Hello people of the South! I am announcing my run for the Senate because I want to make life better for all people by striking the
best balance between personal freedom, economic prosperity and fairness, and the security of our great nation of Atlasia. I will support policies that benefit the neediest among us without hurting any of our citizens by using our
free market with sensible regulations to help spread prosperity to all of our people. I also support life in all stages, and we should use government to help
bring people out of poverty without fostering a culture of dependency. I believe that
progress isn't a zero sum game, and that everyone can be a winner in the game of life through the sheer determination of our people with the aid of a good government that works for all people. I am running as a
new kind of Federalist who will shake up Atlasia. As a relatively new player who is not part of the old guard establishment, I ask you all to
give me a chance to fight for a better, fairer, and more prosperous Atlasia. I would love to have the support of everyone, so we can move beyond petty hyper-partisan politics. It's time to inject some new fresh blood into our government in order to
renew civic involvement to strengthen our democracy. l will answer every question you all ask me.
The Thunder PlanI will support the most objective nominees for the Supreme Court with the highest levels of integrity, as displayed in their posts throughout their time in participating in Atlas Forum, in order to allow fairer and more balanced rulings. I also don't want to be an obstructionist to decent nominees by our excellent President, dfw libertylover, but I will standwith my principles by voting no if he nominates someone that I find unfit to serve on the court. However, I will
favor nominees who support Regional rights to the most reasonable and fairest extent in the best interest of our population as possible. I will also apply this same philosophy whenever I vote on bills. I also care about my values and principles. I will also pledge to
protect life from the womb to old age through the efforts of a good government that aims to put people and families first. That means
fixing our education system to prepare our children to have better lives than their parents, eliminating college tuition for intelligent students who are unable to afford college, a
training program for workers who lack the skills to compete in a 21st century economy, and we will
protect our social security programs for our elderly who have contributed so much to our country earlier in their live--since they should never starve to death or suffer in crippling poverty after a life of hard work. I also
support our troops and veterans who must be treated well when they go home. I will push for psychological treatment to be offered to any soldier who needs it, and each veteran will have the opportunity to get a college education or a grant to start a business. I am also
against any aggressive wars of choice as I am a pure noninterventionist at heart, but if we are directly and deliberately physically
attacked in Atlasia by any country or terrorist organization, then I'll give 'em hell. However, I will never support destroying a country for the sake of profiteering by special interests through faulty intelligence. War is never in the best interest of our ordinary citizens since it causes too much death and destruction while it drains our economy of its prosperity and development, and I will only support it as a last resort. I also care about
combating the droughts and all other natural disasters in a competent manner. I also want
criminal justice reform because we need to focus on fixing the ills in society by prioritizing rehabilitation over punishment. I only support the death penalty in cases where there is
undeniable evidence of terrorism, serial murders, and child murder. I support the
legalization and regulation of marijuana similar to alcohol and tobacco, but I
support banning hard drugs because they cause too much harm to people and society, and I support all efforts by law enforcement and the military to
hunt down all drug cartel leaders since they are the root of the drug problems facing our nation, but we shouldn't give extreme punishments to minor drug offenders since mass incarceration only breeds more crime and violence in our most poverty stricken communities. I support
universal background checks on all gun purchases in order to keep our people safe, but I also strongly support a
right to bear arms for law-abiding mentally sane citizens. I am
opposed to all barriers to free speech, religion, assembly, press, and petition unless it physically endangers other people. I also support
protecting our LGBT community. That means upholding same-sex marriage and the right to identify as any gender you feel like since it doesn't cause harm to anyone and it is a fundamental freedom. I
oppose abortion in all cases except life of the mother or rape, but I strongly support
comprehensive sex education and easy access to birth control. I also care about
protecting our environment while we make sure that
those displaced by the loss of high polluting industries such as coal are able to find new jobs (preferably in the renewable energy industry) before I would vote for new environmental regulations. I want Atlasia to eventually switch over to renewable energy for the sake of our climate, economy, and for the quality of our environment for the people, but we should do it in a
smart way without hurting the people that we are supposed to help. I support
comprehensive immigration reform because we need to help the millions of undocumented immigrants who are already here, to come out of hiding so they can live in dignity by being able to earn civilized wages and be able to contribute to our economy in more productive and efficient ways since the formerly illegal immigrants can receive training and education that would pay for themselves over time, and that's how our economy can grow. I also
support tough border security in order for our country to remain secure, and to prevent extremely large numbers of immigrants from overwhelming our system. We should have
extreme vetting through sweeping criminal background checks of refugees from countries that have a lot of violence, but we should
never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, or ethnicity. I believe in supporting
all efforts in scientific research in order to stimulate the economy and help it grow and advance. I also
support our space program because the investments made in the research by our government will pay for itself. I will support a privatization of more simple satellite launches and space travel as we move further ahead in our discoveries, as the government should be the main catalyst for most research and the major milestones. I also care deeply about
medical research, as we should work to find cures for diseases. For those of you who are wondering how I plan to pay for this, I will propose an
audit of all of our government departments so we can cut waste and fraud, I will also also make sure that all new government programs can either
pay for themselves within up to 10 years or those programs that are morally important but fiscally unsound will borrow money from profitable services. I would be willing to support a
massive stimulus program, that would eventually pay for itself, to support small businesses only since they are the ones that need the help the most by allowing them to hire more people so we can
bring unemployment down and make wages rise. I support a plan to
wean our economy off of corporate welfare having them to
keep their money in Atlasia through stricter laws against allowing them to dump their profits in overseas accounts and by
requiring them to invest a greater portion of their profits in their own businesses or in wage raises for their workers. This will help grow the economy and
solve income inequality. I promise
I will not raise tax rates, but I will support stronger enforcement of tax evasion by closing loopholes and access to offshore tax havens while I support tax cuts for the poor and middle class. However, I will allow corporations the option to
allocate a portion of their owed taxes to wage raises for their employees. I will also support
handing control of some federal programs over to the regions on the condition that they provide adequate funding in order to maintain or exceed the quality of these programs. This will allow the Federal government more leeway to focus on more innovative research and development to
improve the quality of services and standards. This will
renew the people's confidence in the government's ability to do good for our country.
I hope this election will be an exciting adventure that is also good, clean, and fair race. I applaud the efforts of my opponents Justin Time Cuber and ZuWo, another Federalist, who are bringing interesting, diverse ideas and visions up for a passionate discourse. I am running a
positive campaign focused on our future as a country, and I will always maintain my laser focus on the issues that matter to the country because
I care about all people, and I will put them before party and other politicians. That's why I'm asking you to give me the honor of representing all of you by voting for me.
