THOMAS LOECKEN

IDEPENDENT CANDIDATE

“I won’t lie to you or sneak out of town halls; you will always know where I stand.”

There is an attack on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This is because of actions by Republicans to privatize these programs and because of the over spending tax giveaway. The incumbent says that he will protect these, but he’s at the heart of the attack by his voting record and how he will vote because every Republican votes the same way. You’ve heard for the last 20 years plus that Social Security was going broke, and yet they want to take billions to trillions out of these programs. The incumbent can’t have it both ways, if it’s going broke how are you going to take trillions out and yet fix it. The incumbent says he’s going to get the military a raise and new equipment, (even though congress is just now voting and passing the huge spending bill the military was already set to get its raise and new equipment) so the incumbent is claiming credit on a done deal? He also wrote a letter praising the repeal of net neutrality, this is another money grab by big business by slowing the internet speed down of it’s competitors till they get more money from them and to block content of small independent news. How it has personally affected you is Netflixs and Youtube have already been slowed down, and next Facebook. The new tax giveaway throws millions off of health insurance when the present plan just needed to be fixed. Cost research showed that Medicare for All will be cheaper than the present system.

The Democrat Candidate is more of the same, same Democrats, just never seems to win a fight against the Republicans, because they don’t want to win, they’re just putting on a show for the public. The democrat Linderman, ideas and issues that he has, shows a lack of push or drive to get something accomplished and his “will work with everybody” is, I’ll go along, and lack luster plans of “we’ll try this or that, shows his give up attitude and ideas that may work or not instead of real fixes.

Both of these Candidates take Corporate PAC monies and the dark monies of Super PAC monies. The Super PAC monies are unlimited amounts and anonymous donors. Taking these monies means that these candidates have already pledged to do what these donors want them to do. Also, when in Washington these Candidates are herded into call centers daily to chase their donors for more money. I will be able to work for you full time. Removing money from politics will fix this.

Medicare for all is cheaper than the present system and there are plenty of monies to pay for it. Of the 700 billion-defense budget that Congress is going pass, half of that money will go to big business defense contactors, instead of directly to our military. Everybody needs to be in the Medicare system not some people or some states deciding that they don’t want to be in it or just jump in during an emergency. One proposal is 4% of income and 7% for businesses premiums with Prescriptions, dental and eye included. Insurance companies would be removed from the system or changed to non-profit saving billions.

Global Climate Change. Neil DeGrasse Tyson said, “If we can go to other planets and make them earth like, then we can make Earth, earth like”. If you’re interested in the future well being of your kids and grandkids then all countries and people need to make repairing climate change a primary focus.

Drug Crisis. I believe it is multifaceted problems, with depression and loss of hope the root problems, so fixing some of the problems that contribute to this, like low wage jobs or no jobs, unaffordable healthcare or no healthcare, punishing drug companies that contribute to the problem, fixing homelessness, and others. And more direct intervention of the problem.

Raise Minimum Wages. Where the minimum wage has already risen, it proved profitable for businesses that said they couldn’t afford it, because the low wage people had extra money and spent it.

I am the best candidate for a U.S. Representative, I will do what you want and expect. There are pressing issues that I will work on full time with the drive to fix them.

*Guthrie voted with the rest of the Republicans over 60 times to repeal your health insurance. Guthrie voted with the rest of the Republicans for the tax giveaway, which raised your taxes and kicked millions off of health insurance. Now the Republicans want to cut your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to pay for the big tax giveaway. And Guthrie has the gall to run ads that he’s going to protect your Social Security, like he didn’t vote the same way and with the rest of the Republicans.Hypocrite*
