This November brings so much to Santa Monica. We’re getting ready for the holidays, bringing out our warmer clothes and electing a new senator. Currently, we have Sen. Feinstein from the Democratic Party. I almost always support the Democratic Party, but these last three terms, our Democratic representative has been at a low. For 14 years, Sen. Feinstein has been making crucial decisions with poor judgments. She has supported President Bush all the way through with sending troops to Iraq and is continuing to do so. This is just one of the few wrongs she has supported. It’s time for America to look outside of the box and vote for Todd Chretien from the Green Party.
Todd Chretien is a 36-year-old married writer with a 3-year-old child. He is very passionate about what he believes and truly wants to help California and eventually the world. He was a leading man in helping Ralph Nader in the last presidential elections. If elected, Chretien has promised to make the right decisions such as pulling troops out of Iraq, supporting gay marriage, and abortion rights, building more schools and raising taxes on the richest.
Todd is a great candidate for the Green Party and would be a great senator. He has good intentions and is going to help California for the better.
