The American government must intervene to protect the American farmer from market instability, foreign takeovers of land and resources and monopolization by industries that will not bear the true costs of their damaging effect on America's environment, farmers, workers and food supply. Family farmers must be protected in the interest of the American public. Regulations and laws that punish farmers who choose alternatives to the methods and means of large agribusiness must be changed to allow farmers to choose the methods that work best for the preservation of their land, their resources and the protection of the American food supply without facing litigation from agribusiness. Farmers facing the loss of their land, machinery and the tools of their trade must be offered low interest loans, buyback programs and other incentives to continue their efforts in the interest of the American food supply and the SNAP program must continue to operate in a manner that protects the American farmer from market instability and American citizens from food insecurity.

Investing in the health, safety, welfare, and education of infants, children, and young people must be our number one priority.

As an American citizen, resident or guest, your humanity is sufficient to guarantee that the government and its actors must treat you humanely. Our government actors are required by our Constitution to afford you access to the due process protections, resources and rights granted to you by the law. Human rights do not extend to human enterprises or tools such as: non-profits, corporations, AI and other technologies. Human rights and the rights of "the People" are for humans. The natural and economic resources required to sustain human life may not be sacrificed for the benefit of human enterprises or tools. It is critical for Congress to intervene to block, defund and impeach government actors who permit, fund or otherwise encourage violations of Human Rights within our borders and anywhere else our government actors act in the name of the American People or spend the funds of the American Taxpayer.

It is in the best interest of the American people, our service men and women and our economy to establish, maintain and encourage alliances, mutual aid pacts and economic alliances with governments that share our values, our respect for human life and human rights and will be reliable partners and allies. The safety and well-being of the American people depends on our relationships with other humans in the world and we must remain a trustworthy and reliable partner.

American taxpayers pay enough taxes to receive the best healthcare in the world, but our elected leaders only provide it to themselves. We must invest in Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare to allow all Americans to benefit in real time from the healthcare taxpayers invest in. These systems must prioritize human health and safety and deliver care based on medical necessity. We will invest in the education and training and support of our medical professionals based on our communities' healthcare needs rather than profit. To eliminate the effect of perverse profit incentives to deny care recommended by treating physicians, the government must divest from obsolete non-provider corporations and their subsidiaries.

The American tax and resource burden must be fairly and equitably distributed among our economy's beneficiaries and participants: individual, corporate and non-profit whatever the income stream. No one should be able to live like a king on the money they borrow, while their employees struggle to survive and raise their families on the money they earn. I support the elimination of the "Buy, Borrow, Die" tax loop-hole, the increase of the marginal tax rate of earners of over $500,000.00 per year and other changes to the tax code that permit those who work and worked to sustain their dignity on their savings and earnings when retired, facing hardship or facing inflation that minimizes the value of their resources.

At this time, women are not equal under the Constitution. Women across the United States have different basic rights depending on the state they live in. We support full equality, nationwide, for women and support the adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment that bans discrimination based on sex.

I will work to enforce the Constitution and establish laws that clarify that human rights and the rights of the people established in the Constitution belong only to people and ALL people and that these rights may not be infringed by Government actors or associations, corporations or foreign interests of any kind, on our soil or anywhere American resources are spent or American power is exerted.

The government must encourage investment in sustainable energy sources that minimally affect the environment and utilize free natural resources such as solar, wind and water power. Energy sources that result in extreme and ongoing environmental harm or require the use of military operations to steal the resources of other countries are unsustainable, inhumane and cost-prohibitive. Coal powered plants are an essential part of America's energy portfolio, but must be managed in the cleanest possible manner with real costs accruing to companies and those managing the plants and production themselves.

Marijuana use should not be criminalized. Any commercial marijuana product should be highly regulated. Adults should be permitted to grow marijuana for their own use. I will support legislation to defend these positions.

