Priority Issues:

I WILL FIGHT FOR FAIRNESS
for the 99% plus the 1%
Fairness includes:
-Everyone who is law-abiding must be included in our economy and workforce and have a living wage.
-I support global free trade but it must be Fair Global Free Trade.
-A quality education system for our children.
-The purpose of both the public and private sectors is to serve the public, not to serve management
-The purpose of business (the private sector) is not excessive profits but to serve as a tool to provide public services.
-We must develop clean alternative sources of energy, especially renewable energy sources.
-Supporting our troops and veterans economically and financially.
-I would have voted against starting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the bank bailout.
-Immigration laws should be enforced focusing on those who hire (and exploit) persons here illegally.
-I am Pro Life. (Abortion should be allowed only in cases of rape, incest, or an extreme health risk to the mother. That extreme health risk should be limited to life-threatening risk until medicine can give us a better definition.)
-We need universal health care, we must provide care to everyone from infants to seniors.
-A fair tax system which should be progressive for higher incomes. This will slowly eliminate the deficit and payoff the debt.
-I support gun control, allowing guns for self defense, hunting, and target practice. However, extremes such as 100 round clips aren't needed nor are fully automatic weapons.
-Ranked choice elections and campaign reform.
