Progressive Union Party Convention June 2018 (Concluded)

I would like to ask for the endorsement of the Progressive Union Party for Lincoln Senate.

I support bills that would modernize our infrastructure. I also support creating a national job training program to help workers acquire new skills. These two policies will work together to result in more opportunities of higher paying jobs for every citizen. I will support bills that will improve access to quality healthcare and education across Atlasia. I will support bills that protect the environment and prevent climate change. This includes increasing investment in clean and renewable energy and increasing fines and penalties on people and corporations who violate laws meant to prevent the pollution of the air, land, and water. I want to end the North Korean crisis as soon as possible, as I support a noninterventionist foreign policy. I don’t want us to get stuck other future conflicts like the current situation in Korea. Thank you.

Ok, I'd like to ask you a few questions and hope you can answer them.

I commend you on this, but can you expand on what the specifics of such bills might be? Since the Senate passed Paygo(unfortunately in my view, but it's passed now), what funding would you support for such bills? Alternatively, do you believe the Senate should either exempt these bills from Paygo or get rid of Paygo altogether? And building on from the infrastructure issue, what kind of policies do you support to lower the Atlasian unemployment rate-and indeed do you believe the rate is too high currently or not?

What kind of bills are these? For instance, would you have voted for the Free Higher Education for Atlasia Act? And to clarify, would you have voted for it when the Senate voted on it or only voted for the current House version?

Can you expand on this please, and is there any difference between your position and Senator Madigan's on this issue?

I'd like to add a promise to strengthen unions in Atlasia, and specifically to make the federal government a model employer-either legislatively or via executive order. Also we should seek to reform the criminal justice system to increase the focus on rehabilitation and end mass incarceration.

Great to see my state of Minnesota got the PUP convention and, at least last time I checked, Minnesota is a proud red island on the map. Good on you, my PUP friends! It's time Fremont gets heard in national politics. Love Fremont, love Minnesota.
