Core Values and Commitments
THINK BIG! START SMALL!
What we represent — our core commitments
|
|
Equal Rights & Access |
Everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity—has an inviolable right to life, food, shelter, education, and physical & mental health, protected by equal due‑process under the law. |
Immigration with Humanity & Security |
• Flexible admission levels that respect U.S. capacity and global need. • Thorough—but humane—background vetting; deny violent offenders. • Seasonal‑work visas to meet labor gaps, with the same vetting. • Immigrants enjoy all basic human rights and must follow U.S. laws—serious violation risks deportation. |
Citizenship & Social Cooperation |
• No citizen or institution may restrict another’s rights on the basis of belief or identity. • We encourage constructive communication, collaboration, and equitable compromise. • Disputes are natural; harassment, discrimination, or violence are never tolerated. |
A Fair & Impartial Judicial System |
• Equal access to counsel and due process—wealth or status must not tilt the scales. • Robust checks, swift consequences, and removal for officials who abuse power. • Courts must remedy proven wrongs, not serve as tools for intimidation. |
Freedom of Expression & Honest Dialogue |
• Peaceful protest and creative expression are fundamental, so long as they harm no person or property. • Deliberate falsehoods, slander, or defamation are not protected; repeat offenders lose expressive privileges and face civil or criminal penalties. • Public corrections and full disclosures are required when misinformation occurs. |
Human Rights First, Always |
• Human rights outweigh the privileges of any corporation, government, or organization. • Local businesses and community groups take priority over multinationals. • Profit is welcome—unless it violates human, societal, or environmental rights. |
Regulation Through Innovation |
• Rules shouldn’t be one‑size‑fits‑all: if someone can prove they exceed a regulation’s intent by another method, an exception should be written into law, complete with evidence and oversight. • Incentives and tax breaks must hinge on the share of revenue reinvested in communities—not on company size. |
Clean, People‑Powered Elections |
• Offices are decided by popular vote only. • Eligible voters are verified legal residents issued secure voter IDs; rolls are reviewed within two months of each election. • Slander or defamation disqualifies candidates. • Campaigns are strictly grassroots—no fundraising, contributions, gifts, or paid advertising; everything runs on volunteer energy and a free, centralized voter information hub. |
