Campaign website

Antonellis’ campaign website stated the following:

“	Putting the Beauty Back into America the Beautiful America is being attacked by the Radical Left who are stripping away the things we love, and endlessly forcing upon us to swallow the things we instinctively hate. Bob Antonellis has a plan to win the culture war, to end all the assaults on our common decency, and create a healthy sense of normalcy, so Americans can finally get back to living their lives in peace. We Must Protect Womanhood which is under direct and constant attack by Islam and the Transgender deception. Bob supports a Federal ban on Sharia Law, the burka, and the hijab, and using capital punishment for those who engage in Honor Killings and those who perform Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) procedures, whether it’s a doctor in a hospital or the janitor at the mosque. Bob will block the use of the school curricula, which confuses and converts young students, often legally minors, to changing their identities, often intentionally hidden from the parents. Bob would consider using criminal charges against those who “kidnap children from the inside out,” as well as using “Pension Purgatory” for teachers, principals, administrators, who prey on children to create a financial disincentive. We must also remove statues which are expressly anti-woman, like the “Embrace” statue on the Boston Common. Replace the Embrace Disgrace! (Read about this on his Mission page) A Domestic Energy Policy that Boosts “Made in the U.S.A.” and Provides High Paying Jobs Support the plan which returns America to Energy Independence and puts America First, where the whole world needs it to be. We need gas at $2.00 per gallon, like it was the day Biden got into office. Ban offshore and onshore windfarms in all 50 States, U.S. Territories, and U.S. Territorial waters The massive environmental devastation, onshore and offshore, is not worth the meager amount of undependable energy provided, not even counting the permanence of the landfill created. The zero net-impact to global warming reveals the whole operation was a hoax, giving billions of dollars to China and mostly foreign oil giants, like British Petroleum. Return the Offshore Drilling Licenses in the Gulf of Mexico to American Corporations When the British Petroleum oil platform exploded, deep underwater, on April 20, 2010, under Obama/Biden, offshore drilling was stopped in the Gulf of Mexico. But, when drilling resumed, thereafter, those licenses somehow went to Brazilian oil companies and other foreign entitles. Ban Bitcoin Mining from all 50 States and U.S. Territories Over 2 Billion Bitcoin/Crypto mining computers, specifically designed PC’s, run, throughout the world, 24 hours per day, and 7 days per week. These 2 billion+ machine may as well be fancy lottery machines, competing to earn a $50,000 prize (in Bitcoin) every 10 minute, or 144 times per day. Bitcoin/Crypto is driving up electricity costs in every country in the world, at best. At worst, Bitcoin/Crypto causes death of the poorest people in the world and is connected to the murder of 264 Texans, when Texas had a blackout that lasted 10 long and bloody days. The windmills freezing is only part of the story. Bitcoin mining facilities need to be shut down. Bitcoin alone uses more electricity than the nation of Poland. Bob Antonellis - Not your typical Politician Robert "Bob" Antonellis, Candidate for U.S. Senate (R-MA) ADDENDUM: We are a captured nation run by a criminal syndicate that is exploiting us. They’re not working for us. If we don’t fix this, we’re finished. Some of the problems:​ We’re being fleeced at every level, with no accountability. Fraud, racketeering and graft, are everywhere, kickbacks, bribery, blackmail. Our people are miserable under current conditions.​ “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” - Proverbs 29:2 KJV​ We can’t live like this. Things have to change. ​ Safety, Security and Well-Being Fear is Here. People are fearful. We need to face it. Let’s talk about it. Policy: End Sanctuary State status for Massachusetts and all other states. It’s destroying whole regions of the country. Re-Criminalize Crime and Decriminalize Self-Defense. It’s ridiculous now, as it is. The State of Texas is exercising its “Right of Self-Defense” with regard to the foreign invasion of its border. We stand with Texas. Self-defense, the inherent right to protect oneself, one’s loved ones, property and liberty, is a natural right that issues from God, not government. We’re being invaded by millions of military-aged men from other nations, with monthly stipends from the U.N., now here, in the States, waiting for instructions. Universal Constitutional Carry throughout the U.S., so we can defend our families. Declare deadly fentanyl a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD). Then, dealing becomes a Capital Crime. Everything changes after that. Declare MA a Sales Tax-Free State. Why? Graft. Where is the sales tax really going? Government’s sacred duty is to protect the best interests of its people. Government is servant, not master. The role of servant government is to sincerely serve the people, with true integrity and consent of the governed - not contrived. It is simple. When government serves its people with integrity and common decency, it need not fear a backlash from its people and there is no loss of face and nothing to fear. Accordingly, we cannot tolerate a government that acts as master versus servant of the people, without regard for rule of law and common decency. And, which works against the interests of its people; including our natural right to self-defend against all threats to our persons, loved ones, property, and liberty. Immediate return to common sense rule of law at every level. Subversion, lawlessness, corruption, abusiveness, by those in authority, and tyranny will not be tolerated. More to come…	”
