2022 PLATFORM

  2022 PLATFORM Here’s my own personal public policy platform. It’s not complete and is still a work in progress. It applies to state, local and national policies. This platform builds from one I produced in 2016 and 2020. I’m happy to say that some of those items were modified or taken off my 2022 because they were addressed by the governments in which they were directed.  CRAIG DAWKINS 2022 PLATFORM I believe liberty extends to every human being and the role of government is to ensure maximum freedom for every person by using vested power to protect individuals from aggression, both foreign and domestic, in preservation and respect for all human rights. Principles of Personal Liberty: 1.            Marriage Equality: Human beings have an inherent right to enter marital relations and contracts with any person who has reached the legal age of consent. “Traditional Marriage” laws, book and speech bans about LGBTQI...

Racism and Scapegoating Still Sells in America

Disbelief that it could was core to election outcome and shock. This is not another “they’re all racists” editorial.

Stop Blaming the Russians for the Loss

Accept Responsibility for the Loss and Take Legitimate Steps to Reform Your Party  Stop Blaming the Russians for the Loss.... Even IF you believe the Russian hack was an organized attempt to tilt the election in favor of Trump, it could only be effective by showing the unvarnished dialogue about their primary process and incestuous relationship between the DNC and old line media outlets. For the first time in our nation's history, Americans received real time transparency, during a presidential election, of what was going on inside the DNC infrastructure with regard to how they tilted the outcome away from Bernie Sanders and towards Hillary Clinton. In a system of only two major parties, it's more than relevant to see how insurgent candidates, who are outside the party establishment, are treated by party leadership and operatives. What we found out was what was suspected. The GOP demonstrated the exact same antipathy for their insurgent candidate, only it was very public...
