| Collapse all
I have left the Democratic Party, which is NOT supporting a democratic process in this election, and I seek to be the standard bearer for a revitalized California Republican Party.
- Create the $5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank! Public Credit without new debt
- Solve the homeless disaster
- Address the new crime and new violence wave effectively
I have been a proponent of a modern re-industrialization of the United States since 1992. I have been a field organizer for a national and international economic and cultural renaissance for nearly 30 years. I have lived and worked in all parts of California and 25 other states throughout the country.
Robert F. Kennedy. His 1968 campaign was the most honest and open attempt I have seen (on video and in books) for a real modern, philosophical, inspiring campaign.
We need more effective leaders who are not afraid to take the issues out into the public, the way that the new Senator Robert Kennedy did. I highly recommend the Netflix documentary Bobby Kennedy for President.
Like Abraham Lincoln and Robert Kennedy, I wish to contribute deeply and effectively to the Public Good before I expire.
The violence in Lebanon, 1982. My first exposure to war, on television. It bothered me to my core and I needed to understand why.
The Collected Works of Shakespeare, because it has close to everything you need to know in one book.
There are ZERO term limits in the original Constitution and that is how it should be, even for the Presidency. The term limit is supposed to be VOTING.
Article One of the Constitution is about our bicameral system; it is the longest Article in the Constitution. It is the forum for ideas and leadership yet it has not functioned that way for years, decades. I seek to restore that role to the Senate.
It certainly can be and should be, but we have had a sustained breakdown of our polity in the United States for 53 years now.
