Green Party mayoral candidate Mary DeCamp talks about tackling local issues.
Green Party member Mary DeCamp would be the first third-party candidate, and the first woman, to serve as Tucson's mayor if she's elected to the seat next month.
DeCamp is running against a Republican and a Democrat, and says she would work well with the city council members from both parties. In what she says is an example of her willingness to put party politics aside, she hired her opponent Dave Croteau as her campaign manager after she beat him in their primary race.
In the interview below, DeCamp discusses the impending foreclosure of her home, plus her campaign's finances and her plans for the city.
WAKE UP AMERICA.... WE MUST.....WAKE UP OR THE FUTURE WILL NOT BE VERY ROSY THIS CENTURY.....!!!!!!
Or else we will loose everything we built up after WWII....
Are we really afraid of being protectionists....or should we STOP IMPORTS....or slow it down a lot so our decimated industries can get back in the game and compete against Asia and other foreign countries........
After 45 years of offering Exports to Asia it is no wonder we have no jobs at home in America......plus our richest companies now are Importers but do not have jobs for Americans at home...as we have finally hit the Wall...finally...I am not surprised as everything now is going up in price...it is called inflation for sure....that will be the final blow to America....
How about picketing all the US Malls who carry 95% of Imports like in my 2 industries....Manufacturers who are hanging on still and who are still in business but have been decimated or many others have gone out of business for the last 45 years because they could not compete with Foreign countries or American Importers either...........so "America" .... and at any store that sells Imports...Picket them...they will eventually get the message and sell American products eventually .......and say in your picket signs that WE WILL NOT BUY IMPORTS ANYMORE...and...SELL ONLY MADE IN THE USA PRODUCTS....those IMPORTS benefits all the Special Interest Folks who eliminated our Manufacturing bases over the last 45 years...with the help of our Government and with campaign financing which they offered to legislators to pass just the right bills for them in exchange........I have seen it happen with my own eyes....IMPORTS are our long lost jobs mostly transferred in Asia.....picketing with signs will raise the ears of those Buyers who put Imports in our Retail Stores and who sell them willingly to naive consumers......consumers who have zero ideas that they are eliminating American Jobs....so.....!!!!!!
Many of us are already Liberals....but Liberals & Conservatives and folks in the middle have all created this economic problem over the last 45 years........and it has not helped in this century or the last one to have 2 parties that can't work together in Washington or in our 50 States.........as they don't have common senses on how to fix America....how many times more am I going to vote out legislators and replace them with another while the problems get worse after I voted.......!!!!!
What do we have to be and do to overcome our present situation....???? START OVER...!!!
home....!!!!
And is becoming protectionist necessary.....!!! YES
And so on....and on.....and on.....!!!!
