| Collapse all
Leadership, Liberty, Law & JUSTICE, Accountability & Responsibility
DARING to lead, to build consensus and alliances to Make America More Perfect.
My guiding principles are:
A. The U.S. Constitution and its basic seven principles.
B. Rule of law.
C. Liberty & JUSTICE for All.
D. True facts - there are no Republican facts or Democratic facts, there are only true verifiable facts.
E. Together we are better.- Make America More Perfect
- Don't Vote Hate
- RealMaverick.org
Eradicate COVID-19 (TITT - Testing, Isolation, Treatment, Tracing. Fund 25 million tests/day! Wide-scale, regular, rapid testing is key to eliminating the pandemic)
Fight for Liberty & JUSTICE for All
B. Long-Term
Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment (politicians love spending money)
Reform Government to save money and make government more effective and efficient
Rewrite the Tax Code to make it fair and understandable (NO MORE billionaires not paying taxes)
C. Never-Ending
Protect Social SecurityRestore Respect for the Military
1. Maintain social security as is a separate, self-funded program,
2. Eliminate the social security cap, and
3. Return social security to a pay-as-you-go program, ending 'pre-funding', which has been a fraud used to fund the government.
Fix Health Care
Support the Republican healthcare plan, the mainstay of which for decades has been personal responsibility, by to supporting an integration of our tax and spending to discourage uninsurance, public insurance, and charity care rather than private insurance; and make sure everyone has private health insurance, regardless of how it is obtained - at work, in the marketplace or in an exchange.' Sound familiar? Obamacare is in large part the Republican healthcare plan. However, if Republicans can not support their own plan, then a government-run, single-payer plan would be the next best option.
And DARE to lead!
An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.
Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
Term limits would cure both senility and seniority- both terrible legislative diseases.
The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.
I have little patience with people who take the Bill of Rights for granted. The Bill of Rights, contained in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, is every American's guarantee of freedom.
I can remember when a good politician had to be 75 percent ability and 25 percent actor, but I can well see the day when the reverse could be true.
Everybody has the right to express what he thinks. That, of course, lets the crackpots in. But if you cannot tell a crackpot when you see one, then you ought to be taken in.
A man who is influenced by the polls or is afraid to make decisions which make him unpopular is not a man to represent the welfare of the country.
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities.
