Once again I am reminding people that the vast majority of candidates for president, get no media coverage from the establishment including many progressive ones with much more in common with the people than those that do. The mainstream media occasionally admits that they partly decide who to cover based on the amount of campaign donations they collect, which obviously gives candidates serving the rich a major advantage. And those collecting the most money are likely guaranteed to spend an enormous amount of it on ads increasing profits for media outlets selling those ads. The two political parties and the mainstream media pre-select which candidates are "viable" by simply refusing to cover candidates they don't approve of, although some of those they do approve of pretend to support the best interests of the public. In 2019 I pointed out the fact that there were over four hundred and fifty candidates registered for president, by the end of 2019 that was over seven hundred, and I covered some of the candidates the media refused to cover in Censored Candidates For President By Mass Media and More Censored Candidates From The Underground
More recently I pointed out that Dozens of polls show politicians routinely side with campaign donors against the wishes of voters, which clearly shows that the political establishment isn't concerned with responding to the best interests of the public. And in many cases there is also research showing that some of the issues supported by the majority of the public and opposed by campaign donors and the political establishment solve many of our most important social problems. The reason why the political establishment isn't responding to the will of the people or the best scientific research isn't because there aren't candidates that support these issues, but that those candidates never get any media coverage they need to get name recognition and to become "viable." There were plenty of candidates in 2020 and once more there are plenty of candidates in 2024 supporting progressive policies with popular support that solve social problems, but the media simply refuses to cover them.
As I pointed out in the first article on the subject there are a few rare occasions where a media pundit mentions these candidates, like one time where Rachel Maddow searched for the most absurd candidates so she could laugh at them and give people the impression that all the candidates the media doesn't cover are insane or something, and later that year the New York Times published a similar article Sexy Vegan and Seymour Cats for President! 07/06/2019, but clearly if they wanted to they could have found that even though they're right, and many of these candidates either don't provide much of a campaign and many others are downright bizarre or nuts, as well as many religious pastors or other extremists, there are also dozens of much better candidates that are quite rational and have reasonably good platforms or opinions on the issues. In some cases these candidates are much better than anyone the media does cover. If they had done this many people would know that they're not even trying to do a good job screening these candidates and are only covering those serving the wealthy, although there seem to be a few exceptions, like Bernie Sanders, who supported many issue positions popular with a large majority of the public.
But then even Bernie conceded and falsely claimed that the primary elections were fair, even though there was an enormous amount of evidence showing those wasn't true from many credible sources which I cited in articles from both elections including Can Hillary Clinton win without cheating? and Epidemic 2020 Election Fraud Again. Both these articles focused on an enormous amount of problems rigging primaries at the polls, but they did point out that the biggest method used to rig elections is to simply refuse to cover candidates the establishment doesn't approve of, ensuring only those willing to rig the economy for the rich get the name recognition they need to win. The following shows that there are other candidates that actually want to do a good job, although this clearly doesn't include all the candidates the media refuses to cover.
I start by highlighting about ten candidates that I thought were reasonably good and did a good job presenting their positions on the issues. I don't guarantee that they reflect all views equally, and admit for these ten or so I was more inclined to present those I thought were the best, but I I included some that I disagree with and I also provide shorter listings for close to two hundred candidates where I was able to find them. Even when I disagree with some of these candidates the media refuses to cover, I found some of them were more willing to provide clear answers to questions from citizens, which makes them more credible than establishment candidates who refuse to take clear positions on important issues. It's pretty obvious that the reason they refuse to take clear positions on issues is they almost certainly they know they're more concerned with serving campaign donors than voters, as the polls I mentioned clearly indicate. There appear to be approximately seven-hundred-and-forty candidates registered on Ballotpedia's List of registered 2024 presidential candidates but three quarters of them don't seem to have any information available on them, with the possible exception of efforts to sell hats or T-shirts, which I didn't consider adequate for a listing; but just about anything else beyond that, even if it was only contact information for one Social Media page like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube or a few others was included. Ideally I would prefer someone with a good home page and positions on the issues, so I made a point of mentioning that on their listings, even if they weren't one of those I didn't highlight at the top. If you disagree with me on the issues feel free to look through the pages marked that way or all of them if you like.
Those of you who have read my previous articles may know that I think candidates should be required to fill out a questionnaire or job application like any other job applicant. I have often cited Project Vote Smart as the best source for this, even though I've had questions about how good a job they've been doing and thought the quality of their work was deteriorating instead of improving. However, I still prefer to see candidates answer their questions and posted them below when I found them. I think we should create other questionnaires controlled by the people, and provided a first draft of a potential questionnaire based partly on the polls I cited in Dozens of polls show politicians routinely side with campaign donors against the wishes of voters, which were initially based mostly on polls from a Bernie Sanders Meme with a few extra added on. I asked some low profile candidates these questions and so far got at least five provided a complete set of answers. Ideally others would have an opportunity to support certain questions and all candidates should be required to answer them once we have enough grassroots support for a common questionnaire, whether it's my questions or not. For now, though I appreciate those who answered the questions, but can't hold it against those that didn't, since I can't claim to speak for all people.
Anthony Manalakos is one good candidate that deserves far more attention than he gets, and he's far more concerned with the working class than any of the Wall Street funded candidates, which is all the traditional media is covering. He shows this in in web site which provides better positions on issues than the propaganda from those Wall Street candidates at Anthony Manalakos for president 2024 Homepage with issues. He provides an introductory video ANTHONY MANALAKOS 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT, which discusses several issues, including the environmental disaster at East Palestine, which was close to home for him, more on this is also on his Web Page. He also calls the media out for accusing anyone who disagrees with them "A Russian Bot," which is absurd and way to many of us have been accused of this. He also provides about a dozen more videos at Anthony Manalakos for president 2024 Democrat
His Web Site claims his top priorities include
The primary goal of the New Democratic Party of Ohio and the presidential campaign of Anthony Manalakos is to democratically move the state and national Democratic Party back to a service-oriented governance structure focused solely on the needs of working people.
No stock trading.
No corporate money.
No gimmicks.

One risky thing that he's doing, assuming he wants the best possible chance of getting elected under the current corrupt system, is taking on Corporate Media, which to be honest isn't covering honest candidates anyway. He has said he would not speak to them in the following statement:
No Corporate Media
These are dangerous times to be a journalist in The United States of America.
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been in detention since 2019 for publishing secret documents that exposed the US government's misconduct.
His imprisonment sets an unacceptable and dangerous precedent for freedom of the press and a corporate media that still thinks a candidate needs television to win our country, a rule I aim to break if necessary.
Until the journalist Julian Assange is freed from the reaches of the United States government Anthony Manalakos and all members of The New Democratic Party will be refrain from speaking to all corporate media outlets except independent journalists as best they can discern. Complete Campaign Page

He's also willing to answer questions from ordinary citizens, not just those screened by the media, the political establishment, including both political parties, all of which answer primarily to wealthy oligarchs, not citizens. I sent him a few questions on Twitter that most establishment candidates avoid discussing, even though they're popular with a large portion of the public. These are the questions and his replies:
Hello Anthony, do you mind answering a few questions? 07/16/2023
Do you support Medicare for All?
Yes but this has been incompetently handled since long before the ACA. There is not trust in our institutions for a radical system. I am willing to fight tooth and nail for public option, and test cities for M4A to show results, not dreams.
A Green New Deal?
I'm not sure on this but I have my own 'fission vision' doubling nuclear capacity in 10 years and finishing a natural gas backbone to be a long term back up and competitor as we cut carbon dramatically focused but pragmatic.
don't mess with American Energy! 🇺🇸
$15 or more Minimum Wage?
Or more though with the knowledge of the inability to legislate I would make this a radical goal that's enacted over a decade so the south doesn't rise again.
Increased taxes on the wealthy?
Yes but the common knowledge of the cap at 18% overall would remain a constant in my mind moving to more from the wealthy and cutting where necessary in middle and lower to keep around the 18% mark while growing an economy. We can do it though.
Cuts in military spending?
Yes, drastically but we out of ammo and encroaching on desperate country.
Constant intervention in other countries?
None and never.
Net neutrality?
Yes and completely decentralized , free , open internet however spooky and coooookie crisp !!
Universal childcare?
Yes in principle. Idea would be COOP with set prices and easy to signify mechism (taxes) where prices split. Look, we need parents able to work and popping out kids like cray. Child tax credit is my main economic plan though. Original Tweet
Do you support taxing corporations more?
Yes and attacking dodgers in Ireland.
Breaking up big banks?
Yes, Dimon would be #1 / wouldn't change OWNERSHIP for cray Libertarians. My beef is with corporations using tech infrastructure to swallow up productivity gains should've been shared.
Reforming racists incarceration system?
For profit systems or any generating income gotta go because incentives do not align with a moral system.
Guaranteed jobs program?
However, I will make climate response a core mission of the Department of Defense while we end all wars the world will allow.
Tuition free college?
I would remove all backing from the Federal government for fields outside of STEM. STEM in community colleges across the United States should be subsidized 100% to win the future.
Capping Credit Card interest rates?
Hell yeah 'make banks boring again' lul piggies.
Strict Wall Street Regulation?
I'm making red hat to bring Trumpers into my camp so they can still make liberals uncomfortable but will adorn my message "Make Banks Boring Again."
Paid sick leave?
Yes. Investment in people underrated. Values of money over all leave us all empty.
Outsourcing?
I'm a protectionist, meaning if I can get it made here I'm going to do my damnedest to make sure the money is staying in American cities. However, in a global world, we must be strategic about the way we handle a different items and help quell immigration with commerce.

Do you think you can get quick straight answers, like this, from traditional establishment that the media provides enormous amount of coverage? Most grassroots candidates will almost certainly have more in common with the people than the campaign donors, as shown in the polls I mentioned above, which is where I got these questions. If there's anything I disagree with it's his position on nuclear energy, while I would prefer clean renewables and conservation; but, apparently there's a modest majority of the public that agrees with him.
As for him coming out and admitting that he's a "protectionist" polls show that most people agree even though the political establishment and media try to misrepresent what this means and demonize it. The truth of the matter is that most people, including Anthony want jobs protected from outsourcing and they recognize this is a way that corporations force people to compete against each other all over the world while corporations keep increased profits without passing the savings to consumers. Another issue is if we protect worker wages from outsourcing they can buy more of the products they make. Furthermore, corporations and the politicians they buy are also protectionists, but they protect profits at the expense of workers rights or environmental protection. We all pay a much higher price for Wall Street agendas, and, at least when it comes to the environment it may soon be irreversible.

