Congress has an 11% approval rating! It is time to hold all our representatives accountable and deliver fresh ideas and new people to catalyze stability and collaboration in Washington. Here are my main issues:
Jobs & Economy:
Improve our economic stability and increase job accessibility for everyone. There is no single answer, but essentials include separating hedge funds from traditional banks to re-invigorate loans for small businesses, fix each individual mortgage one at a time, and invest in innovation and new markets.
Citizenship:
The Foundation of this country is immigration. To not allow a simple and open path to citizenship is un-American.
Sustainability:
Implement Integrated Sustainable Design, where we re-think everything we make in terms of what it becomes after it is done being used.
Integrity:
Integral Government starts with integrity in elections. I am running a non-partisan, no-direct-money Campaign. We need to get partisan politics out of Washington, and get dirty money out of politics!
Direct Democracy:
With 21st century technology we will have real time interactivity between the people and the government on every issue. Voting once every 4 years, and then just hoping that everything gets fixed, is not working. Citizens need direct communication and collaboration to guide our representatives towards the right decisions, not to just let them do whatever they want.
The 99%:
Break up the BIG banks
Checks on Corporate and Government Power.
Empower Local Communities.
Freedom for individuals guaranteed by the constitution.
