GEORGE W. ALEXANDER believes:
"Judges must be in the foremront of re-

system. A court must not be used for
political protection of the establishment.
Judges should not protect lawyers from

WEAVER, who is employed
as Mayor James Stephenson's
administrative secretary, has
stressed women's issues in her
campaign. She says that mar-
riage and divorce laws must be
overhauled because they are
currently inequitable.
Giving vigorous backing to
the Equal Rights Amendment,
Weaver charges that Bullard
and the other legislators-in-
cluding the seven women now
serving in Lansing - have
"dragged their feet" on these
matters.

HE ALSO urges decriminaliza-

On many issues, Bullard takes
stands similar to those of HRP
in supporting economic reform
based upon graduated income
tax and guaranteed income.
Bullard, who received his law
degree from the University, also
advocates decriminalization and
a redefinition of personal free-
doms: "the government cannot
dictate what individuals do with
|their leisure time, controlled
substances and sexual activity."
