Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a regular mom, nothing special, I had to raise 2 sons solo until their teens, and I have a big home and a big heart so I opened my home to homeless people over winter for many years. It is a small mini farm. I, like everyone else, was appalled at the increase of environmental, societal and economic crises over the years, and what world would my sons have? I picked up learning about the law and the medical industry and the monetary fraud along the way in my journey to understand where need to go to repair our society and the planet for fairness, cleanliness humanity and humanness. I had a limited income, and a lot of work to do, especially with one son who was on the autism spectrum, and who was emotionally mistreated at school. He especially, along with our family became the identified by name object of a local newspaper’s contribution to local corruption, after a pedophile was encouraged/allowed access to him unbeknownst to me at a meals on wheels dinner, and for the formative years from 5-7, I had to win cases pro se to put the man in jail, and to prove the Newspaper guilty of Libel with malice and reckless disregard for the Truth. This was an primer education in local corruption. Because my sons’ issues took my full time devotion, I began to get involved politically, and learned about our constitution, our founding fathers, and the true undermining of our republic by corporate banking powers. I began to develop and seek out answers, and see where solutions lay.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Create a massive increase in farms, community farmsteads,micro farms, small and medium farms, all designed to produce clean, regenerative, organic, humanely raised food, and fund the skill training for new people to occupy them and farm full or part time, as a small community or upon private property. In that case reduce taxation by productivity. End property tax for all existing organic and regenerative and clean farms (farms who refuse to use chemical pesticides – gmo seeds, Round Op etc.) Why? Because these farms are solving for climate change in the most direct way- ending shipping of food across continents and oceans (some chickens are shipped to China for processing and shipped back believe it or not) and reducing health care costs,
Ending Governments encouragement of helpless, hapeless Vermonters as a means to justify increases in taxation. Too many NFP’s and Government hires make money on down and out Vermonters on the pretext of humanitarianism. Once again Farms are the solution, land security for life to those homeless who are willing to learn to farm and learn more hands on skills supportive of clean Natural food and handmade products. Farms for response to addiction, and to recidivism, as well a new community farmsteads to age in place. I will lead A Taxpayers Bill of Rights to ensure that government is not violating the prohibition on indenture instructed in Art 1 of the VT constitution.
If you are not yet aware, the US is the worlds' biggest hub for child sexual trafficking, Vermont is a secret hotbed. The elite good ole boys use children as currency as proof of prerequisite cruelty and ruthlessness of next generation ‘leaders’, or they set up and blackmail all others. This is why the whole of congress is captured by the warmongers, although the people do not want war. War profiteering is promoted across political parties. We, the People must declare a new path forward, and I have light to shine on the way. Our government is not now a republic, rather a corporate conglomerate. It does not uphold the rights or the wellbeing of the people. We, the People must rebuild anew for prosperity, health, and creativity.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Create means for all good people to have the money they need to do the things they want to do, and to help more people realize that the banking system issuing money as debt is designed for scarcity and will fail us. We are at the onset of a chance to redo how we do money so that the people are not harmed by greed, rather empowered in their personal path to create support for humanity. I have designed a path for we the people to manage the money supply, and take it out of singular hands that become corrupted by the power. When we apply ourselves to increasing our farms, Please watch the Biggest Little Farm, our lives will become freer, more relaxed, and our lives less stressed, our communities safe places for children and elders.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Ghandi, MLK,

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Little Biggest Farm Movie, and The Ringing Cedar Series by Vladimir Megre, especially books 4 thru 6., The Constitution, and indigenous wisdom, Web of Debt book Ellen Brown, Classified Woman by Sibel Edmunds, G Edward Griffin, the Creature from Jekyll Island, the Matrix Movie, Mother Earth Magazine, etc etc.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Dedication to We, the People, and capacity to call out corruption, and to love people of all persuasions, and look out for the good of all, not just some of the people. A person uninterested in getting rich by politics, rather interested in a better world a safer world for all children.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Truth speaker, and nurturer.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Speaking truth. Incapable of being bribed or blackmailed.

What legacy would you like to leave?

TO guide, not unlike Harriet Tubman, the people to freedom, security and responsibility for each other and their planet.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The Beatles, Death of JFK, 4.5 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Counter as a 16 year old. A summer.

What is your favorite book? Why?

