    Today I am going to officially declare my candidacy for the Michigan House of Representatives. I will be in the Democratic Primary with only one other challenger the 1 term incumbent in my district.

    Here is the campaign website

    Your campaign site has a lot of typos. Might want to get on that.

    Also, when discussing fire arms, make sure not to call them "bullets", more professional to say "rounds" IMO.

    Also, you do not detail HOW you are going to do "mental health checks". How will you be breaching the privacy? Are you going to overturn HIPAA or what (joke)? Just curious on how your "mental health check" will work.

    Simple require all mental health documents to be uploaded to a data base that will flag anyone with psychiatric problems.

    That's against the law. How are you going to change the law? You can't just waive a magic wand lol. How are you going to change it? What's your proposal? Detail the BILL

    Judging by the poor grammar of your official campaign site, the lack of knowledge in bills/lawmaking...I think you may want to take a few years off and study up if you want to be a member of Congress.

    Oh my mistake. Misread.

    That being said- my point makes even more sense now lol! You wouldn't even have to power to do what you'r proposing. Your campaign is literally saying one thing, but cannot achieve it. What's the term for someone who does that?

    HIPPA does not apply if the medical issue puts others at risk. Also it is not like it will be public for all to see it would have a green check or red x next to the name saying pass or fail without disclosing what their illness is.

    My campaign is about big ideas and if the court stikes things down that is on them not on me.

    Can you cite the legal text you're referring to and how it applies to everyone with mental illness? Also, can you cite which legal strategy YOU will personally take to change that?

    You know that the "mental health" stuff all has to be done at a federal level, right? One state deciding to share private health information doesn't stop Joe Smo from from North Carolina (2 miles south of Virginia) driving to the next state and getting a gun.

    Your logic is EXTREMELY flawed, your knowledge of the legal process is very limited. Hell- maybe you are cut out to be a politician!

    Then ill make it a felony to own a weapon if you don't pass the background check or mental health check in Michigan. Basically make that illegal. Also most politicians have "experts" write the actual legislation based on what the legislator wants it to say.

    What are mental health documents? Could they be crazy troll posts in a political forum on the internet?

    How can someone take a mental health check in your state without violating their federal right to privacy?

    Is this a real thread or is this satire?

    I would not vote for you.

    First off, your spelling is atrocious. At least use spell checker man.

    Your stance on guns is a no go for me.
    10 limit rounds does nothing to stop crime or prevent shootings or address criminals.
    Instead of demanding that people hide their guns why not educate people on guns? People should be able to openly carry or carry hidden...their choice. If people are afraid of guns its because they do not understand guns.
    Background checks are useless. Most mass shootings are done by people who have had background checks done. It did not stop them from committing a mass shooting. BG's are about making it more expensive for gun owners.
    I'm ok with your mental provision provided that you also involve the courts. No one will be deprived of life and liberty without due process.
    Safe Storage, what do you call "safe storage"?
    Safe transport? Hell no. Guns are useless for defense if they're unloaded and no one would ever have time to load them if they need them for defense.

    Meh on the electoral reform.

    Automatic registration for everyone in Michigan? No. Only citizens should be registered.

    Explain your amendment for proportional vote...which house? Etc etc

    Decriminalize MJ sure...all drugs? No.

    Rehab only works if the person is willing for it to work. But that said... rehab and prison time would be better.

    Blind justice: No. I agree with the sentiment, but the defendant has a right to face those that are judging them. That necessitates face to face. Which means they cannot be kept hidden.

    Fine with school choice.

    Fine with the funding of public schools idea.

    School lunch..sure.

    No on the free community college as you have it outlined. Add in GPA of 3.0 minimum and I'm fine with it. Anyone below 3.0 GPA and under 100k can go to trade schools.

    For medicare for all....how about we first reduce or eliminate the things that have caused medical care to go so high first? I don't disagree with the idea of medicare for all. But I think we should try other things first. Such as getting rid of frivolous lawsuits against doctors. That is one of many reasons that medical care is so expensive.

