Earth Resident - Species: Homo sapien. Philosophical base: Reconstructionist - Progressive Eclectic - Green and Free, Independent, Libertarian, Democratic Socialist and Futurist. Old enough to vote and hold office with Protected Person Status. I am a multi-discipline scientist and educator, including health physics, Earth sciences, journalism, Media/News Producer, Cancer Protection Advocate, paralegal, active environmentalist, public figure (Idaho Lorax Law) and Entertainer. Taught and/or attended 16 Colleges and Universities in the USA and overseas. Specialist in project learning, Team Teaching and group dynamics. Author of the "Idaho White Paper" - a solutions project for saving Idaho State University, Idaho agriculture, Idaho Tourism, Saving millions of lives from cancer, and saving children from Living with Uranium materials in the CD 2nd Idaho District where reside the most Radioactive Communities in the World - (All Date Supported), including Contaminated schools, National Forests, roads, homes, residents, pets, and distribution of these materials all over the Western USA. Saving Lives, Moto: "I am not here to save you, I am here to work with you to save yourselves."
- Congress for Idaho Law and safetly. Not Idaho Greed for Congress or professional carreer politicians feeding off of the people and the Federal Government like we have now. I fully support Term Limits, Universal Health care, and project student centered education
- Expansion of the RECA into "Radioativity Ingestion Cancer Compensation Act" to include the clean-up of all Idaho Radioactive Cities from Eastern and Southern Idaho cities to Boise. Beginning with the #1 Most Radioactive City in the World, Pocatello, ID (Government and public Data Supported).
- Working for Sustainability, Jos for clean-up of our Idaho environmental contamintion and the preservation of a loving future involving climate change issues.
1.) As a True-teller, foremost is integrity, transparency, and 'Money Out of Politics.' 2.) As an Active Environmentalist, may I continued to support and protect our environmental Idaho and tourist treasure for education, sustainability, and beauty, 3.) As a health advocate, I fully advocate for the expansion of the RECA Act - Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which presently does not include any of the Radioactive Contaminated Cities and schools of Eastern and Southern Idaho. 4.) To procure Congress for Idaho as a respect and entitlement as an equal member of these United States! 5.) As a scientist, to Save the Lives of children and citizens from the destruction of our lives and futures by the radioactive materials (Not of INL) which plague our communities and schools in the Pocatello Valley and beyond. 5.) As a Human Rights activist, may I continue to utilize my talents in the education of our populous as I stand for truth and a free press worthy to be the educational tool for should it should be. 6.) I am not a warmonger. 7.) Equality. As an cross-cultural educator and publicist my passion to bring about progressive equality to the top of the hill where it belongs, especially for women, has been a passion quest my entire life.
Or maybe you were expecting me to rattle a string of clichés, like education, jobs, and taxes. As I stated above, I am a progressive eclectic and reconstructionist. I problem solve possessing a wide breadth of talents.
Look up to? Not since I was a child, and that would be my parents and grandparents.
There are Many. Artists are the passion voices of the world.
Political Progressive Eclectic Reconstructionism.
Honesty, integrity, compassion, scientist, educator, journalist, paralegal, and Active Environmentalist.
Safety First! Servant of the people, NOT exploitation of the people. Responsibility to the people, Integrety, and Transparency.
A world not destroy by greed, and a future for all our children!
The observation of a solar eclipse, and sitting on the front stoop of Nathen Hale's homestead contemplating the meaning of life and liberty.
"The Tao of Pooh" For the perspective of peronality temperaments.
"Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong - What a foolish notion!"
Dealing with Human denial, their lack of intergrity, and compassion for others and the warmongering mentality.
Allow math and science to hav a say! Not party bias.
Represnting the people, all the people. But it may not be unique unless it can become occupied by non-criminal elements in an areaa of term-limits. Power and money eventually corrupts absolutely!
Nor unless they know science, health, safety. and can educate with complete trasparency. Carreer politicians only create career coruption and the exploitation of the people that they are supposed to serve.
Earning the respect of from the rest of the world's people. And learning as well as desplaying compassion as a nation to others, thereby creating the role of peace-keepers and NOT the role of warmongars bullying the rest of the world. We are one world, one race of humans seeking life, liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness.
Project Oversite, Way and Means, Military oversight, and Energy and Nuclear oversite committees, Agriculture, Technology and Science. and Idaho National Laboratories as leaders and sgealth and afety protpcol for Eastern and Southenr Idaho nuclear contaminations and Clean-up. (Again, Not caused by INL).
Not a thought, a statement: ONE term, maybe 2 for congress.
Henry A. Wallace
Yes! Stop Killing our children and giving people cancer! Stop the 'Living with Uranium' and stop the cover-up of the millions of tons of radioactive materials contaminating in our communities. Mothers Agaisnt Death - M.A.D.
