When I met Mr. LaRouche, he was on trial in Boston (a case which fell apart due to evidence that then-Vice President George H.W. Bush was trying to silence him and his organization) and being vilified in the press, which led me to believe that he was fighting for a just cause.
I worked on 4 of LaRouche’s 8 presidential campaigns, and developed a good understanding of the principles of physical economy as well as international statecraft. When LaRouche decided he was “too old” to run for president, he asked a few of his younger associates to run as a team from different states for U.S. Congress, and I was honored to be among them, launching my first campaign for Congress in NJ in the 2012 elections.
I have run for office most recently in 2022, when I ran against Schumer for U.S. Senate in NY, becoming the first independent candidate in the State of New York to succeed at meeting the outrageous 45k signature requirement for ballot access.
I founded a large community chorus in Manhattan, which is now an established 501(c)(3) organization and performs regularly throughout the city.- Nuclear War cannot be won and must never be fought!
We must stop arming Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and demand a negotiated end to these conflicts.
Our military industrial capacity must be retooled to produce badly needed modern infrastructure such as 43k miles of high speed rail, new nuclear power plants, upgrade our dams and water mgmt systems, and plan and build several new cities.
The BRICS process of economic cooperation among powerful “Global South” nations should not be perceived as a threat, but rather an opportunity to expand the American market, if we begin producing again - Stop inflation! Make life affordable! The transatlantic City of London and Wall St speculative bubble is now “worth” quadrillions of dollars. It cannot possibly be saved! Stop trying! We need an orderly bankruptcy reorganization, to write off bad debt, while protecting pension funds, local municipal budgets, and other necessities. Stop giving Jamie Dimon a free ride! We must reinstate the FDR-era Glass-Steagall Act, separating the banks by function. The Federal Reserve should be abolished and replaced by a National Bank, as Alexander Hamilton established, for which our elected representatives can be held accountable. This bank can issue the credit to massively increase the physical productive output of the American worker.
- Protect Freedom of Speech! Without freedom of speech and association, the American people have no ability to hold our government accountable. The alphabet soup of federal agencies (FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, TSA, IRS, DoJ) must be audited and reigned in. Political targetting of American citizens must stop. If you disagree with someone’s opinion, organize a debate and prove them wrong. We need to establish a transparent system for voting which increases participation. Limit Absentee ballots, count votes at the polling place. Election Day should be a Sunday or national holiday. Voter ID needed, and clean up the voter lists
This means allowing them to participate in the physical sciences, with actual laboratory experiments. It means learning music, art and Shakespeare.
I admire Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for having the courage to break out of his lane and oppose the Vietnam War, which cost him greatly both in funding, and his life.
Lyndon LaRouche's "Road to Recovery"
Alexander Hamilton's "On the Subect of Manufactures"
The framers of the U.S. Constitution brilliantly devised a system which would allow for the government to protect the liberty of the citizens, while also safeguarding us from destructive actions of individuals or groups within our nation or abroad.
Human beings create organized societies so that there can be a division of labor, and people can concentrate on a specific task, allowing leisure time to develop one’s mind, through creative pursuits, like playing a musical instrument, painting, writing poetry, studying the cosmos, or any number of other similar endeavors.
I have a strong understanding of the principles of physical economy and if I had my way, could quickly reverse the economic collapse and inflation we are currently experiencing.
People who watch my programs will also notice that I have many associates who are former military and intelligence professionals, so I will have access to a great reserve of wisdom and experience in military affairs.
Members of the Senate also are responsible for vetting nominees for certain posts, and, very importantly, vote on the budget, which affects the American economy as a whole.
Secondly, we must face the fact that the post-industrial economic model has been an unmitigated disaster, and that our banking system is bloated with fictitious value which the American people should not be forced to pay.
I believe we must take a hard look at the shift in policy after the assassinations of President Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King. Jr and Robert Kennedy. We never got at the truth behind those deaths, and our policy suffered a coup. We had a similar downturn after the events of 9/11, which again were never investigated in a non-partisan and open fashion.
