George's Position |
1.
Economic Health
 |
-
On July 25, 2011, a “Hands Off Social Security” rally was staged at the
Social Security Complex in Woodlawn, in Baltimore County, MD. Its
purpose was to mobilize grass roots support to stop the US Congress from
cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid programs. The
demonstration was organized by the AFL-CIO, Progressive Democratic of
America and other groups.
Here is a link to their video.

Here is some still-relevant
testimony from George to Montgomery County during their 2010
election concerning the proposed Lockheed-Martin tax
exemption. George is against such corporate
favoritism. Click on the photo below to hear George's
testimony.

2.
Environment
 |
- George opposes the
proposed construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which
would crisscross the country from Canada to Texas.
- George enthusiastically
supports initiatives such as the
Montgomery
County "Go Green program"
run by the State of Maryland's Department of Environmental
Protection.
- George supports the
Maryland Green Party
and
Montgomery
County Green Party
platforms.
- Both George and his wife
Phyllis drive Toyota Prius cars to help protect our environment,
and the Glucks use solar panels to help power and heat their
home.

3. Education |
- Gluck is disappointed
with the federal government for spending billions to bail
out banks while small businesses struggle and college
students and graduates are strapped trying to pay off huge
loans. "Students are indentured servants until they
pay those off. ...
That's insane," Gluck said. "If it were up to me, we'd find
a way to assist them in paying them off. If it were up to
me, they wouldn't have them in the first place."

Let George
Do It: George's approach
to problem-solving |
|
Problem:
Expensive and Contentious Elections |
George has fashioned an
innovative proposal for
Instant Runoff Voting and Contingency Runoff Voting that can
eliminate costly elections while serving the public good.
Many
citizens have expressed an interest in
Instant Runoff Voting (IRV). (See related
Gazette IRV articles:
League of Women Voters,
Erik Connell,
Greenbelt
and
Takoma Park.)
George has devised a variant of IRV
that he calls Contingency Runoff Voting (CRV) - (View an
example
