- EUGENE PLATT IS NO LONGER A CANDIDATE FOR THE STATE HOUSE IN 2008
The Democratic Party was successful in their effort to keep Eugene off of the ballot. This is actually pretty standard behavior for both the Democratic and Republican Parties who will do anything in their power to keep out any alternative voices who threaten their shared control of the system. However, the public is tired of politics as usual that gives away public money to wealthy corporations, enters into unhealthy trade agreements, continues to subsidize record-profit-making big oil companies as the environmental impact can be seen more clearly than ever before, and wastes money and lives on unnecessary military conquests around the world while our economy collapses and our schools and infrastructure suffer. People are hungry for third parties like the Green Party who are not sold out to special interests because they refuse to accept any contributions from them and they are a true voice of the American people. The voters of District 115 have been denied their right to vote for Eugene this time, but the Green Party is growing in South Carolina, in the United States of America, and around the world. With your help, there will be an increasing number of Greens representing you at all levels in the years to come.

About me:
I'm running for State House because I believe the time for change has come!
Born and raised in Charleston, I have a strong desire to preserve the qualities that make it unique.
The two critical issues my campaign focuses on are equitable taxation and unreasonable development.
As the senior member of the James Island Public Service District (PSD), first elected in 1993, I have worked to assure a high level of service for the PSD's constituents and fought to save our community from excessive development by short-sighted, often greedy developers.
Too many people in our community suffer from the effects of an unjust economic system. I intend to reduce their tax burden and create greater opportunities to achieve wealth. Our state income tax system is out of kilter, favoring the wealthy. There is something terribly wrong in a society where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It's time to stop subsidizing the lifestyles of the rich and famous at the expense of those who are struggling just to get by or raising a family on a tightly-stretched budget.
If you agree that it's time for a change, please support my campaign and help put James Island, Folly Beach, South Carolina, and America back on the right track!
This campaign is dedicated in loving memory of my wife Mary who died of breast cancer in 2003. Mary dedicated her life to the well-being of others and believed a better world was possible.