We will restore optimism by getting to the bottom of the above crimes, and returning to a forward-looking mission of uplifting the standard of living of our people. This can be done by prosecuting some of the “too big to fail” corporate chiefs who have looted the system, as Ferdinand Pecora did during the days of FDR. Americans should stop respecting crooks and liars because they have money.
The Senate has an important role to play in foreign policy, both in terms of ratifying treaties, and appointments of officials. It is a six year term, which makes it a stabilizing factor, as opposed to the House which has only 2 year terms.

Nuclear War Cannot Be Won and Must Never Be Fought End NATO. Stop spending billions arming Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and negotiate for peace. Ceasefire in Gaza now! Retool military industrial corporations to build high speed rail, nuclear power plants, water management systems, and several new American cities. China and Russia are not our enemies. Stop Inflation and Restore the Middle Class No more bailouts for friends of Jeffrey Epstein like Jamie Dimon, among others. Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act and implement the four point program of Lyndon LaRouche, America's greatest economist. Increase the productive power of our workforce. Uphold the Constitution Audit and limit the power of our so-called "intelligence agencies," starting with the CIA. Defend freedom of speech and association. Release the files on the Kennedy Assassination. Free Julian Assange. Exonerate LaRouche. The Minds of Our Children Are Our Greatest Resource Protect them! Return to a Classical education curriculum in public schools. Children must reenact the discoveries of the greatest geniuses. Schools need real science labs, orchestras, art, and Classical drama, as well as vocational training and "home economics."[8] |

She attended Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, but later transferred to New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. where she studied music education and trombone performance. Diane grew up in Maine in a New England Quaker household. Her father is a medical doctor (ret.) and her mother was a biochemist and a musician.
Diane met her husband Christopher in 1987 at a birthday party for Beethoven which was sponsored by Lyndon LaRouche's 1988 presidential campaign. They married in 1988 and remain happily married today. Besides her political work, Diane founded and co-directs a Manhattan-based community chorus.
Diane is deeply committed to the principles expressed in the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and believes that our greatest presidents were George Washington, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. While there is stiff competition for "worst president," she would consider Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, both Bushes and Barack Obama as contenders.- Wall Street and the City of London's speculative looting must be brought under control. Lyndon LaRouche's Four Laws, starting with reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act would accomplish this.
- The United States has no mandate to invade other nations and overthrow governments which pose no threat to us. We need to collaborate with China and Russia in particular to stabilize the world economically and strategically. Sovereignty must be respected.
- Human beings are not animals. We are uniquely capable, through creative scientific discovery, of improving the standard of living for a growing population from one generation to the next. We should liberate ourselves from the pagan cult of earth-worshipping environmentalism and encourage scientific discovery.
The United States is going to have to cooperate with China on rapidly building massive projects of transportation, water management, and power generation. We can't do it at the rate required without such cooperation, as the average age of a machinist now is 45, and many machinists report that if they retire, there is no one to replace them.
David Lilienthal's book "Democracy on the March" about the Tennessee Valley Authority is a good reference for the kind of initiatives that have to be taken to address the current crisis.
Prior to the TVA, the Tennessee Valley was hopelessly impoverished and ravaged by malaria and floods. After the river was brought under control, the local population was engaged in the upgrading of land management and farming, and also industry and mining, and production of phosphate-based fertilizer. This greatly increased the amount of food produced per farm, and the electrification of the households and farms increased it even more. This success created a cultural shift among the people living there, reflected in part by their great demand for public libraries, and their care to develop the region in such a way as to also enhance the natural beauty of the area with beautiful lakes and recreational parks.

