Should this have been a $300 ticket for passing a school bus? I don’t think so. Shame on Binghamton, NY for outsourcing government to Verra Mobility.

Why should we limit outsized individual political influence? Small donor financing of campaigns incentivizes candidates to seek out many supporters (democracy) not just wealthy donors (oligarchy).

What does it mean to protect the Earth? To protect the Earth means to manage nature’s resources sustainably and to protect the natural environment to ensure future generations can enjoy a verdant world.

What is a fair society? A fair society secures fair equality of opportunity to all and wealth inequality is justified only to the extent maximizes shared prosperity.

What is a free society? A free society is one in which individuals are free to live their lives as they wish so long as they do not infringe on the right of others to do the same.

Principles:

1. Government exists to ensure a free and a fair society
2. Protecting the Earth is our moral duty
3. To realize the other principles, outsized individual political influence must be limited
