Get StartedWar is not a game to be played for economic advantage. We must ensure that the deployment of troops and force is used solely as an absolute and final option. There should be zero doubt that a war is not for oil, gas or the crony contracts of the Military Industrial Complex. Human life is far too precious and the unintended consequences of bad decisions far too negative to accept. No one single person should have the autonomy to send the world into a waste of nuclear hell fire. Learn more
Secondly we must look to a country like Portugal which has implemented the most effective plan in the world for reducing drug related death, crime and addiction. Decriminalization, with a complete refocus on help and rehabilitation, has reduced the overdose rate from one the worst in Europe to five times lower than the European Union average. We must stop locking in cells, those that need help, for longer periods of time than rapists and murderers. Learn more
First, it is time legalize the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana, a safer, none addictive, alternative to alcohol and prescription opioids. The ban on marijuana has done nothing but halt the development of new medical treatments, created an alluring forbidden fruit, fueled a black market that drives illegal immigration and gang related activity. and over works law enforcement and prisons by accounting for the overwhelming majority of drug related arrests and imprisonments. The arguments for ending prohibition of marijuana are the same successful arguments for ending the prohibition of alcohol with the added benefit of reducing the pain of the opioid/heroin crisis.

It is the role of the Federal Government to protect Life, Liberty and the Prosperity. However the government, whether Local or Federal, should NOT be the SOLE protector of one's life. Self defense from the worst of enemies is your inherent God given right and no human should be allowed to take that from you. There have been governmental process breakdowns across the board from failure to report domestic abuse charges with the proper agencies, to FBI intervention thwarted because of a failure to act upon multiple leads. Creating more government action is not the solution to failed government action. Learn more
Yes, Health Coverage must be made more available, but how do we control the cost? The first step would be to stop restricting where people can buy their coverage and medical treatment. We must allow for cross-state insurance purchases, we must allow for use of experimental drugs, we must stop preventing competition in the marketplace by providing ridiculous protections through patents. The more people have access to treatment and supply the more they will shop, the more they shop the more aggressive the pricing, the more aggressive the pricing the more affordable the treatment or supply.

Controlled borders and legal immigration are important but we must have zero restrictions on country of origin. The patch of dirt on which one is born does not dictate the content of their character. Comprehensive checks are a must but processes must be streamlined and simplified. As with all government programs, redundancies and efficiency must be addressed. No mother or father should be separated from their child because of paperwork and arbitrary formalities. We must continue to welcome the "poor, tired and huddled masses" furthering the mission of those before us. A mission of Life, Liberty and Prosperity for all the world to enjoy! Learn more
We must rein in the careless spending of Congress and let them know that the checkbook is closed. We must demand the ability to fund our lives in the manner we see fit without having to pay for the mistakes of those before us. Our children must not be burdened with the chains of debt. It is unethical and careless to sacrifice their future for our current wants and desires. My sole purpose in life is to provide for my child and leave this world a better, and easier, place than what I had growing up. This cannot be achieved when the shackles of debt strap our children's hands and feet. Learn more