Economy
To understand why I am advocating Lyndon LaRouche’s “Four Laws” to address the crisis in the U.S. Economy, it is first necessary to dispense with the delusion that we are in some kind of recovery, or that we were in some kind of recovery prior to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown which began in March 2020. I co-authored a package of articles in Executive Intelligence Review entitled “The Bitter Truth About the U.S. ‘Economic Recovery,’” which appeared in the July 12, 2019 issue to make the point that by all human metrics, the U.S. economy is in dire straits. That is, if you look at life expectancy, homelessness, unemployment, suicides, overdose deaths, the American Society of Civil Engineers Report Cards, it is very clear that the more the stock market goes up, the more the actual welfare of the American people goes down, just as Lyndon LaRouche forecast it would with his famous 1995 Triple Curve Function. Prior to COVID-19, American families were already under enormous strain, as the cost of living was soaring, but median incomes were not. While under a fraudulent “Russia-gate” investigation and impeachment attempt, President Trump managed to sign a trade agreement with China (which is now in jeopardy) and save or restore some manufacturing jobs here and there, but due to the ongoing attempted coup, and the Wall Street/City of London loyalties of Trump’s cabinet, the kind of sweeping reform he had spoken of on the campaign trail, like the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act and 50 great infrastructure projects, have not occurred. The most significant thing that President Trump has been able to accomplish in this regard, is a very important revival of the manned space program, including a successful launch of two American Astronauts on a SpaceX rocket to the International Space Station. This is a significant step in NASA’s Artemis Mission to land the first woman and a man on the Moon in 2024, and to establish, at long last, a permanent base at the South Pole of the Moon from which to launch future missions to Mars and further. The program below “The LaRouche Plan to Reopen the Economy” gives some of the rough parameters of what is needed in the United States and worldwide. (If you have expertise in skilled apprenticeship programs, agriculture, fusion research and would like to collaborate with my campaign in these areas, please fill out the VOLUNTEER form and we’ll be in touch soon!) The LaRouche Plan to Reopen the Economy: The World Needs 1.5 Billion New, Productive Jobs “The LaRouche Plan to Reopen the Economy: The World Needs 1.5 Billion New, Productive Jobs” was released on May 23, 2020. The proposals are based on the LaRouche method of physical economy applied to the daunting task of productively employing 1.5 billion people on the planet—nearly half the work force—who are now de facto unemployed. This spectacular program to create 50 million productive American jobs is the only serious response to “the big one”—the simultaneous disease pandemic, hunger pandemic, mass unemployment pandemic, and financial collapse. The U.S. economy that “reopens” has to be a new economy retooled and converted to rebuild a shattered world economy, creating a modern healthcare and public health system throughout the underdeveloped nations, and new power, water, and high-speed transportation infrastructure. It must be an opening to the American System of industrialization and scientific progress, on the scale of the world. There is no better example of this than America’s return to space, with the pending launch of an American-made manned rocket to the International Space Station (ISS). The fundamental premise of the new report is that economic growth must be driven by breakthroughs in science and technology, which breakthroughs translate into increases in the productive powers of labor. Current cooperation in space must become a full-fledged international Moon-to-Mars mission, as the “science driver” for the entire process of creating new, high-technology productive employment and education of young people to take on new fields. The new report addresses the task of transforming the U.S. workforce to meet that challenge, with an especially exciting new concept presented in the chapter entitled, “America’s Space Mission; Youth’s Next Frontier.” It’s time for Americans to think big again. Don’t ask how or when to reopen the economy. Ask, “What must be the character and direction of the economy that will be reopened?” The global pandemic has ripped the mask off of the failed British neo-liberal economic system, exposing the tragic transformation of the agro-industrial base of western economies into hollowed out consumer- and entertainment-driven service economies. It has exposed the equally tragic idea that the “underdeveloped” countries could remain permanently underdeveloped, without genocidal consequences. That system is dead, and it must be buried, by an alliance of major nations, led by the United States, Russia, China and India, around the creation of a New Bretton Woods international credit system, modeled on what FDR intended, to lift up nations’ economies all over the world, and as long called for by Lyndon LaRouche. LaRouche presented the choices before us, in a June 14, 2007 webcast: “We have now an incalculable crisis worldwide in progress.... This is a crisis to see who is going to run the world. Is it going to be a group of nations, or is it going to be the re-emergent British Empire which never really went away—which takes over from the United States and establishes its world rule through globalization?” The report highlights the critical role the U.S. plays as part of that “group of nations.” Conversely, if a “recovery program” is attempted for the American economy alone—avoiding that cooperation, ignoring the underdeveloped nations’ crying need for hospital building, healthcare supplies, electric power, water management, new transportation—Wall Street and the City of London will control it. And they will make sure it’s a “green new deal” and a new “green finance bubble,” created to replace their collapsing “everything bubble.” This report also contains a special message to the American people from Helga Zepp-LaRouche, calling for a resurgence of the historic identity of the United States, as embodied in George Washington, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and, above all, her late husband, Lyndon LaRouche. She renews her appeal to President Trump for the exoneration of LaRouche.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. -United States Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776, concluding paragraph "She goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy" Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, July 4, 1821 There can be no positive American foreign policy without first recognizing that we declared our independence from the British Empire nearly 250 years ago for good reason. The principles set forth in our Declaration of Independence and Preamble of the Constitution are universal, and apply not only to Americans, but to all human beings on Earth. Therefore, my foreign policy will adhere to the following principles:
