Legislative Agenda

The campaign finance system is broken. Super PACs and shadowy nonprofits give enormous sway to the super-wealthy and big corporations. Organizations like The Brennan Center are working to build a better system, pushing for public financing that matches small donations with public money, and regulations to eliminate illegal foreign spending. Further, we are waging a long-term fight to overturn misguided Supreme Court rulings that weaken crucial protections.

​

Among the changes we intend to introduce is a ban of corporate private and special interest donations to federal candidates for public office. Each viable federal candidate should be awarded an equal, flat amount to fund and finance their campaigns.

​

Money should not have the influence that we witnessed in the last election where Elon Musk, almost single-handedly  bought the election for Donald Trump. That was $288 million worth of political power, which served two people and two people only.

I bought my first house in 1974. As a teenager, I was excited about this huge accomplishment. It was many years after the fact that I came to the realization there is no such thing as home ownership in America.

​

If you don't believe that, the next time you receive the tax bill for your home, don't pay it and see how long you own your home.

​

We intend to propose new legislation that changes all that. The purpose is to eliminate the tax burden for homeowner's who have either paid their homes in full and/or have reached the age of 65.

Members of our nation's highest court should be elected by the voice of the people of the United States and held to the same standards of accountability as the President of the United States, 2 four-year terms. Additionally, the Chief Justice should be a rotating position.

Too much power with little to no accountability serves no one but the power holder.

​

Revisit and put to a vote H.J. Res. 3 to impose term limits on members of the United States Congress.

​

Congress was not designed as a career move but rather as an opportunity for ordinary citizens to serve in office, to present new, different and innovative ideas for a season and then to return home.

A balanced budget amendment aims to prevent the federal government from running budget deficits by requiring that annual spending not exceed annual revenue.

Fiscal Discipline:
A balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution would force politicians to make more responsible decisions about spending and taxation, leading to a more accountable government.
Limited Government Growth:
A balanced budget could make it harder for politicians to increase spending through borrowing, potentially reducing the size of government.
Reduced Debt:
By requiring balanced budgets, the amendment could lead to a decrease in the national debt over time.
Economic Benefits:
Lower deficits could lead to lower interest rates, increased savings, and overall economic growth.
Improved Public Trust:
Achieving balanced budgets might improve public trust in government and politicians.

This is one issue that is very dear to Keith's heart. Decades ago he lived on the streets of several cities. While he wasn't your typical homeless person, but he was homeless nonetheless. These are America's forgotten citizens.

​

Sadly, at least 1/3 of the homeless on the streets of America today, are veterans of the United States Armed Forces. No vet should ever be homeless in America...

not now... NOT EVER!!!
