I was born in the West Bank and grew up in Saudi Arabia, so I know first hand the dangers of an oppressive government. The brutal military occupation in the West Bank and the stifling theocracy of Saudi Arabia instilled in me a drive to fight for freedom and to resist a government that seeks to take away people's rights. We are now living in an era where the US government is headed in a direction that is far too familiar to me. I feel I am the most qualified to fight for the rights of the people since a passion for freedom was instilled in me since I was a child, and we need someone in Congress with the conviction and determination necessary to fight the elitist donor class that is controlling our government.
I will extricate the US from endless wars in the Middle East which are bankrupting our country and unnecessarily putting our soldiers in harm's way. We have enough problems at home. We cannot afford to spend an unconscionable amount of resources fighting overseas, Yet foreign lobbyists and the military industrial complex influence the members of our government, including the incumbent, to act against the will of the majority of the voters, who are strongly against foreign military entanglements.
I will fight for a balanced budget amendment. Families are finding it harder to survive because the cost of living is increasing each year. This is a result of our printing money each year to cover our ever-increasing debt. Meanwhile, we are pouring tens of billions of dollars into forever wars thousands of miles away that serve little purpose to us at home. With an amendment to balance the budget, the government will no longer be able to funnel our money to foreign and corporate lobbyists and will be more accountable to the needs of the people.
As the only third party candidate in the race, I am motivated only in serving the voters and protecting their rights rather than party politics. The two major parties have become so antagonistic towards each other that they are more interested in protecting the power of their party than in tackling the many difficult issues facing our country. I think the most important issues of our day have nothing to do with partisan politics. Ending government corruption and the undue influence of elite donors and lobbyists are issues we should all agree on and addressing these issues is something the two parties have shown themselves incompetent of solving.
I would end all federal subsidies to data centers and require rigid reporting of their environmental impact. Although it is up to local governments to regulate the expansion of data centers, the federal government does play a strong role in ensuring the public is aware of the negative impact the data centers have on our environment, including the depletion of our clean water and consumption of massive amounts of energy.
Our country is entering a critical election in 2026. Our debt has reached $40 trillion dollars fighting pointless wars overseas while ignoring and even exacerbating the struggles of families at home. As the only third party candidate, I am the only one not beholden to lobbyists or partisan party politics. My only goal is to eliminate government corruption and to protect our Constitution, especially our civil liberties which are under constant threat by our government. Instead of voting for politics as usual, it's time to vote for candidates who who are willing to listen to the concerns of the voters and serve their interests rather than the interests of foreign and corporate lobbyists.
