RICKY'S PLATFORM

Health care should not be a profit-driven industry in this country. Obamacare was a step in the right direction, but not nearly enough. It's time for America to enact universal health care.

Only the privileged few thrive when we are left ignorant and divided. When the people lack adequate knowledge and education, they can easily be manipulated and exploited.

A prosperous America is an America with an efficient democratic process, religious freedom, and economic opportunity for all Americans. This prosperity is possible in our lifetimes.

It's time for an American Workers' Bill of Rights. There is no reason why any working-class (or any other) American should have to struggle to afford housing, food, or an education.

Renewable energy is the future, and the powers that be fear that this will hurt their bottom line. We must respect the earth and stop selfishly draining her precious resources for profit.

The PHCA will establish a universal health care system available to all U.S. residents, remove profit from health care, and establish a Health Care Bill of Rights for all citizens and residents.

The AJA will significantly modernize labor standards and consumer protections, establish a living wage, and establish an American Workers' Bill of Rights for all workers.

The DREAM ACT will finally initiate immigration reform, granting millions of law-abiding undocumented immigrants legal permanent resident status and a Refugee Bill of Rights.

THE VERB ACT will significantly modernize and reform elections in the United States, virtually eradicate voter suppression, and unequivocally establish a National Voters' Bill of Rights.

THE SAFE ACT will systematically address the rising epidemic of gun-related violence and death in the United States while preserving rights enumerated in the Second Amendment.
