Issues

Issues:

Election Integrity.
I am all for for secure & transparent elections.
I am against rank choice voting.
I am against candidates “buying” their way with signatures onto the ballot.
I am against non-citizens voting in any city, county, state or national elections.
I am for letting The People educate themselves and vote caucus/convention.
Housing, Property Taxes and Fiscal Responsibility
Keep families in their homes and allow them to have small businesses without being pushed out with double-digit annual tax increases.
We need to audit where all the money is going and stop city, country & state contract kickbacks.
Support services without wasteful spending on the backs of taxpayers.
Homeownership, not high-density housing, is closer to the American Dream for most.
Go back to a zero balance spreadsheet to be re-evaluated annually for budgeting.
Immigration
Immigration Then: Came thru Ellis Island, tested for illnesses, and contributed to this Great Land.
Immigration Now: After allowing millions of undocumented, untested, unvetted persons into the County and many killing, raping and stealing billions in taxpayer dollars, we now have some judges allowing convicted illegal criminals free in sanctuary cities. How does this protect US Citizens or add value to Our Country? We have a responsibility to us first. I would not dream of going to another country and expecting taxpayers to fund my nice housing, give pocket cash, free food, educate my children, get free medical care, get a drivers license & social security number (where applicable), etc. AND vote in their country while wishing death to their military & civilians! While I am compassionate to those who come legally, I am not for any of this funding – time to eliminate the incentives. Imagine how much taxpayer dollars would stay in our pockets!!
Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness
Life – I am pro-life and pro-adoption over abortion.

Liberty – We cannot have true liberty if the government is in nearly every aspect of our lives. That is not true freedom! If we look to the government to solve all our woes, than we are slaves to a system that for some get stuck there in the hand-outs instead of hand-ups. Too much power tends to corruption. Elected Officials are to SERVE US above themselves, not the other way around. “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for you country.” (JFK, 1961).

Happiness – comes in many forms and has a different meaning to each individual. For me it comes thru God, Family, Country, Love, Friends and so many little things. I hope for none of us that it comes from government over-reach.

People Vs Government
So many issues need to brought to The People to vote on (ballot) and not just relay on a few elected representatives to control so much of what gets pushed through even after The people have spoken. People say they don’t want something and have valid reasons why and yet their voices get silenced for some agenda.

Policy over personality.

Term limits vs career politicians.

We should ask if each item really truly belongs to the government.

Education
All for parental choice – public school, public & private charter school, home schooling.
Fiscal audits & accountability for unnecessary school administration would save taxpayer dollars.
We need to teach children how to be prepared for adulthood.
College for some occupations and encourage trade school as well.
Stop school indoctrination with sexuality in books, stop pushing gender dysphoria – this is not the job of the education system. Children do not need to live in a bubble but should maintain some innocence. They need reading, writing, math, budgeting, entrepreneurship, accurate history, basic survival skills and some options like music, art, sports, etc.
We should not send our children to school to learn to take political sides.
Digital Drivers License (see this link: Real ID).
This should have been optional and not mandatory.
Many people have passports to enter federal buildings and airplanes and should have the ability to opt out!
Miscellaneous
I care about funding law enforcement, EMT, Firefighters, C,E.R.T and First Responders with reasonable accountability over lining the pockets of bureaucrats.

I care about the boundary mapping of voting districts and we should be leaving out all non-citizens and fix the voter roles to not include the dead or people that have moved away. There should be fairness and not give candidates of any political party an unfair advantage or even the appearance thereof.

Food Ingredients – People should have free agency to decide what to eat for themselves but we need clear labeling and safer foods without a confusing word salad that most don’t even understand a large percentage of the labels.

Voting – It makes common sense, especially that we need ID for nearly everything (such as employment verification, renting cars, buying a house, open bank accounts, getting medical services, buying medications, age-restricted purchases, marriage & divorce, etc), and therefore should do so for voting as well. The only people it would disenfranchise are non-citizens who shouldn’t vote anyway or the tiny percentage that are too lazy to make sure they are properly registered.

Constitution & Bill of Rights
I am pro-Constitution.
1st Amendment – Freedom of Speech (different from threatening, severe hate speech), religion, press (although I trust very little of the current press), assembly (peaceful not violent), and petition.
2nd Amendment – Right to keep arms (uninfringed) (obviously background checks & safety classes are lawful)
5th Amendment – Right to due process.
9th Amendment – Rights not explicitly listed (enumerated) in the Constitution are still retained by the people.
10th Amendment – Powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people.

These and other rights ensure that the government operates within legal limits and respects the fundamental freedoms of its citizens.
