1. We are in danger of losing our republican form of government if we don’t start trying to purge the special interests. RFK, Jr. has fought corrupt corporations and co-opted agencies in court for four decades as an attorney.    https://youtu.be/AEaPbBxzrvY?si=MAoUFvEko2SEKzUn 2. A house divided against itself cannot stand. It’s imperative that we heal the divide and embrace liberal pluralism again. The Union is the palladium of our liberties, and the partisan death spiral we are on is going to inevitably lead to worsening violence and strife if we don’t start finding ways to reconcile with one another.   https://time.com/6328179/political-violence-jan-6-extremism/ https://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?handle=hein.journals/jnlodmcy32&div=66&id=&page=3. Our environment needs to be saved, and we need a bipartisan consensus around the issue. Any long-standing environmental progress needs to include Republicans, as it did in the 70’s when we had the EPA, Clean Water/Clean Air Act, etc. Otherwise it will immediately be reversed the next time a Republican president is elected like it was under Bush and Trump. RFK, Jr. has led such bipartisan coalitions, which have succeeded in ways that Democrat politicians have never succeeded. https://waterkeeper.org/about-us/ https://www.nrdc.org/about 4. We need to put an end to the military industrial complex, which has improperly influenced our foreign policy. The policy of covert and overt regime change which has continued uninterrupted since the tenure of Alan and John Foster Dulles has undermined our national security, burdened our economy and safety net systems, and damaged our credibility on the international stage. The Wolfowitz doctrine needs to be banished in favor of a national security-only war requirement, and neither Trump nor Biden show any indication that they intend to do so.  https://www.amazon.com/Covert-Regime-Change-Americas-Security/dp/1501761730/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.K0ynapAQqPz3je0A3jZkwchLgzRfh1erAj3ON7d6_I8.vR1sMgknaWiSJ_gSoWVm5722021J5JmXy5PT4inNBU0&dib_tag=se&qid=1710391820&refinements=p_27%3ALindsey+A.+O%27Rourke&s=books&sr=1-1   “ Let us, then, fellow-citizens, unite with one heart and one mind. Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things.”—Thomas Jefferson
