My Top 3 Priorities
- Problem: POLITICAL DIVISION Our country is torn apart into sides that don't recognize each other as American. Solution: BRING BACK CIVICS Our kids barely study U.S. government. Let's teach them - and ourselves - more civic virtue.
- Problem: SYSTEMIC INCOMPETENCE Our politicians serve their biggest donors first, putting real people last. Solution: STOP STATE GRAFT Ban contributions to state politicians from any organization that does business with the government.
- Problem: BROKEN CAPITALISM Our largest companies dominate our lives and ignore the value of real people. Solution: PUT PEOPLE FIRST Capitalism produces human progress when everybody has a chance, not just big companies.
