US Representative, District 1 (Denver and Arapahoe Counties). I ran for this office in 2010 as well.
My platform for the two efforts in the same. I have a website at http://www.newmenu.org/swingvoter which applies to both projects.
Thanks, sorry for the glitch, and we’re happy to make the corrections.
