All men are created equal and our government should hold that promise true.The second key component of my campaign is preserving our national forests and clean renewable energy. These contribute to the beauty of our landscape and ensure that future generations get to grow up and enjoy the beauty untouched by man that the earth has to offer us. Transitioning to clean renewable energy gives humanity a sustainable future and helps create a strong economy by creating jobs and strength in the American EconomyThe Third component of my campaign is a Medicaid for all proposal. Medicaid for all is a complete and comprehensive healthcare plan from birth to the grave for all US Citizens. No family should bear the cost of a medical issue, no one should forgo healthcare because of the costs. Medicaid for all ensures that no matter who you are or how much you make you can get quality healthcare that works for you. Politicians should not be in charge of your medical needs and Medicaid for all puts the power of your medical decisions back into the hands of you and your doctor.
