If You Think Politics-As-Usual is a Joke...

...Then support former stand-up comic Randy Credico.

It isn't often that somebody running for office shows up with a platform that looks like my own "To Do" list.
But Credico is a good guy from way back. His platform includes:

• Immediate pull out of Afghanistan
• Immediate pull out of Iraq
• Immediate pull out of Colombia
• End Drug War at home and abroad
• Repeal Patriot Act
• Legalization of Marijuana
• Abolish Mandatory Minimum Sentencing
• Repeal 1996 Omnibus Crime Bill
• Constitutional amendment abolishing death penalty
• Ban on racial profiling
• Promotion of jury nullification
• National ban on private prison
• Decriminalization of all drugs
• Ban on torture and rendition
• Law prohibiting federal prosecutors from becoming judges
• Clemency for all immigrants
• Closing of ICE units
• Stiff penalties for prosecutors who suborn perjury
• Repeal Gatt and Nafta
• US return of Guantanamo to Cuba
• Full lifting of Cuba Embargo
• Clemency for political prisoners and all prisoners convicted for nonviolent drug offense

Credico's running against the incumbent pro-war, pro-Israel, pro-corporation Chuck Schumer.

Even if you don't live in New York, remember that those "state" senators are making national decisions that effect you, and everything and everyone you love, every day.
If there's a peaceful political solution to the mess we're in, it's in making sure guys like Credico get into office.

Don't whimper.

Bite.
