		Democratize the Grid - put it on our rooftops Current policy for development of renewable energy sources highly favors national and multi-national corporations who use large and complex government provided tax credits to built large isolated renewable energy complexes. This method of development largely excludes small business and residential projects which are close to the source of use. We advocate for Renewable Energy Payments(Feed In Tariffs)to move us toward locally based low capital renewable energy development. More and More Listen to Judy Barnes, who heads up our efforts for an effective Feed-in Tariff in Oregon, explain the program. This video was filmed a couple weeks in advance of the Oregon Public Utility Commission's release of rules governing the Oregon program, the first statewide program in the United States. Visit the Oregonian's for Renewable Energy Policy website for more details on the Oregon program. Update (10-1-11): OREP and Sierra Club jointly wrote a letter to the Governor detailing the benefits of a Feed-In Tariff program. As a result, OREP has been invited to meet with two members of the Governor's staff. Read the letter here.

		Instant Run-off Voting - no more spoilers America's two party system disenfranchises American voters by forcing them to choose the lesser of two evils all too often. Instant Run-off Voting allows voters to cast their vote to their favorite candidate and to also mark a second choice in the first does not get a majority of the votes. No more spoiler candidates; just honest elections. More or visit our allies: Fair Vote, IRV Oregon

		Single Payer Health Care - insurance companies should not decide how health care is delivered in America The Alliance for Democracy believes that the health crisis in America will not be solved until the insurance industry is replaced with a human centered program which excludes the selling of insurance in order to provide healthcare to all people in the United States. We believe that equal health care for all is a human right.
