Now is the time to join the spirit of RFK Jr to do what is right for the country leaving behind the decaying influence of the Leftist Democratic leaders and and striving for the highest purpose. I've had some great conversations with Democrats as I go door to door.

Two countries have substantially reduced homelessness. Finland and Japan. They are strict about drug and alcohol use, but compassionate and practical when it comes to housing and support services.

Most democrats are wonderful people, but I have noticed that the leadership has gone far left with an ends justifies the means attitude.

Practical community issues are number one. Top rated public education, safety, repaired and clean infrastructure, schools and parents are partners with parents as the subjects, overcoming homelessness, drug issues, providing relevant and effective services, etc. As with students everyone wants to succeed but they are often blocked. Offering love, hope, and healthy choices works best. At the same time with freedom comes responsibility. Healing adults and healing kids involves similar principles.

Prevention is much easier and better than curing after the fact. Stable homes, mental, and spiritual health, all go a long way in preventing dysfunction and then more resources are available to solve ongoing problems.

As a long time teacher in many different venues I have a lot of first hand experience with what works and what doesn't. All students want to succeed but some give up and act out. Giving them choices and individually tailored lessons brings success and they want more.

As a former Civil Engineering technician and student engineer with Duquesne Light Co. I'm familiar with the issues of balancing technology with safety, financing, and clean air and water. "When we destroy nature, we diminish our capacity to sense the Divine." RFK Jr.

EVs, solar, and wind are great, but also have flaws. We need to look at everything. Hydrogen, scrubbing, even new safe, clean nukes. And fusion remains as the Holy Grail! Technology has enabled us to care for a growing population and nature better.

When it comes to moral issues I strive for the ideal, but the reality is we all fall short in different areas. Let's work together and help each other reach the ideal.

Both parties working together is ideal. It's like a marriage. Both sides should respectfully discuss, not attack personally, listen honestly, and compromise for the greater good. Good politics is like a good growing, robust marriage. And if you're single, the same principles apply to friends and family.

Taxes! Lower taxes often lead to more revenue for the government because it allows economic activity to increase, thereby creating more tax revenue. It benefits everyone. Huge expenditures should not be made on untested theories, often driven by politics.