I do not have a favorite, I have many. I like blink by Malcolm Gladwell a good deal, I have already named the Ringing Cedar Series by Vladimir Megre, I like Delores Cannon books, The one I just finished. Stolen Focus, By Johann Hair, Know your straw man and that whole series by Robinson.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

a dolphin.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Nearer my God to Thee, performed by the BYU vocal point, and

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Being hindered, silenced and made invisible as a woman, being shamed for lack of "beauty' as the standard would suggest, being discounted because of my sex at birth.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Mutual Obedience to the Constitution. The Legislature must not enable a Governor to disregard the constitution, the Nuremberg Code to enact policies that favor big pharma and big surveillance. The Ideal relationship is to have state reps create meeting opportunities in their regions that the Governor attends to interact with the people. Each needs to reduce their burden on the people, and help the people solve their problems win a favorable economic climate. It would be best if parties were not permitted and everyone was an independent.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Dealing with local bad actors who engage in a variety of crimes against humanity, including trafficking, and biowarfare, law fare and undermining the financial wellbeing of the People. The hypnosis by media to create a chasm as if we the people are the problem, when in fact the elite have designed controversy to divide and harm the people.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe in term limits. The longer you are in government, the more likely you are serving the corporation that we call government and not the people. I believe in the wisdom of the salt of the earth, rather than the profiteering of corporations that create problems to 'solve' them at their own advantage. WE are going to see a sea change, and it will be revealed just how criminal it is. How criminal the FDA is, to promote injections that pharma knew would create a massive increase in all cause mortality. 11%, post injection. How criminal the industries are that would harm the people, even kill them to promote their own power. I believe that a purge is ahead, and the people need to reclaim governance that will not allow for other men to hold power over others. We are all spiritual beings having a physical experience, and while we want to belong, we need to belong to the side of God, of good, of Nature and of humanity. Not the side of child traffickers, war mongers, bioweapon users, liars and ruthless narcissists. That is why I describe a path to rebuild our food supply for humanity, We the people must rebuild our world from the soil up. We the people must step into our big boy pants and end our idiotic support for those who undermine our planet and our people. I am here because I have developed ways that the people can use to reclaim the economy for the good of all. ALL, not the good of the few, of ALL.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

I believe in relationships that are built on truth, and those that are built on mutual advancement at a cost to others is no relationship worth having. The only relationship that is truly important to me, is the relationship I have with God, and to the extent that I share that relationship priority with others, and to the extent that others serve the highest good of Nature and People, I am certain we will be connected. I will have a different relationship with those who are in government for self aggrandizement.
The only relationship that worthy is the self to the truth, the good of all, and the self to the constitution, if others are not committed to these our relationship will not be cozy. everything is related, dear ballotpedia, we are ALL connected.

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

No, we haven't had women who I can model after who have been leaders, most of them are allowing for the continuation of corporate rule. I have plenty of women I admire and plenty of men I admire and some of them are political, others not, I do not model myself after them, I model myself according to the work I am inspired to do, and the encouragement of my spiritual connection with Nature and Source wisdom. I would say I admire Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, and current truth speakers like Dr McCullough, and Dr Stella, and I admire the fortitude of the organic and regenerative farmers who love the land with the sweat of their brow. I don't model myself after them, because as I have made abundantly clear, our systems, political, economic, medical, legal, educative have failed humanity, and I need to be looking for a peaceful and resourceful route to repair our society for Nature's favor. I need to break out of the mold of political entities, just like a bird breaks through a shell to learn to fly. I am here to help us fly. I am not here to fly above anyone else.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

As I have said, our current system is self destructing. If my leadership is worthy of note, the people know where to find me and employ it.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Deaths of people after being coerced to take an experimental injection that was instead a bioweapon. People made poor by taxation.

Tell us your favorite joke.

congress

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

As I have said, our current system is self destructing because of the abuse of power it has displayed.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

Constitutional amendment for Food sovereignty as passed by Maine, however, I doubt I will be elected by the current methodology. I want to see technology used so that the people can propose the things they need done, and then representatives fulfill the will of the PEOPLE>

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

God, that's the sole endorsement I seek, to do good before God.

What committees interest you?

Gov ops, agriculture, and energy.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

I see we are at the start of redo of government, and we need to look at new technology aiding we the people to be involved in self governance. No longer can we trust our constitution or our future in the hands of the corporate conglomerate we have now. Even though the founding fathers were brilliant, they left some important things out, and we can additionally utilize technology to bring government to mutual governance, such that the will of the people is enacted and our rights as humanity inspired and motivated by Source God is promoted, preserved and served by those the people week to represent them. When we create better solutions for management of our mutual means of exchange ( money supply), than to leave that important function in the hands of crusty ruthless men, then our society will begin to truly heal. As it heals economically, and money is not equivocated as personal power, rather as a means to creative expression of personal purpose, our relationship with Nature and other beings will improve and become more rewarding, as well as our interrelations with other countries. The nurturing capacity of humanity will be enhanced, and schisms perpetrated by a media in the hands of the powers that thieve humanity of its higher expression, will be smoothed out. This speaks to the imbalance of male and female in the decision and implementation of governance, our founding fathers were impressed by the Iroquois 6 Nations, and used many of their principles in our Constitution, regarding having congress issue and manage the money supply, and the fact that God is the sole source of authority with regard to constitutional rights, not government. However, the Iroquois had a special role for grandmothers, it was the grandmothers who selected leaders, they could see the quality of character best, and the grandmothers who decided if the tribe(s) would head to war, as they also understood the value of the lives they risked. Somehow nurturing wisdom must return.

Would a state ballot initiative process be good or bad for your state?

State ballot initiative? I need more information than that. Without describing the process you apparently are advocating for how could you suggest I endorse it???????
