My four major platform pillars are: 1. Healthcare For All. 2. Housing For All. 3. Nutritious Food For All. 4. Closing The Wealth Gap For All.
These four pillars have the power to put America The Beautiful on track towards sustainable progress for All her communities. Using grassroots economics, every household citizen can be healthy, housed, well and pursuing a life with self-determination.
Grassroots efforts build a nation from the communities up. Unjustly, land has been stolen and property seized; the masses are over taxed and public funds have been mismanaged. Repair must be made to two of America's finest ethnic groups immediately... wealth of the First Americans and American Freedmen descendants must be restored through economic empowerment zones.
But first, WeThePeople must make the demands, replace corrupt government leadership, and end systemic inequalities to truth, justice and repair.
We are the masses, and we demand full equalitarism be practiced in government; a pathway to ending poverty, truth in justice, a clean environmental and demilitarization of our society.- Texas District 5 citizens want access to HEALTHCARE WHEN WE NEED IT. Affordable Care Act premiums for Texans can be too costly for many household budgets. Additionally, healthcare providers are increasingly getting more frustrated with how the insurance claim processes work. Therefore, my Healthcare For All platform will return federal dollars to the people by supporting Community Clinics & Hospitals where both the local citizens and health professionals are empowered to providing care that fits the needs of the patient.
- IT CAN'T BE that families in Texas 5th District are sleeping in their cars, shelters and on the streets while structurally sound properties sit empty. Our government has allowed investor groups to build and buy up residential homes that were really never meant to be anything more than an asset on a portfolio. My Housing For All platform insist no U.S. citizen should ever be homeless as long as there is available hard shelter. Nor should district citizens ever not be afforded access to foods that support the health and wellness of their bio-bodies. My Nutritious Food For All platform addresses "food deserts" by expanding military commissaries to low-income U.S. citizens.
- As a solution for a SUSTAINABLE END TO POVERTY in Texas District 5, and all of the United States, my campaign presents options for Closing the Wealth Gap between millionaires and disenfranchised citizens. Trickle down models must be replaced with Grassroots Economics. And the government is responsible to empowering community growth. Creating economic empowerment zones for communities that have been systemically impeded from building wealth, will be the start of Closing the Wealth Gap. My platform will focus on repairing unjust practices towards First Americans and descendants of American Freedmen.
