ECONOMIC POPULISM
End usury-level interest rates on credit cards
End abusive fees on credit cards
Free market, but anything “essential” like utilities must be regulated
We propose no additional “free stuff”
Increase home ownership; more housing opportunities, esp. on government land
End overcharging for prescription drugs
Address overall costs in the Medical industry; more medicalnon-profits needed
Scale back rules and regulations for day care, nursing homes, assisted living, and other elderly housing, in conjunction with tort reform specific to those industries, in order to make these services affordable.
No changing the tax plans to favor the wealthy; no flat tax; no national sales tax
More tax credits for child care costs
Social Security can be made self-sustaining by abolishing “the cap”
Tort reform to reduce insurance costs and reign in on excesses in the legal industry
No more raising interest rates to curb inflation; when inflation needs to be curbed, the last resort is to do it by taxation. That way the money goes to pay down the national debt, not gobbled up by the banks. Be smartfolks, and we can reverse the National Debt Clock

COMMON SENSE ON THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, & FOOD
Clean Air, Clean Water are basic needs
Parks and open space are good Reasonable protections for endangered species; nothing excessive. Support for species rescue programs by zoos.
Both sides are lying on global warming and spinning the issue just like they spin our news; let’s get back to real science. In time, we'll sort out the lies and the truth and report accordingly to the American public.

END THE DEEP STATE; FOLLOW THE US CONSTITUTION
Global Peace through Global Prosperity; as nations advance

End abuses of “National State of Emergency” since 1933

More focus on rehabilitation and spiritual development
Limit international espionage; most of what the world is doing is their business, not ours.
End Civil Asset Forfeiture
Citizens United ruling has corrupted both major political parties; repeal it. We don't care that it slightly favors Republicans. A populist movement cannot support it.
“Never” to electronic currency replacing physical currency
“Never” to implanted chips in the hands or forehead to scan for purchasing

Shift many public services to the private sector, especiallyincluding local Dept. of Public Works responsibilities.
Allow police to be augmented by private-sector security

Local "Neighborhood Councils" canoversee their communities and hire DPW-type services
Greater auditing of municipal government spending
More Faith-based and non-profit organization.
And, most importantly, our housing proposals (see Housing page up top).
CULTURAL REFORMS
Artists and Entertainers, and the Media, Advertising, and Fashion industries are the main cause of negative social change in America. These four industries are the cause of disunity, and of the political strife of our times. They are pushing a once-proud Democratic Party to the extreme Left. They are our adversary, not Democrats. A great many Democrats are going to support us, and will come over to our side. They are already walking away. The Welcome Movement is the next logical step.
We are not pretending to be everything to everyone, and we don't care if the four industries that dominate popular culture don't like reading this. By a ratio of at least 10:1, they will never support us because they reject our core values (left column), our embrace of Faith, and our openly declared desire to create a populism to challenge them.
Nobody has ever lain out a plan like this. How dare us.
Individual artists and entertainers, and even local poets, are more than welcomed to support us, and to challenge your peers. You will receive much love and praise from us. Good luck!
