| Introduction | I am a former VA psychiatrist who resigned to run for the US Senate in 2010 on a pledge to introduce a Constitutional amendment to abolish corporate personhood and reform campaign finance. I have a BS from Portland State University in Biology and Psychology. I worked in a county mental health agency after serving in the Army and trained in Albany, NY and Albuquerque, NM. I am the former President of the educational nonprofit Take Back America for the People and am the founder of Soldiers For Peace International, an anarchical global network of justice advocates whose mission is to create a united international front against fascism and war by helping create a Tectonic Paradigm Shift in human consciousness to one in which it is implicitly recognized that the fate of each of us is intimately related to the destiny of all of us. |
