Herb Herbert J. Hoffman
I certainly support the creation of a Department of Peace at both the State and National levels. As a candidate for U. S. Senate and as a citizen, I advocate that we all must join in moving our Nation from one which has a long history of aggression to one that is characterized by diplomacy, positive relationships and truly peaceful approaches which respect the dignity of all peoples. To these ends I believe Departments of Peace can begin the movement to modify our national character.
Peace,
Herb Herbert J. Hoffman

Thomas John Ledue
I want to become your next Senator first and foremost because I see the future that we are creating for our children puts them at great risk.
  • Our country is on the wrong course and feels increasingly like a corporation focused on empire, rather than a democracy focused on the well being of those most vulnerable in our society.
  • We have become a nation at war with itself with the federal government spending $275 million dollars a day in Iraq while Maine and other states fight for scraps off the federal table and one out of four Maine children under five live in poverty.
  • We need a new kind of experience in Washington, experience rooted in the everyday lives of Mainers, experience that understands that there is no more important task than to secure a future for our children and the children of the world built upon the promise of the ideals of our nation.
  • We need leadership that is impatient with our current realities.
  • We need bold, transformative change. We and our children do not have time for the status quo.
My candidacy is aimed at these ends and is based upon four broad policy goals:
To empower our people.
To Strength our communities.
To Build a stable and sustainable economy and To Lead in partnership with the world.

These goals are intended bringing balance back into our policy discussions and direction as a people.

If we can view policy through the lens of parenthood, of what we want for our children – and all children, it becomes easy to commit to and fight for a progressive agenda that invests in creating a stable and secure future for all.

We can see the environment as stewards and caretakers.

We can see trade that protects all children, respects the rights of all workers and safeguards the environment.

…An economy rearranged to invest in our communities, especially in local agriculture for greater food security, local clean energy development for greater energy security and by adding value to local resources for greater job security.

…An education system that guarantees quality opportunities to learn from preschool through college, as we all want for our children.

…Poverty reduced by 50% in 5 years.

….Universal Healthcare that removes the bonds of fear and uncertainty from scores of millions of our fellow citizens.

…Defense that is truly defensive.

…An end to the war in Iraq that brings our troops home soon, honors the self-determination of the Iraqi people and engages the international community in peace.

…Foreign policy that seeks to sow the seeds of partnership, peace and true security throughout the international community.

And we can see a new DEPARTMENT OF PEACE that works to protect our common humanity.

In looking at policy with balance that embraces the power, wisdom, and perspective of women we can create a future that is reflective of our ideals as a nation.

It is toward these ends that I seek to lead as your senator.

I ask you to go to tomledue.com to explore my candidacy and to offer any support that you can.

In a spirit of partnership,
Tom
