I believe the biggest challenge facing our country is corporate greed and to a lesser extent personal greed and the drive for profit through unethical means. As tensions in the Middle East escalate along with the threat of a larger regional war looming, the stock prices of weapons manufacturers are flying high with little or no calls for de-escalation. This week’s $95 billion military aid package is being hurried through Congress while many of the same congresspeople are personally profiting through currently legal stock trading. We need to ban congressional stock trading, pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and remove the profit motive from war, prisons and fossil fuels. Corporate greed has led to understaffing at railroads, hospitals and airlines. Railroad understaffing directly led to the disaster in East Palestine and understaffing in hospitals has led to higher mortality rates for patients, decrease quality in patient care and higher nurse turnover rates.
I believe corporate greed has gone too far, as clearly outlined in the Powell Memo leading to the undermining of many of the gains of the New Deal era. To counter that, I will protect workers’ right to organize. I support the PRO Act (People’s right to Organize Act) and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. I was proud to walk the picket lines with the nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital New Brunswick as they were on strike for safe staffing levels which has a direct correlation to patient mortality. I believe railroad workers and airline workers have a right to strike. And I oppose the union busting tactics of Starbucks, Amazon and other corporations. I support the repeal of the carried interest loophole that Venture Capitalists use to avoid paying their fair share taxes and which led to the dissemination of many well known companies, Toys R Us being one example. And I support transparency: All corporations that operate under venture capitalists must be made clear
I support ending the ballot line! This titanic shift in New Jersey politics will lead to more debate, more voter outreach of issues that matter and representatives that more closely match the constituents they represent. I support same day voter registration, non-partisan civic education in our schools, election day as a national holiday, not allowing prisoners to be counted in the location where they are incarcerated and ending Gerrymandering.
I support passing the Dream Act. I support hiring more case workers to process the large numbers of asylum seekers coming to our borders. I support a temporary worker program that expedites the working status of asylum seekers so they are on government assistance for a shorter time frame. I support a seasonal worker program so that immigrant laborers are not exploited and the job market remains competitive for US workers. And lastly I support addressing the root of the problem. Since 1946, the United States has interfered in more than foreign 80 elections including many countries in South America. The United States should end sanctions on Venezuela, which has the largest oil reserves in the world and where the majority of asylum seekers are coming from.
I support ending all fossil fuel subsidies and nationalizing the energy sector and creating a smart grid to remove the profit motive from fossil fuel corporations and utilities. I believe public transportation should be free, which would have the side effect of injecting spending power into many local communities. Cities and communities should be made bikeable. Money should be spent on weatherization of homes and regulations should be put in place to ensure green new construction. All federal buildings should compost and composting should be federally supported at the local/municipal level. I believe in federal support for plants and coaching for homeowners who want to naturalize their lawns with native plants. I believe in expanding the scope of the department of the interior to manage a conservation corps that seed forests, restore wetlands and help with the services mentioned above. I want to support geothermal, investigate wave/tidal energy and smaller scale wind turbines.
I support a women's right to choose and codifying Roe v Wade. I support free abortion services for those who choose that route, education, universal free childcare, universal free pre-K and universal single payer health care that pays 100% the cost of giving birth to support those who choose abortion for economic reasons.
At this time, it is the United States' unconditional support for Israel which has led directly to over 40,000 innocent lives lost, mostly women and children and which has not helped bring back the Israeli hostages, many of whom are presumed dead from Israel's bombings. Israel's bombing of Iran's embassy in Syria is a distraction on the continued bombing in Gaza and the recent murder of World Central Kitchen volunteers not to mention the uptick in settler violence in the West Bank. The US has the power of the purse over Israel's actions. If we wanted to de-escalate tensions with Iran to avoid a wider regional war, Congress could have voted to not pass the $95 billion military aid package this week.
