This information is from Shoshana; kanekucinich@sbcglobal.net on the 14th Illinois Congressional District challenger to Dennis Hastert, Mr. Rueben Zamora:
Dear concerned U.S. Citizen,
I am writing to you about one of the most important races besides the Presidential race, the District 14 race in Illinois. Ruben Zamora, a man of the people, has taken up the challenge of running against Dennis Hastert, the Speaker of the House, and a Republican incumbent. Dennis Hastert agrees with the current administration on almost every single issue. This is dangerous in this day and age, since the constitutional checks and balances are not being respected or honored. Ruben Zamora, by contrast, is a progressive Democrat with wonderful values and ideas for helping the people of the United States.
Although Ruben Zamora may not be an experienced career politician, he has a great curious intellect and a big desire to help and support human kind. He is a candidate that is constantly thinking about the future of our world, and how we may leave it for the next generation. Ruben Zamora wants to work on the issues that matter most to the majority of Americans. He is a thoughtful and passionate individual, along the same lines as Burak Obama. Below is his statement, which you can find on his website.
******************************************
I am not a politician, and this is not my race for Congress. This campaign is for the citizens of the 14th District of Illinois. We need to reclaim our democracy and our nation from corporate interests and those who uphold those interests. We need representatives who will stand up for our rights and the issues that affect us in our daily lives. My opponent is no longer in touch with the needs of our community. I am willing to listen to you, and want to work with you to ensure a better life for every man, woman, and child I represent.
Every individual has the right...
To safety at home, in the community and in the world.
To free speech and assembly
To civil liberties, including the rights of trial by jury, effective counsel, and due process of law.
To privacy, including protection from unwanted invasion or surveillance and unreasonable search and seizure.
To vote and have his or her vote count.
To equal opportunity and protection, with an end to discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, physical or developmental ability or sexual orientation.
To economic justice, including decent and safe work that pays a living wage and the right to organize for better working standards.
To security in retirement, including guaranteed, inflation-proof Social Security.
To affordable and comprehensive health care.
To an affordable quality education at any age.
To a clean and healthy environment where pollution is no longer a threat.
To full reproductive privacy.
To a foreign and military agenda that is responsible, achieves goals that are shared by our global allies, and promotes international cooperation.
To a government that promotes freedom, democracy, justice, and peace in domestic and world affairs.
