I certainly think he would have beaten him in 2016, and if he is the Dem. candidate next year then I will support him wholeheartedly.

Having perpetrated the wars In Vietnam & Iraq, both of which were catastrophic military misadventures, the US in the 21st-century should be the greatest purveyor of peace. Right now we do more to prepare for war than to wage peace; this will change or more catastrophe lies ahead.

Americans are awakening to the need for our nation to take a deep moral inventory. Then we will address the injustices in our economy, the state of our children, the state of our earth, our moral debts to be paid & our responsibility to wage peace from a much more powerful place.

A better version of the same old is still the same old same old, inadequate to the task of forging a sustainable future for the 21st-century. Incremental changes will not save us from the consequences of our errors. We need a national commitment to deep moral & political repair.

This isn’t about asking a commission of experts. It’s about appointing a council of experts who would decide on how funds are best disbursed to allow for economic & educational renewal. Obviously it would take much study for them to decide, and their selection would be critical.

3) Children are full citizens of the US, with “unalienable rights to life, liberty, & pursuit of happiness”. Millions of children living in America’s “domestic war zones” cannot pursue happiness, and we should rescue them no less than if they were victims of any other disaster.

2)If someone neglects a child it is considered unethical at best & criminal at worst. So what is a society that neglects the trauma of millions of American children? This should be seen as a humanitarian crisis, because it is. It is immoral that we are not helping these children

1) Millions of American children are trapped in schools without adequate school supplies to teach a child to read. If a child can’t read by 8, chances of high school graduation vastly decreased & chances of incarceration vastly increased. We have simply normalized their despair.

I don't understand why so many people think no one else gets it. The American people are noble enough; we just haven't been offered a genuinely noble political alternative in a very long time.

I'm not running to say what I think people want to hear; I'm running to say what I believe needs to be said. Why don't we give people the option of doing the right thing, and see if they'll vote for it? Maybe they won't, but it still will have impacted the ethers that it was said

I'm not a one-issue candidate actually; this is just the issue of mine that has gotten mainstream attention. Please see the Issues section on marianne2020.com
