I'm an idea man turned man of action

If you don't like guns, don't own a gun. You have the right to bear arms as well as the right not to. I believe if you're put on the terror watch list, or are a danger to yourself and others, you forfeit that right. I myself own firearms and if I wanted more, I could go get them because I am a law-abiding citizen.

Same as the last, if you don't like/agree with abortion, don't get one. Sadly, families have to deal with this difficult decision everyday, and it's absolutely none of our business what their complications and hardships are. "Late Term Abortions" You need to understand that people who are 5, 6, 7 months into a pregnancy plan to have the baby. They've bought the crib, chosen a name, went to classes, etc. then get delivered horrible news. We should be more compassionate and understanding.

Medicare for All is a fantastic concept, If you say, "It's too expensive", it actually saves us money over time; this has been proven again and again. How high is your Health Insurance bill right now? Deductibles, Co-payments and Premiums? Now imagine you pay none of those ever again and don't have to fight your employers anymore for basic healthcare Insurance, and it especially saves money for small businesses who don't have the same negotiating power as big business. I refuse to let medical bankruptcy plague Americans any longer.

Keystone XL was violating sacred tribal lands & treaties, it deserved to be stopped. As I stated before, the time for oil and gas needs to be put behind us and we need to invest in cleaner, safer, renewable and more reliable power systems. We can and should start this progress immediately.

I don't believe you should be punished for achieving the American Dream but at the same time you shouldn't get a free ride. You should not pay more in taxes than the wealthiest people in this country, I pay my share and they should too.

I support higher wages and this is a good concept but would break a lot of small businesses in Montana. Each State has different needs, New York Cost of Living is a lot higher than in Belgrade, MT for example. Unless all the tax breaks went to small businesses making less than $2,000,000/yr in profits instead of Amazon and Wal-Mart (Like they should) some legitimately can't afford it. Those who can afford $15/hr but choose greed over generosity will have their names brought to light. Fair labor = Fair Pay.

Affordable Housing today is a is getting harder and harder to find and this isn't a brand new trend. There is a lot of land owned in Montana by those who live in States such as New York, Florida, Texas and California are the top 4 and charging their State prices here and it's impeding every American who wishes to one day save up for a home. 

The Idea I would propose to help everyone is the Federal Government create Federal Housing by acquiring 1 city block and building a grand apartment building that would cost $300/mo for a 1 bd 1 ba Apartment, $400/mo 2bd 2ba etc. and all of the money paid in rent every month would not go to make a profit for the Government but would pay for the Utilities, Maintenance and upkeep so the property would be paying for itself after the initial build. The goal would be to put at least one of these buildings in each city to help solve the housing issue.

Listening to multiple accounts from people who feel they are being forced out of their own state because other states see a good real estate opportunity here is unacceptable and I will be taking action against these outrageous prices.

One goal that has always fascinated me is to create the S.E.B Program, S.E.B stands for Sea Exploration and Biology. It would be a government agency similar to how NASA operates and it would also consist of the best Scientists and Marine experts the United States has to offer. This fascination with space is cool and all but I want to know our entire planet before we venture into the beyond. Did you know that only 5% of our oceans have been discovered and charted? There could be a unique metal down there or cavern systems lost to time or artifacts long forgotten. The possibilities are only 5% discovered, tell me this doesn't sound exhilarating!?

I want to keep the United States at the front of discovery and innovation and the ocean is the last undiscovered frontier left on Earth, embarking on this journey would be no easy feat but anything worth doing will take effort and perseverance and we got both.
