Roxusan is a history major who likes to understand different sides of an issue.

How I Edit
I strive to obtain as much information about a topic as possible before posting any information on it. I use a wide variety of sources to back up claims, and aim to stay balanced despite personal views or political orientations. Gaining knowledge and insight about all kinds of movements, views, and people is why I joined SourceWatch. Perhaps I can make new friends!

Political Views
Like every person alive, I hold convictions, opinions, and outright biases. However, I keep them in mind as I edit sections and select information. Admitting where you are coming from is the only way to ensure that it does not take over your research:

1. Firm believer in gender equality and feminism (i.e. I believe men and women are equal, even if they are not "the same.")

2. Against cosmetic animal testing.

3. Vegetarian. No meat, no leather, no fur.

4. Supports gay rights (right to marry, right to join the military, right to adopt children.)

5. For energy independence in the United States (green power!)

6. For a two-state solution in the Middle East (one Palestinian State, one Israeli state)

7. Favors state-government and local-government (the greatest government is one that empowers people to govern themselves)

8. Against the death penalty.

9. Pro-small business, anti-big corporation.

10. Anti-racist: pro-affirmative action, pro-Ethnic Studies, pro-Immigration Reform (as opposed to building more borders, racial profiling, and spending money on policing... police are people, too, and there is no reason to put them in these antagonistic situations.)

11. Pro-union (Unions are not perfect, but unionized workers have more options and power than non-unionized workers)
