Civic Duties. On the Initiatives:
No thanks, we'll PASS. Pragmatic Abundance, Shared Security
Initiative: For generations, fear and scarcity have been to control policy and divide Americans. Real security - and true American strength - means robust safety nets, clean affordable energy, dependable water, and healthy communities.

Goal: Drive policy that invests in people, infrastructure, and community support.
