Michael W. Morrill is an American political activist and member of the Green Party. He was a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania in 2002.

Morrill has been a long-time activist for liberal causes, including the peace movement and fights against global corporatism. He has served as the executive director of the Pennsylvania Citizen Action Network, Pennsylvania's Campaign for Choice and numerous other local and statewide organizations. He has worked internationally with Peoples' Global Action, a worldwide network of anti-globalization movements.

Morrill was widely rumored to be considering another run for governor of Pennsylvania in 2006, this time for the Democratic nomination. However, he announced on February, 13, 2006, that he would not run, citing the "toll" his 2002 race took on him and his family ([1], [2]).

[edit] Positions

Morrill is staunchly pro-labor, reflecting his many years as a union organizer. He supports full civil rights for all people, which he defines as being pro-choice on abortion and fully supportive of L/G/B/T rights (including marriage).

He also supports restructuring taxes to ease the burden on lower and middle income people and closing loopholes for corporations and the wealthy.
