Ballotpedia survey responses

Angel Sides participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on February 27, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Angel Sides's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) federal environmental jobs program 2) expand medicare |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am an environmental activist because it affects all life: plants, animals, and humans now and in the future. Global warming is the biggest threat to mankind according to the Pentagon but what Americans want first and foremost are jobs. Our government should, kill two birds with one stone, stop subsidizing the oil and coal industry, and move full throttle to a federal environmental jobs program. If every road, sidewalk, and parking lot were solar it would provide any given city with three times the city’s electric needs. At some point, houses and buildings could be converted to electric heat and gas companies would be obsolete. Taxes used to repair and repave roads could be used to supplement replacing the roads with solar roads. The new ones are computers and under them are corridors for electrical lines and to channel rain water to replace lead contaminated water lines. Solar roads have the ability to melt snow which can save taxes to build more solar roads. Scott and Julie Brusaw are testing roads that detect trees and large animals on the highway which can also save lives. We can also address climate change by planting more trees. There is not less of a carbon footprint in Nuclear Energy when you consider storing the toxic byproduct that will be radioactive for 245 thousand years or more. Nuclear power plants leak radiation on a regular basis and they are designed to do so. Uranium has proven to be cancerous no matter how small the amount tested. We do not have to have a natural disaster to have a disaster on our hands. Nuclear power plants also get old. We have got to stop subsidizing and building new nuclear power plants.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Angel Sides answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | I campaigned for Bernie Sanders because he has been saying the same things for many years so he isn't pandering to the vote. He is one of the few politicians to stand against corporate interests.[3] | ” |
| “ | I have produced a political commentary on Free Speech television for the last 10 years because the United States has media that is sponsored by corporations. This is clearly a conflict of interest. I wanted the community to know the importance of independent media. The media reported there were weapons of mass destruction, universal health care is not affordable, when the U.S. is the richest country in the world; and that global warming is a disputable science. Corporate America does not want any changes when they are making so much money on the system in place. The media is used as a tool to bamboozle the public to vote against their own interests.[3] | ” |
| “ | For the last ten years, I have produced political commentary on Free Speech tv (independent media) covering the subject matter of how our media is corrupted. I would support subsidizing our media because when corporations sponsor our media, they will report very little on a subject, when it affects corporate America's profits. Psychologists are employed to test rhetoric and propaganda that will influence the public to vote against their own interest. Public officials need to know what the problems are in the world in order to solve those problems. For the last ten years I have been splicing and editing commentaries and documentaries and it paints a bleak picture that scares me and I refuse to grow old and die without doing anything, without saying anything. This is one of the main reasons I am running for office. What people need to know is when politicians accept corporate, campaign contributions; they then pass legislation that benefits those corporations. A big pharma contribution equals high drug prices. An oil Industry contribution equals pollution and global warming. An insurance industry contribution equals high insurance premiums and votes against expanding Medicare. Therefore, what people need to look at to know how to vote for a candidate is who or what finances a candidate’s campaign and how long has a candidate been saying what they’re saying. I have not taken corporate lobbyist money during my campaign and I will never be a corporate puppet. I have been an activist for the last twenty years, so I am not exactly pandering to the vote. I have gone around the country for the last twenty years marching, protesting, speaking, and even being arrested. I am authentically disgusted with our system and I authentically want change.[3] | ” |
| “ | I would like my legacy to be that I transformed the Democratic Party by getting big money out of politics and proposed legislation that preserved a habitable planet for all life.[3] | ” |
| “ | Confessions of an Economic Hitman is my favorite book. It is about a whistle blower that claims the World Bank selects countries that have resources that are desirable and in debt those countries through sanctions or war and then the multinational corporations take that countries valuable resources. We are only killing and being killed for the profits of the elite few and our military is the corporate goon squad.[3] | ” |
| “ | I believe it is beneficial for representatives to know the difference between right and wrong and refuse to take corporate money to campaign.[3] | ” |
| “ | The greatest challenge will be to convert to alternative energy, turn to more sustainable agriculture, get toxins out of our biosphere, and rebuild our piping infrastructure to remove lead contamination.[3] | ” |
| “ | We need a fair division of our districts that eliminates gerrymandering.[3] | ” |
| “ | I appreciate the views of Tulsi Gabbard and I think some of these wars our military is engaged in need oversight and investigated.[3] | ” |
| “ | I have talked to many people who have had family or friends who have died from drug overdose.[3] | ” |
