meeting?<br><br>DR: The budget.  It's not necessarily fascinating but 
passing a budget has to be done.  We've been meeting with residents to try 
and figure out what people really want.  I'm working with staff to look at 
sustainability issues.  We have people scouring the streets</font></font></font></div><div><font color="#003300" face="Arial"><font color="#003300" face="Arial" size="2"><font size="3"> of Takoma Park 
looking for ways to save energy.  <br><br>GL: What made you decide to run 
for City Council?<br><br>DR: I'd done a lot things - served on committees, local 
activism, worked with Takoma Park businesspeople.  I got to know a lot of 
people.  I wanted to find a way to hear all sides on important issues, not 
just my own side.  <br><br>GL: What do you do professionally and how did it 
help you run for </font></font><font color="#003300"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><font size="3">office?<br><br>DR: I followed an entrepreneurial path. I've been a 
computer programmer and business manager for many years.  I sold my 
computer programming business to my employees and built a small office 
building.  It's definitely a green building - it's as low-impact as I could 
make it.  I was exposed to the realities of government while organizing the 
<br>construction of the building.  I had to work through probably 25 
different bureaucracies.  <br><br>GL: Tell us a little bit about your 
campaign.<br><br>DR: I had a lot of help from Greens, friends, and 
acquaintances.  My ward is small - only about 3,000 people - and I was able 
to knock on every door.  I held a number of coffees and meetings a few 
times a week.  Raising about $2,000 was enough to send a mailing to every 
household and post yard signs.  <br><br>Two years ago, Takoma Park 
initiated Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) for city elections.  Unfortunately, 
none of the races in November had more than two candidates.  I thought 
about recruiting another candidate just so we could see IRV in 
action.        <br><br>GL: What has the 
hardest part of the experience been?<br><br>DR: People put a lot of expectations 
on you - some people project their own frustrations onto you.  You have to 
be realistic about responding to that.  With city matters on my mind all 
the time, sometimes my work suffers.  My city council salary is $10,000 for 
what is basically a half-time position.  Some people believe that City 
Council members ought to be willing to work for free.  In some ways I 
agree, but for people who have to make a living that would be hard.  If 
they had to do it for free, only wealthy people could afford to hold 
office.  That's not the Green 
way.         <br><br>Q: What advice do 
you have for Greens thinking of running for office? <br><br>DR:  Get 
involved with community affairs.  It need to be done - just do it.  
Find a way to serve on committees as a volunteer, start something new in town, 
and get to know as many people as you can.  Push for change however you 
can.  Examine the budget.  Try to understand people's motivations 
for why they ask for things.  People come to the council all the time with 
problems they are dealing with.  We try to point that person toward the 
appropriate staff member to get things resolved.  The question we ask is 
"What can we do as a staff to make this person's life a little 
easier?"</font></span></font></font></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><font color="#003300" face="Arial"> </font></div>

<p><font color="#003300" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">There are 4 chapters to the Platform. One of the Platform
Committee's aims was to produce a tight Platform that candidates can
use as a handy reference, distribute at campaigns and give to other
Greens. Also, when Greens go to events, forums, protests, etc. they can
use the Platform to recruit new Greens. </font></p>
  

 

<p><font color="#003300" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">Some suggested new additions to Platform 2008 are 1) Labor - Greens
support the EFCA (Employees Free Choice Act) bill - passing through the
Congress; 2) Foreign Affairs. - Military. See under Nuclear Weapons:
Greens strongly oppose research and development of the US RRW (Reliable
Replacement Warhead). In reality the RRW is a new nuclear weapon and
not in compliance with NPT; 3) Energy - (see in column 2 under Chapter
III) an upgraded as well as updated Energy plank; 4) Population - first
time we have had a plank on population other than Women's Right to
Choose. Some of the changes have already proven to be controversial so
please check on the platform amendments to make sure you and your State
can support the revisions.</font></p>
