  Thornton Calls Ending Violence in Cities, ATop Priority, While Rell and DeStephano Only Skirt the Issue


Hartford,CT-Cliff Thornton, Green Party Candidate for Governor, issued a statement saying the violence and shootings in the cities as a top priority and questioned Gov. Rell and New Haven Mayor John DeStephano commitment ending the issue. He challenged them to debate the issue as a sole topic in a debate and let the people decide who has better ideas on ending the violence.

"Both of the other candidates have shown time and again their ideas will not end the killings and have really increased the prices of drugs on the street." Thornton said.

He added "New Haven has had a terrible summer with violence and I challenge the Mayor to meet me and discuss the problems in debates while Rell is ducking the issue and has not offered any NEW ideas."

Thornton, a world wide speaker on the drug war said "I have called for ending the drug war and helping people with drug problems by increasing treatment options, and they have argued about more cops and state police as a temporary solution to a permanent problem."

"When we debate, I will offer the only brave and honest answer to the problems and I think that is what they are both afraid of addressing!" Thornton concluded
