Our Mission For Progress
We are now in the Age of Republican Dishonesty, that has become a post-honesty era in which Republican politics, dishonesty and disinformation is commonplace with Republicans. Lies, disinformation and conspiracy theories have now become institutionalized. The public has called politicians liars in the past, but dishonesty in every way has never reached a level in politics as it has today in the Republican Party. It appears it has not peaked with President Trump and his thousands of lies, but rather it has become a contagion crowd infiltrated with other Republicans. There is no SHAME!
We need to overcome the Age or Republican Dishonesty and Deception. We will achieve the Renaissance Age of Facts and Honesty, but it will take huge ethical and moral efforts to overcome the present dishonest course.
Our moral fabric is utilitarianism, which is the greatest good for the greatest number of people (Americans). We are opposed to socialism, but support social democracy.
We know God created Earth and everything on Earth including nature. Humans were to be stewards of the planet; however, humans have failed. We want to respect God and nature by cleaning-up all the damage done to the Earth by humans. This includes supporting all forms and processes to stop global warming.
We support classic liberalism. See tab.
We support working together for common goals that are GOOD for American and the citizens of America. That means working with Democrats on issues.
We are opposed to obstructionism, grid-lock in government.
We strongly oppose autocracy and totalitarianism.
We are opposed to socialism and fascism. The conservative Republicans can call antifa (anti-fascism) as radical, but we oppose fascism and bring it to the attention of Americans. If the Republican Party wants to call this antifa, so be it, because we are opposed to fascism.
We are opposed to present-day conservatism, with exception of fiscal conservatism and fiscal responsibility. Conservatism is retrogressive and opposed to progress. We support conservatism that maintains past laws (e.g., Brown vs. Board of Education), Medicare, Veteran’s Administration, EPA, USDA, National Parks, etc. We support conservation.
Racism is a huge problem in America and the far-right conservative promote it. In France and especially Paris, there are Asians, blacks, Muslims and other cultures who live in harmony. The French say they are French and therefore equal. The Europeans ask, “arent blacks, Asians, Muslims, and other cultures Americans too? Then why are they not treated equally?” We are opposed to racism and support equality, responsible freedom, and social justice. This is supported by most religions and is certainly written in the Bible. “God loves all creatures (everyone and everything) big and small,” as stated in the Ten Commandments, “Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.” Racism should be taught in our educational system since it is part of American history. It makes no sense that Republicans freed black slaves under President Lincoln, but want to prevent racism taught in schools. All forms of racism against Hispanics, Latinos, Muslims, Asians, Native Americans, and blacks must end in America… Maybe some laws need to be passed?
African Americans have fought hard for their racial justice and that must continue. In addition, we support the same rights for Native Americans, the Indigenous people of North America and now known as Native Americans have also suffered extreme oppression and annihilation. The greatest genocide in the World has been to the Native Americans, with reference to colonization. Prior to the 1500s, the population of indigenous people in North America (disrespectful slang-Indians) was minimally at 20 million (1492) and by 1800s it was down to 500,000. We morally are obligated to treat these people with respect, by returning land to them to farm and proceed with their ancestral ways of life. Reservations should be optimized and dispersed. They should receive the best education, in addition to excellent health care and mental health care. It is their land and we are guests. Deb Haaland became U.S. Secretary of Interior under the Biden administration, was the first Native American to hold office. When sworn in, she was disrespected by some Republicans in congress. Republicans should respect Native Americans and aide them to reach high levels in government, like presidency in the near future.
We think it would be highly beneficial for the Republican Party to better support small businesses. Big Businesses are self-sufficient and do not require any further support. We think fairness in tax laws would better provide progress for small business Americans.
We strongly support separation of church and state. This is personal as well. The Brubaker family was traced back prior to the Middle Ages on the west bank of Lake Zurick Switzerland. Switzerland was Catholic and during the Reformation, the Brubaker’s were Anabaptist, which meant that they only believed in adult baptism, when adults can determine their faith to God.
