CONWAY — Different, but in a good way. That’s how Democratic presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson comes across, and though she has never held political office, her campaign is championing people over politics. She said all her life she has been a Democrat, but an American first. “I’m running with a lot of smart, good people. "In my case, particularly, I was aware there would be inevitable humiliation, mockery, mean-spiritedness and marginalization. "And what happened in 1980 and has continued essentially unabated and in some cases faster and others slower is a system in which our government has become a handmaiden to a system which (allows its) market forces to go completely untethered to any level of ethical or moral responsibility…This has not only created the largest wealth inequality, not only has it decimated America’s middle class, corrupted our government, not only taken of the people, by the people and for the people and turned it into of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.” Williams, who wants to be an "FDR-type of president', would like to see health care for all, see college loans renegotiated, see universal pre-kindergarten with more care given to children because “millions of children live in domestic war zones.” She would create a U.S. Department of Children and Youth to address these issues. Williams also wants the government to be practical and not kowtow to big business. We’re going to have 100 airplanes at $550 million each that carry nuclear bombs. We’re ordering them for a defense contractor and nuclear industry purposes. For more on Williams, go to marianne2020.com.
