1. I am a CNA in the medical field, I know wages right now are not sustainable for a family. 2. I would like accountability for the Epstein files and victims. Send a criminal to catch a criminal so to speak. 3. Criminal Justice reform. Lower cost while working on how to reducing the recidivism rate in our country as well as Wisconsin. 4. Reducing congressional wages and reduce or take away congressional retirement benefits. Its supposed to be a job of servitude. 5. Securing the American people's rights again. Rights to free speech on social media, our rights to the Second Amendment. To actually uphold the oath I would take to the constitution. 6. I am putting term limits on myself. One term to do as much good as I can. 330+ Million people in America 🇺🇸 with some great ideas. One person in office on an endless agenda, surprises progress. 7. Fighting to put the gold standard back on the dollar. Also add precious metals into just the currency. Like a gold backs currently in trade.
I would like to deregulate farmers so they have more access to sell locally. I would like to go after the seed manufactures and push a bill that we as America could meet some of the international requirements so that our farmer's have more countries to sell our products to. Its one thing to sell in house, Its another to sell outside of our boarders and bring outside money in.
Addressing the Foreign Agents Registration Act and AIPAC.
Thats a big one. We have to think of Healthcare as a multi stage program. Add young adult care to all of them. 1. The child's care and mother's care. 2. The infant care and mother care. 3. Child care and family care. 4. Teen care family care 5. family care and child care. 6. Middle age,family care. 7. Retirement age care, family care 8. Elder care, family care To understand Healthcare, we need to think of it in full life cycles. Addressing each group's need is important. I would push a bill that would require any Healthcare facility in America wanting any funding from the federal government to provide their staff with Healthcare. Start a 3 tier government Healthcare plan. Something that covers the basic. I am currently one of the American people without health insurance because it is so expensive, I understand what we go through.
I would set their treatment the same way we currently treat our inmates. As a felon. I broke the law, are we saying that people that broke the rules from outside our country should get better treatment then the people that live in our country and break the rules ?

Voter Empowerment- we believe in full Voter Empowerment, which comes down to the phrase "One Voter, One Vote on All Issues." We built Voter Directed Network (app.voterdirectednetwork.com) to modernize and evolve our practice democracy and republicanism. We can do this easily with issue-by-issue online voting. It is time to put Yes/No political power where it truly belongs in a republic- equally distributed in the hands of all voters on all issues. We also believe in Anti-Corruption. This means NO donors, lobbyists, Super PACs, or political parties using money to corrupt our political system. As a compassionate Social Worker, the author of Voter Directed Democracy, founder of Voter Directed Network and lifelong learner I believe I am ready.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of great voter directed, voter supported ideas about how to improve our economy for voters, children, and families. We shouldn't be suffering like this. We have an authoritarian party controlled political system and economy that has caused immense human suffering in Wisconsin and the U.S. for decades. We are still forced to have primitive and elementary conversations about human survival necessities and costs of living/surviving. The real economic solution has always been the same. We must support Human Rights for all Americans. Safe shelter, nutritious food, clean water, affordable healthcare and education are all human rights we all deserve. When we protect human rights our economy will thrive.
The right to vote is an essential part of democracy and our republic. We of course want to empower voters like never before with issue-by-issue online voting on VoterDirectedNetwork.com . The only way to effectively counter the rise of Techno-Authoritarianism (which is already here and will accelerate as AI strengthens and grows) is with Techno-Democratic Republicanism. We must use technology to support, protect, and evolve democracy and our republic. Or tech-savvy, tech- empowered authoritarians will continue to dominate our country socially, politically, and economically. That said, Election Day needs to be a holiday, mail-in ballots must be protected, and the Voting ID laws that have existed for decades do not need to be changed.
Healthcare is a human right. Many other countries recognize this truth and that the U.S. does not is perpetually enraging and heart breaking. We would solve so many problems and eliminate an immense amount of human suffering if our government recognized healthcare as a human right, as most voters do, and acted accordingly. Furthermore, access to informative sexual education and contraception is highly correlated to better social and economic outcomes for all. IVF creates miracles. All human life is a miracle from birth to death and should be supported accordingly. I also consider myself honestly Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. I wrote an essay explaining this, please find it here: https://www.voterdirectednetwork.com/philosophy-and-me
There are many really good examples of national immigration and refugee policy around the world. The system in the U.S. is insane and inhumane for various terrible reasons. However, humane, helpful, worker friendly, and safe-for-all immigration and refugee policy is definitely possible. Voters need to openly and transparently discuss all of these issues. Also, the party controlled authoritarian political system uses many types of Negative Identity Politics to divide, conquer, and control voters. As a voter directed candidate I stand against all prejudice and Negative Identity Politics. Please find my full essay on the immensely harmful effects of Negative Identity Politics here: https://www.voterdirectednetwork.com/identity-politics
