Matthew Heines for United States Senate "Enough is Enough" Press Release March 29, 2018
My name is Matthew Heines. I am an author as well as a
teacher. I am announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate seat up for
election in the First Congressional District in Washington State August and November. I am
running as a New Republican.
As a veteran and a teacher, I have spent a
lifetime serving my country both here and overseas in some dangerous places. I
refuse to let the current leadership in our country continue to turn our nation
and our state into a dangerous place.
I am running as a New Republican, but really as an old
one. I run as Abraham Lincoln once ran. I am a poor backwoods country type
trying to save this nation from the ignorance and strife brought on by the
media and the government. I have never been one to sit around and complain. I
do something when I see something wrong. It’s why I am running for the U.S.
Congress.
My campaign is a simple one. It is just twelve points to
stop our skyrocketing debt and keep our children from inheriting a life of debt
slavery in a security state where fear, violence and terror accompany them
wherever they go. I won’t give any campaign speeches per se, rather, I would
like to hear what people have to say about my twelve point plan.
1) Forbid US Government borrowing.
2) Legalize marijuana-end the war on drugs, poor whites,
Hispanics and African Americans.
3) Use the profits from the sales of marijuana to cover the
cost of tuition at public universities and trade schools.
4) Twenty dollar an hour minimum wage in companies with +500
employees and a guaranteed living wage for our workers instead of million
dollar bonuses for CEO’s.
5) Immediate issuance of Labor Cards to undocumented workers,
DACA residents.
6) Labor Cards are attached to an employer’s bank account
for foreign workers to cover municipality, state and federal costs of
education, social services, criminal activity etc. When the labor card is no
longer valid, the employer will ensure the employee’s departure from the U.S.
7) With obvious exceptions, all U.S. Government business
will be conducted in English. We have no need to pay an army of interpreters
because of a lot of bad people making worse decisions for money.
8) Anyone responsible for hiring illegal aliens and creating
dangers to our communities will receive a mandatory five-year prison sentence.
9) Permanent national immigration freeze until a
national moratorium (vote) can be conducted on the immigration issue.
10) Incorporate Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
into African American controlled federal territories where African Americans
can live free of white culture, pressures, corruption and influence. African
Americans will design their own political, justice, learning systems,
communities and societies based upon their own wants, needs and desires. Dr.
King talked about the Promised Land. I believe it’s time we talk about what is
justice and I believe giving the land that holds the bones of three hundred
years of dead African American Saints to their grandchildren begins to address
the topic of that justice.
11) File anti-trust lawsuits against media, cable, social
media and tech firms whose business practices are predatory and who are
discriminatory. Provide funding for alternative sites to the present social
media, tech and media platforms.
12) Abolish affirmative action and government
sponsored racism in hiring, education and in the conduct of government
business.
It is my firm belief that if we implement these
measures immediately, we will begin a journey that will take us to a better
place, a better nation and a better world based upon enlightenment, tolerance,
science and reason. It will help our children make decisions to study
engineering not the history of pottery because they are afraid to fail. It will
put the best and brightest at the front of our technological teams. It may take
generations to change our thinking but we can be the new pioneers, can’t we?
If not, we for sure will be the old ones.