Frank J. Lozada for president 2024 Empower the People
Education Reform
Our kids deserve the greatest possible education. Curriculums need to be reorganized to include practical life skills and have more of an emphasis on business and finances. Every single kid should graduate knowing the value of investing, managing funds, and having an entrepreneurial attitude.
Medicare For All
Health care is a basic human right. Nobody should ever need to decide between their health and their wealth. In terms of healthcare quality, America is rated 37th in the world, yet it has the highest healthcare costs. The American approach shouldn't be to pay the top price for poor treatment.
As your President, I would encourage competition among pharmaceutical firms, which will drive down costs and accelerate the creation of a completely optional government-funded medical program that will guarantee healthcare to millions of Americans.
Immigration Reform
Immigration is not illegal. As a nation founded by immigrants, we should be working collectively to protect our brothers and sisters.
"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. (Matthew 25: 31-40)" For a country that was founded on religious freedom, we have strayed away from our values when we deny our own neighbors at the border and abroad.
Our system is flawed and it needs to be adjusted. Our laws welcome and protect many countries but due to our inefficiencies, people are suffering.
I plan to restructure our methods and introduce ways that will allow immigrants to work towards their citizenship. My plans will end cartel human trafficking and put more money into our economy.
Voting Rights
Voting is an American right that educates politicians on the needs of their constituents.
Without a vote, you have no voice. Currently, American territories cannot vote for president even though that is their Head of State. There is currently no incentive for politicians to cater to these nations and no pressure for change.
No matter where they live, ALL legal-age Americans will be able to vote under my plans. Over 3.5 million Americans will now be able to vote as a result of this.
Pressure will be put on states that are requiring identification to vote. I will fight to make sure those states will be required to provide those documents free of charge to all residents that are voting on a federal level.
Criminal Justice Reform
Prosecutors get ranked based on conviction rates. Which means they have ZERO incentive to believe that the defendant is ever innocent. For years evidence has been rejected in order to achieve conviction success.
Too many people have had their cases reversed after being wrongfully convicted years or even decades later. Right now, there are still far too many innocent individuals incarcerated.
It is important to acknowledge the existence of personal prejudices. Minorities receive substantially harsher and lengthier sentences, and this must end. Our objectives should be to keep individuals out of jail while still giving them the assistance they require.
My policies will abolish unjust and disproportionate sentencing and hold prosecutors responsible for those who were wrongfully imprisoned.
Prison Reform
Prisons are intended to be rehabilitation centers. Instead, these are punishment facilities that embezzle money from our government. For-profit prisons need to be abolished while the money is reinvested into our troubled persons as well as our communities.
The United States has a 68% rate of recidivism. That means that 68% of our offenders find themselves once again behind bars. That should be evidence enough that our approach is not working.
My policies will promote reasonable sentencing, better education opportunities, and positive reinforcement programs that would allow inmates to reduce their sentences.
Programs will also be added that will help promote a healthier and smoother reintroduction into the community and enhanced resources for job placement. Complete article

Frankie also provided the following detailed information about my questions; since he went into so much detail, which I appreciate, I'll post the full reply on a separate page and include a short version below, with a link to the rest:
Hello Frank Lozada, do you mind answering a few questions? 07/22-24/2023
Do you support Medicare for All? Yes:
The influence of pharmaceutical companies on our healthcare system is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention. It is disheartening to witness elected officials being swayed by the power and financial interests of these companies, which often prioritize profits over the well-being of the American people. As a nation, we must fight back against this undue influence and reclaim the power to make decisions that prioritize the health and welfare of our citizens. ....
A Green New Deal?
Yes but with an additional focus on Nuclear energy:
In addition to our focus on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, we recognize the significant role that nuclear energy can play in achieving our sustainability goals. Nuclear energy has the potential to be a highly efficient and low-carbon energy source that can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
To harness the benefits of nuclear energy, we will prioritize the development of advanced nuclear technologies that enhance safety, waste management, and efficiency. This includes investing in research and development to advance next-generation nuclear reactors, such as small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced fuel cycles. These innovative technologies offer the promise of enhanced safety features, reduced waste production, and improved cost-effectiveness. .....
$15 or more Minimum Wage?
Yes and no:
I believe that raising the minimum wage to $15 all at once could be harmful to the economy and businesses. While the intention is to improve the livelihood of low-income workers, such a sudden increase could lead to several adverse effects:
1. Job Loss: Many small businesses and industries, especially those with tight profit margins, may struggle to absorb the higher labor costs. This could result in layoffs, reduced working hours, or even the closure of some businesses, leading to job losses and increased unemployment. .....
Instead, I propose a more balanced approach. Firstly, we should focus on implementing a Universal Basic Income (UBI) to provide a safety net for all citizens, ensuring that everyone has a basic level of financial security. UBI can help reduce poverty, encourage economic mobility, and provide individuals with the means to meet their essential needs. .....
Increased taxes on the wealthy? Yes I do :
Increased taxes on the wealthy can benefit all of America in several ways:
1. Reduced Income Inequality: Higher taxes on the wealthy can help address income inequality by redistributing wealth and resources to support programs that benefit the less privileged, such as education, healthcare, and social services. ......
Cuts in military spending?
Yes but at a precise gradual scale:
My military spending plan would:
1. Increased efficiency: A thorough review of military programs can identify inefficiencies and prioritize essential defense initiatives, leading to a more effective allocation of resources. .....
Constant intervention in other countries?
I do not like intervening in issues outside of our control, at least not physically. Instead, I would:
1. Prioritize Diplomacy: The U.S. should prioritize diplomatic efforts in its foreign policy, engaging in constructive dialogue with other countries to resolve issues peacefully. .....
Net neutrality?
I support Net Neutrality.
Net neutrality is a cornerstone principle that safeguards the open internet and preserves a level playing field for all users, content creators, and businesses. Supporting net neutrality means ensuring that internet service providers treat all data equally, without any discriminatory practices such as blocking, throttling, or prioritizing certain content based on their source or type. .....
Universal childcare?
Yes:
Universal childcare is a transformative policy that promotes equality, empowers parents, and invests in the future of our children. By providing accessible and affordable childcare services for all families, regardless of income, we can remove barriers to workforce participation and strengthen our economy. ......
Do you support taxing corporations more?
My policies do embrace increased corporate taxation, particularly for corporations that are constantly expanding into various business sectors. This concept presents many advantages that contribute to a fairer, more sustainable economy. By ensuring that corporations pay their fair share of taxes, we can foster a stronger, more inclusive society and fund critical public services and infrastructure.
Breaking up big banks?
Yes. Breaking up big banks is an ethical imperative rooted in the principles of fairness, accountability, and stability. Large financial institutions wield significant economic power and influence, which can lead to a concentration of wealth and an undue impact on society. By advocating for the breakup of big banks, we promote a more just and equitable financial system with several ethical benefits.
Reforming racist incarceration system?
As an advocate for criminal justice reform, my plan to tackle the racist prison systems involves comprehensive and systemic changes. First and foremost, I will focus on ending racial disparities in the criminal justice system by implementing fair and unbiased policing practices. This includes extensive training for law enforcement officers to address implicit biases, as well as promoting community policing and engagement to build trust between police and minority communities.
To address racial disparities in sentencing, I will work towards reforming mandatory minimum sentencing laws and prioritizing alternatives to incarceration for non-violent offenders. Implementing restorative justice practices and diversion programs can help rehabilitate individuals and reduce recidivism rates, shifting the focus from punishment to rehabilitation. .....
Guaranteed jobs program?
Yes. A federally guaranteed job program is a progressive and pragmatic solution to address unemployment, economic inequality, and societal well-being. Historically, this idea has garnered support from both sides of the political spectrum, making it a viable and inclusive policy proposal.
Tuition free college?
Ideally but:
While It is theoretically possible for the United States government to offer free college tuition to all Americans, but implementing such a policy would be complex and challenging. The cost of providing free college education to all would be significant, and funding such a program would require careful consideration and planning. ......
Capping Credit Card interest rates?
Implementing a policy to cap credit card interest rates can protect consumers from excessive financial burdens and predatory lending practices. The policy should set a reasonable limit on interest rates charged by credit card issuers to ensure that consumers are not subjected to exorbitant costs and debt traps. On top of capping Credit Card interest rates. I also have an established "second chance" financial literacy program that can empower individuals to manage their finances responsibly and rebuild their creditworthiness after facing financial challenges. This program aims to provide a pathway to financial recovery and improved credit scores.
Strict Wall Street Regulation?
My approach to focus on transparency, accountability, and systemic stability. This entails passing comprehensive financial reform legislation that empowers regulatory agencies with increased resources and authority to oversee Wall Street activities effectively. The regulations should include measures to limit systemic risk, address conflicts of interest, and strengthen consumer protection. Additionally, financial institutions must be held to higher ethical standards, promoting responsible behavior and risk management. Periodic assessments and international cooperation should be prioritized to ensure the effectiveness and consistency of the regulations in safeguarding the economy and financial system. This multifaceted approach seeks to prevent financial crises, promote fairness, and foster a more sustainable and equitable financial environment.
Paid sick leave?
Paid sick leave is undeniably crucial for the well-being of workers and the overall public health. It ensures that employees can take time off to recover from illnesses without fear of losing wages or facing job insecurity. Additionally, paid sick leave can prevent the spread of illnesses in the workplace, benefiting both employees and employers. However, mandating federally uniform approaches to paid sick leave may not be conducive to every work environment and business structure. The diverse needs and capacities of various industries and companies could face challenges in implementing standardized policies. ......
Outsourcing?
From a federal point of view, outsourcing should be approached with caution and consideration of its potential impacts on the domestic economy and workforce. While globalization and outsourcing can offer certain benefits, such as access to lower-cost labor and international markets, it is essential to strike a balance that safeguards American jobs and industries. The government should implement policies that incentivize businesses to invest and create jobs domestically, promoting a robust and resilient economy. At the same time, the government should engage in fair trade practices and negotiate international agreements that protect workers' rights and prevent exploitative labor practices in foreign countries. ......

