Additional comment from candidate:
Climate change is the number one immediate problem which must be addressed! If we don't convert to a renewable energy system immediately, man's ability to live on this earth will more and more difficult until it becomes impossible. All other issues pale in comparison. We have to end the endless war overseas which benefits no one but arms manufactures and dealers and murders countless innocent civilians. We need to convert our bloated military budget into infrastructure rebuilding and programs which serve our citizens in a good and productive way.
