Remove barriers to healthcare interstate access to ensure competitive options & market to help initiate lower competitive pricing.
I do not support any pathway to citizenship or residency for any illegals that violated U.S. law in entering the United States. I will Fully Support President Trump's Massive deportation program!
I will support Congressional and executive action to end the environmental disaster which is the Green New Deal which would endanger all life on this planet.
The U.S. inflation rate is not 3.1% it is over 7%; regardless I would work with President Trump to lower the rate back down to 1.3% which only happened under Trump & eliminate gov agencies & pass IOR for all foriegn spending prorated.

Bringing competitive provers to compete with Comcast & ATT. That would drastically drop pricing; including building locality access connection center which municipalities would profit by leasing to providers.
Ban lobbying, foreign WEF interference, removing all protections by FED to Facebook & Google and Voter ID with paper ballots. Citizenship required w/proof.
Just because I'm Hispanic does not mean every hispanic will vote Communist Democrat. I am a Proud MAGA Republican. FYI it was racist of you liberals to send me this with that assumption. Trump 2024!
