Campaign themes

2016

Childs issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:

I honestly feel that 100% of Americans earning $25.00 per hour per job or less are under-represented. I want to be their hero. Same as these Americans who get buy on less than enough income are my heroes. The rift between the "Haves and Have- not's has grown expotentionally. At one time 20% of the American Population controlled 80% of Americas wealth. Now the top 4% income earners control over 45% of the nations wealth. I can go on from here.

Change is coming, it is not warm and fuzzy, this global change is an all consuming fire. America NEEDS MY LEADERSHIP for the next 8 years. The USA is not an island unto itself. We are part of a global village, a global village needing America to provide leadership for solving our worlds many problems. With myself "This IS NOT Politics as Usual." Since I am campaigning for the US Presidency, as the preachers says, "We are in this Together." [4]

—Steven L. Childs, [1]
