Did you vote for this guy?

His 2008 platform includes:

  • Creating a single-payer system of universal health care that provides full coverage for all Americans.
  • The immediate withdrawal of all U.S. Forces from Iraq and replacing them with an international security force.
  • Guaranteed quality education for all, including free Pre-K and college for all who want it.
  • Immediate withdrawal from the WTO (World Trade Organization)and NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)
  • Repealing the USA PATRIOT Act
  • Fostering a world of international cooperation.
  • Abolishing the death penalty.
  • Environmental renewal and clean energy.
  • Preventing the privatization of social security.
  • Providing full social security benefits at age 65.
  • Creating a cabinet-level "Department of Peace"
  • Ratifying the ABM Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.
  • Introducing reforms to bring about instant-runoff voting.
  • Protecting a woman's right-to-choose while decreasing the number of abortions performed in the U.S.
  • Ending the war on drugs.
  • Legalizing same-sex marriage.
  • Creating a balance between workers and corporations.
  • Restoring rural communities and family farms.

He didn't win. But, I have a feeling that if he had won... he would still be holding strong to this commitment on these platform issues and we, the people, would be better off because of it.

Do you know who it is?
