Q. AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

Oregon ~ Native Son (Ashland)

■ LIKE-MINDS UNITE

"Lend me your oval graphite."

Put down your flaming torches and pick up your No.2 pencils ✏️ Better yet, ballpoint pens.

● We're better than this.
● Better than the worst of us.

● Imagine how much good we can accomplish if we'd just stop bickering, saber-rattling, and undermining each other. NOTHING is getting accomplished.

● Oregon taxpayers are NOT getting the "bang" for the buck, they deserve. Let's fix that.

■ The Middle-Class MAJORITY deserves better!!!

● Imagine Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Green Party, Working Family Party, etc., all working together.

● Imagine your favorite sports team where the offense constantly undermines the defense. Or vice versa. There are no winners. No championships. No victories. No Parades. No trophies. No Rings. Nothing gets accomplished.

● So why do YOU allow it in politics?

● Enough, already!

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎☆☆☆☆☆▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

■ HOMLESSNESS

● WE MUST STOP TRYING TO ASSIMILATE. It's a $2B+ failed policy, mindset.

   •• Square pegs don't fit inside round holes.

● My plan incentivizes.

● Yet my detailed plan sits on the Governor’s desk, since February 2025! Her point person State Rep Pam Marsh, is equally silent. The Governor has committed $2B+ taxpayer's dollars to placate the homeless, kicking the proverbial can down the street.

I WILL solve this inhumane crisis by Executive Order.

● We need real leadership as stewards for our nation and our state. Not spineless, milquetoast sycophants.

● There are enough agendas percolating to choke a horse. 

(We need to save those poor horses!)

■ Let's find commonalities and embrace those.

● Oregon will  never surrender.
● From mail-in ballots to SNAP.

● But understand, government programs must serve as trampolines not hammocks.

● Look, if YOU (or the collective, WE) don't change our mindsets, then nothing changes.

"If you always do as you've always done you'll ALWAYS get what you've always gotten."

Make sense?

● Let's start talking with our neighbors, again.

● Let's invite our estranged family members back to the table.

■ YOUR TOP PRIORITY IS MY TOP PRIORITY. 

● We simply MUST STOP anointing aristocrats, bigots & bullies, obstructionists, and conspiracy theorists as our rulers.

Make more sense!?

If we just do just this one thing, we can build something great, together.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎☆☆☆☆☆▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

● FYI: [KODEL] comes from the WASH DC acronym CODEL (CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATE).

•• It's not voodoo.

•• It's the perfect Middle-Class MAJORITY party.

■ But until then, I'm proudly running on the BLUE ticket.

Read my positions, my vision for America the Beautiful. It begins here, in Oregon.
