BROWN for PRESIDENT
Washington, DC
Vote for Brown
May 5, 1992
District Statehood
• Balanced seven consecutive California budgets.
• Created 2.2 million new jobs in California, one of every four jobs in the U.S.
• Doubled California's exports.
• "Jerry Brown has done more for the working men and women than any Governor in California's history." -AFL-CIO
chart: Projected Change in Number of Jobs

Projected jobs created by each presidential candidate.
Education
• Doubled general college funding and tripled the kindergarten to high school budget.
• Toughened high school graduation standards.
• "The purpose of education is not to produce a new generation of robots ... Education should be broadly based in literature, art, music, and science." -J. BROWN
Environment/Energy
As governor, led the nation in creating and enforcing clean-air laws, enacting legislation to curb toxic wastes, and promoting environmental awareness. Favors clean renewable alternate energy sources; i.e. wind, solar, cogeneration, geothermal. Proposes an American Conservation Corps, similar to an "environmental Peace Corps."
Family Issues
At the heart of my campaign is a Family Bill of Rights with this commitment: Every person has the right to a living wage. Every person has the right to health care. Every person has the right to shelter. Every person has the right to an education. Every person has the right to be free from economic insecurity in their old age. That's my commitment — and if you join it, it will be our commitment. And it will be done." -J. BROWN
Gay /Lesbian Rights
• As governor, repealed criminal penalties from private sexual acts between consenting adults.
• Signed executive order banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
• Favors passage of the "Gay Rights" bill.
Health Care
Governor Brown favors a single payer, Federally funded system, a national health insurance program with universal access, for all Americans. Such a system has proved extremely successful in Canada, where approximately five hundred dollars less per capita is spent on health care than here in the United States.
Homeless
Recognizes that homelessness is a complex problem one that can only be dealt with by addressing all the individual issues: available housing and jobs, alcohol and drug dependency, and mental health care.
Minority Issues
Governor Brown significantly increased the role of minorities in California's state government. He appointed 435 African-Americans, 549 Hispanics, 287 Asian-Americans, and 46 Native Americans to government positions. He also appointed the first Hispanic and AfricanAmerican state Supreme Court justices.
Senior Citizens
Governor Brown created Multipurpose Senior Service Project pilot programs to provide information on care and resources to allow people to stay at home rather than be placed in institutions. He also banned mandatory retirement for public and private employees.
Taxes
• Reduced taxes, moving California from the state with the 4th highest tax rates to the one with the 23rd highest.
• Favors a fair, simple flat true rate to eliminate true loopholes and boost the economy.
• "The tax code is a veritable feast of fund-raising, corruption, lobbying, and activities — a money-maker for the people ... in Congress." -J. BROWN
Women's Rights
• Increased child care funding by 1,000%.
• Named women to nearly one third of appointed posts.
• On abortion, '"I support the right of a woman to make this decision totally free from any pressure or inducement from the federal government. " -J. BROWN
Jerry Brown's Qualifications
Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr., the son of former California governor Edmund G. Brown, was born on April 7, 1938. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1961 and graduated from Yale Law School in 1964.
In 1970 he was elected Secretary of State of California. As Secretary of State, Brown tightened campaign disclosure laws, authored a ballot measure that limited that amount lobbyists could spend entertaining politicians, and established a Fair Political Practices Commission.
Brown was elected to two terms as Governor of California, serving from 1974 to 1982. As governor, he emphasized environmental protection, innovative technology development, and educational reform. During his tenure, California became the world leader in developing solar, wind and cogeneration technologies.
He dramatically expanded the role of women and minorities in state government and created the highly successful California Conservation Corps, which has trained and provided jobs for 50,000 young men and women. Brown expanded the role of the state government, yet reduced taxes and vetoed billions of dollars of proposed spending. For eight years of Brown's time as governor, the state budget was balanced!
Brown has traveled widely in Mexico and Asia. He lived and studied six months in Japan and visited political leaders in China and the Soviet Union. In India, he worked as a volunteer with Mother Teresa at the Home for the Dying and Destitute.
