I believe in the teachings of Jesus as a guidepost for all.
Lincoln emancipated the slaves and saved the Union. I consider myself a "Lincoln" Democrat since my belief system comports much more to Lincolns' versus that of the post-Reagan Putin-Trump GOP. The Democrat party is now the party driving strong National Security investments whereas the GOP has abandoned its conservative and Reaganesque national security principles and bends the knee at the alter of the Putin-Trump.
Reagan, while I didn't agree with all his policies, was very strong on national defense. He outspent and bankrupted the USSR, and he returned our military to a strong force while I was serving in the USAF.
Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore. A proven high-tech marketing strategy than I will be adapting and applying in the social and political realm to solve our most pressing problems.
Work to reduce economic burden on constituents. Work to protect enviornment and promote clean energy. Protect and defend the US constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Ensure the national defense...which includes a full-throated defense of our children in all walks of life, wherever they are. Ensure our children's education is top-notch in comparison to other nations.
The reduction in student loan debt by 50 percent in 2 years and an end to predatory lending practices with student loans.
The takedown of Vladimir Putin, and peace and democracy in Ukraine....and in Russia.
I have used the concepts articulated in this book in my career to find those little things than can make the biggest difference in the shortest amount of time, so as to bring about huge, positive change in any endeavor. I've used these concepts to turn around failing companies, departments, and to help grow successful companies. I will be bringing these practical concepts to bear to solve the most pressing social and political problems facing Florida and America. This is exactly what I've been attempting to achieve with RussiLeaks - to "tip over" Vladimir Putin by exposing his dirty secrets to the Russian people and those in positions of power, so they'll move to take him out themselves.
