Top Issues

Education Abolish the CTA for ‘collective bargaining.’. Healthcare Disband the Health Departments Police Department and seize all of their fiscal assets. Housing Standardized homelessness in the state constitution as to prevent state and cities from requesting more federal funding to claim a “crisis” when there is zero public fiscal oversight. Healthcare Fire the CA Health Director and investigate the entire Health Department for malfeasance. Taxes / Budget End the Federal and payroll “income” tax indefinitely. This does not require the legislative process since Congress, in 1913 defined Capital as “labor.” Supreme Court Ruled: Butchers Union vs. Crescent City Co. (1884). Knowlton vs. Moore (1900), that taxes can only be on duties, imposts and excises. Environment / Energy The state could use already approved ‘general obligation bonds,’ which varies every year between 3 and 5 billion dollars to explore smaller delta tunnels to areas of our state where communities and cities are reliant on agriculture. Environment / Energy Expand the authority of our United States Forest Services and California Dept. Of Forestry to work in tandem in our state to better cultivate our forests in preparation for fire season and remove special interest and environmentalist groups ability to blockade and sue the USFS and CDOF for forest thinning, dead tree removal, and timber sales. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Re-institution and a fast track to the death penalty for all child pedophiles and various predators alike. I will set a clear and concise message to any MAPs (Minor Attracted Persons), trafficker, and buyer, hands off the children! Environment / Energy Fund smaller recycling reservoirs for rural communities so they can be more self-sustaining during droughts when metropolitan areas are overburdened. Abortion / Contraception Nullify AB 2223 ‘INFANTICIDE.’ This bill removed the words “crimes against nature.” That was done on purpose to get around the laws of nature and of nature’s God. That act alone puts the authors who drafted the bill and those who voted this bill to operate falsely under the color of law, in violation of their oath. Healthcare End the compliancy to the ‘Vaccine Injury Act of 1986’ as a state and its un-Constitutional grounding by removing Californians from the Tax Trust Fund for vaccine injuries. Criminal Justice / Public Safety All law enforcement agencies will have to take remedial classes to ensure they are enforcing Constitutional law and NOT statutes that abrogate or abridge the Right of the people. Defense / Veterans I can not retroactive the ‘Forever GI Bill’ for ALL honorable discharge services members, retired, separated, and reserves irrelevant of time of obligation. What I can do is use a portion of the states 20 billion dollar educational surplus and allow for our veteran’s to continue their education, at anytime they so choose to, and have their higher education paid for. They need only provide proof of their honorable discharge per their DD-214. Education Fund and support state and local research and development towards best instructional practices to assist in enhancing teacher effectiveness to be standardized in the state constitution. Immigration As governor, I will no longer allow any city or town, non-incorporated or incorporated the ability to provide “sanctuary” to any illegal alien, permanently! At one time I believed in the honesty of the working illegal alien who only crossed our borders seeking a better life. After the last few years looking into these “working aliens” the vast majority have done nothing but abuse and take advantage of our systems, showing zero loyalty to Amercia. I now have a much greater understanding of our laws and the U.S. Constitution and will ensure any and ALL city Mayors, Councils, and BOS will be fined, arrested, and prosecuted for harboring criminals and passing egregious legislation to falsely operate under the color of law. Environment / Energy We will re-open all power plants that have closed down due to green new policies, starting with San Onofre Generating Station. Healthcare Create a state healthcare policy that will allow Californians to buy and accept health insurances across our state line to create better competition and choice. Healthcare Provide quarterly data on unnecessary medical waste to Accountable Care Organization (ACO) so medical communities can make quick and decisive quality improvements on delivery of medical care. Guns Any person(s) who USED a gun in a CRIME, should be charged and held under similar restriction as cyber crimes, 18 U.S.C s 1030(e)(1). They must subject themselves upon release to probational computer monitoring, be registered like sex offenders, and be held to the same type of scrutiny sexual predators are held to UNTIL probation has ended. After such time, per the constitution, will regain their gun rights BACK! Abortion / Contraception Close down and remove Planned (Abortions) Parenthood’s ability to operate in the State of California. Taxpayers have no business paying for someone else’s desire to abort a child. Environment / Energy End all forestry and fire fighting D.E.I programs.
