Campaign themes

2016

Bonpasse highlighted the following themes on his campaign website:[4]

Wrongful convictions

Excerpt: "Through improvements in the law enforcement and judicial systems, the U.S. must effectively stop wrongful convictions by bringing their frequency from the current level of approximately 2% to a level of .1% of convictions/inmates or fewer before the end of this decade."

Environment

Excerpt: "The U.S. should support programs to bring the U.S. and global birth rates down to the levels of the death rates in order to bring population growth to ZPG (Zero Population Growth) as soon as possible, and then to continue to support lower birth rates to return the global population to an Earth-sustainable one billion."

Economy

Excerpt: "To enhance the stability of the global financial system and to reduce its cost, the United States should embrace the development of a Single Global Currency to replace the U.S. dollar."
