Chris Lugo for Senate

Vote for Peace in 2006

Chris Lugo is the official Green Party of Tennessee candidate for United States Senate. He is running as a peace candidate to end the war in Iraq and has an eighteen point campaign platform that can be viewed at his website www.chris4senate.com

The text below from his campaign website explains his reasons for running for Senate:

"Greetings. My name is Chris Lugo and I want to be your Senator. I am the only candidate running for United States Senate from Tennessee who stands for peace. I want an end to this illegal, immoral and unjust war in Iraq that has claimed the lives of over two thousand Americans and has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars.

President Bush had no business sending troops into Iraq. He lied to Americans about weapons of mass destruction and now he is busy spying on Americans. He has violated the United States Consititution and he and the right wing extremists who have put him in office need to go.

Tennessee needs a progressive voice representing her at the federal level. Tennesseans care about health care, they care about jobs, they care about a sustainable environment. Tennesseans want to live in a state and in a nation whose future is secure and prosperous.

I am the only candidate running for Senate in Tennessee who stands for the progressive ideals that have made this country great. I am truly interested in the needs of the poor, the elderly, women and chldren, working people, immigrants, gays and lesbians, and the environment. I am the only candidate who stands for peace. I have a long history of service to my community and working for a better Tennessee.

I thank you for reading my website and hope you will consider me as your next United States Senator.

Sincerely,

Chris Lugo, Green Party of Tennessee Candidate for US Senate 2006"
