| Collapse all
Our campaign is about providing each American with the human dignity they naturally deserve.
We believe healthcare, housing, & education are rights bestowed onto individuals at birth.
This campaign is founded on principles & morals.
Not on money.
We believe in helping people reach their maximum potential.
Instead of corporations reaching their maximum profit.
- Dignity for All
- Principles & Morals
- Policy that helps people live, not corporations profit.
It's time we extend human rights to include healthcare, housing, education, & income.
For there is no freedom, without physical, mental, & financial security.
It's time to expand social security, medicare, & education in both trade schools & universities, to all.
Our campaign's founded in principles & morals.
It's evident in our policy that we believe in empowering the individual.
We must allow each American to live with the dignity they deserve from birth.
We look up to policy that enables individuals to better themselves, in order to contribute their full potential to America.
Humanitarianism. Altruism. Populism.
In short, putting people before profits.
Capital in the Twenty-First Century - Thomas Piketty
The United States House is unique in that each district represents voters who are more homogenous than statewide elections.
This enables representatives to push their populist goals, or lack thereof, to a maximum.
The position is unique in that it brings out the utmost best in each representative, or absolute worst.
There's no prior government or political experience required for representatives as designed.
This is the most important aspect of American politics because it allows ordinary people to fight for what's right.
All that's required to be an effective legislator, is walking a day in the average American shoes.
Navigating America's ruthless for profit healthcare system or living without insurance, is qualification enough to legislate.
The greatest challenge to the United States is consolidating corporate power in the hands of workers.
During the past 40 years, trickle down economics has ravaged the livelihoods of too many Americans.
It's time to lead with people driven principles in mind.
Not with corporate profits in mind.
