UNAFFILIATED INDEPENDENTS ARE THE MAJORITY IN THIS DISTRICT
- CD5 / EL PASO COUNTY IS 52% UNAFFILIATED INDEPENDENTS.
- WE ARE MORE THAN DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS COMBINED.
- DEMOCRATS ARE 16% & REPUBLICANS ARE 29%.
- IT'S TIME FOR "UNAFFILIATED INDEPENDENTS" TO LEAD.
- WE INVITE DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS TO JOIN US.
- TOGETHER - WE MOVE THE COMMUNITY FORWARD.
- NOT LEFT NOT RIGHT >> BUT FORWARD.
POLITICS & THE ECONOMY IS MAKING THIS COUNTRY & THIS COMMUNITY SICKER, POORER & LESS TOLERANT OF EACH OTHER.
DEMOCRACY, NATIONAL SECURITY & THE ECONOMY
1 -BEFORE RETIRING FROM LOCKHEED MARTIN ASTRONAUTICS, I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR LEADING & PREPARING THE "TITAN LAUNCH VEHICLE" TEAM FOR AN AIR FORCE AUDIT ON A $3.5 BILLION DOLLAR "ADD-ON" TO THE TITAN LAUNCH VEHICLE PROGRAM.
2 - THE AIR FORCE AUDIT TEAM WAS LED BY MR WILLIAM HILL. AT THE END OF THE AUDIT THE AIR FORCE FOUND ZERO DEFICIENCIES. MR HILL TOLD ME THAT WAS THE 1st TIME THE AIR FORCE CONDUCTED AN AUDIT OF THAT MAGNITUDE & FOUND ZERO DEFICIENCIES.
3 - THAT MEANT THE $3.5 BILLION WAS PROPERLY ALLOCATED & BEING SPENT IN A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER => NO FRAUD, WASTE OR ABUSE. I SHARE THIS TO DOCUMENT I UNDERSTAND & APPRECIATE THE NECESSITY FOR BOTH NATIONAL SECURITY & FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
4 - OUR BORDER IS BROKEN... CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL... OUR DEBT & DEFICIT IS UNSUSTAINABLE... THESE ARE THREATS TO NATIONAL SECURITY. I APOLOGIZE TO GEN Z & MILLENNIALS FOR THE CLIMATE MESS & FINANCIAL DEBT WE CREATED FOR YOU. ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE EVERY REASON TO BE CYNICAL ABOUT DEMOCRACY - DON'T ABANDON IT. HELP ME MAKE IT BETTER... DON'T "GHOST" YOUR VOTE.
5 - AT SOME POINT WE MUST REALIZE BOMBS WILL NEVER PAVE A PATH TO PEACE FOR ISRAEL & PALESTINIANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ISRAEL IS GRIEVING THE BRUTAL RAPE & MURDER OF HER SONS & DAUGHTERS. WE NEED TO BREAK-THROUGH HER GRIEF & MAKE HER UNDERSTAND IT'S IN "HER BEST INTEREST" TO SEEK JUSTICE NOT REVENGE.
6 - MESSAGE TO MY REPUBLICAN FRIENDS: WE SHOULD THANK DOUG LAMBORN FOR STEPPING DOWN & "DIVORCING" HIMSELF FROM THE "ELECTION DENIERS" THAT HAVE TAKEN FULL CONTROL OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN WASHINGTON DC... NO REPUBLICAN CAN HOLD UP TO THE EXTREME "ELECTION DENIER" LEADERSHIP IN CONGRESS IN WASHINGTON DC. EVEN KEN BUCK COULDN'T HOLD UP... IF OLD PROs LIKE DOUG LAMBORN & KEN BUCK STEPPED DOWN CUZ THEY COULDN'T HOLD UP, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR JEFF CRANK TO CRACK & GO ALL-IN WITH "PROJECT 2025" & THE "ELECTION DENIER" AGENDA? FOR THIS REASON - FOR THE SAKE OF DEMOCRACY - WE CAN NOT SEND JEFF CRANK TO CONGRESS.
7 - MESSAGE TO MY DEMOCRAT FRIENDS: THE ASSAULT ON OUR DEMOCRACY WILL CONTINUE REGARDLESS WHO WINS THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION... WE CAN NOT SURVIVE THIS ASSAULT IF "ELECTION DENIERS" REMAIN IN CONTROL OF CONGRESS. LOOK AT THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT IN OFFICE - IMAGE THE DAMAGE WITH "PROJECT 2025" AND A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. IF YOU KNOW EL PASO COUNTY - YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART EL PASO COUNTY IS NOT READY TO SEND A DEMOCRAT TO CONGRESS. FOR THIS REASON, FOR THE SAKE OF DEMOCRACY & NATIONAL SECURITY - PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE. PLEASE VOTE FOR AN "UNAFFILIATED INDEPENDENT" THAT CAN ACTUALLY WIN.
8 - I BELIEVE THE PEOPLE OF EL PASO COUNTY UNDERSTAND THE MOMENT & WILL RISE TO THE OCCASION.
THE ECONOMY
LEADER OF TEAMSTERS UNION AT 2024 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
1 - IN FEB 2024, THE STOCK MARKET & THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO PAID CASH TO BUY A NEW HOUSE WERE BOTH AT RECORD HIGHS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME - THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T AFFORD THEIR RENT WAS ALSO AT A RECORD HIGH. WHAT'S MY POINT? MY POINT IS WEALTH IS CREATING WEALTH AT AN ACCELERATED PACE AND THE "WORKING CLASS" IS GETTING LEFT BEHIND. BOTH PARTIES ARE COMPLICIT.
