Cynthia Sirianni

Hi. My name is Cynthia Munhos de Aquino Sirianni.

I was the Unity Party candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2022 as Paul Noel Fiorino's running mate, and the first woman nominated for a Statewide office by the Unity Party.

Today, I stand as a Unity Party candidate for US Representative in Colorado’s Second Congressional District.

• I support proportional representation to secure fair, inclusive multiparty representation in Congress and State legislatures. 
• I agree with Cornel West that we need to declare a climate emergency.  
  
• I support carbon taxes to reduce our ecological footprint and to aid in the transition to an environomentally sustainable economy. 
• We need to use natural and safe pesticides for agriculture, and enact responsible environmental regulation to protect the commons. And We urgently need to expand recycling.
• I support an universal basic income, a universal health care system, and especially a publicly funded quality education, including child care facilities, pre-k to 12, college, and homeschooling.
• I support preservation of the ecosystem with more urban parks, and more protected lands good for hunting, fishing and recreation.
• I support federal legalization of marijuana and psychoactive mushrooms.
• Prisoners incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses should be released. 
• I support the right to  a safe abortion if the choice is needed.
• I support antidiscrimination laws for gender diverse people.
• We must protect the elderly homeowner from inflated property taxes. 
• I oppose foreign military aid and foreign military intervention. The legitimate purpose of the military is to defend US territory, not to project power overseas. 
• Foreign military bases should be shut down.
• We must end the US government’s involvement in endless wars, and cut the destructive waste of the world’s largest military budget.
• Humanitarian foreign aid should be used to support environmentally sustainable and socially just economic development to reduce the need for economically motivated immigration.
• Access to mental health care is an essential part of a national health care system designed to promote the general welfare of ourselves and our future generations.
• A healthy and successful population is best measured by a happiness Index instead of an income index. 
• Public support for the arts is essential for a healthy society. As Victor Pinchuk said, "Art, freedom, and creativity will change society faster than politics."

As a student of Kabbalah, I’ve heard: "Because kabbalists want everyone to be connected and acquire the quality of love, they care about the entire world: all the people, animals, plants, and planets. Rabbi Kook once said: “I wish the whole of humanity could be placed into a single body, so I could embrace them all.”
