What We Stand For

Our nation's economy has been hijacked by multinational corporations, selling out both the worker and the consumer by outsourcing our jobs overseas to China and then selling us back inferior goods at marked-up prices. This model undermines local industry and weakens the backbone of our communities. The time is now to reclaim the American economy. We support significant tax cuts and preferential loans for American businesses democratically owned and operated by their workers/consumers. By empowering locally controlled enterprises, we can create quality jobs, drive sustainable growth, and build an economy that reflects the hard work and dedication of everyday Americans.

Strong families form the backbone of our nation, and with the rising cost of living, we must invest in our nation's future by supporting households today. Our pro-family policy calls for quality, affordable childcare, healthcare, and educational opportunities that empower families to thrive. Recognizing that parents need time to nurture and care for their children, we advocate for enhanced parental leave policies that ensure parents can be with their newborns during those critical early stages. Additionally, we support tax relief and other financial measures to ease the burden on families facing economic pressures. By investing in our families, we lay the groundwork for a resilient community and a prosperous future for all.

The United States is controlled by a corporate duopoly that limits competition, suppresses independent voices, and restricts voter choice. Both major parties are bought and sold by multinational corporations, making it nearly impossible for working-class Americans to have real representation. The American electoral system presents unique challenges that require creative solutions. To build a democracy that truly represents the people, we must explore new ways to increase competition, empower voters, and ensure that every voice has a chance to be heard.

We firmly support the Second Amendment, recognizing that restricting lawful firearm access is not the answer to our nation's gun violence problem. While Democrats tend to blame mass shootings on the availability of guns, Republicans often point to mental health issues—but without providing the necessary funding to address them. We believe that investing in comprehensive, accessible mental health care is essential to tackling the root causes of violence. Our approach protects constitutional rights while ensuring that mental health services receive the robust support they need to build safer communities.

Consumers must have the freedom to fix what they own. In Kansas—where farmers rely on their equipment daily—this right is essential. Too often, corporations restrict access to repair parts, tools, and technical information, allowing only their own authorized technicians to perform repairs. This practice forces consumers to face exorbitant repair costs and limits their ability to maintain their own property. Whether it's repairing a tractor or fixing a smartphone, we believe everyone should have the freedom and opportunity to keep their own equipment in working order. By ensuring open access to repair resources, our policy not only saves money and supports local repair shops, but also promotes sustainability and self-reliance. We call for legislation that guarantees the right to repair without undue corporate restrictions, reinforcing the independence and resilience of our communities.
