The Federal Budget
I have done a two part video on my thoughts on the federal budget and changes that I would like to make, such as ending tax cuts for the rich, ending our coal subsidy, and some wasteful spending. In the second part I talk about where I would like to spend more money, such as healthcare and education. The videos are available on youtube, you can watch them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GSGhiQsW3A and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3N9vFbFweI
Virtual Town Hall
I want to thank everyone who attended my first virtual town hall. There was not a big turnout, but there were some good questions. I understand that not everyone was able to attend due various reasons, such as work or other commitments. I uploaded it to the internet so you can watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqwboxLfHx0 I will do another town hall on February 28th at 2pm eastern time
Staffing Needs
Now that I have started my campaign in earnest, my campaign needs staff. I have a manager (though I don’t think he knows he’s my manager) and a treasurer who is working for free as long there is no real work. We have only $50 in campaign contributions and have spent $20. The FEC does not require reports until we hit $5000, so my treasurer has an easy job. I could really use a Social Media Person, but that might require about a hour of real work a day, which assuming a 5 day work week at minimum wage would come to $300 a month. I would also like some advisors on economics, education, and healthcare (or at least people willing to answer questions). If you know anyone who might be interested in helping me out, please refer them to me. They can always reach me at this email or through the contact link on my website. Let’s work on getting this campaign going strong.
