Priorities- People First.

  1. Drive a new Constitutional amendment to define “persons” as “the “natural people” endowed by the Creator with inalienable rights. Corporations are not people. Corporations and other artificial entities are created by law and must be regulated by law. Only natural people have souls, personal beliefs, and morals.
  2. Reform the Senate filibuster. The filibuster rule is not in the Constitution and prevents the Legislative branch its job. We must allow democratically elected representatives debate and vote on legislation and establish laws.
  3. Reclaim patriotism for all Americans by using the Stars and Stripes to promote democracy and the perpetuation of our political institutions.
  4. Encourage civic participation and voter engagement. Give people a cookie or other rewards for being attentive and knowledgeable on current events.
  5. End Taxation without Representation. The District of Columbia was formed to provide for the needs of elected representatives and federal employees. Back in the horse and buggy age, it took a week to travel to New York. Representatives needed to stay in Washington DC for extended periods to do their work. The majority of those who provided services to the lawmakers did not have the right to vote because of the color of their skin or the gender of their bodies. Today most elected representatives commute to D.C. and do not maintain residences in the district. They are outsiders. Washington D.C. has grown beyond merely accommodating government. The 712,000 residents of the District is more than existing states and D.C. pays more taxes than 22 smaller states. It is un-American to deny tax paying citizens a Senate debate and vote on statehood. End the filibuster and End taxation without representation.
  6. Make America Good Again. I was taught to love America and our democracy. My first memory of historical note was the preparations for America’s bicentennial anniversary. When I was eight, my parents took us on a pilgrimage to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia in 1975, before the big celebrations in ’76. When I returned to school, we pledged allegiance to the flag every morning. Having visited the temples of our democracy and seen the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, I truly believed in my pledge to the flag, “and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” I never was told that America was perfect, but that we were getting better. The middle class was strong before Reagan declared war on unions and cut taxes that corporations paid for our infrastructure. America was good and getting better.
  7. We can choose to be good, and that’s why I am running for the Senate. I pledge to make the changes that the majority of the natural people want. Campaign finance reform is an popular bipartisan issue that the Supreme Court ended by a 5 to 4 decision. Elected and accountable representatives in Congress need to pass legislation to campaign finances. The Constitution must to be amended to keep up with the times.
  8. I will drive these priorities with your support and fight to Make America Good Again. We the People can make moral choices and enforce the laws of the nation. We must believe in America and believe in our ability to make it better with change. I believe, and am asking for your vote for change.
