If we want a different result we must do something different. The two Parties want us to believe that they are the only choice. They both operate from exactly the same two page playbook. Page one is "Do whatever is necessary to win elections and maintain power." Page two says "Always blame the other side." They want us divided and isolated. They work diligently to suppress third party and independent candidates. Most of us don’t operate at the margins of the political spectrum, we don’t have to vote that way.
You have the power. The political parties are heavily invested in the fiction that they are the only choice. The two parties ignore the people once elected. Instead, they serve special interests and big money donors. It does not have to be that way. The Arkansas motto is “Regnat Populus” which is “the people rule.” We can reclaim our state. No political action committee owns even one single vote. Your vote outnumbers them. A vote for third party and independent candidates is a vote for hope. We can forge a better future and it starts with your vote.

Our state and our country are badly in need of criminal justice reform. One in five incarcerated people in the world are in the USA. Arkansas has the 6th highest incarceration rate in the US. Our recidivism rate is higher than most of the rest of the world. Half of the prisoners on Arkansas death row are racial minorities when they make up about 18% of our state’s population. What does this accomplish? Is this just? Are we somehow better of safer because of it? We must do better.
