| Collapse all
It started with a manger. No, I wasn’t born in one, but I was raised to believe in someone that was. This person spoke of love. Spoke of caring for others. That influenced my early views on life. I was born August 14, 1982, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and raised in a non-traditional household, with mom and grandparents trading off guard duties over me.
With those expressions of love, it would only be a matter of time before I’d be empowered to do the same.
With the average American being left behind, WE must get leadership that restores our nation's priorities and focuses on our families and communities rather than the comforts of just the wealthy.
Now is the time to act. Now is the time to lead.
Love was taught to me, given to me, and motivates me to want to create a society we can be proud of.
- Money in politics has corrupted everything, including creating the conditions that have led to voters presumably choosing between two individuals that very few want.
We, the average Americans, suffer from failures across our government, causing more friction in society than there should be.
We need leaders who put our country before their financial interests (legal bribes called donations from PACs, insider stock trading, and the revolving door between legislators and lobbyists). - Our nation is full of families and communities with many different perspectives. Health is one area of interest that affects us all, regardless of specific demographics. America is the only nation in the industrialized world that doesn’t have a version of universal healthcare. We have millions of citizens without insurance, and we are the only nation with 66% of our bankruptcies that are the result of medical debt. The world's greatest and wealthiest nation should have the greatest healthcare system. A single-payer system that removes the financial concerns during a time when our loved ones are at our most vulnerable.
- Given that money in politics is the root of our issues, we need to address the inequities resulting from it. Our economy can only be an efficient free market, forming a capitalistic structure by bringing back parity to our markets. We MUST break up the monopolies/oligopolies that have captured our markets, or we will lose our democracy, as Adam Smith warned us. We’re seeing the result with legislators being bought and paid for. Notice how very little gets done, with often little to no benefit for the majority. That’s by design. We have reached the stage in the United States of America brought to you by big business.
Having seen these up close and personal, I know how predatory they can be, which is essential if I plan to regulate them to protect free markets and our democracy.
The main idea is that all people have perspectives that have shaped their reality, but one's perspective is often a limited view of a larger world.
Once a person gains this wisdom, patience is afforded to those who may be under a similar limited perspective.
• Integrity
• Accountability
Our country is starving for people who provide more than lip service. We want genuine and authentic people. We want people to apologize for mistakes and show remorse like human beings. Most importantly, we want people prioritizing their voters rather than invest..."Donors."
Sadly, it would not be the last time our nation would be at war. I'd like to see that our youngest generation does not have to have their first historical memory be similar, but something to take pride in.
I was the only one in my store to be awarded in a statewide competition for my position at that time. While at Round Table, I did everything from answering phones and food prep to delivery.
I've been white-collared, blue-collared, and no-collared. I renovated a failed project with an award-winning design and executed the nation's largest electric meter project involving 300+ unionized workforce. I won several awards for my first company attempting to renovate an entire industry while living out of my car for several years. I have renovated homes after family emergencies.
• Banning stock trades while in office, overturning Citizens United, and ending the legal bribery that results.
• Public funding or elections
• Retroactive term limits
• Rank choice voting
• Restricting the revolving door between legislators and lobby firms.
• Universal Basic Income
• Paid Family Leave
Look how they've canceled primaries (taking away your right to vote), kept candidates like me off ballots in several states, and suppressed media coverage of Biden's challengers.
Since I've been alive, our nation has gone in the direction of war and disruption. We've seen mass displacement leading to violence and refuge-seeking.
Partnership leads to stability and peace. My administration will focus on collaboration vs just competition, starting with a reconstruction plan for Central and Latin America.
The value of organizing stability and safety has been seen in the real world. El Salvador is a prime example of how quickly things may change for the betterment of society vs prior direction.
• National security
• Legislative stale mate, when public will, is in explicit support.
• Preservation of our democracy as a Capitalistic society.
Obama - Eloquent
Trump - Self-promotion
Biden - Experience
The mind can't see what the mind doesn't know. Having all the answers is less important than having the wisdom to know you don't know everything.
If each President was afforded the opportunity to implement their platform, at least we would see what works or fails. The problem we're faced with is that iteration doesn't happen. How can we discover points of failure if little to no change is enacted?