1. Prioritize Diplomacy: The U.S. should prioritize diplomatic efforts in its foreign policy, engaging in constructive dialogue with other countries to resolve issues peacefully. .....
Net neutrality?
I support Net Neutrality.
Net neutrality is a cornerstone principle that safeguards the open internet and preserves a level playing field for all users, content creators, and businesses. Supporting net neutrality means ensuring that internet service providers treat all data equally, without any discriminatory practices such as blocking, throttling, or prioritizing certain content based on their source or type. .....
Universal childcare?
Yes:
Universal childcare is a transformative policy that promotes equality, empowers parents, and invests in the future of our children. By providing accessible and affordable childcare services for all families, regardless of income, we can remove barriers to workforce participation and strengthen our economy. ......
Do you support taxing corporations more?
My policies do embrace increased corporate taxation, particularly for corporations that are constantly expanding into various business sectors. This concept presents many advantages that contribute to a fairer, more sustainable economy. By ensuring that corporations pay their fair share of taxes, we can foster a stronger, more inclusive society and fund critical public services and infrastructure.
Breaking up big banks?
Yes. Breaking up big banks is an ethical imperative rooted in the principles of fairness, accountability, and stability. Large financial institutions wield significant economic power and influence, which can lead to a concentration of wealth and an undue impact on society. By advocating for the breakup of big banks, we promote a more just and equitable financial system with several ethical benefits.
Reforming racist incarceration system?
As an advocate for criminal justice reform, my plan to tackle the racist prison systems involves comprehensive and systemic changes. First and foremost, I will focus on ending racial disparities in the criminal justice system by implementing fair and unbiased policing practices. This includes extensive training for law enforcement officers to address implicit biases, as well as promoting community policing and engagement to build trust between police and minority communities.
To address racial disparities in sentencing, I will work towards reforming mandatory minimum sentencing laws and prioritizing alternatives to incarceration for non-violent offenders. Implementing restorative justice practices and diversion programs can help rehabilitate individuals and reduce recidivism rates, shifting the focus from punishment to rehabilitation. .....
Guaranteed jobs program?
Yes. A federally guaranteed job program is a progressive and pragmatic solution to address unemployment, economic inequality, and societal well-being. Historically, this idea has garnered support from both sides of the political spectrum, making it a viable and inclusive policy proposal.
Tuition free college?
Ideally but:
While It is theoretically possible for the United States government to offer free college tuition to all Americans, but implementing such a policy would be complex and challenging. The cost of providing free college education to all would be significant, and funding such a program would require careful consideration and planning. ......
Capping Credit Card interest rates?
Implementing a policy to cap credit card interest rates can protect consumers from excessive financial burdens and predatory lending practices. The policy should set a reasonable limit on interest rates charged by credit card issuers to ensure that consumers are not subjected to exorbitant costs and debt traps. On top of capping Credit Card interest rates. I also have an established "second chance" financial literacy program that can empower individuals to manage their finances responsibly and rebuild their creditworthiness after facing financial challenges. This program aims to provide a pathway to financial recovery and improved credit scores.
Strict Wall Street Regulation?
My approach to focus on transparency, accountability, and systemic stability. This entails passing comprehensive financial reform legislation that empowers regulatory agencies with increased resources and authority to oversee Wall Street activities effectively. The regulations should include measures to limit systemic risk, address conflicts of interest, and strengthen consumer protection. Additionally, financial institutions must be held to higher ethical standards, promoting responsible behavior and risk management. Periodic assessments and international cooperation should be prioritized to ensure the effectiveness and consistency of the regulations in safeguarding the economy and financial system. This multifaceted approach seeks to prevent financial crises, promote fairness, and foster a more sustainable and equitable financial environment.
Paid sick leave?
Paid sick leave is undeniably crucial for the well-being of workers and the overall public health. It ensures that employees can take time off to recover from illnesses without fear of losing wages or facing job insecurity. Additionally, paid sick leave can prevent the spread of illnesses in the workplace, benefiting both employees and employers. However, mandating federally uniform approaches to paid sick leave may not be conducive to every work environment and business structure. The diverse needs and capacities of various industries and companies could face challenges in implementing standardized policies. ......
Outsourcing?
From a federal point of view, outsourcing should be approached with caution and consideration of its potential impacts on the domestic economy and workforce. While globalization and outsourcing can offer certain benefits, such as access to lower-cost labor and international markets, it is essential to strike a balance that safeguards American jobs and industries. The government should implement policies that incentivize businesses to invest and create jobs domestically, promoting a robust and resilient economy. At the same time, the government should engage in fair trade practices and negotiate international agreements that protect workers' rights and prevent exploitative labor practices in foreign countries. ......

Jasmine Sherman for president 2024
Take Part in Something Great!
Public Utility Conversion Policy
Under our current system, basic needs are fulfilled by purchasing goods and services. Production of goods and services are not organized according to human needs nor is ecological sustainability considered. Currently, production is organized by private economic interests, with the goal being profit maximization and capital accumulation. These profits are created by the exploitation of human labor and nature.
Capitalism incentivizes commodification, which is responsible for transforming people and nature into objects that are then bought and sold as commodities for profit. Currently, our most basic necessities of life, such as housing, transportation, utilities, health care, and food are largely commodified. Not every American has the privilege or opportunity to pay for these goods or services.
Access to food or housing is dependent on if you can afford it, not if you are hungry or in need of shelter. The current system doesn’t see these as basic rights of citizenship. Our most fundamental human and environmental rights are ignored and profits are the focus instead of people and nature.
There is a long history of the American government providing economic bailouts. During the Panic of 1792, the first significant intervention took place when Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton approved purchases to stop the collapse of the securities market. The government is frequently prepared to save private businesses when they are in trouble. The following situations from the previous century have had government intervention:
Please note, the list above provided resources to corporations for private interest, not directly to the American people. Nationalization is the process of taking privately-controlled companies, industries, or assets and putting them under the control of the government.
Environment & Infrastructure Policy
Climate change is showing its predicted effects day after day, year after year. We need to completely change the way we interact with global ecology, geology, and meteorology. There is no single answer; the problem is centuries of pursuing profit at the expense of the environment. Destruction of our ecosystem has been treated as an acceptable cost in all industries. The pollution we have produced with apathy stops now.
This is the bare minimum, and nothing less will be acceptable. These are the federal standards; local standards may be more strict. Higher standards for ADA, per the disability policy, will be applied to all infrastructure and housing. All new construction and the clearing or repurposing of land must be approved by the local Indigenous council.
Fundamentally, this policy's intent is to provide everyone with a safe environment, from individual shelter within the benefits of society, to the needs of the greater ecosystem. It will be updated in accordance with scientific advancements and understanding to serve that interest.
Abolish The Police Policy
When a person makes any mistake, America’s focus is on punishing that person, rather than solving the problem that was caused. The American justice system is not broken; it is functioning exactly as intended, since its inception to catch runaway slaves. The U.S. police force has been intentionally and consistently oppressive within a system that has proven to be lethally corrupt. Cops have acted as judge, jury, and executioner when they should be de-escalating fraught situations and promoting the overall safety and well-being of the community they serve.
Excessive Force & Corruption:
The United States has the highest number of police shootings of any developed country with an average of approximately 1,000 people killed annually by police officers which disproportionately impacts BIPOC communities nationwide. Law enforcement and correctional officers are unable to protect and serve their respective communities. Attempts to phase out archaic ideologies within police academies and justice education have proven ineffective as the outdated mentality and protocols of these methods are deeply entrenched and interwoven within the judicial system across our nation stunting any potential for progress and reform.
With more protections for the corrupt system than the whistleblowing officer, confidence in our justice system continues to diminish, causing hesitation to call authorities for help. Nearly half of law enforcement officers believe that ‘always following the rules is not compatible with the need to get their job done’. Disturbing yet unsurprising, 84% of surveyed officers have witnessed excessive force by a fellow officer and over half admitted to not always reporting observed misconduct.
Tax Policy & Plan
The economic crisis was caused by corporate greed and an unwillingness of the government to regulate them. We can not dismiss the long history of Wall Street and corporate CEO-friendly economic policies that have led to an economy that is dangerously out of balance. Corporate executives continue to get rich and ensure the rules are written to favor them. America’s working people deserve a voice in the laws governing our economy.It is time for our corporations and our capital markets to be held to higher standards of responsibility and accountability. We will continue to campaign for increased corporate accountability, be the leading voice in reigning in executive pay and advocate for sensible tax policies. These steps make sure corporations pay their fair share.
We have taken up the responsibility for the American tax policy. The job of lawmakers is to develop a course of action that will hasten the economic recovery, cut down on the growing deficit, and safeguard the most vulnerable.
Our team has modeled the effects of many options on the U.S. economy, distribution of the tax burden, and federal revenue. We acknowledge there is an ever-present trade-off among how much revenue a tax will generate, who bears the burden of a tax, and also identify what impact a tax will have on economic growth.
Guaranteed Housing Policy
There are almost 600,000 people in the United States without a roof over their heads. Of the ones with places to live, over 100 million rent. Of the ones who live in homes they think they own, over 200 million have their homes mortgaged. Less than 4% of the people of the United States actually own their homes. (Source: US Census)
This policy will be carried out in three phases. The first phase will address the national emergency of houselessness, while setting up structures for the following phases. The second phase will address housing safety, from domestic abuse to fire hazard wiring, we will prioritize those who can not stay where they are. The third phase will make free housing available to everyone, by use of a simple-to-operate app.
Phase One
A national sign up list will become available as soon as Sherman becomes presidential elect. On inauguration day, a state of emergency will be declared regarding houselessness. Using Eminent Domain, all uninhabited residential properties are to be expropriated, and then inspected for safety. Safety inspections will begin within 24 hours of the first expropriation. Those residences judged safe will be available to be used as housing for a person or family not currently living under a roof within 3 days. All houseless people will be housed within 90 days.
All houses judged unsafe will be upgraded or demolished in accordance with the Environment and Infrastructure Policy. Then restored homes will be made available to the national housing sign-up list.
Conventional Rights of Children Policy
In recent years we have observed an increase in more communicative and supportive parenting techniques that allow children to better process their needs and emotions. The phenomenon that is “gentle parenting” is becoming a more widespread practice as newer generations dissect the advantages of having more thoughtful and capable individuals.
“Gentle parenting is a parenting approach that encourages a partnership between you and your child to make choices based on an internal willingness instead of external pressures”(guidepost montessori).
The parenting style removes corporal punishment for emotional support and accountability. Though traditionally as a society we have justified the use of actions like caning and spanking as discipline for children, the facts suggest that this doesn’t lead to the more capable adult (corporal punishment). Since the premise surrounding the having of children is for the future of our nation, doing everything in our power to ensure the progress and maintenance of this country is paramount. This would mean that for the past few centuries we have been inhibiting our overall growth and development as a society due to not applying humanity in our parenting and education.
Considering children, the future humans meant to foster our ever developing society, we would like to extend them the kindness of learning in a healthy manner in the home and in school. The conventional rights of the child is that they are learning human beings and deserve to be treated with respect.

