Candidate for
United States Representative; District 1

• Green Party of Humboldt County:

She presents a platform of shifting the tax burden to financial speculation, ending tax loopholes for corporations, reforming research and development spending priorities, legalizing marijuana and ending U.S. military occupations throughout Eurasia.

Her opponent, incumbent Mike Thompson, masquerades as a liberal Democrat. A glance at his record demonstrates that this does not stand up to scrutiny. He is a member of the "Blue Dog Coalition" of conservative Democrats, not the Progressive Caucus. He is consistent in his support of continued U.S. membership in organizations such as NAFTA, the WTO and the new FTAA which seek to weaken domestic laws protecting workers and the environment. His leadership of the Congressional Wine Caucus betrays his complete subservience throughout his career to rich agribusiness interests.

Thompson is personally responsible for the re-legalization of Methyl Bromide while in the State Senate. This toxic biocide that poisons groundwater, kills farmworkers and destroys the ozone layer has received Thompson's continuing support in Congress.

We need a Congresswoman to represent the people, not a Congressman who represents the pesticides. Vote Pam Elizondo for U.S. Congress."

• Green California - The Environmental Magazine of the Golden State:

Elizondo offers a five-pronged program in her campaign for Congress: A one-cent tax to put toward human needs; the U.S. should buy necessary resources through the free market, rather than stealing them (which, of course, means getting out of Iraq); tax dollars should go to a grant program to create full employment; tax breaks for businesses benefitting people and restoring the planet; and legalizing and taxing hemp and marijuana as an alternative to current sources of paper, food fossil fuel, etc.

Fortunately, the 1st District voters have these alternatives to vote for in Elizondo's campaign.

Green California endorses Pamela Elizondo in the U.S. House of Representative's 1st District."
