As
a native Nutmegger, who was born and raised in Norwalk, and a former
professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law for twenty-two
years, I wholeheartedly endorse Cliff Thornton's candidacy for Governor
of the State of Connecticut on the Green Party slate.

I
commend Cliff Thornton’s efforts to focus Connecticut’s attention on
the need to examine our current drug policies. The major political
parties appear to shy away from discussing a more compassionate
approach involving treating drug addiction as much a medical problem as
a criminal problem, for fear of appearing "soft on crime." It is time
for someone to say the emperor has no clothes: THE DRUG WAR IS
ENORMOUSLY EXPENSIVE AND IT HAS NOT REDUCED DRUG ABUSE OR ADDICTION.
What it has done is increase our prison population to a frightening
degree. Our prisons are not rehabilitation facilities - they produce
more hardened criminals.
I believe Cliff Thornton realizes his Green Party candidacy for
Governor is not likely to result in his being elected as our chief
executive officer. His candidacy is, however, providing a vital
function, by making people think about where our current drug policies
are taking us.

As
a 34-year law enforcement veteran and former chief of the Seattle
Police Department, I'm honored to endorse Cliff Thornton's candidacy
for governor of Connecticut. When Cliff speaks, I listen--carefully.
His is a voice of reason and compassion, of practical experience,
insight, and expertise. Want a solution to the "drug problem"? Want to
improve public safety, safeguard civil liberties, create healthy
communities, ensure social justice? Listen to this man, and vote for
him.