2 - IN 15 TO 20 YEARS COLORADO SPRINGS WILL BE THE BIGGEST CITY IN THE STATE. AS WE GROW, INFRASTRUCTURE & PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS WILL INCREASE EXPONENTIALLY... HOUSING & THE "COST OF LIVING" WILL QUICKLY OUT PACE "WAGE GROWTH" & MANY WHO LIVE & WORK HERE TODAY WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE TOMORROW. WE NEED URGENT, PROACTIVE INITIATIVES THAT ANTICIPATE & RESOLVE INFRASTRUCTURE, HOUSING, HEALTHCARE, CHILDCARE, HOMELESS & SCHOOL RELATED ISSUES WE KNOW WILL BE AMPLIFIED BY GROWTH.
3 - CAPITALISM IS THE BEST ECONOMIC SYSTEM IN THE WORLD & IT WORKS BEST WHEN IT WORKS FOR EVERYONE... FOR TOO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY IT'S NOT WORKING - TOO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY WORKING 2 JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET - TOO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND 1 UNFORTUNATE ENCOUNTER WITH A POTHOLE COULD BE FINANCIALLY DEVASTATING.
4 - IN 2010, THERE WAS A SUPREME COURT RULING CALLED "CITIZENS UNITED" THAT SAID "CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE". THIS SUPREME COURT RULING MADE IT "LEGAL" FOR CORPORATIONS TO DONATE UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF "DARK" MONEY TO POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. THIS RULING MADE IT LEGAL FOR CORPORATIONS TO "BUY" OUR LAWMAKERS. LAWMAKERS FROM BOTH PARTIES ARE PAID BY "BIG TECH", "BIG BANKS", "BIG AGRICULTURE", "BIG OIL", "BIG PHARMA" ETC - TO MAKE SURE "UNREGULATED FREE MARKETS" STAY UNREGULATED. CORPORATE ABUSE OF "UNREGULATED FREE MARKETS" IS WHY THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING IS SO HIGH.
5 - IF CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE THEY SHOULD BE "GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS". BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS SHOULD NOT GOUGE CONSUMERS FOR AS MUCH AS THEY CAN WHILE PAYING WORKERS AS LITTLE AS THEY CAN. THIS IS CORPORATE ABUSE. WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ABUSE BEFORE AI ESCALATES IT TO A LEVEL BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
6 - I WILL WORK WITH LABOR UNIONS, THE "PATRIOTIC MILLIONAIRES", "MILLIONAIRES FOR HUMANITY" & MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO BUILD A COALITION TO HELP BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS (LIKE AMAZON) UNDERSTAND THAT BEING A GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THEIR COMPANY, OUR COUNTRY & OUR COMMUNITY. WE CAN DO BETTER.

1 - IMMIGRATION
I SUPPORT SAFE, LEGAL, CONTROLLED IMMIGRATION BUT I DON'T SUPPORT "SANCTUARY CITIES"... THE LAWS FOR SANCTUARY CITIES ARE FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE & THEY'RE CREATING A FINANCIAL CRISIS IN DENVER & BIG CITIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I DON'T WANT COLORADO SPRINGS TO BE A SANCTUARY CITY. HAVING SAID THAT - WE HAVE 11.5 MILLION HARDWORKING, TAXPAYING IMMIGRANTS IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE CRITICAL TO OUR ECONOMY & THEY DESERVE A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP. WE MUST ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A HUMANE, THOUGHTFUL MANNER WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING OUR BORDER IS BROKEN & OUR ENEMIES ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT.
2 - ABORTION
I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL A WOMAN WHAT TO DO WITH HER BODY... THEREFORE, I SUPPORT SAFE, LEGAL ABORTIONS AND "A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE".
3 - GUNS
I DON'T TRUST 18 YEAR OLDS WITH AR15S... I'M NOT AGAINST GUNS - I HAVE GUNS BUT I BELIEVE A CIVILIZED SOCIETY MUST HAVE "REASONABLE" GUN LAWS. IN 1999 I WENT TO FUNERALS FOR 3 KIDS WHO DIED IN THE COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL MASSACRE. THE MOTHER OF 1 OF THE KIDS WORKED AT LOCKHEED MARTIN.
4 - PUBLIC SAFETY
WE NEED POLICE OFFICERS TO ADDRESS CRIMMINAL ACTIVITY IN A TIMELY, RESPONSIBLE MANNER AND WE NEED OTHER "SERVICE PROVIDERS" TO ADDRESS NON-CRIMMINAL ACTIVITY. BEING HOMELESS IS NOT A CRIME. WE NEED "CRIMMINAL JUSTICE REFORM" & WE NEED POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY BUT THE CALLS TO "DEFUND THE POLICE" ARE MISGUIDED. ALSO, THE "NO CASH BAIL" LAWS ARE WELL-INTENDED BUT HAVE PROVEN TO BE FLAWED & NEED TO BE RE-WRITTEN. WE CAN HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY WITHOUT COMPROMISING CIVIL LIBERTIES OR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
5 - VETERANS
VETERAN HOUSING & HEALTHCARE MUST BE A PRIORITY AND THESE SERVICES NEED TO STREAMLINED & DELIVERED WITHOUT BIAS.
6 - LGBTQ+ RIGHTS
I SUPPORT THE GAY COMMUNITY & I SUPPORT LAWS THAT PROTECT THEM FROM DISCRIMINATION IN JOBS, PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS & HOUSING BUT I DON'T SUPPORT BIOLOGICAL MEN COMPETING AGAINST WOMEN IN SPORTS AND I DON'T SUPPORT TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR MINORS.
