Our Propositions

Student Loans should be limited just like any other loan.  A bank doesn’t give people any amount of money they want.  No, they give them the amount they determine that they are most likely to be able to pay them back.  The reason for the student loan crisis is because students are using student loans to pay their rent, their bar tabs, all of their expenses while they are going to school.  Students are also going to expensive private schools.  The original intent is to use them for tuition and books at a public school.  We want a limit put on the amount that can be borrowed each year.  No more than the average public university of the state the student is a resident in.  The problem is not that school has gotten too expensive.  There are more free community colleges than ever before. 

We love immigrants.  Power to the People is not anti-immigration.   We are pro immigration.  However, we are having a housing crisis and we have more homeless citizens than ever before.  We also have homeless veterans and the poverty level for our most vulnerable and marginalized communites (veterans and descendants of slaves ) are suffering and need help first.   Power to the People wants to significally  decrease our immigration untill our most vulnerable and marginalized citizens have been helped.  Our tax dollars are going to veterans and to descendants of slaves, not to immigrants.  At some point in the future we may change that, but for now we are limiting refugees and asylum seekers.  Every immigrant has to be an asset to our country and has to be self supporting.   However, we are for controlled and planned immigration.   We need new roads, more schools, more post offices, more police officers, etc..  Do you know how many minutes you have to be on hold in Denver when you call 911?  We do not want chaos.  We pro-immigration but we want to choose who, when, and how many.  We have been a good Christian nation helping others and doing so much charity.   But now it is time to think of ourselves.  

-We want the asylum system fixed.  We consulted with several immigration judges and we came up with this solution.  We want congress and the president to do this.   Have a two step process, where you don’t get to move on to step two unless you are approved in the step 1.  You will only get a work permit if you have been approved for Step 1.  Then in Step 2, you get a work permit and this is when you need a lawyer and a judge will determine your case.  There is a 2 million person backlog.  The definition of asylum is:   .  It is very difficult for people to obtain asylum and only 5% of the applicants are accepted.   This is a moral issue in that people who are actually eligible for asylum are having to wait for 10 years or more to be processed because of the back log.  The immigration judges came up with solution to quickly process the outstanding asylum cases to see if you qualify for step 1.  If not, you will recieve a notice that you did not qualify for asylum and your work permit will expire in 6 months.   We want the asylum system fixed.  We want to stop giving out work permits.  We believe this will limit the number of people who are trying to game the system.  Also we want to stop asylum applications until we get the aslym system fixed.  We want to stop refugees until further notice.  

We want to give citizenship to any one who was here and paying taxes before 2021.  The DACA folks will also receive citizenship.  To deter further illegal immigration, we want ICE to focus on the employers, not the employees.  We already have an e-verify system.  We want to put laws in place that employers must use it.   We want ICE to go around to places of employment, focusing on restaurants, target, walmart, meat packaging, mom and pop grocery stores, etc…  If any employer is caught hiring an illegal worker, there will be a $500,000 fine plus a felony  for the employer.  If the 500,000 fine is not paid within 4 weeks, the business liscense will be revoked until they can pay it.  

In addition, we also want to do the same with long term rental leases.  Landlords can use the same e-verify  system to ensure the rentees are in the country legally or are citizens.  The same fine of $500,000 and a felony will be applied to the landlord.   This also includes long term hotel/motel rentals.  

We want this new system to begin as soon as all the citizenship applications are completed.  At that point, we don’t want anyone living here long term illegally.  

In addition, we want the creation and ownership of businesses to be limited to legal residents and citenzens only .  

The veteran suicide rate is 57% higher than the national average and more than 120,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001 and they are at higher risk for lung cancer.   Our vietnam veterans were exposed to agent orange and have PTSD and hearing loss.  Many veterans have committed suicide after serving in World War II and Vietnam.  They did not receive any mental health or help  at all.  Veterans are our top  priority , we want our veterans who were deployed to get tricare.  We also want the disability payments to go back to when the disability was caused.  

Power to the People recognized that our members have a wide variety of political, leanings.  Some of us lean more towards the left while others may lean more towards the right.   Whatever, our leanings or personal feelings, we all recoginzie that every human deserves to protection and to be treated equally.    Therefore, we want federal law put into place that gives protections for LGBTQ+ in the constitution.  Furthermore, if they want to serve in the military we are happy to have them.  

Yes, the right to bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”      

  • Deterrent to Tyranny:
    Historically, the ability of citizens to bear arms was seen as a check on potential government overreach or tyranny. 
 
 

History of migration to the United States.  Why Right to Bear Arms is first in the constitution.    How that helped them get away from the crown.  Why they were leaving England.  Because their government had too much power.   The Right to Bear Arms.  The reason they didn’t explicity say, the Right to Own Guns is because guns where the means to fight against the government.  To protect the people from the government.  If the government tried to take too much power or not follow the laws, like not relinquishing power then the people had the right to take them down.  They knew that in the future, there might be other and better ways to ‘bear arms’ for protection against the government.  This is why they made the constitution the way it is.  The constitution gives the power to the people.  This is why they put in this policy:  

We don’t need guns in order to ‘bear arms’ anymore.   We have mass shootings at elementary schools.    There are 500 black men who are dying from guns every day.  We want to  stop the sales of automatic rifles and limit gun sales to those 25 and older (except for hunting guns) 

Gun violence is one of the issues facing our black americans.  On average, there are 32 black americans dying each day by gun homicide.  Most of these deaths are young black men.  58% of all people killed in firearm homicides are Black.  Black americans are more than 12 times more likely than other americans to die by gun homicide.   There is a gun crisis.  Changing the laws so that you must be age 25 or over to own a hand gun will be a great deterrent on keeping our young black people alive.

Descendents of slaves also have the highest rate of poverty in our nation.  Let’s fix that by  offering free community college and free trade school to descendents of slaves.  This also applies to anyone whose father or grandfather is a war veteran.  

Poverty is a key predictor for homelessness, and Black people are overrepresented among those experiencing homelessness. 

We want to look at police

brutality, business loans to

help black businesses get started

, and better K-12 schools.  Also forgiveness of felonies.  Wipe the felonies off records and let give 

these folks another chance.   Free mental health for descendents of slaves and descendents of veterans.

These range from overhauls of policing practices and the criminal justice system.

 

All wars have to be approved by majority vote of American Citizens.  All drafts have to have the same percentage of people from different races and the same percentage of socio-economic classes, with no extras given to the people from higher social economic levels.  

Owning real estate in the US is only for American Citizens.  Long term rental properties are only for American citizens and people who are here legally.   This isn’t because we don’t like immigrants, because we do, this is because our homeless population has increased.  There are more homeless families than ever before.  We have homeless veterans.  We have elderly freedmen folks who are having to choose between food and rent because the rental prices are so high.    This is irresponsible.
