Peace and Justice Hernando County Advocating for justice, equality, and peace. If we want the American Dream to be attainable for generations to come we must face our biggest challenges head on.

After prayer with my family and reaching out directly to the people of the 6th district, today I have filed to run for Georgia's 6th Congressional district special election on April 18, 2017. As a Christian rooted in the American working class, at an early age my family instilled in me a strong faith, trust in God, and to always value hard work- from my first jobs as a paperboy and dishwasher to m

y time as a Property Craftspersons in the film industry, you work hard in pursuit of the American Dream. For too long Democrats and Republicans have ignored our biggest challenges, because both parties are beholden to moneyed interest. As an independent I will only be beholden to the People of the 6th district. I'm calling my platform Constitution & Independence. It has 3 parts: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Life is a healthcare plan. We save Medicare, because it's our money, the program works, and it needs to be there when folks need it. Liberty is a plan to take care of our Veterans and military. We give our men and women in service a raise. We pay for it by going to the Pentagon, finding the $6.5 TRILLION the Pentagon lost, holding the folks who lost the money accountable, and diverting those funds to our Veterans as a thank you. The Pursuit of Happiness is an economic plan. We follow what Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower did with the interstate system. We put a lot of people to work rebuilding our country, our waterway systems, roads, and bridges. These would be good paying jobs that would not go anywhere. In order to form a more perfect union, I pledge to work with anyone from either party on 2 things; 1. getting money out of politics and 2. term limits. One of the biggest reasons our government does not respond to the People is because our elected officials are financed by special interests, often causing our elected officials to make questionable votes. Also, once elected, some folks tend to be in Congress for what seems forever. If elected, I will not serve in the House longer than 1 Senator's term of 6 years. While serving I will work with anyone willing to enact term limits. I am running for Congress to represent the People, to be a check and balance the powers of the other federal branches. Congress needs an independent voice that will stand for the Constitution and stand for Georgians, and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For too long Congress has taken their constitutional responsibilities lightly. I will not. I will work tirelessly for the People of Georgia's 6th. With your vote, I can be an independent voice for an independent people. Después de la oración con mi familia y de llegar directamente a la gente del 6to distrito, hoy he presentado para funcionar para la 6ta elección especial del districto del congreso de Georgia el 18 de abril de 2017. Como cristiano arraigado en la clase obrera americana, en una edad temprana mi familia me inculcó una fe fuerte, la confianza en Dios, y siempre valoró el trabajo duro - desde mis primeros trabajos como papelero y lavavajillas hasta mi tiempo como Artesanos de la Propiedad En la industria del cine, trabajas duro en la búsqueda del sueño americano. Si queremos que el Sueño Americano sea alcanzable para las generaciones venideras debemos afrontar nuestros mayores desafíos de frente. Durante demasiado tiempo los demócratas y los republicanos han ignorado nuestros mayores desafíos, porque ambas partes están obligadas a intereses monetarios. Como persona independiente, sólo estaré en deuda con el pueblo del sexto distrito. Estoy llamando a mi plataforma Constitution and Independence. Tiene 3 partes: Vida, Libertad, y la búsqueda de la felicidad. La vida es un plan de salud. Ahorramos Medicare, porque es nuestro dinero, el programa funciona, y necesita estar allí cuando la gente lo necesite. Liberty es un plan para cuidar a nuestros veteranos y militares. Le damos a nuestros hombres y mujeres en servicio un aumento. Pagamos por ir al Pentágono, encontrando los $ 6.5 billones que el Pentágono perdió, manteniendo a la gente que perdió el dinero responsable y desviando esos fondos a nuestros veteranos como un agradecimiento. La búsqueda de la felicidad es un plan económico. Seguimos lo que el presidente republicano Dwight D. Eisenhower hizo con el sistema interestatal. Pusimos a mucha gente para trabajar reconstruyendo nuestro país, nuestros sistemas de vías navegables, carreteras y puentes. Estos serían trabajos bien pagados que no irían a ninguna parte. Para formar una unión más perfecta, me comprometo a trabajar con cualquier persona de cualquiera de las dos partes en 2 cosas; 1. sacar dinero de la política y 2. limitar el plazo. Una de las mayores razones por las que nuestro gobierno no responde al pueblo es porque nuestros funcionarios electos son financiados por intereses especiales, lo que a menudo hace que nuestros funcionarios electos hagan votos cuestionables. Además, una vez elegido, algunas personas tienden a estar en el Congreso por lo que parece para siempre. Si es elegido, no serviré en la Cámara más de un período de 6 años. Durante el servicio, trabajaré con alguien dispuesto a promulgar límites de plazo. Estoy postulando al Congreso para representar al Pueblo, para ser un cheque y equilibrar los poderes de las otras ramas federales. El Congreso necesita una voz independiente que represente la Constitución y represente a los georgianos, y la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad. Durante demasiado tiempo el Congreso ha tomado sus responsabilidades constitucionales a la ligera. No lo haré. Trabajaré incansablemente para el Pueblo de Georgia 6to. Con su voto, puedo ser una voz independiente para un pueblo independiente

🚨🚨 2020 Presidential Endorsment 🚨🚨
I’m 100% behind Bernie Sanders for President. As the longest serving independent in government, Bernie offers the only People first campaign. His vision for a workers first in government and work is what we need now more than ever.

As Bernie’s slogan goes. Not me. Us.

Change will never come without political participation. Join the political revolution today.

I fully endorse and support Lucy McBath for Congress:
Lucy is the only working class candidate in the race and will fight for working People of the 6th, Georgia, and the entire country. She is the kind of person we need in Washington.

During the 6th district special election, unlike many of her constituents, I had a chance to exchange in dialogue with candidate Karen Handel. During one of the candidate forums, she agreed with me that the health insurance industry is the root of our countries healthcare crisis, but as she wields power in Washington, Karen has only used her power to support the health insurance industry, while working folks across this country suffer.

Karen’s latest campaign ad attacking Lucy on healthcare is disingenuous and outright lies. We will not solve our healthcare crisis by submitting to the will of the health insurance industry and Pill Hill, as Karen has done.

The 6th and Georgia need an advocate for them who wants to take on the insurance industry that hurts every day people for their profit. Lucy is the person we need in Washington.

What POTUS did yesterday was an act of war. Congress has a Constitutional obligation to declare wars. The rich start wars, the working class and working poor fight and die in the rich men's wars. Spineless Congress has not declared war since Dec 1941. I have been calling for Congress to do their job and declare wars. If our representatives do not have to courage to stand behind their convictions and vote for or against a war they ought to find a new line of work. Send a worker to Congress that will work for the People.
