Appreciate your clarification of your role.

Democrats are led by Leaders in the House and Senate that need to be replaced. Until

that is done, where are we?

Americans deserve better.

I would expect the DNC to reflect the desires of its voters and not just corporate donors. Unfortunately, I would be wrong.

Our democracy has become an oligarchy, a government in which a small group exercises control, especially for corrupt and selfish purposes.  Here’s a significant way to impact this fall’s elections.  Now is the time to initiate a grassroots campaign to pursue the following. Several Democrats and progressive organizations have compiled separate tax reform proposals. I envision having these proposals consolidated into one bill that will benefit the vast majority of Americans. Having a consolidated bill, "True Tax Reform 2026: The Sequel," introduced to Congress well before this fall's elections will very well influence who individuals vote for based on a candidate's view on this bill. Please share this with your Democratic congressional representatives and others. 

This is a list of proposals that can be consolidated into one bill:

Keep Your Pay Act: Cory Booker

Equal Tax Act: Senators Edward Markey, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, and Jeff Merkley

Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Rashida Tlaib

Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Ro Khanna

Tax on Extreme Wealth and For the 99.8% Act: Senator Bernie Sanders

Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act: Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Don Beyer

The Ultra-Millionaires Tax: Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representatives Brendan F. Boyle and Pramila Jayapal

Defund the Oligarchs Resolution: Senator Elizabeth Warren

American Homeownership Act: Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jeff Merkley

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott

Billionaires Income Tax Act: Senator Ron Wyden and Representatives Donald Beyer and Steve Cohen

The Money Agenda 250: Patriotic Millionaires

The Five & Dime Tax: Tax the Greedy Billionaires

Executive Summary: Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute

Court of International Trade Tariff Refunds: Senators Ron Wyden, Edward J. Markey, and Jeanne Shaheen

The Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2011: Senators Ron Wyden and Dan Coates

* Review provisions in H.R. 1 and executive orders- void and add provisions as needed.

What's the course of action Democratic governors plan to take when tRump sends ICE, CBP or the military to their state's polling locations in November? This is what will happen and all Democratic states should have plans in place to react forcefully and in unison, well BEFORE the election.

Is there any truth to the DNC forbidding the use of AI? While I understand the fears and environmental concerns, NOT using AI tools in a responsible manner (de-identified information, for example) to harness the sheer amount of data flowing into the DNC feels like shooting yourselves in the foot. We know for certain the opposition will certainly be using AI to their advantage, and we shouldn’t be shunning a tool that CAN be used ethically and responsibly (and realistically, isn’t going away).
