There are at least 9 candidates who are running for the Democratic nomination to be Wisconsin’s next Governor. However only one would guarantee a political revolution if elected.
Can we even imagine a new type of politics? Mike McCabe can. He has spent his career documenting how political donations distort our democracy. He has been imagining a government that is free from political donors his whole adult life.
Can we imagine a new type of politics where laws are made to help the common citizen instead of the political donors? Can we imagine a new type of politics that give both rural and urban citizens the chance to succeed? Can we imagine a new type of politics that unites instead of divides us?
When you listen to Mike McCabe talk about his vision for Wisconsin, you hear what a rational state government could do to help every Wisconsin citizen. You hear about how political decisions would be made if donor money did not predict political outcomes. Public policy would instead be made with a fair and rational debate of ideas.
He is the first politician I know of to guarantee that he cannot be bought, as he will only accept a maximum of five $200 donations ($1000 total) from anyone or any organization. It will take a political revolution for him to win. But if he wins, I guarantee that Wisconsin would suddenly become a national leader of “clean” politics again. More importantly, the control of the state government would instantly return to the voters.
He supports a strong public education system for both rural and urban school districts (in part by eliminating vouchers). He supports conserving our environment for future generations and policies to encourage renewable energy. He supports a living wage and geyser economics where we can all prosper. He supports the legalization of marijuana and emptying our prisons of inmates that are non-violent marijuana possession offenders. All of his issue statements are on his web site. Policy statements for every issue is based on the notion that public policy should help the citizens of our state, not the political donors.
Mike McCabe does not talk about Republicans and Democrats as he sees all of us as citizens who deserve a voice in our government. He talks about Gov. Walker’s harmful policies, but holds no ill will toward the man. (For this he is a better person than I).
Mike McCabe can unite Wisconsin. He is a revolutionary leader who believes that we can return the power of government back to the voters and this will lead to prosperity for all.