Jasmine also sent me the following questions and her answers in response to an inquiry
1) How do we pay for the campaign?
We are traveling across money selling chicken and fries to raise the money while also feeding any and everyone who's hungry but can't afford to pay for it. Anyone wishing to donate can do so here.
2) How do we pay for healthcare?
To cover healthcare, we cut out the fat in spending elsewhere. Nancy Pelosi doesn't need a $40,000 furniture budget every time she's re-elected. We've gone through each department, each office, each branch and determined where the health and welfare of the people in our borders should be prioritized. We've done all this without touching the military budget.
3) Are we pulling out of other countries?
Yes. We are closing all 800 bases and bringing our troops home. Under a Sherman administration America will be adopting a foreign policy that is more akin to Switzerland. We will aid in humanitarian efforts like providing food and medical supplies while assisting those who need to evacuate their country.
4) What do we consider a livable wage?
At the current cost of living, $33/hr minimum. In a Sherman administration, both the minimum wage and UBI will be tied to the cost of living index per state.
5) What is our current position on gun laws?
Jasmine stands on a 2A positive platform.
6) Thoughts on Abortion?
Abortion rights will be codified into our constitution.
7) Criminal Justice Reform?
We will be abolishing the police and replacing them with trained, paid citizens that will protect their own communities. Under a Sherman administration a person could only serve their own zip code. We will also be abolishing prisons and replacing them with much more restorative and rehabilitative programs.

Jaha Hughes for president 2024 Nonpartisan Home Page with Legislative Proposals
Jaha Hughes for president 2024
America must stop saying America does not have the resources to care for our citizens in need. The past decades of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine, show there are trillions of dollars to be utilized.
America must break the pitiful lie that helping your fellow Americans is somehow socialism. How purely stupid.
We spend trillions on war yet have homeless people running our streets. We have people being gunned down by psychos with legally obtained assault weapons.
We can spend millions on a jet plane, but our seniors have to go to Canada illegally to get affordable, life preserving medicine.
America must bring the value and preciousness of human life. Confronting the wrongs of the murdered and abused our nation highlights almost daily. Mass shootings to police killings.
The police in these United States, kill indiscriminately Black and poor White faces and juries let them go free.
America's Republican and Democrat leaders are so far out of touch with the American people, they drive by the thousands of homeless suffering in their districts.
America must begin the process of claiming empty and abandoned lands to build affordable housing for the poor and terrible underpaid.
A portion of the new housing will be dedicated to addiction and recovery support. Though the price of drugs in America is criminally high.
Universal Healthcare, the elimination of co-pays must be priority one for the American government.
No person in need of stabilizing and life supporting medication, can be denied their medication.
The United States council on poverty will create local support teams to reach out and engage the mentally ill and unstable
We have seen, sadly, the murderous deaths of hundreds of innocent school children, just wanting to learn.
America must reach out and train teachers to identify bullies and their victims.
Many school shooters were so called outcasts or were bullied. Bullies must be identified, and social services alerted.
Social services will conduct a home study of the bullies family to see the environment they are being raised in.
If there is a home in need of services, services will be provided.
Victims of bullies will receive counseling and support. They should know they are not alone.
Legislative Proposals
Universal Basic Income
The issue of Universal Basic Income in America is an extremely "Hot Topic"! As I learn more on UBI, I see the potential and positives of providing Americans a basic payment to strengthen their finances and in many cases improve their lives.
Universal basic income is a social welfare proposal in which all citizens of a given population regularly receive a guaranteed income in the form of an unconditional transfer payment. It would be received independently of any other income.
UBI And Inflation
UBI is no more or less inflationary than anything else that raises incomes - its impact would depend on whether the economy is at full employment, whether taxes are raised to pay for the scheme and various other factors.
More on Negatives and Positives Of UBI
A Different Path in the Abortion Discussion
While I support a Woman's right to choose. I was part of an abortion decision. I regret it to this day.
We were afraid of what we would lose and that as parents we would fail.
So, we sat together and made that tough decision. At the time though we saw it only as the right decision.

Fighting Poverty in America
America is a nation that sends billions to foreign nations. The nations use that money to feed their people.
They use that money to vaccinate their citizens. Other uses as well to strengthen their nation's people.
The United States gave the following over the represented years in foreign aid.
In fiscal year 2020 (October 1, 2019 - September 30, 2020), the US government allocated $51.05 billion US dollars in economic and military assistance to foreign countries. Of this total, $39.41 billion dollars was spent on economic assistance, $25.64 billion of which was dispersed by USAID. (2023 Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Policy).
The United States supports foreign nations to feed and house their people.
Here in America, millions of children of all backgrounds and races go hungry or are food insecure.
The numbers are deplorable for any highly advanced nation.

Michael D. Landingham for president 2024 Democrat has been persistent and determined in his presidential run and asnwered my questions as well, which I appreciate:
Hello Michael, do you mind answering a few questions?
Do you support Medicare for All?
Yes because it's a universal right to have universal care.
A Green New Deal?
Yes I do support A Green New Deal, because we have no other choice, because we see what's currently going on with the climate and it's accelerating faster than we predicted so we are behind the ball when it comes to rectifying the damages that we have done to our planet because all we doing is killing ourselves the planet will always recover. We have no other choice but to embrace the green New deal.
No choice!!!
$15 or more Minimum Wage?
Yes I do because barely the money that we're getting right now even the $15 an hour is not enough for living and paying rent and other things.
Increased taxes on the wealthy?
Yes because they are Americans and they became rich off of what America provided and so being a true American and The Patriot is to pay your fair share of taxes.
Cuts in military spending?
Yes up to a point that it doesn't affect the mission at hand by protecting America and allies then I would do it as long as it doesn't affect what I set out to do to protect America and its allies and our interest.
Constant intervention in other countries?
I would say no and yes and the reason I say that is because well I'm not going to interfere with the natural development of Nations but when they reach a point to find democracy that America will be there to help them to achieve that democracy and freedom but not in the same way as past presidents has done like coups and other things.
Net neutrality?
Yes because freedom is information and having that information is having freedom because without Freedom then you can't learn anything and if they continue to control information and block information from the American people then how can we make sound and better choices of who we put in office and how we can come together as all Americans.
Universal childcare?
Yes I do because a true pro-lifer would not just worry about the child in the womb but after the child enters the world, when it comes to food and healthcare and schooling. That is the true definition of being a pro-lifer.
Do you support taxing corporations more?
Yes I do because for so many years now that they have taken more out of America and not putting anything back in it and I think it's Un-American for any company to take what America is giving them which means the opportunity to make the money and not patriotically do what's right for the country by paying your taxes and so as president, people will be held responsible on paying their taxes even the rich and we will figure out on how we can do that to get them on board but with my story they will have no other choice.
Breaking up big banks?
Yes and no and the reason I say that is because that President Jefferson warned us about Banks gaining so much power that if they got so much power then it'll be hard to break them up because they're too much in tide with our politics and our economics so I would like to but could we do it without damaging our economy I don't know unless really looking at the numbers and finding other alternatives like building up small Banks and all communities around the country where communities and the banks are one but that will leave out major corporations on where they put their money at and so if there's a will there's a way and I will find that way to balance our financial responsibilities to the American people and to our economic system.
Reforming racists incarceration system?
Yes I do because I believe that it's another form of slavery and that has to stop because when people do something bad that our justice system and the Prison system supposed to help reform these people to make them better progressive citizens to get back into the community to do better and I will do the biggest pardon of non-violent drug offenders that any president has ever done combined. You should smoke weed back in the day and you got like a 20 30 40 year sentence then you should get out and and also we should reform people who are on drugs and there's no harm to others then they shouldn't be in jail as well but they should be in an institution where they can get them to help they need to fight the habit and to give them opportunities so they won't do anything worse to keep the habit going but overall we got to reform the system and we got to hold those account that break the laws but we must reform our prisons and give people the opportunity to regain having a second chance.
Guaranteed jobs program?
Yes I do because we have to prepare for the 21st century by changing how we consume energy because it's affecting our planet and how we can rebuild America from the inside out when it comes to our neighborhoods when it comes to building new infrastructure for solar panels on all households in America and to help pull up all these old pipes out the ground all over the country that is polluting our water supply and so I believe jobs for the future is the best way on how America can move forward and to guarantee solid job where Americans can get paid a livable wage and don't have to work two or three jobs just to live below the bare minimum and so I will work with my team to make sure we come out with a new jobs program for the American people.
Tuition free college?
Yes I do because I believe education is the right for all children but in a lot of cases that the money situation for most kids and their families cannot meet the standards to get into college so we have to open up opportunities for those who financially cannot afford college and to open up opportunities to give them scholarships and whatnot but if you can afford college then you should pay it but if you can't afford college then there should be programs that the government can help because strengthening our educational system for our youth and to give them all the knowledge that we and others before me didn't have a chance to get will make us better prepared for what lies ahead in the 21st century.
Capping Credit Card interest rates?
Yes, because I see that over time what they are taking out of the American people’s pockets, and I will find a way to offset that so Banks won’t ever raise those interest rates again but also with credit card interest rates going up it’s not just that alone. I pretty much went through a situation where I worked at a mortgage firm and when I saw the interest rates were going up I just saw what was transpiring and the housing market and also down the line on every other market when it comes to credit, but we got to have better control of what the FED is doing and that would work his way down to credit cards and housing and cars etc.
Strict Wall Street Regulation?
Yes, I do, because I don’t want us to go through another 2008 moment that happened under President Bush when the stock market didn’t have any rails, any rules to go by and they were swindling the market which almost collapsed the whole thing, so I will make sure that they will be rules of the road that must be followed without any kind of delay or confusion and they will never be overturned.
Paid sick leave?
Yes, I do, when you give all your years out to a company and you're loyal to them, I believe that company should be loyal back to you by giving you incentives that if you work hard and do a good job, that overall workers should have paid sick leave. It’s just the human way and the Human condition on how we do things here, well with my Administration that’s how we are going to do things.
Outsourcing?
No because that's what happened with NAFTA under President Clinton we took all our manufacturing jobs and technology jobs overseas and with the threat of China trying to take over Taiwan and if they did then 80 to 90% of our microchips which most of it is being used by military to advance our dominance on this planet that that will be affected and I believe that if we don't create our own here in America that it will be down the road a huge National Security risk to our country on every level.
I would like to bring back those type of jobs and to influx the migrants that want to come here and work because they will feel those positions like the people out in China because in China they only pay them 10 cents an hour and at least these migrants to get a decent wage of the original seven to eight dollars an hour here which will be well below the new minimum wage requirements for regular Americans who are born here that 18.50 or 19.25 an hour.
Well I hope I answered all your questions but this is how I feel and what I stand for and could there be interpretation for some change possible to make my ideas better? Most likely yes cuz I'm open-minded to hear how we can make America better and everything I have said that I will stand for as your next commander-in-chief for 2024 also to fight for justice, to reform our justice system our judicial system because we got to go across the board to change everything that's what's wrong with America and I believe Landingham For President 24,
The People's Candidate For The People's Justice will Promise America That I will Fight For Justice For All Americans even with my Last Breath!!
Thank you for your time. Michael D. Landingham Original Answers.
Do you support Medicare for All?
Yes because it's a universal right to have universal care.
A Green New Deal?
Yes I do support A Green New Deal, because we have no other choice, because we see what's currently going on with the climate and it's accelerating faster than we predicted so we are behind the ball when it comes to rectifying the damages that we have done to our planet because all we doing is killing ourselves the planet will always recover. We have no other choice but to embrace the green New deal.
No choice!!!
$15 or more Minimum Wage?
Yes I do because barely the money that we're getting right now even the $15 an hour is not enough for living and paying rent and other things.
Increased taxes on the wealthy?
Yes because they are Americans and they became rich off of what America provided and so being a true American and The Patriot is to pay your fair share of taxes.