    State owned internet? HELLZ NO! There is no difference between state owned internet and state owned media in my book.

    Gay and trans panic as an excuse for violence? No where is that an acceptable excuse. Of course by "panic" I'm assuming you mean homophobia and transphobia. If not then...what the hell is "gay and trans panic"? Sounds to me like you're just catering to the LGBTQ+ community with this rhetoric.

    Obviously I mean citizens.
    The senate for proportional vote or merging both houses and just having one house that is proportional vote.
    They have a right to face their accuser not to see the jury. It only states a jury of your peers.
    You would still have access to your private carrier. This would simply reach those who currently have less than 4G internet access. Which is a much larger % nationwide than most people realise. The act would probably be called "Rural 4G access act" the government will not be able to use censorship.
    Gay and Trans Panic is basically the Insanity defence but the reason of insanity being that they found out the person was gay or trans. https://lgbtbar.org/programs/advocacy/gay-trans-panic-defense/


    Lets say there is a mass shooting, you try to figureout who the shooter is but a few or several people have a gun on there hip now what? Police might shoot the wrong person as well safer for everyone.
    Anything that would prevent a little kid from being able to access and use the gun. Require a child safety lock
    how about 2.5 GPA?

    You didn't answer the question. How will your state pass the mental health care checks bill if it breaches federal law?

    What is your background in federal law?

    Claim the 10th amendment if someone tries to take it to court. Seeing as the sanctuary cities won I don't see the federal courts caring.

    And how would you make sure only citizens register?

    Senators get voted in by a majority of people in their respective state. Congress critters are elected by the majority of people in their district that they represent. It's already proportional.

    As for merging the two...no. You would deny States a say in the federal government or you would deny the people a say in the federal government depending on how you did it.

    Yes, they do have a right to face their accuser. A jury is a part of that process. A call of guilty is a part of being accused.

    Not be able to use censorship...at first that is what would happen. That is the same defense used to get control of state owned media. Again, no thanks.

    A common talking point. A shooter is not going to have a gun on their hip. They're going to have a gun in their hand.

    No. I was raised in a house with guns. My parents taught me not to touch them. Before I was able to understand they kept them up out of my reach, but never locked them up. I see no reason for it.

    No. Anything below 3.0 and the person is more than likely going to drop out or fail in a community college. It is a waste of money. Also, and I would have stated this earlier but was tired due to staying up all night due to work I was tired, I would only support it if it was only for actual skills and/or hard sciences. No soft science, no liberal arts.

    Talking about MI not federal government.

    Every person in the state of michigan that registered for highschool would be automatically registered
    Michigan state senate or just having one michigan state house.
    Only we know the jury will often decided differently based of irelivant information.
    Maybe censor fake news ;)

    So, everything in your run has nothing to do with federal government? Ok.

    Illegal's go to high school and states are not allowed to bar them from that per SCOTUS. How are you going to prevent them from being registered?

    Yes, they will. That is part and parcel of having a jury trial. If you're trying to make a perfect system you will never achieve it. Humans are fallible and everything that they make has flaws. But right now the US has the best system in place.

    You put in that winkie face as if you were joking. Problem is that there are people that really would want to ban what they consider fake news. Just as there are people that want to ban "hate speech". So, again, no.

    I don't have an issue letting MI graduates vote in state elections so maybe it will be unpopular in my state but im gonna go for it.
    They sit in a room and they get to listen to distorted audio so they can't make out the race/gender and then they are shown evidence. Unless it's a videotape or picture of the defendant doing the crime in which case the jury gets to see and make their judgement.
    To prevent corruption there will be a "governing board" with 10 persons 1 male and female democrat, republican, independant, libertarian, and green party member. They could not agree what to censor if they tried. All decisions requiring unanimous consent.