Currently there are many hot spots on the planet which need urgent attention. If the United States, Russia, China and India collaborate, I am confident that all of them can be peaceably resolved. With the existing number of nuclear warheads and advanced capabilities of launching them, the danger of annihilation is too great to use warfare as a means of resolving conflicts. The Bush and Obama administrations, which were run largely from the British Foreign office, should be investigated for war crimes. For more, please study the following reports: The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge Lyndon LaRouche’s Documentary “Storm Over Asia”
Cancel “Cancel Culture” The brilliant German-American rocket scientist Krafft Ehricke commented in a lecture near the end of his life that the “culture” of the generations of people who grew up on planets other than earth would be different from the culture of human beings living on earth. He used the example of his children, who were born and raised in the United States, having a different sense of history and identity from him and his wife who grew up in Germany. This is an intriguing concept because one is provoked to consider where one’s “culture” comes from, and also what is the relationship between “culture” and “identity.” In the United States today, there is a coordinated assault on the very best aspects of our culture, history and identity which is not accidental, but designed to reduce us to an enslaved state of barbarism. It is important to recognize that the statement in our 1776 Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal...endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness…” was a truly revolutionary conception. Nowhere in Europe was that the practice of the day. Everyone had a social pecking order based on bloodline, wealth and property. Think of all the titles: Duke, Barron, King, Queen, Don, etc. The idea that each human being has an equal relationship to the Creator, means that the only just government would be one worthy of the “consent of the governed,” recognizing that the “governor” were equal to the governed. But, for a population to give its consent and to know what actions would secure the best future for itself and its posterity, requires wisdom and maturity. Imagine what sort of government would be formed by a group of two year old infants. Obviously, they would require a preferably sane adult to make most decisions for them, and to act on their behalf. Imagine millions of American voters who have no knowledge of basic scientific principles, who believe that there is no difference between a human being and an animal, that everything is a matter of “my opinion,” and that there is no reason as to why something is one way, and not otherwise, rushing to the polls to vote for a Joe Biden, or whatever freak they think best represents their view. Such a nation will not last long, and if it is a nuclear superpower, the world itself is in danger. Therefore, the question of culture is of paramount importance for the survival of the human species. We must strive to create a society where each child has the maximum opportunity to develop his or her God-given talent, whatever that talent may be. This means the eradication of poverty. A scandalous article appeared a couple years ago in the New York Times which admitted that over 100,000 children in the New York City Public School system are homeless. About half of them are packed into squalid and dangerous shelters while many others live with other relatives, sharing a living room couch or even floor space, with no privacy or space to think, and others are just out on the streets. How are these children going to possibly be able to contribute to future generations? This is absurd and unacceptable. The other major problem is drug addiction. We are not going to solve this by jailing all of the users and using them for cheap prison labor. Bankers who launder drug money need to be prosecuted and jailed. Programs like the Obama-era “Fast and Furious” which was arming Mexican drug cartels must be ended, and individuals held accountable. However, unless we transform society so that those suffering from drug addiction can be happily employed and develop a new, productive identity, the cycle will continue. As we solve the above mentioned problems, we need to develop a standard of Classical curriculum for public schools, which will be administered on a state and local government level.
Besides the above, which are the birthright of every child, we need to take a lesson from the “home demonstration agents” sent out from Tuskegee Institute in the early days of reconstruction. Many young people have no idea how to manage a household, perform basic household repairs, let alone have any knowledge of mechanics, gardening or cooking. While vocational education should be an option for High School students, general courses in “home economics” should be integrated into the standard curriculum. A society which is committed to building cities on other planets, with all of the scientific and technological breakthroughs required, including emphatically the development of thermonuclear fusion power, will have created the conditions which will inspire young people to develop their own creative potential. If we allow billions of people on the planet to suffer from starvation, war and disease, it is our own future which we are robbing.