America's future rests with the creativity of our human children, the power of our human labor and the capacity of the human mind. Divestment from children, workers and creatives in the pursuit of technology of weak promise is an unforgivable gamble. The government must not sacrifice the privacy, welfare, health, safety and art of its constituents and citizens to technocrats or speculative technologies. We must not sacrifice the human workers, scientists, service providers and care providers that have so ably built and served our communities in every time of trouble for technology services that don't understand how to lend a hand or what a human hand looks like. Our veterans, our elders, our children, voters and taxpayers deserve exceptional service from humans who can solve problems. Contracting out our Constitutional rights and responsibilities to technology contractors and technocrats in exchange for campaign contributions, gifts and perks must not be tolerated or permitted to continue simply because "the damage has been done". Contractual benefits and access to private information must be clawed back and those who permitted abuses of the American people, their privacy and trust must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I will work to ensure that the Constitution is enforced and ensure that the resources of the American people are used for Constitutional purposes only: to educate, protect and serve the health and welfare of the American people at home and abroad, to support our families, to protect our communities and to protect our natural resources for our benefit and the benefit of our children.

The dirty water and poor soil throughout much of West Virginia is everywhere we look. West Virginians are proof that a damaged environment hurts infants, children and adults. It is in our best interest as a nation and a state to protect the environment. Our air, water, forests, mountains and wildlife are irreplaceable. Our elected officials continue to barter away the natural rights of West Virginians to raise their food, drink their water and breathe the air in safety, for speculative economic benefits and sometimes no gain at all. West Virginians' health and safety is the first chip to be gambled away for a rock or a resource someone else wants. We must fight to demand that protections for our precious natural resources be restored and extended. We must ensure that assurances do not take the place of insurance to compensate victims of disasters or pollution. We must demand reparations and contractual accountability when polluters destroy our ability to live and thrive in our communities.

The American people have a sacred trust with our service men and women. We call them and support them under the values and framework of our Constitution. We owe them assurances that we will not force them to stray from their oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution. We must assure them that the civilian leadership we chose will not be allowed to fritter away our service members' lives in cruel exploits for foreign favors or corrupt interests. We owe them the dignity of serving in the best interest of our most important values: human life, liberty, justice, equality and democracy. To our veterans we owe their prioritization in budgeting, healthcare and services. We owe them adequate HUMAN care for their mental and physical healthcare needs. We cannot soothe our consciences by shuffling veterans' needs off to technology. The diversion of the American military budget to mercenary corporate forces is a corrupting practice that violates our Constitution and the human rights of those who face extensions of American power without Constitutional restraint.

I will put forward a plan for Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare for all that ensures that patients receive the necessary care prescribed by their physicians and healthcare providers. The plan will prohibit discrimination for services deemed medically necessary. The plan will develop our healthcare resources assuring that healthcare education opportunities are given based on merit and national need. The plan will eliminate perverse and harmful profit incentives for the denial of care and eliminate obsolete third-party non-healthcare providers for taxpayer funded services.

The availability of social media and persistence of legal observers and protesters has brought us video in real time of our government's calculated decision to crack down on our First Amendment freedoms to the point of killing us in the streets. Without the commitment of hundreds and thousands of our neighbors, many of us would not have access to documentation of the Administration's actions because the Administration has acted with impunity to bribe, coerce and control many media outlets. At the same time, federal and state officials are acting in direct violation of the Constitution to establish specific religious texts in schools and funding religious institutions. Our elected leaders of every party must remember their oath to uphold the Constitution. I am committed to supporting our friends and neighbors, our journalists and a free press. We must demand accountability for actions that suppress our First Amendments Rights, education for our children that upholds the values expressed in our Constitution and an end to corrupt manipulation of the press and media outlets and unfair distribution of licensing and other FCC privileges

I will demand accountability for American funds and assets to ensure they are spent in a Constitutional manner requiring audits of the Defense department, foreign and corporate payments, investment and gifts to all elected officials. We will demand disclosure of all gifts, investments, profits, benefits or payments over $50.00 from the same person or entity to the elected person, their holdings, the holdings of their family and any affiliate and demand placement or clawback of those assets into the Treasury and custody of the American people for our benefit.

Southern West Virginians are in a decade-long water crisis and our Senators voted to send our coal severance tax funds out of state instead of sending it to Southern WV to fix the water. We will target WV cleanup funds on ready-to-go projects created by our communities. We will hold polluters accountable for harm and damages they have created.

Infants, children and young people are the true heart and future of the United States of America, and investing in their health, safety, welfare and education must be our number one priority. We demonstrate our commitment to our own future by investing in the safety and support of families, however formed, and the creation of development and trauma aware safety nets for families and children experiencing hardship. We prioritize educational resources wherever families choose to educate their children, but prioritize providing public education services that are developmentally appropriate, focus on fundamental educational skills, principles and civic and scientific knowledge that is consistent with current research and respectful of historical traditions.
