Dickson Represents The Green Party In North Georgia
Kerrie Dickson is the
Green Party's candidate for State Representative in District #8, which encompasses
Union, Towns, Rabun and part of White Counties. A long-time legislative
activist and Georgia Green Party co-chair, Dickson does not equivocate when
asked about her goals. "I'll go to work on the issues my neighbors consider
important," said Dickson. "We're fortunate to live in a pristine setting
relatively free of corporate pollution. I already work with my community
to preserve these mountains and to develop in a sane, ecologically conscience
way our community's greatest economic assets - our skills, time and energy
and the beauty we share which attracts the tourists who visit us here. But
I'm Green. I know that while we need secure jobs paying livable wages, we
can have so much more than just full employment. With a sustainable economic
base, we can all know joyful and fulfilling lives both on and off the job."
Dickson Lists Her Issues
When asked about the issues she feels most strongly about, Dickson listed the following:
Clean Air, Water, Food and Politics
Non-Violent Juvenile Offender Sentencing Reform
Universal Access to Health Care
Livable Wages and the Right to Organize on the Job
Dickson Asks For Your Input
In closing, Dickson
said, "Please write to me at foxfire@whitelion.net or call me at 706-896-7464.
Because I'm an activist, not a politician, I will listen. Let me know what
you want from your government."
