Tulsi Gabbard is running for president and I’m going to take a minute to tell you just how lucky we are! She is the gifted leader that will help America be graceful again — and grateful again. (…Now, wouldn’t that actually be great!?)

#SecuringAmericasElectionsAct

Tulsi’s bill, H.R. 1946 * will certify that your ballot is counted and has a paper hard copy. This increases security and will hold election officials (oft electioneering party officials) accountable to validate outcomes by hand counting paper ballots. It could prevent the manipulation of election outcomes! Every candidate and the shilling, Russiagating mainstream media should support this! (#FireRachelMaddow, and please before the debates!)

Working For Sustainable Energy Policies & A Cleaner Environment | Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard

Did you know that Congresswoman Gabbard has introduced a bill that’s more comprehensive than the GND? In fact, the Off Fossil Fuels Act is actionable legislation, while the Green New Deal is a resolution or plan left open for debate and provides no timetable for implementation. Tulsi’s OFFAct does not recognize nuclear power as a safe, viable option for long-term grid sustainability. The OFFAct also mandates being 100% off fossil fuels by 2035. It even incorporates the use of billions of yearly fossil fuel subsidies (our tax dollars) to implement the renewable energy transition, providing for many green industry jobs and training for them. I’ve said it before — ending war and a green transition does not have to put engineers and rocket scientists out of work! Let’s redirect that genius into a work force to save the planet. (Just a thought!)

#WagePeace #PeaceIntention

#TimeToDropTheMIC

As a veteran who served two tours with the Army National Guard in Iraq (working in a MASH unit! I love that), Major Gabbard best understands the multifaceted cost of war. We know this because she has the courage to speak truth to power, she outright tells us how unhinged the Military Industrial Complex is, how the MIC operates in the interest of power and profit and not in the interest of our troops (in harm’s way), not in the interest of global stability, and most certainly not in the interest of US taxpayers! She knows that We-the-people have been misled into footing the bill for war to the tune of $32M an hour — every hour! — on average since 2001. ←That is a truly staggering statistic, read the commondreams article linked below. *

It is Tulsi’s driven mission of peace, to put an end to the Pentagon’s costly, dangerous, invasive habit of starting regime change wars. #EndRegimeChangeWars — And, peacenik that I am, I cannot adequately express my gratitude to have a candidate brave enough to diplomatically see us through the present day’s dark lapse of common sense. Tulsi will put aside profit-driven, media-manufactured tensions and work with other superpowers to end this asinine new Cold War.

“ Nuclear strategists report we are closer to nuclear war now than ever before — but our leaders seem oblivious. I’m running for President to end the new Cold War and lead our country away from the nuclear abyss.” Tulsi Gabbard

AND why stop there? Why not Stop Arming Terrorists, while she’s at it! BREAKING: Tulsi WINS Big, after fighting hard through a long night session to achieve this in committee:

“Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Includes ‘Stop Arming Terrorists Act’ in FY20 NDAA June 13, 2019 Press Release: Washington, DC — Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) secured inclusion of a provision in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that was passed early this morning which would prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to provide weapons or any form of support to al-Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Jabhat Fateh al Sham, any individual or group associated with these organizations, or any entity the Secretary of Defense determines may trade or sell arms to terrorist organizations.” See press full press release.*

CONGRESSWOMAN GABBARD IS NO JOKE!

Tulsi will never stop fighting for peace: https://www.facebook.com/TulsiGabbard/videos/326088038062951/

And her reasoning is not only humanitarian, but economically provident:

Tulsi’s #PeaceDividend intends to take our taxes back from bloated contracts allotted to the spendthrift MIC (corporate welfare). America must stop funneling nearly a trillion dollars a year into our “defense” budget. Take those needed cuts amounting to hundreds of billions, add that to the trillions, of our taxes spent yearly to “subsidize” & keep the dying Fossil Fuels Industry on life-support* (more corporate welfare), and Tulsi will have created a massive dividend. Every candidate has a plan — but that’s a PLAN!

This peaceful, green dividend will be dedicated to address the much neglected health, safety, educational and urgent needs of the American people. To solve so many American crises.

Our taxes will go toward fixing OUR infrastructure, to alleviating OUR working-class poverty and homelessness, it will pay for OUR healthcare, invest in OUR college grads, make OUR technology competitive for a sustainable future.

Tulsi has demonstrated the courage it takes to make our nation a relevant and responsible part of the global community. Presently, only the wealthiest few billionaires — the greediest of corporate entities and elites — are the benefactors of our needless, endless wars.

I, for one, would like to be a citizen of a prosperous, environmentally responsible, truly humanitarian first world nation. That’s how I want to invest MY taxes.

Did you know that Congresswoman Gabbard was an early cosponsor of HR 676 in 2017. *(can any establishment candidate for president claim that?)

Tulsi Gabbard at Standing Rock

#VeteransForStandingRock — Tulsi was THERE in subzero weather to march against #DAPL. And the militarized police enforcing Big-Oil “law” withdrew. She was there for indigenous rights, for clean water. #MniWiconi #WaterIsLife

(WHERE WERE THE OTHER CANDIDATES?)

Honor and Integrity:

…Seriously!

In 2016, Tulsi resigned from her Vice Chair position with the DNC to endorse Bernie Sanders. She vocally protested their primary election fraud. She’s the ONLY one who did officially stand up to the DNC on behalf of Bernie and on behalf of the people who voted for him, those of us who trusted and dearly believed in his mission. WHERE WERE THE OTHER CANDIDATES? (Where was Bernie?)

Tulsi’s the ONE Democratic candidate willing to assert that it’s necessary to shed the political labels of horse-race punditry. It is a presidential asset to be unbiased and non-partisan! Isn’t that a no-brainer? The policies that Tulsi fights for affect all people. #PeaceIsNotAboutYourParty

(yes…I made this!)

It is time for a sea-change in priorities, for our nation’s honor, for our nation fiscally, and for all life on Earth. Tulsi Gabbard is already working tirelessly for us all, the people, regardless of politics and party-line expediency.

She’s never lost an election.

She’s never accepted donations (dark money)from corporations, party-bundlers or PACS. She has shunned the DNC for being unethical… What does that get her?

…Well, aside from my respect, Tulsi’s been ostracized by the party and their corporate media. She’s been fundamentally blacklisted (meaning getting either bad or no press) by the mainstream media — and she’s even been consistently excluded by some ostensibly progressive independent outlets. Here’s a quick sample:
