284. Politicians routinely use America's growing pains and the differences between us to push political agendas rather than upholding the fundamental civil and equal rights protections which are actually America's true strength. Political party and individual poltician's interests to remain in office and pander to the powers supporting their campaigns are often put ahead of the interests of the American people. The result is that that the poorest and most vulnerable among us become the most oppressed. For these reasons we must allow purchasing power to the people by creating jobs on American soil, and by waiving student debt and loaning dollars to small businesses at the same rate afforded Wall Street. We must communicate with our legislators and peers, and encourage them to respect the civil rights of others -- and if they prove incorrigible, we should use the power of our cell phones to share the misdeeds of those who misuse their power, ignore crimes of the State, or promise to make changes and conveniently forget about their promises once elected.
313. A failure of today's current Republican administration; as well as previous Democrat administrations; is that they have continued the agenda of allowing Section 1031 to be written into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. This was supposed to be a temporary measure in order to protect us from terrorism. However, the failure to restore our civil liberties under the doctrine of Habeas Corpus is violative of the Constitution. The basic human right of confronting one's accuser, knowing the charges against them, and of a judicial determination according to the basic doctrine of Habeas Corpus must be strengthened.
414. Complete and utter surveillance: Rulers have sought to preserve the status quo ever since there were people. And those so-called cautionary novels, 1984 by George Orwell, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley... they aren't simply something to watch out for in the future at all. The blatant outrages of complete and utter surveillance, drugging, brainwashing and steering of the people as described in those books has already happened, while today more heinous but less obvious crimes against nature and human beings are being perpetrated and enforced for monetary profit in even more insidious and subtle ways. I will always seek to enact legislation that protects our privacy.
426. The proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution: I firmly support amending the United States Constitution to overturn the hideous Citizens United and McCutcheon Supreme Court decisions.
As your representative to the federal government, I will strive to set the ship of state aright.
