In case of emergency break glass and pull lever! 1) Presidents, Congress, Governors, Legislatures all wield their power from the top. My first priority is to show the people how to wield their power from the bottom. The founders of the United States Republic put in an emergency lever for the people whose time has come. With signatures you can place a proposition on the state ballot. A constitutional convention is a proposition that passes with a majority vote in 3/4s of the states. The people have the power to alter and form a new government to their liking. To provide the people with one, perhaps multiple constitutional options on the ballot. The problem is that society is not prepared. Knowing this I have been working on a Direct Democracy Constitution for the last thirty years. See the book Learning How to Fly2, the Promised Land for a humanity Unwilling to Leave the Nest. The PDF is free on my website LearningHowToFly.One. Find errors? Good! Now make it better! Have a better option? Go for it. The world is yours! It’s time to be more than observers of history, but to become history and save humanity. This is for more than America. This is for the salvation of the world. 2) World Peace. Zionism has hijacked the world’s most ancient religion. They have taken a God of love and construed Him as a racist genocidal demon. And I am more than a little upset. I am here to bring love back. To argue its Biblical Foundation. At Church they hate the Bible and will throw you out if you use it against Zionism, but I still love them. It’s hard to love people who hate you. But I run as a Republican so that I can have a conversation with them to show them just how much God loves Palestinians and Muslims through the pages of the Bible and also to provide love with a Biblical Argument to defend Palestine’s cause. The book Contra-Zionism is also available from the website for this purpose. 3) If emergency measures 1 & 2 fail ABANDON SHIP! Jeremiah 51:6
I am the author of many banned books. I choose the path of justice and truth over fame and wealth. For nearly twenty years I went to evangelical churches saying your hate for Muslims is going to lead to genocide. But I have an ACE up my shelve. I can prove all of Zionism wrong and I can do it in their own language. 1Chronicles5:2 Joseph, the ancient kingdom of Israel, not Judah, inherited the Abrahamic birthright. In 2Kings16:7-9 Judah, the Jewish Kingdom, sold Israel, like Christ, from the Temple’s coffers. Judah’s culture and people survived and merged with Edom(13Josephus9:1), but Israel whom Jeremiah31:9 calls the son of God, died(Hebrews11:17-19). Why doesn’t Christianity believe in the resurrection of the son of God? The crux of the faith of Abraham is the resurrection of the son placed on the altar into many nations and kings from the Nile to the Euphrates. Every promise fulfilled through Arabia, not Judah for they were more righteous(Jeremiah3:11-12). Their return(Jeremiah31:16-20), liberation(Genesis49:22-26), and resurrection(Ezekiel37:1-11) innumerably foretold. Substituting Esau to forcefully take Jacob’s birthright testifies to faithlessness on all counts, a callous heart that refuses recognizing the brother Judah sold because then we would have to love them, leading to reconciliation and unification(Ezekiel37:15-23). Like Christ, they’re conceived through the testimony of Gabriel, despised for their Divine message, the elite deny their identity and are conspiring to crucify them. What politician has not accepted AIPAC’s thirty pieces? To please you, for the crime of existing the supposed son of Joseph is condemned and the bad shepherd unleashed(Zechariah11:15-17). Isn’t the curse self-evident? Mine is a history of pleading, “Your little brother is alive, his sacrifice chosen, come to the banquet!” Cain love, for with murder comes your expulsion and his seventh trumpet resurrection(John3:16-17). https://LearningHowToFly.ONE
Borders for me are artificial man-made things. They cut off families and in the form of nationalism create gods over men. We live in a society that take places value in paper over people. Where paper makes a person important and powerful. This is because the human spirit is restrained in America. The true power is in imagination and creativity. People with their true potential unleashed are infinitely more powerful. If we had a free society this would be self-evident. It is what made us, but somehow we lost it along the way.
I believe in direct representation. Where the people themselves can submit their own legislation for public vote. Congress is the top 1% To empower the people is to expect them to surrender their own power which they will never do. Transparency begins with understanding the heart of the politicians we elect. A Catholic must go through a priest to get to God, but a Protestant cuts out the middle man. Does your representative represent you? Does he\she even know you? A government of We The People should belong to you? Does this government belong to you? Thomas Jefferson warned that when the government fails to represent the people it is the peoples right alter or abolish it. I am not calling for war but a constitutional convention of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's time to take back what is ours and throw the god out of their temple in Washington DC.
I believe water is a federal issue. From the great lakes to the swamps of the south east we can make America green. In the same way we have an interstate highway system we can build a series of aqueducts with pumps to refill our lakes and aquafers . To make places like West Texas and Northern Nevada inhabitable.

