Happy Monday to you all. Next endorsement: the race for Michigan Senate. The race is between Terri Lynn Land, Gary Peters, and Libertarian Jim Fulner. Who should have the job? Terri Lynn Land's campaign site has no real set of issue positions. And on health reform, she has no problem with repealing it, thereby screwing poor, elderly, the sick. The only part she'd keep is covering preexisiting conditions. All the problems she states, she overstates, whether its keeping your plan or peoples work hours dropping. Both are explainable, in innocent ways. Instead, she believes in health savings accounts, which are great if you have lots of money.
Next is Jim Fulner, who stands against taxation, instead believeing the government is to be funded by private loans. But what happens if the loan holders miss payments? Less money, and more problems. And by towing the party line on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, (Libertarians believe these shouldn't exist.), he disqulifies himself in my view.
Which brings us to Gary Peters. Mr. Peters is running against Paul Ryan's Medicare vouchers, running against privitizing Social Security. He is pro choice, as well as equal pay for women. His site mentions his belief in cutting spending, as well as enacting thr Buffet Rule, which means the wealthy pay their fair share and we can start getting our financial house in order. He has also been for the Employment Non Discrimination Act, which makes it illegal to fire people just because they are gay. Another area where he's taking a moderate stance is on energy, choosing a policy that relies on oil and green energies. He is a supporter of Elizabeth Warren's plan to lower student loan rates to .75%, and most importantly is for fixing instead of repealing the Affordable Care Act.
For those reasons, Gary Peters is the choice for Senate. http://www.petersformichigan.com/landing/e140207/?subsource=splash and https://support.petersformichigan.com/donate/page/