Crush the Global Fascist Digital Dictatorship “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” - First Amendment, U.S. Constitution How is it that Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey are allowed to deny the President of the United States, Donald Trump, a platform to address the American People? Many leaders from around the world are shocked that this extreme form of censorship is occurring in the United States, including Mexican President Obrador, whom you can watch here. Not only do these social media platforms censor what we are allowed to read and watch, but even more ominous, they use carefully programmed algorithms to change the way we think. Many so-called “liberals” now consider speech to be a form of violence, (from which they must have “safe spaces” to avoid reality) while condoning actual violence as long as it’s directed against people with whom they disagree. Senator Chuck Schumer is a thuggish front man for this fascist apparatus, threatening President Trump early in 2017 that the intelligence agencies have “six ways from Sunday” to get back at anyone who would attempt to reign in their power. The following actions need to be taken immediately: Exonerate Lyndon LaRouche. His case set the precedent for what was done to President Trump, and what will be done to all independent thinkers. Pardon Assange and Snowden and protect them so that they can tell the American people about the crimes of the military industrial complex, including its ties to the British GCHQ. Violators of The U.S. Constitution must be brought to justice. Big tech monopolies must be broken up, and new privacy protections for American consumers put in place. Establish the means to have fair, fraud-free elections. NSA whistleblowers Kirk Wiebe and Bill Binney have devised a program to prevent hacking of elections, including eliminating fake voters, which they offered to every state and territory of the United States in the summer of 2020. None was interested. The State of New York should be the first to adopt their program.

But Western governments, rather than drawing the consequences of this fact, and fundamentally reorganizing the system, have escalated the confrontation with their alleged systemic competitors, Russia and China. This has led, as a result of NATO’s five-fold expansion eastward, to a reverse Cuban Missile Crisis and to a war in the middle of Europe which could potentially escalate into a nuclear Third World War. Many people are afraid of a new world war, and justifiably so. But it is the causes of the danger that we need to eliminate! Aren’t we witnessing how nothing is working anymore? Aren’t supply chains breaking down everywhere? Aren’t food and energy prices exploding? The German government now wants to ration gas, while in Poland and Lithuania, people are once again heating with wood. No, this has next to nothing to do with China’s “Zero Covid” policy, and only indirectly with the war in Ukraine. But it has a lot to do with the neoliberal model, in all its aspects. The neoliberal idea of outsourcing a nation’s industrial production to low-wage countries, was wrong, as it destroys productive jobs in industrial nations and exploits labor in the developing countries. Equally wrong is the idea of a “shareholder-value society,” in which short-term stock market profiteering is the sole goal, and long-term rises in physical economic productivity are meaningless. And just as wrong is the idea that “money earns money,” as if money had an intrinsic value in itself, or the just-in-time idea, in which inventories are no longer needed, since trucks can deliver semi-finished parts at the last minute. But above all, what is totally wrong is the idea that money is synonymous with social wealth. This fairy tale has only led to an explosive increase in the number of billionaires and millionaires, while the ranks of the poor are also growing, and the middle class is disappearing. The stunning collapse of infrastructure in the United States and Europe—be it unsafe bridges, freight trains waiting for days on rail sidings, the absurd amount of time required for repairs, the shortage of skilled labor, or the disappearance of products on store shelves—is proof positive of the failure of the neoliberal model. Galloping inflation, in particular, is not the result of the “war in Ukraine,” but of the excessive money-printing by central banks since 2008, in an attempt to paper over the systemic crisis. With the trans-Atlantic financial system today, we are facing what we faced in Weimar Germany in 1923: hyperinflation, which threatens to devour the entire life savings of the population. Attempts by the central banks to fight that inflation with interest rate increases could unleash a chain-reaction collapse of indebted firms and developing countries. The aggressive decoupling from Russia and the attempt to move against China are ongoing, and will sink all nations. The effect on the developing world is murderous. Already now, according to the UN, 1.7 billion people are threatened with a hunger catastrophe, which has been exacerbated by the self-destructive sanctions against Russia and other countries. The neoliberal model has done nothing to fight poverty in the Global South, where 2 billion people have no access to clean water and the majority of