Balance for Oregon
There is only one statewide elected public servant that represents all of Oregon, all the time. The role of fulcrum between Counties, Districts, Parties, Cities, the People, and the Legislature is the office of the Governor. That role has been abused for decades.
Oregon is out of balance.
I'm not asking for your vote; I'm asking for your help. Lend me your voice and , together, we will set Oregon free.
The Platform
Safety and security
The National average response time for police assistance is about 10 minutes; Oregon is reportedly the worst.
With recent events, we must reduce and remove barriers to self security. By focusing on peer interactions, getting to know our neighbors, and building cooperative programs to enhance security we can, and will, provide equal opportunity for the safety and security of our population.
We must also work with Law Enforcement to reduce their workload to prioritized functions and fund training without expansion. Additionally, we must address the cause of crime.
We made steps this cycle to end the drug war in Oregon, but it's not enough. We must reverse the laws that made drugs of all types illegal and reduce the number of random stop excuses to keep our Law Enforcement community from being revenue streams.
Liberty and Equality
It is easy to focus on these other issues and accidentally cause new ones by suppressing the liberties of the people who you are trying to educate.
Our population has ceased to be filled with traditional binary social norms. The rise of our valued LBGTQ+ community, the resurgence of undesirable behaviors, and the increasing divide in politics means that we have to learn how to communicate with each other again.
The entirety of society is the result of change. We must embrace change and still have respect for our neighbors, regardless of our agreement with their values.
We must allow the people to speak even if it's offensive.
We must allow the people to have dominion over their own bodies.
We must allow the people to make decisions based on their own values.
We must cease the use of government entities to enact violence on the public , regardless of intent.
We must reduce government interference in the lives of the public.
Economy
We must recognize the value associated with the development of knowledge and skills.
We trade our Time, Effort, Knowledge, and Skill (TEKS) for resources to increase our lifestyles. The majority of our incomes are the direct result of the trade between employers and employees. That relationship is also reflected in client and supplier relationships. The cost of that trade should be left to negotiation between the affected parties.
These platform issues are connected.
Our Economy is affected by the state of our Safety and Liberties. We must work together, not a State divided, but a State united, to address the proper application of our TEKS to recover the proper values of our TEKS.