Catholics only allowed infant baptisms and all of Zurick’s government was tied into the Catholic Church and forced infant bathisms throughout the region. Since the Brubaker’s refused to baptize infants, they were persecuted and killed. They moved to Germany and to this day there are no Brubaker in Switzerland.
Evangelicals and conservative Catholics are pushing their beliefs and policies into the US government, which is obvious historical repetition. When religions become involved with governments, religious wars occur. The Christian Right and Social Conservatives want to incorporate their agenda into state and federal governments, which only leads to the destruction of choice and deliration of democracy.
We support knowledge, arts, music, science, facts, and education. Not beliefs, opinions, or disinformation. We are absolutely opposed to conspiracy theories.
We are opposed to providing education visas to students from autocratic governments. Case in point; we have allowed Chinese students to come to our universities and return to China only to take our technology and intelligence back to China.
We support education, and oppose propaganda and brainwashing. Socrates said, “Ignorance is Evil.” We support public schools.
Women have a right to their own body and health. Men need to stop dictating what women can do and not do. The time for women being barefoot and pregnant are over. We support limited abortions. Those women and men who are pro-life should stop eating beef, pork, chicken, duck, fish, or any living animal. Eggs eaten in the morning at breakfast are fetuses of chickens. Let’s be clear and discuss health care ethics and medical ethics as it applies to abortions! See Below:
Health care ethics (aka “medical ethics” or “bioethics”), at its simplest, is a set of moral principles, beliefs and values that guide us in making choices about medical care. At the core of health care ethics is our sense of right and wrong and our beliefs about rights we possess and duties we owe others.
Medical ethics is an applied branch of ethics which analyzes the practice of clinical medicine and related scientific research. Medical ethics is based on a set of values that professionals can refer to in the case of any confusion or conflict.
Genetic disorders can be detected during pregnancy. Genetic amniocentesis (removal of amniotic fluid around the fetus) is usually done between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy. Amniocentesis done before week 15 of pregnancy has been associated with a higher rate of complications. This can screen for cystic fibrosis, Down’s syndrome and others. If a couple chooses not to raise a child with a genetic disorder, an abortion is in order.
Complicated pregnancies that can cause death to the pregnant woman should be considered for medical abortion. Examples are: unresponsive sepsis, extreme hypertension with eclampsia, amniotic fluid embolism to the lungs, self-abortions, ectopic pregnancies, and others.
Incest and rape must result in abortions for the mental health of the woman. Imagine forcing birth to a woman who then has to look at the features of the man in the child for the rest of her life, and imagine the child not being wanted causing mental problems in the child. This is a terrible, horrific event to the woman, despite forcing child birth.
Unwanted pregnancies should provide abortion options to the woman. It may be she is not ready for a family, the family may already be too large, interruption with professional goals, etc. This is her right to choose, not the government. The mental health of the child who is not wanted can be huge, i.e. depression and suicide.
All of these conditions burden the health care system, especially the mental health system. The Republican don’t care about mental health of health care in general. They want to abolish the Affordable Health Act, Medicaid, and Medicare. They want private insurances to run our healthcare system, which is only interested in making billions, and not paying for mental health (too expensive)!
We are opposed to abortions being used for birth control.
It is most disappointing that the two largest physician representative groups in America, the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association have not done anything to prevent states and the federal government from banning all abortions and filing criminal charges against doctors who are morally doing their jobs. This is absolute insane madness!
The draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade by Supreme Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr. was abominable and egregious to the rights and health of women. Thank God this opinion was leaked May 3, 2022. Of course the first statement out of the mouth of Sen. Ted Cruz –without facts- was, “Opinion was leaked by a liberal!”
The majority of Americans want Interception of the laws proposed by the Christian Right and Social Conservatives. We must stop irrational, nonsensical, psychotic agendas by these minorities.
The Tea Party and Libertarian Caucus wants to deregulate the government. Now they want the state and federal government (and through the Supreme Court) to regulate a woman’s body and families. We hope they are ready for the costs involved.
We support Planned Parenthood. Women should have a place for their reproductive health, which provides all types of female health services and birth control. Controlling reproduction is important for family size. Pope Francis should support birth control and medical abortions, which would eliminate political and governmental control of women. This is the 21st century and it’s time for a change. The rhythm method has gone out in the 20th century.