Michael D. Landingham
The experience of growing up black in America challenges me. It did when I was a child and it continues to do so today. My solution has been to believe in myself and God. My purpose is to bring all Americans together, past anger through understanding our past and turning our eyes to the future.
Love One Another
I was born in Cleveland Ohio on September 24th 1981 and then I moved with my Grandmother and Great Grandmother to a little town called Lisman Alabama and I was raised in the church.
My Grandmother, Geraldine Parker, and her mother, Daisy Parker, were a part of the Civil Rights movement and met Dr. Martin Luther King when we came through our town on the way to the Selma March. I grew up on the stories.
Daisy's mother, my great-greatgrandmother, Luella Ruffin, was a full-blooded Chawktaw and proud of her roots. She had an ability to heal, laying on hands and using herbs and infusions she made herself. It is from her I believe I inherited my own skills for healing.
They were all courageous, believing women. Complete article

Another candidate who has done a much better job making his positions on issues clear is Vincent Cordova for president 2024 Independent Home Page includes Issue Positions The following are a few of his positions on the issues from his Website, and there's much more on his pages:
Vincent Cordova for president 2024
Free Cadillac Healthcare
To be split by Corporations, Government, and the Franchiser. It's really simple, Corporations and Governments would be nothing without human lives. Protect them.
or
We create 69 new Corporations in collaborations of each Market Sector Industry to pay for it.
20 Dollar Minimum Wage including waiters. NO EXCEPTION
No one can live below twenty dollars an hour in America anymore. Those that want to pay below 20 bucks are those that make billions like Slave-labor Private equity Firm holdings that are receiving "Corporate Welfare." We will create a system to exclude small business so they can grow if they are not attached to an Equity Firm.
This will dramatically reduce poverty.
I will oversee the Central Bank for inflation/ Coast of Living.
We would have less poverty and Welfare recipients when we offer value.
President Biden used Executive Privileges to increase Federal workers' minimum wage to $15.00, I will use the same privileges to make it between $22 to $25 an hour, even if we have to wage cut at the top.
No Private Prison or Private Equity in Prisons
Taxpayer's pay billions to lock people up, while private equity firms are making billions from it. 700 million alone from collect phone calls.
Private Prisons are established for greed at the expense of human lives. How many of our Representatives and leaders invest in human exploitation?
Restoring Civil Rights & Ending Systemic Racism
If you are a citizen, permanent residents, or in prison your vote is a civil duty. It must be counted.
Why would we not want to count a "permanent" resident's vote? Why would you not want to count someone's vote in prison? They will be out and part of life.
ALL VOTES WILL BE COUNTED...
When we correct the voting system, we will end Systemic Racism and that is why it has become a challenge to correct it.
Eliminating Homelessness
If employers hire homeless individuals off the streets at 20+ hr., we can arrange two years 100% payroll tax credits for each homeless individual hired. The hire must be on permanent conditions. By Executive Order
an 850-credit score so they can live where they want and can afford, buy a vehicle and live life. By Executive Order
If employment can be verified immediately the Department of Housing can provide vouchers for their first, last and security deposit immediately by Executive Order.
Ending 100% of Child Abuse
According to the facts, we have 400,000 children with statistics that will lead to juvenile halls, prisons, rape, trafficking, drugs and as adults ignored.
1 child in every 7 will be born into poverty in the United States. Students from 16 to 24 years old from low-income families are 7x more likely to drop out than more well-off peers.

Phillip Drake for president 2024 Independent Home Page also includes Issue Positions including the following excerpts:
A STRONGER FUTURE: Phillip Drake's Plan For America
During his first 100 days as President, Phillip Drake will prioritize critical issues to lay the foundation for a brighter future:
Climate Change & Renewable Energy
It's time for us to take control of our energy future and put money back in the people's pockets for once - instead of lining the pockets of the wealthy few.
Welcome to our vision for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future. We believe that investing in renewable energy infrastructure is not only crucial for combating climate change but also for creating jobs, boosting economic growth, and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.
Together, we can lead the transition to a renewable energy-powered nation by focusing on the following solutions:
1. Embrace Renewable Energy Sources:
We are committed to investing in solar, wind, and geothermal energy to ensure a reliable and sustainable energy infrastructure. Diversifying our energy mix reduces greenhouse gas emissions and creates a cleaner environment.
2. Develop a Smart Grid:
3. Incentivize Renewable Energy: (for additional details on this, or any other subject see his home page.
Education Reform
As a society, we all agree that education is a fundamental right that every child should have access to, and that it is the key to unlocking opportunities and building a better future.
Here's How We'll Make It Happen:
1. Increase funding for education:
We must prioritize investment in public schools, particularly in underserved communities, to ensure equal access to quality education.
2. Implement universal early childhood education:
3. Empower teachers through training and professional development:
Homelessness & Poverty
Join us in creating a just and equitable society by ending homelessness, combating poverty, and providing affordable housing, comprehensive support services, accessible healthcare, job training, and educational empowerment.
Here are our key strategies:
1. Affordable Housing for All:
We will increase the availability of affordable housing through subsidies, rent control laws, and public-private partnerships. Everyone deserves stability and a place to call home.
2. Comprehensive Support Services:
3. Accessible Healthcare:
Prison Reform
We must address the root causes of crime, such as poverty, addiction, and mental illness through investments in education, healthcare, stable housing, and fair wages. Overview of Issues on Phillip Drake's Home Page

One candidate who did get a minimal amount of media coverage is Joseph Edgar Foreman aka Afroman for President 2024 Independent and he has a Home Page with issue positions. He's more famous as a musician or rapper, and he went viral when the police conducted an absurd raid on his home failing to find anything, or provide justification. Before I get to that take a look at his positions on the issues:
Joseph Edgar Foreman aka Afroman for President 2024
Decriminalizing Cannabis
The Federal Government classifies cannabis as a schedule 1 narcotic, meaning the government designates cannabis as a drug that has zero medicinal value. Afroman will make it his top priority to unschedule and decriminalize cannabis.
Criminal Justice Reform
The number of individuals incarcerated for cannabis at any moment is over 40,000. The annual cost to house these inmates is nearly 1.5 billion dollars. Afroman will commute sentences for ALL non violent cannabis offenders.
Law Enforcement Reform
Mandatory body cameras for every law enforcement officer will be required under this administration. If sporting events have instant replay, so should traffic stops. Any officers caught abusing their authority will be terminated.
Halt of all Foreign Aid
America is not the police officer of the world. Afroman intends to stop the billions of dollars in hard earned tax-payer dollars to fund these foreign entanglements. America should stop sending foreign aid to countries that despise us, while the American people suffer. More details on Afroman's Home Page

Now the fact that the Police raided his home for trumped up reasons, which they never explained, should not be held against him, as you'll see if you read the details from the following articles, or enjoy the following videos:

