Allen Waters on Principles & Values

 

 


America is divided & growing more polarized

Q: What do you perceive to be America's greatest challenges?

A: America is a divided nation that is growing more polarized between the two major political parties, and between extreme ideologies from left to right among the general public. I am most concerned with the subset of the Democratic Party that by deeds versus word alone are growing more authoritarian in nature. I believe America has a growing Marxist problem, and the resetting of America from the original intent of the founders.

Grew up in Providence; lived & ran in MA; now running in RI

Allen Rodney Waters describes himself as a black Republican with "conservative values." Waters intends to drop his long-shot campaign against Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and run against Democrat Jack Reed. Waters has lived in Mashpee (MA) for the last 15 years, and will move back to his family's home in Providence. Voters in Rhode Island "need to understand" they have a choice, he said.

Waters describes himself as a third-generation Rhode Islander, his father a Providence police officer, his late mother a bookkeeper at The Wheeler School. He graduated in the 1970s from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in business administration. He left Rhode Island in 2003 to manage a Charles Schwab branch in Baltimore and segued from there to Mashpee, Mass., where he has lived since 2005.

Waters ran a short-lived campaign against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2017. [Along with his brief run against Markey in 2019], Waters acknowledges now he had no chance against these "giants."

Strongly protect religious liberty, according to AFA survey.

Waters supports the AFA survey question on religious liberty

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): `Grounded in God; rooted in research`; they `thoroughly investigate candidates`; when they cannot `evaluate with confidence, they receive an `Insufficient` rating` (& we exclude)

Strongly pro-Judeo-Christian morality, according to AFA survey.

Waters supports the AFA survey question on Judeo-Christian values
