Collapse all
|I have been a peace advocate, as long as I can remember. With almost every Democratic and Republican members of Congress agreeing on most domestic and foreign policy issues, I stand opposed to their unconstitutional and evil (they support killing men, women, and children) foreign policy, which impoverishes the American people at the expense of the richest political cronies.
- I support ending all taxpayer-funded weapons sales and aid to foreign governments, which is illegal under Article I, Section VIII of the US Constitution. If people IN the US would like to support foreign governments, they should be able to do so, without forcing all US taxpayers to foot the bill for their personal projects.
- I support introducing competing currencies and abolishing the Federal Reserve to reduce inflation and increase the value of your money and savings.
- I support making healthcare affordable by removing cost-boosting federal insurance mandates.
foreign policy, civil liberties, the economy, immigration
The principle of following the US Constitution should be the most important principle for any elected official.
The core principle for someone elected to this office is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The greatest challenge in the next decade would be to finance both the Welfare State and home and the Warfare State abroad. I strongly believe that within a few years, it would become economically unbearable for the American people to pay for both, so when choosing between shutting down medical aid to the grandma at the hospital and the Warfare State, the Warfare State would have to go.
The issue is not the term limits, but the policies that undermine the economic and social well-being of the American people.
There can be no compromise with principles or evil (murder).
The only functions of Congress are the ones that are outlined in Article I, Section VIII of the US Constitution.
