That's what I'm talking about! Let's do it!

If it makes it, and if it passes, it’d end Citizens United within the borders of Montana.

I wait for some shadow government group to break down my door every day. I didn’t vote for any of this, and have been voting against it since Reagan (Thatcher’s buddy). I’ve already had doctors try to kill me. I ended up in the ICU, the hospital for a month, and lost 8 years of my life.

- don’t bomb the shit out of other countries for no reason.
- stop destroying global trust in the USA
- stop economically destabilising the globe and causing widespread famine because fertiliser is in short supply and too expensive for farmers to buy.
- stop causing millions of excess deaths due to cuts in overseas aid budgets.
- stop accelerating global climate breakdown.
- Don’t threaten to conquer allies.

I’m tired of the USA.

I ran out of room. I’d also break up all these mega corporations. They destroy competition.

I would add no corporate campaign contributions, term limits for judges and senators, and an age cap for all elected officials.
