Favorite Quotations:
During the 2008 election, which RAM contested, we campaigned with ten policies, better known as the '10 Commandments'. These can give you a taste of the sort of change RAM wants to bring to NZ society:

1. Remove GST tax from all our food.
2. $2,000 'baby bonus' to every mum.
3. Offer first-home buyers a 3% interest state loan.
4. Lift minimum wage to $15 per hour.
5. Free lunches in schools serving poor areas.
6. Free tertiary education plus a student living allowance.
7. Free and frequent public transport in our main cities.
8. Offer cheap solar panels to homeowners.
9. Restore to workers their free right to strike.
10. Enshrine the Treaty of Waitangi in a new constitution to guarantee the mutual rights of Maori and non-Maori.

About Me:
The Residents Action Movement (or RAM) is a New Zealand political party - but with a difference. RAM is a grassroots coalition of community activists who are uniting from around New Zealand to challenge LabNat politics in New Zealand.

We promote a positive vision of a multi-cultural inclusive society where economics work for people, where environmentalism isn't just talk and where progress isn't measured by numbers and statistics but by people in jobs, by safe communities and by children growing up out of poverty.

Since RAM is a people's movement, we are far more than an electoral party. We are a mass movement which also campaigns outside of elections and mobilises the grassroots around issues important to them. Since our formation in 2003, RAM has campaigned around home rate hikes, public transport, global warming, racist attacks on Muslims, the war in Iraq, unfair treatment of workers and GST off food.

Authorised by RAM chair Grant Morgan, 24 Church Rd, Mangere Bridge, Manukau City
