Government should be an honest broker working to enrich citizens and not those of corporate sharks who steal our money at the expense of our communities. We need to stop the illegal/unconstitutional wars we have been in since 2001 along with the bankers from looting us since that time, too, and we will have hundreds of billions of dollars to repair our dilapidated infrastructure and our broken educational system too! McClatchy newspapers reported that Goldman Sachs and other international banks deliberately triggered the 2008 global economic collapse by shorting the derivatives they sold, primarily Collateralized Debt Obligations and Credit Default Swaps: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1339220/Goldman-Sachs-pay-111million-bonuses-despite-taking-billions-bailout-money.html They have been implicated in unprecedented fraud leading to the destruction of the Icelandic and Greek economies. Iceland fought back and jailed their bankers by filing billion-dollar lawsuits. We need to follow Iceland’s lead — the bankers are NOT too big to jail. Our Government's role should only be to work towards a "true" free market system whereby the economy is driven by fair and equitable competition that will ultimately drive supply and demand based on the most innovative ideas along with fair and competitive costs. Also, expose the Federal Reserve for what it is: A Privately Owned Bank which has been stealing our money with total impunity since 1913 through usury schemes designed to compound citizen's debts. Fact: Congress has NO oversight over the Fed. Fact: The Constitution mandates Congress to issue our money not the Fed!
I would introduce legislation to allow small and medium sized insurance companies to compete for healthcare contracts instead of ONLY the larger insurance companies that have monopolized the industry through Government (local, state & federal) cronyism and quid pro quo's with the help of Big Pharma and lobbyists, etc. By allowing these smaller insurance companies to compete along with stopping the pervasive back-door deals from occurring in the future, we could easily have good, affordable and accessible healthcare for our citizens. Our very healthcare system has been compromised by people and organizations who merely look at profits & not the well-being of our citizens including the elderly. Currently, approx. 440,000 patients a year die due to medical negligence in the U.S. not to mention 4.4 million to 8.8 million being injured while in the care of hospitals. Elder abuses/deaths due to hospital/hospice negligence is rapidly growing, too! This is unforgivable and must be stopped!
Immigration policy is a very tough, emotional and heated issue, no doubt! However, and although I do not want to break up families, common sense laws must be immediately implemented to protect the many "legal" U.S. citizens who are greatly impacted by the constant and unabated influx of illegal immigrants into the U.S. Unfortunately, this issue has currently reached a tipping point where our infrastructure and very way of life is seriously impacted if not irreparably damaged due to overpopulation. Our "legal" citizens should not be made to suffer because of "illegal" citizens that further strain already stressed resources. We have major traffic issues along with medical/emergency services that are overwhelmed due to immigration problems. And why are many illegal immigrants receiving Government subsidies? Sadly, many politicians don't have legal citizens' best interests in mind and subsequently U.S. residents are leaving CA due to very dysfunctional immigration policies. We have no choice but to adopt strict laws to stop addtl. illegal immigrants from entering the U.S. In 1965, Ted Kennedy and others passed the Immigration Reform Act & Americans were told the following: "Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually and the total number of potential immigrants would not be changed very much." Time has proven otherwise! Average immigration levels before the 1965 amendments took effect were approximately 300K per year. Yet 1,045,000 illegal immigrants flooded our cities in 1996 and millions more have done so since. Kennedy also stated the amendments "will not cause American workers to lose their jobs and immigration will not upset the ethnic mix of our society." Yet, look where we are in 2018! Today's population is the result of yesterday's immigration policy, and that policy is as clearly broken as its backers' assurances today are facetious. A rational policy will only come about when Americans place our national interest above irrational and unsubstantiated cries of "prejudice," "racism" and "xenophobia." It is time we vote out representatives who do not adhere to strict immigration policy and who allow for unabated illegal immigration at the peril of the U.S. and its citizens through the promotion/designation of Sanctuary City/State status without allowing the people of our cities and states to vote on these VERY important issues. It almost appears that many politicians want to give U.S. citizen status to illegal immigrants simply to increase their own voting base, and for this they should be ashamed! I truly believe the only option we have to solve the immigration problem is to build a wall to ensure the security of our nation's borders! If we don't, our very way of life and that of our children will be forever changed and NOT for the better! Let's heed the warnings of London, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, etc. who are experiencing massive crime waves since the introduction of mass immigration/forced multiculturalism. Let's not allow our politicians to continue to take us down this terrible and destructive path before it is too late!
