| Collapse all
- Universal Basic Income
- End the wars
- Act on climate change
UBI will expand the flexibility of our current welfare far beyond its current limits and will improve the lives of millions of American's around the country. Including those displaced by technology.
You may have seen my work before on YouTube.
I actually discovered the idea of UBI at this time.
The fictional character of Bail Organa is awesome too.

Campaign website
Blevins' campaign website stated the following:
| â |
FREEDOM DIVIDEND Alaska has set up the Alaska Permanent Fund, which is a form of Universal Basic Income. Every year the oil is taxed and redistributed to the people in the form of a $2000 check. The freedom dividend will tax data, technology and luxury items to give everyone $1000 a month. This policy is estimated to grow the GDP by about 12%. MODERNIZE OUR EDUCATION When young adults graduate high school they are not prepared to enter the workforce. We need to implement a K-14 schooling system that includes courses on technical skills and engineering to provide a smoother transition into the workforce. END THE WARS The United States is currently at war in 8 different countries. Costing 507,000 lives (mostly innocent civilians) and 6 trillion dollars ($6,000,000,000,000) since 2001. The only thing these wars have accomplished in these past 18 years is making our enemies stronger. MEDICARE FOR ALL The United States is the only modern country that doesnât guarantee healthcare to its citizens. Have you ever rationed medication or delayed an appointment because you couldnât afford it? For citizens in Canada, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and many others; that is unthinkable. CLIMATE CRISIS Stanislaus County receives a billion dollars of revenue per year from agriculture of almonds. Our scientists are saying that our crop yields are expected to drop by 40% within the next 3 decades. This is unacceptable, but itâs not too late. We can prevent or slow down a climate crisis by investing in advanced technologies.[2] |
