| Collapse all
- Our National Debt is Unsustainable
Both Democrats and Republicans have equally contributed to this debacle. Publicly, they present themselves as competing ideologies. In practice, there is no discernable difference in outcome. In 2016, the national debt was approx. $20 trill. Since then, we’ve had two Presidents, one from each party, majorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives have flipped back and forth, and yet, eight years later, a jointly earned result.
- End Marijuana Prohibition I support ending the Federal prohibition on Marijuana. By removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act where it is listed as a Schedule I drug, the power to regulate will return to the States as provided for under the 10th Amend. Individual rights should not be judged as deserving less protection when the behavior does not hurt any other citizen’s rights. Government persecution often results in decreased economic opportunities for the persecuted, and an additional stream of revenue for law enforcement.
- Yes to School Vouchers Parents should have the last word on their children’s education. The ideology being promulgated by the current Dept. of Education is detrimental to social cohesion and is contrary to the changing realities of modern life. The pace of technological advancement is opening up education solutions faster than the antiquated central education provider can keep up with. The specific per student cost of education should be appropriately distributed to whichever, reasonably verified, educational outfit can best meet the child’s needs.
2. Legalize Marijuana - Yes to Medical, Yes to Recreational
3. Yes to School Vouchers
4. No to Emergency Powers
5. No to Qualified Immunity
6. Yes to Ranked Choice Voting
7. Yes to Independent Redistricting Bodies
