I am a Millennial, a representative of the New Generation.

​

By observing the political process for many years, it is clear to me: our country has so much hatred and irrational partisanship, dividing the political process to a point of stagnation. Big money, big interests, ill-will, prejudices and ignorance dictate our policy.

​

This stagnates the older generations of politicians.

​

It seems they are destined to never break the partisan divide, unless a younger generation comes in and acts now. Currently, we the millennials feel left out from Democratic and Republican policies. With the horrific shootings in schools, churches & synagogues where innocent human beings and kids are dying and nothing is being done about it. With tax cuts for the rich, which America did not need, and yet we have tremendous student loans where one may never pay it off.  And no universal basic healthcare? With fear being imposed on us to worry about immigration and criminals, rather than addressing the real problems of inequality, racial justice, and climate change. Inequality is growing on an unprecedented scale, which means that more and more people cannot afford a normal life, living from paycheck to paycheck and putting themselves in more debt through high interest credit, a credit which they need to make ends meet.

​

Where is the pro-life in any of this?

​

We must level the playing field for fair and equal opportunity for all Americans to live up to our American creed of egalitarianism and keep our generations safe from real problems. We are done listening. We are getting big money out of politics. We are coming to action. 

​

We can do better.
