Howie Who?

October
23

In case you missed it, Hillary Clinton and John Spencer are not the only candidates for U.S. Senate.

The Green Party is also fielding a candidate in the race.

Howie Hawkins wants to stop the war in Iraq, bring the troops home now and provide health care for all. And he would use $300 billion a year of U.S. military spending to develop renewable energy across the world. He calls it a global good works project that would enhance national security by spreading good will.

A former marine, he is a member of the Teamsters union and unloads trucks and rail cars at UPS.

He didn’t get a spot in the debate at WABC television on Sunday, but he was the last person to leave the station’s studios on Columbus Avenue. He was outside with a crowd of his supporters trying to woo voters one pamphlet at a time.