Chase Oliver for president 2024 Libertarian Party includes issues including the following excerpts:
Chase Oliver for president 2024
Reforming Immigration for the 21st Century
“I think most people can agree that our nation’s immigration system is a mess. We need a President who will break the partisan logjam and bring people from all parties together to reform and modernize it. There are few better examples of “bad government” than the overly complex current laws and regulations involving immigration. The President needs to take the lead and work with Congress to radically simplify our immigration system so people can come here, work, and become members of our communities without being relegated to the shadows. Immigrants built this country and they can help keep it growing and prospering for future generations of Americans.”
Empowering People through Justice Reform
“It is long past time we address the problems with our criminal justice system. From Courts, to police, to prisons, we need reforms in every area with one goal in mind, empower people, not government. That means ending qualified immunity for federal law enforcement so those abused or harmed by law enforcement can have their day in court. It means ending mandatory minimum sentencing which ties the hands of judges, and compels even some who are innocent to plead guilty to avoid the possibility of lengthy incarceration. It means ending the prosecution of victimless crimes and instead placing the focus of law enforcement on investigating and prosecuting crimes of violence, theft, fraud or coercion.”
Ending the Failed War on Drugs for Good
“As the failed war on drugs drags into its fifth long decade, we can all see that the policies of strict prohibition and prison need to change. I will immediately act to remove all federal laws criminalizing cannabis, and end burdensome regulatory hurdles like, federal banking regulations, placed on the cannabis industry. As President, I will deschedule cannabis with the stroke of a pen – legislation isn’t required. I will also issue full pardons for persons who were convicted solely for non-violent drug offenses, and urge every governor to do the same. It’s time to end more than two generations of regressive, harmful, and unproductive drug policy and move America into a new chapter.”
Ending Wars and Supporting Peace
“My entire adult life, our nation has been at war somewhere in the world. I have friends and loved ones who have served, and come home with the visible and invisible scars of combat. I’ve seen them mourn their brothers and sisters who didn’t come home. I meet more and more anti-war veterans every day, and they know more than anyone the cost of war. It’s time we focus our foreign policy towards Peace. We should end our policy of sending drones around the world and instead foster international goodwill by defending free trade and free markets. Our nation has long had the moniker ‘leader of the free world.’ It is time we earn that distinction by insisting that Peace is the way forward. End the wars. End the drones. End the policy of constant intervention. It’s easy to drop a bomb, it’s much harder to serve as a beacon of Peace. We must take the more difficult but necessary path.”
Respecting Individual Choice on Tough Issues Like Abortion
"I recognize the complexity of this issue and how there can be good faith positions on both sides of the abortion debate. I am supportive of leaving these decisions out of the hands of the government and letting this decision rest with individuals in consultation with their doctors. I am pro choice and will support efforts to protect bodily autonomy while also advocating for the Hyde Amendment which prevents federal dollars from funding abortions.” Complete article

Ashaki Noni Nichols for president 2024 Nonpartisan Home page includes issues Ashaki was also willing to answer my questions, which I appreciate:
Hello Ashaki Noni Nichols, do you mind answering a few questions?
Do you support Medicare for All?
I support a healthcare system that will bring health insurance to the state level so care will be between the doctor and the patient. The state can then supplement residents to assist with medical costs, this way depending on where you live, the costs will be covered. It's a little better than Medicare for all, so we do not have a cast system for medicare.
A Green New Deal?
I do not support the Green New Deal, because humans produce carbon, and I like breathing.
$15 or more Minimum Wage?
Minimum wage in some instances should be more than $15 per hour, so I do support that.
Increased taxes on the wealthy?
I want a fair tax, that will take care of everyone paying their fair share.
Cuts in military spending?
We do need to cut military speading, but not veteran's benefits.
Constant intervention in other countries?
We need to get out of Forgein intanglements.
Net neutrality?
Net neutraility, comes off as a good idea, however, it is a trick bag because of the implimentation of social credit scores. Our internet should be free and open, however, there still needs to be protections, and that's the tricky part.
Universal childcare?
For universal childcare, we need to focus on making sure that parents can have a safe place for their children. We can do this by offering offsets to corporations for parents, and also make sure there is a work life balance.
Do you support taxing corporations more?
There should be a fair tax for corporations also, this way they would pay their fair share.
Breaking up big banks?
Banks need to be broken up, however, their consolidation is due to global structure. So the focus needs to be on having smaller local banks that are not tied in to the global structure, but circulate the dollars within the United States.
Reforming racists incarceration system?
As far as reforming incarceration systems, the benefit of making money off of inmates needs to change, along with Prison REITS. These two methods of making money, if stopped would discourage incarceration rates. Also, putting forth an Anti-Black Hate Crime bill would also help with reform. This first place to start would be with legislation, policy actually started the incarceration boom, and the reform needs to start there.
Guaranteed jobs program?
The jobs program can be reformed, by bringing back trades being taught in school, and teaching high school students as well as others how to run and own a business.
Tuition free college?
College should be tuition free, and those who want to pursue being a Lawyer or Doctor should be able to work toward their education, and not pay for it, similar to an intern program. This way they can get on the job training, and have true skills. Colleges should not be a profit center.
Capping Credit Card interest rates?
Credit card interest rates would need to be handled by Congress being that this is a part of the Consumer protection act that does not protect consumers. This law would need to be amended to actually protect consumers.
Strict Wall Street Regulation?
For Wall Street, there are regulations, however, they do not work in favor of the public, only corporations. The SEC is in place to regulate, however, their should be legislation put in place to not bail out corporations that fail, they need to fail and not be bailed out.
Paid sick leave?
Paid sick leave will vary from company to company, and with the ability to work online companies should have a better balance. However, for those that work for example in the fast food industry, there should be a work benefit used if a sick day is taken so people can take time off.
Outsourcing?
Outsourcing, as Ross Perot said, is that giant sucking sound that has done our country in. We need to start making more products here, and hiring people here, and stop outsourcing work. We have become a country of servicers and consumers, and we need to become manufactures and owner.
I hope this addresses your questions.

Ashaki Noni Nichols also provided some details on her policy positions on her web site:
Ashaki Noni Nichols for president 2024
PLATFORM: GOD, FAMILY, EDUCATION, AND HEALTH
As a country, we need to return to the fundamentals that have established our country into the strong republic it once was. As Benjamin Franklin stated, "It is a Republic if you can keep it."
Over the past two years, the veil removed from our eyes has revealed that the divide in our country grows stronger every day. People need relief now; the time is now. We can no longer wait.
My platform is God, Family, Education, and Health. With a focus on Reparations, Voting Rights, and an Anti-Black Hate Crime Bill.
I strongly believe in God, which drives me to do right no matter how I feel. I respect the beliefs of others, and I want the best for my fellow man. Our country was founded under the principles of God, and we need to follow those principles.
We can do this together, with a desire to ensure that all Americans have a livable wage, food, transportation, and housing. Together We Will!
REPARATIONS
Currently in the House Representatives:
This bill, H.R. 40, was introduced on January 4, 2021, and as of April 14, 2021, Ordered to be Reported (Amended). I would like to see the following removed from the bill:
The commission shall identify (1) the role of the federal and state governments in supporting the institution of slavery, (2) forms of discrimination in public and private sectors against freed slaves and their descendants, and (3) lingering adverse effects of slavery on living African Americans and society.
Moving forward as a Country:
We have had studies done in the public sector on the impacts that slavery has had on the American people. Therefore, I would like to see, for example, a bill:
1. Establish the Reparations Reserve Act, similar to the Federal Reserve Act, to establish a bank similar to the Central Bank that would be accessible to Descendants of Freedmen where the funds for Reparations would be deposited and managed. ......
IMMIGRATION
We Have the Right to Close Our Borders
There is current legislation (S.4948) in the Senate to allow states to deport illegal citizens. I support this legislation; however, it does not go far enough.
I propose we close our borders for ten years (minimum) and deport and remove all illegal citizens and their children. We also need to deny them and their children citizenship in the future. We need to stop all HB1 Visas. We must also end chain migration under the HB1 Visas for ten years. DACA has been determined illegal; those individuals will have to return to their respective countries until our borders open after the 10-year closure of our borders.
According to our Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 18:
"The United States government possesses all the powers incident to a sovereign, including unqualified authority over the nation’s borders and the ability to determine whether foreign nationals may come within its territory." Complete article

