There’s a reason why we’re not adequately dealing with the climate crisis... We must deal with the deep corruption. The American people must step in now.

“Soul force” is a concept first put forth by Gandhi. He saw it as a political concept, the idea that love could heal political as well as personal relationships. There is a lot of soul force in the world; where it’s lacking is in our politics and that’s where we most need it now.

Soul force is as powerful as brute force! We can’t rely on war preparedness alone but must also learn to wage peace. In order to provide for our security we need a US Dept. Of Peace. Peace is not the absence of war; war is the absence of peace. marianne2020.com/issues/us-d…

The greatest source of energy and power we have with which to fuel abundance in the 21st-century lies in the brainpower of America’s children. We need a massive realignment of investment in the direction of our young. marianne2020.com/issues/plan…

Corporatist to citizen: “Give us all your money and we’ll create you a job.” Citizen to corporatist: “Give me my basic right to universal healthcare, a good education and a decent shot - and I’ll create my own damn career.”

Money doesn’t come from a bunch of corporate aristocrats dropping crumbs from the table in the form of job creation; money comes from the creativity and productivity of the American people when unshackled from the tyranny of an unjust economic system that withholds basic rights.

As president my goal will be that every school is a palace of learning, culture & art. No more basing educational funding on property taxes. A US Department of Children & Youth. How many unrealized $millions, billions, possibly trillions cuz we fail to develop every child’s brain

Millions of traumatized American children to go to school every day in classrooms that don’t have adequate school supplies to teach a child to read. If a child can’t read by 8, chances of high school graduation drastically decreased & chances of incarceration greatly increased.

Thank you. I used to naïvely believe that only people on the Right lied, smeared, and were all out horrible to those with whom they disagreed. And you’re right; that woman has absolutely no idea who I am.

While it’s unreasonable to assume we’ll overturn Citizens United anytime soon given current make up of SCOTUS, we can pass legislation to establish public funding of federal campaigns & pass a constitutional amendment to provide it.The most important thing we can do is all vote!

We need to tax assets of $1B at 3%, $50M at 2%. Then having returned to the public coffers the ridiculous transfer of wealth that we have made in this country into the hands of a few over the last 40 years, we will go about the work of healing our country. Marianne2020.com

We need to repeal the 2017 $2T tax cut which gave $.83 of every dollar to the very richest corporations &individuals, put back in the middle-class tax cuts, stop the absurd corporate subsidies ($26B to fossil fuel companies???), limit military spending to what the military needs.

We need more justice, more mercy & more conscience - in life & in politics. Let’s more than prosecute a case against Trump; let’s prosecute a case against an essentially heartless system that produced him - with new ideas and a new vision for our country. Marianne2020.com

Not at all! I’ve simply said that in the withdrawal process, I want the rights of women to be factored into the negotiations.

What we most need now is a political vision, not simply political mechanics. marianne2020.com/posts/what-…

We all win when we all win. Reparations are an economic stimulus - not a cost but a benefit. New study shows that if black families were as rich as white ones then our economy would be $1.5T bigger. cbsnews.com/news/racial-weal…
