Dear Friends and Fellow Citizens,
One year ago today on Kauai’s North Shore and later that day in Santa Clara Valley, California, I officially began my campaign for President of the United States. After being unable to qualify for the March 3rd California primary, things did not look too promising; but since then, dozens of candidates have become discouraged, quit the field and now of the remaining few who have not suspended their campaigns, John Karl Fredrich sees that The Time Has Come. The question is, between the coronavirus pandemic and world economic collapse are things bad enough to make Fredrich the best possible choice in order to Build The New America? I believe that the program I propose answers that question in and of itself
- Smash Plutocracy
- Destroy Political Cartels & Money Bundling Syndicates
- Create Majority Rule & Representative Government as the Base for Real American Democracy
The foundation of the program to save our government, our people and our planet is fourfold:
- Establish Equal Rights and a viable Social Contract for all; that include The Equal Rights Amendment for Women & National Health Care.
- Eliminate The Electoral College and Gerrymandered Congressional Districts; National supervision of elections with verifiable paper ballots & audits.
- Renunciation of first strike with nuclear weapons and the end of Executive Branch wars and secret government and un-auditable military budgets.
- Developing with Congress the asset and resource management and budgeting approach that will get these jobs done.
To create the dynamic for success our fight must be focused on the enemies of poverty and ignorance since sticking with ways that have proven to be so far unsuccessful hurts our efforts to achieve economic security, good public health, and a sense of personal well-being.The Preamble to the Constitution spells out the purpose quite clearly and succinctly:
“. . . to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, . . . “
There is nothing in the text supporting factions, party strife, money bundling, influence peddling and manipulation. The key issue of whether or not popular government in these United States can be salvaged from the depredations of corporations and political factions has been excluded from full discussion over what specifically must be done to institute government that actually works; in other words, the conditions necessary for the proper functioning of our government’s structures to do those things The Preamble mandates. Political parties, mass media, money and the purchase of power have combined with some of the most venial, reprehensible officials and fearful, critically under-informed voters in American history to commandeer what was once, hopefully, a peoples’ republic. Rather than recount that ignominious tale, let’s look to a prescription for healing and a plan for repair.
