Alison is running for the CA-15 seat in Congress because she wants to push for legislation that strengthens family and communities, stops the squeeze on taxpayers, and demand media accountability. An informed electorate is vital to the survival of the Republic.
The original Republican Party fought for individual rights and freedoms, from the freeing and protection of the rights of African Americans, to giving them and women the right to vote and determine their own destiny. Alison will join alliances in Congress and continue to fight to establish and protect the rights and conditions that allow for the pursuit of happiness for ALL citizens.
She upholds the founding principles to maintain our founding civil liberties, a limited government and regulation, lower taxes and minimal federal intervention in the economy. The exercise of these principles lead to unleashing American creativity and potential. The opportunities that limited regulation offer and is the chief reason why people leave their homelands to come and build their dreams in America.
Government’s role is to ensure the equality of opportunities, not outcomes.
Secure borders, law and order, legal immigration, and small government lead to strong, close-knit communities to deal with the issues that concern them. Our growing state government now unabashedly invades and controls our individual and family’s affairs.
Americans are a compassionate people. The sanctuary state/city policy is not sustainable. Who Pays for it? The physical and financial burdens on limited housing, MediCal, educational, hospital costs and services delivery, as well as the environment, cannot long be borne by the citizens. While we have an asylum process in place by law, the state wants to override it and have us pay for the unaccounted numbers flowing into our communities. Crime has risen. Already struggling families cannot afford it.
Sacramento's desire for new develpment to serve its policies has overshadowed local urban planning projects. Our needs to alleviate traffic congestion, build schools and recreational areas are ignored.
Parents’ authority in matters of school choice, curriculum, content and social services must be reinstated. Parents must have full online disclosure of curricula content taught and the right to Opt-in, as in SB-673. Government can support families through the 3-month Paid Family Leave Act extended to all families, as well as indexing the $2,000 Child Tax Credit to inflation and made fully refundable. But the state takeover of parent rights and role in the social services made available at schools must be pushed back. Families must demand to be in charge of their children’s destiny.
Home ownership is on the line. The recent push to seperate and remove its protection from commercial properties in Prop-13 is only the first bite. Next will come dual-use properties and then the protection entirely removed. People will again be forced out of their homes to pay the taxes.
Small business independent contractors were turned into union employees under AB-5. It erases the personal quest to be in control of one's own destiny. It must be repealed.
Small and medium-sized businesses are also being smothered by numerous regulations that limit growth and exact costs to keep them from surviving, much less competing. Every new regulation requires more government to monitor and administrate, paid for by our taxes. The cut of thousands of regulations and rules has unleashed the recent spike in growth that the USA has not seen in decades. Statistics have shown that most regulations do not perform a public good.
Sacramento's desire to take control of our healthcare choices is concerning. High healthcare premiums can be dramatically reduced by supporting HR1418/S.350 for interstate competition, to deliver optimal services at lower costs. That will likewise impact pharmaceuticals.
Environmental issues can also most efficiently and effectively addressed with private competitive bids for low cost, high quality, dynamic responses. This will also provide for the transparency and accountability desperately needed to reign-in out of control government spending. Creating more government agencies to address them only increases the number of rabbit holes into which our taxes increase and disappear.
Licensed gun ownership is necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. An armed population prevents invasion and keeps its own government true to the Constitution. The recent spate of mass shootings by those with mental illness highlights the need for a targeted programs to identify and treat such individuals in the local community space. Untold numbers of lives have been saved by those with licensed concealed weapons, who stopped crimes in progress.
The strength of the Republic is in a well informed electorate, made up of networks of family and community. It must be protected if we are to remain a free society. We must enforce a free objective press made accountable to its licensing, and repeal all measures that are contrary to this vital mission.
Accountability and transparency in the private and public sectors are critical to consumer and citizen protection. We have an amazing document, the Constitution of the United States, that puts We The People in control.
Government SERVES the people, not the other way around.
Put Family and Community First!
