I’m anti-war: military-on-steroids makes us less secure & robs $ from infrastructure. We should adhere to The Constitution: require war B declared 2 commit troops anyplace. On finance: ban TIFs, and subsidies to sports and private businesses. 6/17

I’m pro-gun control: limit how many guns 1 person can own, ban assault weapons & clips with > 5 rounds, & enhance background checks. Also: repeal the Dickey and the Tiahrt Amendments so the CDC can have peer review studies of gun violence. 7/17

I’m anti-theocracy: ours is a multi-cultural society. All religious beliefs should be protected and none should control our govt. On “law and order”: ban private correctional corporations. Also: legalize all drugs. 8/17

We must protect civil rights. Ppl did not die so that racists could wipe away the gains brought by decades of struggle. We need to protect our voting rts. Russia - & other countries - are hacking us now. We have to stop them. 9/17

In health care we rank 37th in the World: all but 1 of 36 ahead of us have variations on socialized medicine. Call it Medicare for all, what Congress gets or single payor, it’s the same. We can pay for it w/cuts of the military budget. 10/17

We gave trillions to bail out big banks who gave their execs bonuses with that $. We should wipe out the $1.8 trillion in student loans - mostly held by big banks. That will boost the economy. 11/17

I am a lawyer. I represented plaintiffs who tried to nullify the result of the 2016 election at the United States Supreme Court. I also believe comprehensive immigration reform means we try to keep people here. 12/17

Finally, you should not say OMG a Repub! Yes - I am running in the GOP. Please read my blogs & posts of last few weeks. We can’t abandon ½ of the 2-party system to ignorance, bigotry & hatred. 13/17
