I don't take big corporate money or super pac money. I am grassroots funded and firmly believe you can't change a corrupt system by taking it's money. We must get money out of politics and move to clean publicly financed elections now!
Single Payer Healthcare is not a radical idea. The rest of the developed world has done one version or another of it and kicks out butts in terms of price and outcomes. Let's stop a mafia-like profit-driven health insurance industry from getting in-between you and your doctor to the tunes of over 100 billion annually and provide single payer medicare for all healthcare to all!
- When I watch any of the mainsteam media outlets on TV, I feel like it's opposite world. They act like any legislation that helps normal Americans is crazy and that things like endless war, tax breaks for the wealthy, corporate subsidies, and corrupting big money in our politics is just a no-brainer and it shouldn't even be questioned. I'm here to tell you that it's not crazy to do things for all Americans and I will fight for that much needed systematic change!