Benjamin Stewart for president 2024 Nonpartisan Regular Blogposts
Hello Benjamin Stewart, do you mind answering a few questions?
Medicaid?
I think we have a working system and it should not be robbed, but we should honor the ones to who this service is intended. Medicaid provides healthcare for those 65 and older. Provides, healthcare, drug and prescription coverage, wellness, and a private option. I do not have a problem with it being more efficient and spend less with the same level of care. I will veto any bill that does not fund itself or adds to our national debt.
The new green deal?
This proposed new green deal is really old news, it was proposed to address climate change and economic inequality. It was aiming to set the country 100% renewable energy. It also includes provisions of job creation, social welfare programs, and addressing economic inequality. It never did pass in 2019, according to a quick search.
You are asking a working man like me to throw away his gasoline engines already paid for, who can barely afford to keep gas in it, to get a more expensive car. We cannot be completely dependent on electric cars, and the cost and popularity is not very high, but is growing.
I do not believe our founding fathers who risked their lives for our freedom, would want to spend their neighbor’s money on trying to give their neighbors money away to those who will not work for it. I believe you should be asking what can I do for my country, instead of what can I take from my neighbors taxes, to make equal without doing the same work. Proverbs 23:4, "Weary not yourself to be rich; Cease from your own wisdom." Income inequality, have we forgotten it is wrong to want what other people have worked for? It is wrong to take my neighbors taxes, so I can do nothing and have the same riches? It defies the work ethic of morals and virtue.
Climate change and environmental issues?
I believe the world will be here and livable and yes we should be good stewards of America resources, but we should not be the policemen of the world enforcing global warming regulations, because we cannot afford to. We need to focus on our own land, and if you are broke and borrowing on a maxed out credit card, would you give to your neighbor, which is why they raised the debt limit, this year. You would want the most affordable energy, and affordable energy is more of the same. Clean energy is costly and perhaps the cost can come down. The bill would have to fund itself, or vetoed and have to pass through Congress the house and senate, but I do not believe American people are ready to throw away their gas engines and drive only electric cars.
15 Dollars or more as minimum wage?
4.2 million people are making minimum wage, at $7.25 an hour. I think it needs to be raised, but do not think it is my place to determine if it raised or not, in the sense I would want to ask more qualified people or need a study done by labor and statistics to determine a fair amount according to current data. California raised their minimum wage to $14, but do I see it getting reevaluated and changed having to pass through Congress? Perhaps, It should be done at a state level like California, in my opinion. If I was wanting to raise the minimum wage, then I would contact my state lawmakers and try at the state level. I believe the states should be free to determine how much peoples wages are, and not be told by the Federal government. However, if elected, and if a bill came across my desk as president, then I would sign it into law at the federal level, as long as the bill funds itself. I will veto anything that adds to the national debt. The median income of United States is $67, 521 dollars according to 2020, US Census Bureau. Meaning half of incomes are below, $67.5k and half are above $67.5k. The population is 332 million as of 2021. Meaning half, make less than $67.5k, but only 4.2 million are on minimum wage, I cannot promise I will raise it, but if it lands on my desk, then I will certainly sign it as the will of the American People, if elected.
Will you make cuts in military spending?
No.
Constant intervention with other nations?
Yes. In the sense, we must be peacemakers and peacemaking are actions we do, not think about. We must retain our sovereignty and not negotiate away the right of the American people.
Net Neutrality?
No. I think things work better without government manipulation, I believe in capitalism and the market will determine. I do believe there are people who open-source software and make things free. I also believe if you create a website, then it should be treated as every other website, because it is a business not the government. Google makes money on advertising, offering their searches for free, it’s a business and there is a science to running a website for popularity. There are other websites, that have no bias because of money paid by companies to advertise. We must maintain dominance in the cyber space because of National Security. It is according to the constitution, part of the common defense. We cannot have people hack into our system and launch a nuclear weapon. If you mean, preventing our IP addresses from monitoring and manipulation, then I am all for freedom of liberty and I am against illegal search and seizure per the fourth amendment, but believe in a balance of freedom and defense concerning cyber security. I think websites that are true and full of knowledge should not be discriminated against, but I do believe if searching for products and services, then when google sorts the results based upon advertising, is fair. They offer free truth and knowledge, but it is supplied by the advertising of products and services, it is a good business model, in my opinion. I do not believe google should be punished for being so popular.
Universal Child Care?
Yes, but in a free market society, having been taxed for HealthCare already, we have an established health care system for children. Tennessee has a state-run program, called TennCare. I believe it is up to the states to do what is best for their citizens, not at the national level. However, I do not believe we should pass more or new laws to do the same as old laws. I think our current system is working but we need to be always trying to reduce spending, not by slashing benefits but finding better efficiency in our current system of universal health care. I envision an education on birth control and parenthood and how to maintain a budget, to all those who receive government assistance in the form of universal child care, I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We really are having mercy on those who cannot exercise self-control by having fatherless babies. Every citizen has access to use free condoms from the health department, so there should be no unwanted pregnancy in a home, and there should be daddies in the lives of these children, but many claim they do not know who the daddy is. Really we are having mercy on fatherless babies and we need to educate these women so they can be self-sustaining instead of a dependent on government assistance. Really, we should not be asking for more free hand outs, but using the current available resources like the public library to acquire knowledge. We need to be more concerned with providing equal freedoms so people can become self-sufficient not give them more to be dependent on. My vision is using the apprenticeship programs, a person could read a book on plumbing, carpentry, electrician trades, brick mason trades, and then, ask a journeyman or someone running a business doing the same, to teach you everything he knows about the trade, but you work for 5 years at a negotiated wage. Then you can run a second crew for him, or start your own business. How many people can clean a house? A person could use the freedoms our founding fathers gave everyone and go door to door asking to clean houses for money instead of waiting on the first of the month. Also, the military is hiring and educating people, that is how my dad, an orphan found a job and paid for my tuition. He built a bridge; he did not get bitter but did better. Do you want a better America? Then be part of the solution not the problem love America be American.
Do you support taxing corporations more?
No. I believe, our current system is fair. There are ways to generate extra tax revenue by sales taxes, where business will not burden any different then a citizen. I think it is wrong, to give incentives a rich man to help his business to thrive, but I also think it wrong to tax the man who can barely eat. I think what we have is a working system, but intend to pay down the nation debt with a national debt sales tax on marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco, by legalizing weed free to recreate, grow, and used as medicine. This will give us a big shovel to dig out of debt with, and when the national debt is paid off the national debt sales tax dissolves itself.
Do I support breaking up of big banks?
No. We are a free capitalist economy the market will drive the banks in and out of business. I do believe when we finally pay off the nation debt and bring our government into a balanced budget, we can go back to the old paths of our founding fathers, where the states gave money to support the federal government in the common defense and welfare or international relations. Then there was no federal income tax, as we pay down the debt and become financially independent nation we can go back to the silver, and then gold standard.
Reforming racial incarceration system?
No. I believe you cannot get arrested and convicted if you abide lawfully. I do not believe every minority is innocent and the system is corrupt. I believe if you are lawful and break no laws, then you will be found as innocent. I do not believe the system is corrupt but does operate in truth and justice. I also believe the police should be trained in morals, ethics, and human virtues every year. These police officers see a lot of trauma, and need to be reminded how to remain compassionate and friendly, yet deadly force to the evil doer. I believe there are too many fatherless children being raised by single mothers because some dad did not have enough self-discipline or control to earn money or behave in a way that is good, right, and true way. America’s justice system is not a terror to the harmless souls that do not harm others but is a terror to the evil doer. Here in America, you can do as much good as you can think of as long as harm no other soul. I am for legalizing weed which will reduce many incarcerated numbers of people and make a legitimate business out of many to be grown freely as a cash crop.
Guaranteed job programs?
No. No I believe free trade and commerce should determine business needs and supply of workers. A business cannot guarantee the quality of its product, if made to hire unqualified workers. I believe a man can create a future for himself and his kids, without a handout. However many can find a job in place called the United States Military. I think my program to reshape welfare will require those who receive government assistance, to help their communities, get educated or trained for employment, or spend time looking for a job. Requiring one of the following: 20 hours a week looking for a job, or 20 hours a week getting educated or trained for a job, or 20 hours a week helping their neighbors in the form of community service. I believe this will make many self-sufficient by teaching those on welfare a way to feed themselves, educate themselves, so they are free from dependency of the government, and be transformed into self-sufficient tax payer, and to continue to get up searching for work. I think teaching people trades and how to start a business with things all people do like cleaning houses. Here in America, you can door to door asking to clean houses for money, or mow some yards to feed yourself instead of waiting on the first of the month for government assistance, why not use resources available and become self sufficient instead of becoming a dependent on the government? Being self sufficient, is freedom or finical independence, where you are feeding yourself not the taxes taken from your neighbors.
Tuition free colleges?
No. It should be done at the state level, if done at all. It taxes the poor and uneducated, in order to educate their neighbors. It is unfair to those who do not go to college due to life circumstances, to have to pay for their neighbors’ education in the form of taxes.
Capping credit card rates?
No. A free market based on freedom for the market to drive itself, I believe is best. If you have bad credit, then the business is taking a risk on a shaky reputation, and can charge more because there is more risk. If you cannot get credit or borrow money, then stabilize your income and budget until you have a sound budget and can repay a loan.
Strict wall street regulations?
No. I believe we already have a system in place and a free market should be free.
Paid sick leave?
No. I believe that is an overreach of the federal government. If such a thing could be passed, then it should be done at the state level and not require every business in America to be required to provide sick leave, but only those in that state.
Outsourcing?
No. We should be sovereign and self-sustaining free from bondage to any other entity or nation. Complete article
Medicaid?
I think we have a working system and it should not be robbed, but we should honor the ones to who this service is intended. Medicaid provides healthcare for those 65 and older. Provides, healthcare, drug and prescription coverage, wellness, and a private option. I do not have a problem with it being more efficient and spend less with the same level of care. I will veto any bill that does not fund itself or adds to our national debt.
The new green deal?
This proposed new green deal is really old news, it was proposed to address climate change and economic inequality. It was aiming to set the country 100% renewable energy. It also includes provisions of job creation, social welfare programs, and addressing economic inequality. It never did pass in 2019, according to a quick search.
You are asking a working man like me to throw away his gasoline engines already paid for, who can barely afford to keep gas in it, to get a more expensive car. We cannot be completely dependent on electric cars, and the cost and popularity is not very high, but is growing.
I do not believe our founding fathers who risked their lives for our freedom, would want to spend their neighbor’s money on trying to give their neighbors money away to those who will not work for it. I believe you should be asking what can I do for my country, instead of what can I take from my neighbors taxes, to make equal without doing the same work. Proverbs 23:4, "Weary not yourself to be rich; Cease from your own wisdom." Income inequality, have we forgotten it is wrong to want what other people have worked for? It is wrong to take my neighbors taxes, so I can do nothing and have the same riches? It defies the work ethic of morals and virtue.
Climate change and environmental issues?
I believe the world will be here and livable and yes we should be good stewards of America resources, but we should not be the policemen of the world enforcing global warming regulations, because we cannot afford to. We need to focus on our own land, and if you are broke and borrowing on a maxed out credit card, would you give to your neighbor, which is why they raised the debt limit, this year. You would want the most affordable energy, and affordable energy is more of the same. Clean energy is costly and perhaps the cost can come down. The bill would have to fund itself, or vetoed and have to pass through Congress the house and senate, but I do not believe American people are ready to throw away their gas engines and drive only electric cars.
15 Dollars or more as minimum wage?
4.2 million people are making minimum wage, at $7.25 an hour. I think it needs to be raised, but do not think it is my place to determine if it raised or not, in the sense I would want to ask more qualified people or need a study done by labor and statistics to determine a fair amount according to current data. California raised their minimum wage to $14, but do I see it getting reevaluated and changed having to pass through Congress? Perhaps, It should be done at a state level like California, in my opinion. If I was wanting to raise the minimum wage, then I would contact my state lawmakers and try at the state level. I believe the states should be free to determine how much peoples wages are, and not be told by the Federal government. However, if elected, and if a bill came across my desk as president, then I would sign it into law at the federal level, as long as the bill funds itself. I will veto anything that adds to the national debt. The median income of United States is $67, 521 dollars according to 2020, US Census Bureau. Meaning half of incomes are below, $67.5k and half are above $67.5k. The population is 332 million as of 2021. Meaning half, make less than $67.5k, but only 4.2 million are on minimum wage, I cannot promise I will raise it, but if it lands on my desk, then I will certainly sign it as the will of the American People, if elected.
Will you make cuts in military spending?
No.
Constant intervention with other nations?
Yes. In the sense, we must be peacemakers and peacemaking are actions we do, not think about. We must retain our sovereignty and not negotiate away the right of the American people.
Net Neutrality?
No. I think things work better without government manipulation, I believe in capitalism and the market will determine. I do believe there are people who open-source software and make things free. I also believe if you create a website, then it should be treated as every other website, because it is a business not the government. Google makes money on advertising, offering their searches for free, it’s a business and there is a science to running a website for popularity. There are other websites, that have no bias because of money paid by companies to advertise. We must maintain dominance in the cyber space because of National Security. It is according to the constitution, part of the common defense. We cannot have people hack into our system and launch a nuclear weapon. If you mean, preventing our IP addresses from monitoring and manipulation, then I am all for freedom of liberty and I am against illegal search and seizure per the fourth amendment, but believe in a balance of freedom and defense concerning cyber security. I think websites that are true and full of knowledge should not be discriminated against, but I do believe if searching for products and services, then when google sorts the results based upon advertising, is fair. They offer free truth and knowledge, but it is supplied by the advertising of products and services, it is a good business model, in my opinion. I do not believe google should be punished for being so popular.
Universal Child Care?
Yes, but in a free market society, having been taxed for HealthCare already, we have an established health care system for children. Tennessee has a state-run program, called TennCare. I believe it is up to the states to do what is best for their citizens, not at the national level. However, I do not believe we should pass more or new laws to do the same as old laws. I think our current system is working but we need to be always trying to reduce spending, not by slashing benefits but finding better efficiency in our current system of universal health care. I envision an education on birth control and parenthood and how to maintain a budget, to all those who receive government assistance in the form of universal child care, I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We really are having mercy on those who cannot exercise self-control by having fatherless babies. Every citizen has access to use free condoms from the health department, so there should be no unwanted pregnancy in a home, and there should be daddies in the lives of these children, but many claim they do not know who the daddy is. Really we are having mercy on fatherless babies and we need to educate these women so they can be self-sustaining instead of a dependent on government assistance. Really, we should not be asking for more free hand outs, but using the current available resources like the public library to acquire knowledge. We need to be more concerned with providing equal freedoms so people can become self-sufficient not give them more to be dependent on. My vision is using the apprenticeship programs, a person could read a book on plumbing, carpentry, electrician trades, brick mason trades, and then, ask a journeyman or someone running a business doing the same, to teach you everything he knows about the trade, but you work for 5 years at a negotiated wage. Then you can run a second crew for him, or start your own business. How many people can clean a house? A person could use the freedoms our founding fathers gave everyone and go door to door asking to clean houses for money instead of waiting on the first of the month. Also, the military is hiring and educating people, that is how my dad, an orphan found a job and paid for my tuition. He built a bridge; he did not get bitter but did better. Do you want a better America? Then be part of the solution not the problem love America be American.
Do you support taxing corporations more?
No. I believe, our current system is fair. There are ways to generate extra tax revenue by sales taxes, where business will not burden any different then a citizen. I think it is wrong, to give incentives a rich man to help his business to thrive, but I also think it wrong to tax the man who can barely eat. I think what we have is a working system, but intend to pay down the nation debt with a national debt sales tax on marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco, by legalizing weed free to recreate, grow, and used as medicine. This will give us a big shovel to dig out of debt with, and when the national debt is paid off the national debt sales tax dissolves itself.
Do I support breaking up of big banks?
No. We are a free capitalist economy the market will drive the banks in and out of business. I do believe when we finally pay off the nation debt and bring our government into a balanced budget, we can go back to the old paths of our founding fathers, where the states gave money to support the federal government in the common defense and welfare or international relations. Then there was no federal income tax, as we pay down the debt and become financially independent nation we can go back to the silver, and then gold standard.
Reforming racial incarceration system?
No. I believe you cannot get arrested and convicted if you abide lawfully. I do not believe every minority is innocent and the system is corrupt. I believe if you are lawful and break no laws, then you will be found as innocent. I do not believe the system is corrupt but does operate in truth and justice. I also believe the police should be trained in morals, ethics, and human virtues every year. These police officers see a lot of trauma, and need to be reminded how to remain compassionate and friendly, yet deadly force to the evil doer. I believe there are too many fatherless children being raised by single mothers because some dad did not have enough self-discipline or control to earn money or behave in a way that is good, right, and true way. America’s justice system is not a terror to the harmless souls that do not harm others but is a terror to the evil doer. Here in America, you can do as much good as you can think of as long as harm no other soul. I am for legalizing weed which will reduce many incarcerated numbers of people and make a legitimate business out of many to be grown freely as a cash crop.
Guaranteed job programs?
No. No I believe free trade and commerce should determine business needs and supply of workers. A business cannot guarantee the quality of its product, if made to hire unqualified workers. I believe a man can create a future for himself and his kids, without a handout. However many can find a job in place called the United States Military. I think my program to reshape welfare will require those who receive government assistance, to help their communities, get educated or trained for employment, or spend time looking for a job. Requiring one of the following: 20 hours a week looking for a job, or 20 hours a week getting educated or trained for a job, or 20 hours a week helping their neighbors in the form of community service. I believe this will make many self-sufficient by teaching those on welfare a way to feed themselves, educate themselves, so they are free from dependency of the government, and be transformed into self-sufficient tax payer, and to continue to get up searching for work. I think teaching people trades and how to start a business with things all people do like cleaning houses. Here in America, you can door to door asking to clean houses for money, or mow some yards to feed yourself instead of waiting on the first of the month for government assistance, why not use resources available and become self sufficient instead of becoming a dependent on the government? Being self sufficient, is freedom or finical independence, where you are feeding yourself not the taxes taken from your neighbors.
Tuition free colleges?
No. It should be done at the state level, if done at all. It taxes the poor and uneducated, in order to educate their neighbors. It is unfair to those who do not go to college due to life circumstances, to have to pay for their neighbors’ education in the form of taxes.
Capping credit card rates?
No. A free market based on freedom for the market to drive itself, I believe is best. If you have bad credit, then the business is taking a risk on a shaky reputation, and can charge more because there is more risk. If you cannot get credit or borrow money, then stabilize your income and budget until you have a sound budget and can repay a loan.
Strict wall street regulations?
No. I believe we already have a system in place and a free market should be free.