I would introduce legislation to build additional reservoirs and water storage facilities to ensure that California has enough water storage to sustain its residents and its economy in case of future droughts. Wisely, Southern California which is relatively dry compared to Northern California, has been more attentive and diligent regarding protecting itself from future drought or water storage issues than we have in Northern California. They have built new reservoirs and overhauled and expanded old ones along with implementing extensive conservation and reuse programs and just recently, have opened a large desalination plant and are currently in the beginning stages of building at least one more. I would also legislate to STOP Government geoengineering programs that may cause extensive or prolonged droughts. Regarding ensuring public safety in our water supply, I would also introduce legislation to ensure that our water isn't flouridated which has been proven to cause cancer and bone degredation. Dr. William Marcus, the chief toxicologist of the EPA’s Office of Drinking Water, was fired for his refusal to be silent about his work on fluoride. Please read the following quote from 1985 regarding EPA scientist, Dr. Marcus, who won his lawsuit against the EPA for firing him due to his anti-fluoride studies/research: https://healthimpactnews.com/2013/epa-scientists-oppose-water-fluoridation/
"Dr. Marcus was particularly concerned about several studies showing that fluoride causes osteosarcoma (bone cancer), particularly in young men. A 2-year study was conducted by the National Toxicology Program. It documented bone cancer and cancer in other tissues in rats. This coincided with other studies documenting fluoride’s ability to cause cellular mutations, which are associated with cancer, and osteosarcomas in young men in New Jersey."
Furthermore, I would mandate a program of random independent testing for additives using mass spectroscopy at the outlets of water treatment plants to ensure public safety.
It is not surprising to read that "75% of Americans believe that the U.S. has a civility problem" when our citizens and children are constantly exposed to violence due to both U.S. involvement in foreign wars along with the constant barrage of social degeneracy being fostered and promoted by the following institutions: mainstream media, Hollywood and the music/entertainment industries. In order to rectify these endemic and systemic problems in our society, we must ask politicians, parents, teachers, community and religious leaders to form a coalition to educate their communities to hopefully work towards stopping or atleast mitigating these issues. Also, we as citizens should demand that our federal politicians stop these unconstitutional wars we are involved in and also force the FCC to implement higher ethical and moral standards to ensure they don't allow entertainment mediums to produce offensive and degrading shows which have become the norm. Our communities should also be outraged knowing that 79% of Planned Parenthood facilities are in African American and Hispanic communities. Is it a coincidence that these communities have the highest crime rates in the U.S., too? Also, addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling and pornography are growing annually and we have many youngsters addicted to violent video games put out by companies that are knowingly desensitizing our youth to violence. All of these issues contribute to higher crime and suicide rates in our communities. We must also appropriate sufficient funding for mental illness and substance abuse both of which are rapidly increasing in the U.S. Our youth must realize that abstinence, responsibility, morality, ethics/self-worth, dignity and pride are more important than self indulgence. I believe our children deserve better! Please go to my website and view my platform along with extensive information regarding U.S. human/child sex-trafficking which is a focal point of my campaign. Our children need a voice! Why would any of our representatives in Congress vote NO on H.R.1865: The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017. The FBI estimates (2016) that more than 466,677 U.S. children go missing each year, some of which are in the care of state agencies. Youtube: Conspiracy of Silence. Sex trafficking is now the second most lucrative, illegal business behind illegal drug sales. Also, SB48 mandated public schools to teach gay/transgender history to children K-12 yet, today in the same classrooms, God and church cannot be mentioned without fear of reprisal. Please read the Communists' Frankfurt School "11-STEP PLAN OF CULTURAL SUBVERSION" written in Germany between 1920-1932: (1)The creation of racism offences,(2)Continual change to create confusion,(3)The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children, (4)The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority, (5) Huge immigration to destroy identity, (6) The promotion of excessive drinking, (7)Emptying of churches, (8) An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime, (9)Dependency on the state or state benefits, (10)Control and dumbing down, (11)Encouraging the breakdown of the family. Sound familiar in 2018? Please help me right these wrongs! Thank you!
