To whom it may concern,

  We are all concerned about the going on around the world and the conflicting nature of our lawmakers/representatives. My goal is to bring people together rather than divide them further. I see that the push and pull amongst constituents trickles down and that angst spreads through the spirit of each of us. Vast and cutting maneuvers ousting policies and instituting interests. In effect not moving the needle for the people, instead sinking further the line in the sand. I find it has been ineffective because there is a good solution to many of the issues we face. What we see is the party personality outweighing its principle. One wants to inflict a blockade on the other to an extreme which nullifies any future effort by the perceived opposition.

  Miscommunication in world affairs has been a large factor in our human history. It seems though, at this time, the same sort of indiscriminate behavior has been brewing here at home. At a time and place in civilization where communication and clarity are at a monumental stage. We should be embracing this revolution in connectivity.

  Reforming our prison system is often at the top of the list. The stories that spark the initiative revolve around the family structure. The core concept is to repair our sociological relationships and end mass incarceration. Building both equity and ensuring the equality promised by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We are stepping up to the challenge in a few ways.

  DNA Testing.

  My opinion is that the perception of incarceration will no longer be a scarlet letter to any man or woman. I do believe that regular jail time does have benefits for people. I also do not wish for any young persons to believe that incarceration is a pathway to learning a trade or getting an education. That is not a good mindset and an extremely faulty cultural presentation for prison reform. The exception in my eyes would be reading and writing skills. We are lacking in these disciplines as a nation and that has been weaponized against us.

  In ‘my reading’ of the constitution our second amendment protects more than just firearms. Unfortunately with a minor slip-up in discipline or a slight miss-step in routine handling, the result is a fatal accident, not a fender bender. A path could incorporate renewals in safety and instruction. Unlike driving which is a privilege the Second Amendment is a right.

  Accounts of Adverse Possession, commonly called squatters' rights, coming into conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment are taking off. In today's climate, this should not be the ‘grey area’ it has become. Property theft in such a way, being billed as a colloquial ‘loophole’. Things have changed with the flux of the population. Too much leniency here is outdated.

  The Family Medical Leave Act needs to be protected. If not only for the expansion of the Nation's appreciation towards our pregnant and new mothers & fathers. Today we have a better understanding and our common welfare should come first.

To whom it may concern,

  The past year has allowed us to all see the shadow tactic and not much else. The Seventy-Five Billion was a shameless trickling investment in a war. While simultaneously wishing to raise taxes. The ideology that raising taxes without representation is against the principles of this Nation. We all now see why this is a suggested path. We want people to buy bonds instead and fund public works.

Our plan for American Healthcare:

  A great point is to recognize what we are doing right. The Emergency response to any health crisis on American soil is the best on the planet. The fault in associated costs is placed squarely on insurance companies. Your insurance company is a form of privatized socialism with decades of statistical data and experience. An effective alternative is a meantimes plan of action. For example, at this moment in time: ‘A heating and cooling man or woman working to keep our family warm and grandma safe from heat stroke can not rely on health practitioners to 'fix' them.’ Unfounded confidence as such is interrupted once an individual finds themselves as dependent.

Independence: In Case of Emergencies: Americans can not rely on the Healthcare system as a safety net for personal shortcomings. It is just a matter of fact. And a conservative value that I believe many Americans hold and something that is in our plan to nourish.

Community: Plenty of good: Our younger generations are taking personal health more seriously. A culture of recreational activity and fitness is having a renaissance. Place the focus on these aspects because these are local humanitarian efforts. And they have been ramping up organically across the country. It shows that someone cares about you.

Precaution: The numbers do not lie: Infections, Wound occurrence, Malpractice, Fraud, etc. The list could go on. The federal and private insurance companies have an endless stream of data. The resultant concludes that it is best to avoid poor health decisions and be more careful. No amount of taxes collected and funneled into healthcare can gap the coverage between personal responsibility and what healthcare workers are capable of.

Preparation: This is the crux of our solution: The capacity to fully comprehend and utilize the human body through educated practice and repetition. You should consult a physician*, prior to hanging a hat on the ideology that physical activities are ‘not for everyone’. It is known that there is an alarming socioeconomic concern regarding personal health.

To whom it may concern,
  Here are the values I have for putting the country first.

  Education; Obtaining knowledge is a noble pursuit and service to the Nation, Society, Community, and your family. Promoting this ideology can change the world one person at a time. Societal gains are personal gains of elevation and enlightenment. Understanding that preparatory work is essential to building a foundation. The paradox of education. The world needs people to dig the ditches, pour the concrete, cut the rebar and do the hard work. Farming is not a mindless task. Starvation is a real possibility. Choosing education is not to overcome hard work or substitute getting dirty. It's about doing things better, faster, and cheaper.

  The threat of War; There is no fairness in war. I stand on the principle that balanced solutions to all problems are possible. Often restraint is viewed as a weakness. Practicing restraint is the prowess of peace. Someone is always watching, waiting to go behind the backs of the United States and undo what we have done. We have made progress recently so as not to spread too thin. And as I have spoken previously, we are at war in America, on our soil, classrooms, and homes. The fight is for the American mind, the American dream, and our American futures.

  Eco-Terrorism and War on Drugs. Shifting from neglect to focus. We know the systemic effects of drugs and pollution. We live it. And yet the hubris in thinking we as humans could change the solar system or the past. We can no longer meddle with the fabric of reality. We must move into accepting defeat, making the about-face. Be gentle.

  How I am offering to serve the country is to report back to people on my findings. What I have laid out in this value-based plan is a fair approach. These seminal topics and my strong faith in them come from historical evidence. We have all watched as these essential underpinnings decay to the point of being compromised. The structure generally is unsound.
