PURNIMA'S VISION FOR A STRONG & SECURE AMERICAN FUTURE

National Security

Government's primary job is to protect its law-abiding "good" citizens. Years of failed policies have brought Wisconsin to its ruins, making the community unsafe for children, women, and families. Having a criminal justice system that has goal of peoples' safety & security is the first sign of developed society.

Legal Immigration

Illegal immigration is a slap on the face of people who legally immigrated to America. Skipping lines, forcing/coercing/intimidating/threatening America to provide for illegal border crossers is NOT fair & just process for the ones who waited in line and followed the law of the land. Awarding criminals sets precedence on lack of responsibility, and criminals. What is the benefit of following the law then? #SayYesToLegalImmigration

Border Security

Open border is allowing shameless invasion of this country. We do not know who might be settled in our backyards. Risk of terrorism is creating extremely vulnerable and dangerous society. #SayNoToInvasion

Law & Order

Law enforcement's hands are locked. Judiciary & activist court systems have released criminals [with history of heinous past] onto the street with no consequences. Gradual increase of crime spike, but our government does not care. Allowing law enforcement the respect to do their job without handcuffing them will ensure we have an appropriate law & order system in our society where innocent people and their lives are not unjustly targeted, terrorized & endangered.

Fiscal Management

Decades of tax increase to fulfill "wishlist" of government has pushed our citizens into poverty. There is no end of it in sight. We cannot live like this while elites occupy the political positions [living off of taxpayers dollars from poor people]. We need real "progress" of economic development and thriving community. Crimes, Education, Economy and Development are directly connected. We cannot lose America.

Education & Development

They say, education is the door to opportunity. But proper education is key. Enforcing education without choice will allow corruption to seep in and merit/hard work will not be valued and rewarded. Education & Development go hand in hand. Hence I want to ensure there is focus on merit & critical thinking. We then can develop a society that would be beneficial for all. I stand for Education that is free from special interest group's agenda. I stand for Education Over Indoctrination.

Equal Opportunity For Equals [MERIT, NOT EQUITY]

Equity is driven on wrong parameters of forcing for same outcome, whereas, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to equals is based on merit - not handed out. Healthy commitment to improve individual performance in order to earn certain opportunities & resources is necessary to push the society forward. EQUITY robs the opportunity of growth. So, equality over equity is better for healthy progressive society. #DEIscam is America's Dirty Caste System.
