Republican Party (Platform)
Republicans are proud of the leadership provided to our country by both Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George W. Bush.
The Republican Party supports:
Personal responsibility. It is the role of government's to secure every person's
natural right to pursue the benefits of society for themselves and their families.
Free enterprise. Commerce unimpeded by burdensome regulations is the key to
prosperity and economic growth. Excessive taxation and regulations result in
the destruction of our state's business climate and the exodus of jobs from
California.
Cutting of government spending and waste. Runaways government spending needs
to be reigned in before it bankrupts our state. California spends almost twice
as much as it did three decades ago and has nothing to show for it. Only the
people must decide when taxes need to be increased.
School Accountability. Student progress should be monitored through testing
with results and reports provided to parents to ensure accountability.
Firm immigration policies. Federal immigration law should be followed to decrease
gang violence, human and drug trafficking. Securing our borders is vital to
securing the safety of our citizens.
Join us in building a better America and better California.

Democratic Party (Platform)
The United States Government, especially a President, has two major responsibilities…..the Economy and National Security.
Only a new Democratic President will make our country stronger in both areas.
Democrats have:
Supported teachers and improved public education resulting in higher test
scores
Passed tough laws to keep assault weapons and Saturday Night Specials out of
our neighborhoods and schools
Passed HMO reform that gives health care decisions to patients and their doctors
Led efforts to protect taxpayers and our pension funds from fraudulent corporate
crooks
We need to re-elect Senator Barbara Boxer and support our Congressional and State Legislative candidates so they can keep on fighting to:
Protect a woman’s right to choose
Reduce violent crimes in our neighborhoods and schools
Protect Social Security and Medicare and add prescription drug coverage
Help small businesses and pass balanced budgets
Protect our environment
End hate crimes
Democrats and Independents should contact us to build a greater California. We are the only party to invite Independents to vote in our Presidential primary.

domestic needs;

The Green Party represents working families and the otherwise forgotten middle-class. We want independent politics and responsible government that honors constitutional rights and civil liberties.
The dying two-party system serves only the wealthy corporations, trading favors for huge campaign contributions. It no longer represents small business owners, workers, and the poor, elderly and disenfranchised.
The Green Party is the fastest growing political party. Voters know it’s time for change.
We’re rebuilding the way government operates; we’re not for sale.
Instead of the corporate-driven system embracing consumption and nonsustainable
competition, we practice these 10 key Values:
Ecological Wisdom
Nonviolence
Grassroots Democracy
Feminism
Community-Based Economics
Personal and Global Responsibility
Social Justice
Respect for Diversity
Decentralization
Sustainability
Increasingly, voters elect Greens on citywide, county and state levels, with over 180 officeholders nationwide. Greens also work between elections on community issues. This activism is fundamental to our grassroots values. We walk our talk.
We advocate universal health care, alternative energy, election reform, living wages and sustainable business practices. We’re working to restore the quality of our everyday lives and communities.

The Libertarian Party is as American as apple pie.
Like you, we have jobs, businesses, families and dreams.
We’ve entered the political arena to restore liberty and American values. We’re working toward a government that taxes and spends less, and won’t interfere with your personal life.
If you describe yourself as socially tolerant and fiscally responsible, you’re a Libertarian!
We believe you-not the government-should decide how to run your life, checkbook, retirement, education and family.
The Libertarian Party supports your right to:
keep what you earn. Reduce or eliminate taxes whenever possible.
run your own business and enjoy your property. Reducing regulations and paperwork
creates more jobs, higher pay, and lower prices.
Educate your children as you see fit.
Choose your own lifestyle. The government shouldn’t consider you a criminal
because of your choices in relationships, recreation or medical treatment.
Truly equal treatment under the law regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality,
or personal characteristics.
own a firearm. Self-defense is a right, not a political favor.
With over 60 elected Libertarians in California and over 525 officeholders countrywide, we’re a real and growing choice.

Capitalism uses our labor and natural resources to create profit for a few. It causes war, environmental destruction, poverty, and inequality.
We working-class people need our own party. We can’t expect parties controlled by corporations and the rich to act in our interests.
If we work together, we can change to system. We can create a socialist society in which we democratically and cooperatively use nature’s resources, our labor and our social wealth for the common good.