Over-population is a problem world-wide. One should ask how many humans should be on the planet for quality of life. With the current population, there are real problems, especially with pollution. India, with its billions of people contribute to significant pollution. I have been to India, and the whole country is filled with smoke and fossil fuel pollution. It is so dense that it looks like fog.
There is so much evidence of global warming with melting of glaciers as a prime example. In the late 1980s, my best friend and I solo climbed 11,453 feet glaciated Mount Athabasca next to the Columbia Glacier in Jasper National Canadian Park. The glacier feeds the Columbia River that runs through Washington State. When we were there, the glacier retracted less than a fourth mile. Since the 1980s the Columbia’s terminus has retreated more than 12 miles (20 kilometers) — its lowest point in the last 900 years. The glacier has lost about half its thickness in that time and its two main branches no longer meet at the sea.
Glaciers around the world in Europe, Iceland, and Himalayas are melting. I have asked a few Republicans how they plan to restore glaciers? No Answer. Biden had a plan with the President Build Back Better Plan that addressed global warming which didn’t pass due to Democratic Senators Joe Manchen and Kyrsten Sinema. I asked them how they nixed the plan and I asked them how they plan to restore glaciers? No comment. Probably in Republican donor money pockets??? Huge disappointment!
The Arctic surrounding the North Pole is ice that’s floating on top of the Arctic Ocean. Over the past four decades, scientists have seen a steep decline in both the amount and thickness of Arctic sea ice during the summer and winter months. This will lead to the extinction of Polar Bears. Much or Antarctica is the same. Do the Republicans care? NO!
If one considers humans special or superior to other animals, then why have they allowed extinction of other life to occur, which are also creatures of God?
We support immigration reform. New immigration reform bills have not been passed by congress since the 1980s. The last big immigration bill was passed in 1986 when Ronald Reagan was president and both houses of Congress were held by Democrats.
A smaller bill was passed in 1990 when George H.W. Bush was president and both houses of Congress were still controlled by Democrats.
Several bills have been introduced from 2005 to present. The most comprehensive and economically sound bill, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (Bill S.744) was a proposed immigration reform bill introduced by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) in the United States Senate.
The bill was co-sponsored by the other seven members of the “Gang of Eight”, a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators who wrote and negotiated the bill. It was introduced in the Senate on April 16, 2013 and passed in June 2013. The bill did not pass the House of Representatives. The reasoning was that Speaker John Boehner responds that the American people don’t trust President Obama to enforce the laws!
The H.R.1177 – U.S. Citizenship Act117th Congress (2021-2022) was also introduced in Congress, but is only introduced in the House of Representatives. One can listen to a summary of the bill. Listen to this page

It would seem appropriate to have the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (Bill S.744), and the U.S. Citizenship Act passed and get these bills passed. The 2013 bill already passed the Senate and should go through the House and be passed, or do whatever it takes to pass it into law.
We strongly oppose the current positions on the Supreme Court. Justice Clarence Thomas should be impeached for his actions introduced into the court by his wife. This is unethical at best, and appears unlawful. The Justices should be unbiased intellectual and collegial scholars of law, which we no longer have on the Supreme Court. Justices Brett M. Kavanaugh, Neil M. Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett are not law scholars, but rather biased Christian Right and Right-wing Justices. They are dishonest and prejudiced displaying the highest level of white privilege.
Americans want Interception of the laws proposed by the Christian Right, right-wing conservatives, and Social Conservatives. We must stop irrational, nonsensical, psychotic agendas by these minorities.
We support programs that take people from welfare to work (WTW). We oppose welfare programs that allow women to have babies, so they can be on welfare.
We support social democracy programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, social security, etc.
GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE WHO RUN THE GOVERNMENT CAN BE THE PROBLEM! EXAMPLE – TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
MAKE AMERICA A GREAT DEMOCRACY, A FREE SOCIETY, AND A COMPETITIVE COUNTRY THROUGH PROGRESS.
