Political goals:
6,5 million people in Germany are poor. At the same time we are wasting every year about 25 billion Euro for arms. The arms program of the federal government is quite ambitious: 113 billion Euros are slated to be spent for 180 Eurofighters, 60 military airbusses, 219 transport helicopters, 3 frigates, 15 corvettes etc. during the next 15 years. I think social rights of all groups of our population are of higher priority than profit interests of the arms industry.

For a change in politics!
I demand:
- honest, friendly and helpful treatment for all refugees and foreigners
- raising social spending to the level of military spending (hospitals and new work places in the field of social services are more important than Eurofighters)
- a top tax rate increase from the present 42% to 53% (like under Helmut Kohl).
- the same social rights for all population groups
- an ecologically responsible and peaceful world
- an end to nuclear power
- the German army should be prohibited to leave Germany
- universal human rights.

I fight against:
- German troops in other countries
- Multi billion Euro presents for the arms industry (20 billion for the Eurofighter, 113 billion Euro for the new arms program)
- using human rights violations as a pretext for going to war (Yugoslavia 1999, Afghanistan 2001, Irak 2003).
