I believe it is the duty of a citizen when called to serve.
-
I believe that the authoritarian state wants us to isolate, to believe that the problems are so large and complex that mere citizens are incapable of understanding the nuances and don’t have the background to make rational decisions. We should say to them we have not ceded these powers to you. You do not have the authority to rule without my consent. You were elected to represent me against the power of the government, not act like an extortionist and pass laws to harm me, my family and livelihood, then turn around and tell what a great job you’re doing protecting me.

I am running to speak for the disenfranchised, from the low income citizen to those that are financially sound. The counter voices are systematically silenced by the cry bullies and the accomplice media.
-
My platform is to repeal and defund the policies and programs that the super majority has passed and are destroying the state and the lives of its citizens.
-
I am running against the Big Crime Lobby. The democrats' legislative goals is to make our streets safe for the criminals.
-
I am running against the Death Lobby. The democrats have passed and proposed legislation that denies a mother the choice of life consoling, promotes pre and post pubescent programs that not only promotes life altering procedures, but increases the incidence of suicide, without the notification of their parents. Their solution to any addiction is to enable the addict through government run dope dens, distribution of anti-overdose drugs, legalization of gateway and drugs that have a high propensity of overdose. and needle exchanges. Finally, they are now proposing to allow assisted suicide for those that they deem have nothing to contribute to their families and neighbors.

I'm running against the Empty Gesture of our Sanctuary state. This policy is why border states are shipping illegals to the state. This is the greatest reason that good paying union and non-union jobs are under pressure and at risk. The second reason these jobs are at risk is the hikes in the minimum wage. Special needs workers are especially vulnerable to having their wages and hours cut.
My view is that the government, the unelected bureaucrats, the free riders feeding at the public trough, and the Democrat party are the problem, not the citizens.

The only way to reduce taxes is to stop spending money. The first thing I would propose is to end automatic increases to the budget and challenge funded programs and departments that serve no purpose.

We are in the midst of "1984" where the racists and antisemites have convinced people of good intentions that if they stand up they will be called hateful names that do not reflect their hearts and values. There are systematic programs in place that are meant to silence people of good conscience. We need to expose these programs through free speech, not through suppression. These hateful and autocratic groups must be let to expose themselves. BLM and their supporters must not be given a free pass when they call for “occupation to liberation” and try to convince people that it is different than “from the river to the sea”. It is not just the Jews that are being attacked, it is all people who are guided by the moral principles given to use by our Creator.

I would propose the end of social promotion. Beginning with that a student must be competent at a third grade level before they are promoted to fourth grade. The Wall Street Journal reports that while standardized test scores have been going down since before the pandemic, the grade point averages are going up. Our public schools are purposely graduating students that they know are not at grade level. The autocratic state needs an uneducated populace to survive.
-
We need scholarship programs, not just programs that are sanctioned by the state. Whether it is purposely misinterpreting the first amendment, misstating the cost of charter and voucher schools, or using diversity, equity, and inclusion to foster a grievance society that runs counter to our founding principles. The only thing you cannot steal from a person is their education.
-
Education Savings Accounts (ESA) have shown good returns in the states that have instituted them. Education funding tied to the student, either with ESA or scholarships like Invest In Kids, will focus on the student and put their family in charge of the product that is delivered. It will eliminate wasteful bureaucracy that sucks money out of the classroom. People who stand in the way of educating our citizens must be moved out of the way.
-
There is a movement in the country to fund the student and not the school. This requires the elimination of all aspects of the Blaine Amendment, both implicit and explicit. This also means the removal of all state mandates of programs that do not promote the core skills of education, reinstate mandatory education of state and federal civics and teach basic personal and family finance.
-
I would add that we know that the three attributes needed to be a good citizen and escape poverty are 1) graduate high school; 2) have a job; 3) wait to be in a committed loving relationship before having children.
We have the numbers to win, all is needed is for people of conscience to come out of their houses and vote, to knock on their neighbors’ door and convince them to vote.
