UNDERSTAND WHY
PLATFORM
Theme: Progressing the nation through learning about policies.
Slogan: Understand Why
Ideology: Democratic
Gender Rights: We believe in equal rights and pay for all. State’s rights are important as long as they do not impede on individual rights.
Minimum Wage: We believe in setting a minimum value for which minimum wage cannot fall below. We understand that that the wage can fluctuate due to the economy and we plan to account for that.
Immigration: People should b allowed into the country as long as it is beneficial to the country. A small percentage of immigrants should be allowed into due to extenuating circumstances.
College Tuition and Affirmative Action: We believe in setting a maximum amount for tuition for all educational institutes in state and out of state. Affirmative action will continue to be approved and supported.
Marijuana: We support the use of marijuana, with restrictions and taxes. There should be an age limitation and driving restrictions as with alcohol on marijuana.
Right to Healthcare: All citizens and permanent residence should have access to affordable health care.
Abortion: Since the US is a secular country, we must consider an infant alive by the day it is born and the day that is put on the birth certificate. People have the right to an abortion and funding of clinics will be treated like all other government programs.
Right to Bear Arms : We should include some vetting process to owning a gun. If there is any mental illness in the household there should be restrictions on gun ownership.
Climate change: We believe in funding educational and action programs to take care of our environment.
