Rebekah Kennedy for U.S. Senate

I was born and raised in Arkansas in the Foothills of the Ozarks near Greers Ferry Lake between Heber Springs and Conway. My parents raised me with a strong sense of right and wrong, including the fundamental wisdom that compassion, justice and integrity are the highest moral values. As your Unites States Senator, I will strive every day to put these values to work for the people of Arkansas and the United States. I have been told by a few cynics that Arkansas is "too Conservative", that as a Green I should give up on Arkansas and move to Oregon or Washington State. To me, however, that is not an option. I am an Arkansan and I want to represent my fellow Arkansans according to the values that we share. Arkansas is a beautiful state filled with strong, practical, honest, giving, hard working people. For too long this great state has suffered misgovernment and poverty which her people do not deserve. Now we are being represented in Washington by a Senator who has turned his back on the values that make America great. Mark Pryor voted for the Military Commissions Act, which replaces the American tradition of liberty, justice and the rule of law with torture and unlimited detention at the whim of the President. He continues to support the war in Iraq with his actions even while mincing his words in the vain belief that Arkansans will not see through his posturing. Send me to Washington, and I will make ending the Iraq War my top priority. I will stand up for the rights of working Arkansans; including fair taxes, fair wages and real universal health care. I will be vigilant in defense of our natural environment here in Arkansas and throughout America and the world by supporting legislation and treaties that promote good stewardship of the Earth.