Ballot Designation Women's Health Executive
Costs: I know what it’s like when your mortgage and daycare are the same amount, when the grocery bill is going up. When I get my kid’s food packets, it costs 20% more. Or coming into the holidays, and that dinosaur costume costs a bit more. I think every family should be able to use that money towards college savings and emergency funds, and I’m not seeing Congress prioritize affordability right now.

Access to Health Care: As soon as the Big, Beautiful Bill was signed 5 of my Planned Parenthood health centers were closed, and it was absolutely devastating. We had to stop prenatal care, behavioral health and family medicine immediately. And so what that means is folks in this district and in rural communities do not have access to health care, and there is no one filling the gap. It's incredibly frustrating to not see things being done to support working people.

Care Economy: I think about my grandmother, who raised me, and she ended up with Alzheimer's, and I really had to step in in high school to provide her elder care. We need a much better care economy to support our elderly and senior community, and I think strengthening and protecting Social Security and Medicaid will help us get there.
I’m Lauren Babb Tomlinson, a mom and lifelong advocate running for Congress because our families deserve better. Now more than ever we need new generational leaders that understand what working families are going through.

As the chief Public Affairs Officer at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, I've been on the front lines of these federal cuts to Medicaid. After HR.1 was passed 5 health clinics were forced to close and eliminated the ability to provide family medicine, prenatal care, and behavioral health. 80% of the patients we serve are at risk of losing their health care access, and I'm tired of it.

I think when we're really talking about what working families care about, we need someone that's going to fight for them on day one. And I have a history of doing that. As a mom with a 1 year old child, I know how hard it is to have your basic needs met. If the cost of my kid's inhaler goes up, it's 90 bucks now, it could be 200 next week, and that's when I want to fight on day one.

When I go to Congress, I want to make sure that life's affordable. We're expanding access to quality care, and we are making it work for families.
We need a fair and humane immigration system that would expand legal pathways to work authorization and citizenship; implement common sense border security measures; and defend DACA recipients and expedite the path to citizenship and those with Temporary Protected Status.

I'm deeply opposed to Trump's aggressive deportation policies - the use of inhumane and expensive private detention facilities; unconstitutional, warrantless detention practices by ICE; and using troops to police the border.
I support the Democracy for All Amendment which would, in effect, overturn the Supreme Court decisions, including Citizens United, that have let big money take over our elections by affirming the right of states and the federal government to pass laws that regulate spending in elections and the DISCLOSE Act which would would require organizations spending money in federal elections including “dark money” groups such as 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations and 501(c)(6) organizations, to disclose their major donors.
California faces significant water challenges, including intermittent drought seasons, aging water infrastructure, and a lot of red tape, making this issue one of the top priorities of my campaign.

In Congress, I will be a water infrastructure champion who advocates for infrastructure investment that would allow California to upgrade, repair, and expand water storage throughout the state and conveyance systems that desperately need to be brought up to the 21st century.

I will also advocate for federal investments in water conservation and technology, like WaterSMART that can help us increase the water supply and improve how we capture rainfall.

I pride myself on being a strong coalition builder and we will only make progress on this issue with a strong local, state, and federal partnership that attacks this issue from all angles.
