On Education: Schools are failing children

If 2010 was the year of the tea party, than 2022 will be the year of the Parent Party. Parents are fed up with politicians putting the interest of lobbyists ahead of their children. Parents are fed up with politicians playing politics with their children's education. Parents are fed up with their children being pawns in the political agenda of others.

You heard it here first, 2022 will be the year that Parents step up and hold their elected officials accountable for ensuring that their children receive a proper education.

In 2022, it will be the school board election races that will drive many parents to the polls because they realize the schools are failing their children.

On Education: Funding should follow the student rather than fund systems

Children are stuck in failing schools and many hard-working families have limited resources to ensure their children are properly educated. Mark firmly believes that education funding should always follow the student, rather than fund systems. He will be a strong supporter of any proposal that focuses federal fund support for students regardless of where they and their parents choose to go.

On Free Trade: Encourage US manufacturing, don't rely on foreign industry

The shortages at stores of things we use on a daily basis or wanted to give as gifts during the holidays illustrated how reliant we are on goods manufactured overseas. We need policies that allow for and encourage manufacturing in the United States so that we are not reliant on foreign governments or industries for the products we use on a daily basis.

On Health Care: COVID isolation policy caused poor job market & inflation

[Letters posted on Twitter]: Dear Gavin,

I appreciate your concern for Californians struggling to make ends meet with record inflation, gas prices, and a poor job market (which you caused with your COVID policies).

But government spending is what has caused record inflation in the first place.

Your 'solution' will only make the problem worse. Your 'solution' doesn't get to the causes of inflation.

When I am elected to the U.S. Senate, I will start working on the root causes right away. I will stop the reckless government spending.

Dear Dr. Fauci and Gavin Newsom,

Your policies during #covid where people were isolated not because of health status but based on your determination of how essential their occupation was not only violated their Due Process rights but it also contradicted the science.

Follow the science should not be a sound bite, it should actually be the guiding principle of a governor and public health official.

On Immigration: Don't defund the border patrol

Crime - people do not feel safe and what I can do about it when I am elected to U.S. Senate. (Hint the answer is not to defund the police or border patrol as my opposition wants to do).

On Immigration: Strengthen law enforcement's ability to protect the border

Biden's refusal to enforce existing immigration laws has caused the crisis on our southern border. The crisis hits our communities every day by increasing the supply of deadly drugs and enabling human traffickers to take advantage of the most vulnerable - our children. Congress needs to rein in the power of the President, ensuring that he will enforce the law and to provide the necessary resources strengthening law enforcement's ability to protect the border.

On Principles & Values: Vote twice: short-term and long-term Senate on same ballot

Please share to educate California voters:

When Kamala Harris became Vice President, she resigned her Senate seat. The U.S. Constitution permits Gavin Newsom to appoint her successor but that appointment is only valid until Election Day (November 8th).

As such, I am on your ballot twice, once for the short term which covers November 9th to January 3. This means California can end the 50/50 Senate and make sure there is no lame duck session after the #RedWave2022. You can vote for me a second time for the full term that begins January 3rd.

I am the only challenger to Gavin Newsom's appointed Senator who purchased a ballot statement for both the short term and the full term. Do not split your vote, #VoteTwice for me to be your United States Senator.

On War & Peace: Foreign policy weakness allowed Russian invasion of Ukraine

President Biden March 26 speech in Poland: "Ukraine and its people are on the frontlines fighting to save their nation. And their brave resistance is part of a larger fight for an essential democratic principles that unite all free people: the rule of law; free and fair elections; the freedom to speak, to write, and to assemble; the freedom to worship as one chooses; freedom of the press.

[Meuser's reply]: Dear Brandon,

Just writing you a quick note. Words have meaning. When you express concern that arming a "Resistance" in Ukraine could have consequences, you are using the wrong term. The government of Ukraine and its military is not a "Resistance." They are defending themselves from an invasion. By referring to a "Resistance," you signal your belief that the Russians have already won.

Your foreign policy weakness encouraged Russia to attack Ukraine. Your use of the wrong terms will only encourage them more.

Signed,

Someone Who Doesn't Like Unnecessary Wars