developing countries have no effective health system, leaving them defenseless when exposed to the Covid pandemic and other diseases. The social systems of many countries are already collapsing. If inflation gets out of control, or if there is a sudden collapse, large parts of the world could plunge into total social chaos. Moreover, it is unacceptable to use climate and environmentalist concerns to justify de-industrialization and radical depopulation, as Malthus did in his time. Although the governments of the Western world will not admit it, the neoliberal system today is as bankrupt as were the communist countries in the 1989-1991 period. Rather than recognizing this fact, they continue making decisions whose consequences they have not thought through, threatening the collapse of societies. Instead of rationing gas and letting prices for basic necessities soar uncontrollably, they should lift the sanctions—a brutal form of warfare against the populations of the targeted countries—and rely on diplomacy to solve conflicts. We the signers therefore call for the immediate convening of an emergency international conference which mandates: First: The reorganization of the bankrupt world financial system and replacing it with a New Bretton Woods system. The declared goal of this new credit system must be overcoming poverty and underdevelopment in the entire world, but above all raising living standards in developing countries, making it possible for all people on this planet to fully develop their potential capabilities. Second: A bankruptcy reorganization of commercial banks, putting them under creditor protection, so that they can supply the real economy with credit. Investment banks and other financial entities must manage without taxpayer money, putting their accounts in order on their own, and declaring bankruptcy, if necessary. Third: The banning of derivatives trade under agreements among governments. Fourth: The immediate implementation of a system of fixed exchange rates, which can be periodically adjusted by governments within certain limits. Fifth: The fundamental reorganization of the debt of countries and firms and, when necessary for their continued productive existence, the cancellation of debt. Sixth: The setting up in each country of a National Bank in the tradition of Alexander Hamilton, so that credit creation is put under the control of sovereign governments. With this, productive full employment can be achieved through investments in basic infrastructure and innovation. Seventh: The negotiation among National Banks of long-term agreements on long-term, low-interest credit to allow investments in an international infrastructure program, and projects of the World Land-Bridge such as are outlined in the report “The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge,” and as China is implementing in the Belt and Road Initiative. Eighth: The expansion of the World Land-Bridge, which creates common economic advantages for all countries, which in turn becomes the basis for a new international security architecture, taking into account the security interests of all nations on this Earth. The new name for peace is development. We, the signers of this call, are of the conviction that the system of “globalization” with its brutal vulture capitalism, has failed—economically, financially, and morally. We must make people the priority of the economy, which is not a self-service shop for billionaires and millionaires, but must serve the Common Good. The new economic order must guarantee the inalienable rights of all people on Earth. Initiating Signer, Helga Zepp-LaRouche[8] |

In a biography Sare submitted to Ballotpedia, she described her political philosophy as follows: "The United States must return to the principle of a credit system, as understood by our first Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. That means the immediate reinstatement of the original 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, breaking up the big banks, and the formation of a national bank system of public credit to fund great projects such as NAWAPA XXI, other urgently needed infrastructure, like storm surge barriers for New York and New Jersey, and the space program for defense of the Earth from asteroids, among other concerns."[11]
She continued, "Since the assassinations of both Kennedy's and the Warren Commission cover-up, our nation has been in a state of moral and economic decline. Lyndon LaRouche has been absolutely correct in identifying the 'green' movement, with its hatred of human creativity as a major factor in this. The re-election of Nero-style dictator Barack Obama, who takes pleasure in personally selecting targets for drone assassinations on a weekly basis, is evidence of the moral depravity of a substantial portion of particularly our younger generations. Only a commitment to the future of mankind could restore the optimism and sanity of our population."[11]

| "Interview on the Campaign" - Jan. 15" |
Sare wanted to impeach President Barack Obama, stating on her campaign website, "launching offensive military action by a President without the consent of the Congress is an impeachable high crime."[12]
She also wants to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, which sought to separate banks from securities firms.[13]
