| Collapse all
I worked for Hewlett-Packard’s which was spun-off as Agilent Technologies. I joined HP because I believed in their corporate values. When my job launching new products included offshoring production I balked at the mission and chose my community over my career.
Now I use my Systems Engineering skills for the good of the people. I’m running for Senate because it is at the root Congress systemic failure. Congress must pass legislation for the good of the nation, and the Senate filibuster rule has killed debate on popular and overdue bills. Congress has ignored the stakeholders and is only focused on the shareholders.- I support and promote Campaign Finance Reform and a Constitutional Amendment to empower citizens over corporations and the morbidly rich.
- I support policies that promote middle class economic growth. I support labor rights because wages have stagnated since Reagan declared war on workers rights in the 1980’s.
- I support fair taxation to invest in America. Our infrastructure and educational system promotes the welfare of business and investors and they must pay their fair share to keep our economy strong.
I also appreciate FDR’s New Deal and JFK’s inspiring moon shot and calls for national service.
I still enjoy the books for their underlying philosophy and stand with Rowling’s opinion that the title should never have been changed in the U.S. from “the Philosopher’s Stone” to the “Sorcerer’s Stone.” The U.S. publisher preferred to have Americans believe that magic, and not knowledge, was the power to overcome evil.
My agnostic identification is complicated. I believe in the philosophy and mission. I used to define agnostic as requiring proof, but now tend to think that I am not capable of understanding any level of proof that could be provided. Therefore I try to do good, and sometimes place my faith in fate, destiny, or God’s path by doing what I think is the morally right thing to do. It’s a struggle, and having faith and not thinking about it would be far easier.
Term limits might help with the high average age, but could also lead to experienced candidates merely using their name recognition to dominate a campaign for a different office.
