In campaigning back in 2001, Jan adamantly opposed
the United States becoming embroiled in a war in Iraq.
She continues to oppose ill-advised military ventures.
-
Even back then, Jan identified the decline of the middle
class as the primary socio-political issue of our times.
-
For longer than that, Jan has advocated for a single-payer national health
insurance system (with healthcare delivery systems remaining privately controlled).
-
Jan supports bans on assault weapons and high capacity magazines
and also supports universal background checks and closing the gun-show loophole.
-
Jan has forcefully opposed converting Medicare into a
voucher system and likewise opposed privatizing Social
Security or the Veterans Affairs Health Care System.
-
For all of her adult life, Jan has been a strong advocate for women’s rights
(including reproductive rights and economic parity), for environmental
protection and for constitutional equality.
