[Peace-discuss] [sf-core] Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort

[C. G. Estabrook]

No, he isn't. On the contrary, he's the only major party candidate who  
opposes the most racist policy of the federal government, the War on  
Drugs.

That policy gives the U.S the largest prison population in the world -  
overwhelmingly disproportionately non-white.

All other major party candidates - including Obama - support the  
racist WOD. Ron Paul opposes it.

Unlike Romney and Obama, Ron Paul joins some 3rd-party candidates  
(Green, Justice, etc.) in actually supporting anti-war and anti-racist  
policies.

One obviously should not vote for candidates who support war and  
racism.  --CGE