Most if not all of the dozen or so candidates featured above provided clearer positions on the issues than most if not all candidates the main stream media cover, and at least seven or eight of them took positions supported by a large majority of the public. Establishment candidates rarely make their positions clear, but close research almost always show they serve their campaign donors, not the voters. Amazingly Joe Biden's Campaign Page doesn't have any discussion of the issues, instead it opens with requests for donations, attempts to sell merchandise and recruit volunteers with saying much else. If you Google "Joe Biden Position on the issues" you can find plenty of his positions on the issues but he often makes many contradictory claims, and has a fifty year record of serving corporate interests even when his campaign says he does the opposite. Most other establishment candidates, including Ron DeSantis aren't much if any better, I didn't find and description of his positions on the issues either.
Donald Trump's Campaign page actually does provide more details on the issues, but they're far from honest; he claims he wants to stop censorship, yet he threatens to sue his critics even when they tell the truth to silence them; he claims he wants "Free, Honest and Lawful Elections" yet he has been caught red-handed trying to rig them in his own favor, and even though there are many legitimate problems with elections, he makes an enormous amount of obviously false claims, ignoring the legitimate claims; he claims that he wants to "Stop Crime and Restore Safety," yet this appears to be only against the poor, not white collar crime or crimes by his allies, and he's totally unfamiliar with the best research on how to do this. Few if any of his other claims on the issues will stand up to scrutiny, although this article is focusing mainly on censored candidates others articles of mine have discussed some of this.
There are also a few candidates which the media has provided some coverage of, but tries to portray them as fringe, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Marianne Williamson, and Cornell West, who Many people, including myself consider much better than Biden, Trump or DeSantis. But, unfortunately, neither Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Campaign Page or Cornell West's Campaign Page have nearly as much information on the issues as many of us would like, although they both have more than Biden or DeSantis, who have nothing, they don't have nearly as much information as most of the candidates featured above. Fortunately Marianne Williamson has much more detail on her Campaign Page and in some cases she may have done even better in her 2020 Campaign Page
But, frankly, some of the candidates seems to be as good if not much better than even Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Marianne Williamson, or Cornell West; and it should be obvious that Joe Biden and all the leading Republican candidates are far more concerned with serving corporate interests. I can't guarantee that all these candidates will stand up to the scrutiny involving a higher profile campaign; but censoring them to ensure that those with much more in common with the people clearly shouldn't be the proper way to screen them. I can safely say that at least seven or eight of the candidates featured above are better than the leading candidates from both political parties, who are leading only because of support from powerful institutions and their efforts to rig the media coverage, and most of them are as good if not better than Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Marianne Williamson, and Cornell West as well, although to be sure they might require a closer look.
At least three of the candidates that answered my questions, which were based on the polls mentioned above, were almost completely in agreement with the majority of the public, and when they disagreed, perhaps only partly, they explained why, which was worth serious consideration. Of course, as I said before, establishment candidates rarely take clear positions, and when they do they often break their promises to voters to keep promises to campaign donors. The other two were still far more honest than establishment candidates, and one of them agreed with the public about half the time anyway, while the other almost always disagreed with the public. One who justifiable supported reparations for African Americans also supported closing the borders, deporting all undocumented immigrants and even depriving children born in our country of citizenship which is unconstitutional. Even though I disagree with this I appreciate their honest answers, and respect them more than establishment candidates who don't provide honest answers, but would obviously support those with better positions on the issues.
Also While searching for these candidates I also found the Debate Tourney which apparently is arranging for debates for at least seven candidates not covered by traditional media, and five of those aren't even registered on the Ballotpedia list, so they're not covered here. This certainly looks like it's worth checking out, and perhaps recommending other candidates for these debates.
There are also some more interesting candidates listed below, including some that the media have provided a modest amount of coverage for, like Joe Exotic who is in jail, with a bizarre history. They cover him because it adds to the stereotypes about candidates they don't cover. There's another one that announced his candidacy in a video and his busted up nose and missing teeth might draw more attention than anything he had to say, which the media might also find amusing. Another one was the son of a West Virginia State Senator and Pastor, who had some local name recognition but half way through his fifteen minute Presidential announcement with his pregnant wife and leading supporters by his side, his pregnant wife fainted, and they stopped the announcement temporarily. But they quickly seated her in a chair and finished the announcement, editing the tape so the faint doesn't show and if no one knew what happened they would have seen her wife standing there one second, then a split second later she was sitting in a chair, without explanation, but it was obviously edited. This wasn't kept secret, since the original tape showing the faint was leaked.
Another candidate worth mentioning is Perry Johnson, who is worth $150 million, and Running for the Republican nomination. He's clearly not anti-establishment, although he may pretend to be, and he's trying to buy his way onto the debate stage. Like other establishment candidates he provides no clear positions on the issues. He has gotten much more attention than most of the candidates mentioned on this page, due to his wealth not his support from the public. It's actually unusual for a candidate so wealthy to get so little attention, but part of the reason is he previously was caught submitting fraudulent signatures for a previous race in Michigan.
The following are the other candidates I found in my search, including close to two dozen more candidates with home pages that may include a closer look at their positions on the issues. If I have time I may add a few more, especially if I get replies from my questions or if there's more details on their Home Pages:
