2016

The following issues were listed on Jones' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Economic Revitalization: We have holes and pockets of abandoned buildings from government take- over, poor accountabilities, global loss through NAFTA & TPPA, weakened unions, distressed municipalities, and imbalanced trading. I have a strategic revitalization of multiple industries, and an implementation program that will benefit the unemployed, returning vets, senior citizen, disabled, single parent, new technologies, renewable energies, hydroponics & aeroponics, organic and GMO free production within urban areas. Health Care: Options, truly affordable, prescription expenses, alternative support, naturalpathics, doctor’s visits, and urgent care. Obamacare was built on a failed platform. The government never wanted to take care of its citizenship. This administration wants access and distribution to reserve dollars. This process is so obvious and so easy to evaluate and resolve! Immigration Reform: It is not surprising and completely understandable why the world wants to live inside our borders. America was built on the beauty and diversification of immigration. Banning and Building can create great animosities, but the greatest flaw is in informational processing, visa tracking, and an imbalance of freedoms and benefits. I think charities and free enterprise would be more efficient, and sponsorship would affect accountabilities. Constitutional Awakening: Over the last 50 years many of our Constitutional rights have been violated, manipulated, and completely ignored and misinterpreted. Every law we create only weakens our Constitution. Many states have been disrespected, and certainly its citizenship denied due process. Government Misappropriation: Accountability is something Congress has struggled with for many years. Let alone having laws about insider trading, yet a good portion of Congress and the Senate have grown amazing net worth through the facades of laws for personal profit and pork belly covers.	”
