On the Issues
We, Americans, are at a pivotal moment in our political history, and we must make thoughtful choices about our nation’s future and purpose. In light of our current state, we need to consider how we got here and who led us to this point. As citizens, when we vote, we vote for politicians we think will represent the needs of the people. Yet, the current state of our nation does not reflect the voice of the people, the economic needs of the community, and the values of our time. From this, we need to ask ourselves, do we continue to follow established politicians just because it is easy, yet they are the same who do not hear our voices? Or do we choose a political future by working together
to revolutionize a new type of government? It is our
time to make this change. It is our time to make our
voices loud enough so politicians can hear us resist
the status quo. It is our time to stop standing on
the sidelines while our needs and our values are
ignored so that the establishment can line their
pockets. For the past forty years, the middle
class has experienced stagnant wages or
declining incomes while they watch an
ever-increasing pay gap between the rich and
everyone else in this country. It is our time to stand
up and vote for social equality, livable wages, job
growth, healthcare for all, and a cleaner environment.
With your vote, I will represent our voices, our needs,
and our values by taking on the political and
economic elites.
