Serving the American People at Home

Are you sick of seeing your hard-earned tax dollars being wasted on wars that have nothing to do with us?

Are you tired of the needs of people overseas are being prioritized when so many people in America are badly in need?

I agree Americans are not being prioritized. I therefore pledge to be your voice in Washington. I will put an end to the failed policy of being the world’s police and nation builder, redirecting the trillions of dollars wasted on wasteful wars and weapons. I will ensure these funds will be redirected back to us at home and spent on building a cleaner, safer, healthier America.

Quotes

  • “I look at each issue on its own merit. Partisan politics don't matter. It only matters whether something is good for the American people or not. That’s why many have a hard time figuring me out. I don’t play their games. I don’t fit in their boxes.” (Link)
  • “I love our country. It’s why I decided to enlist after 9/11, why I serve in Congress, and why I’m offering to serve as your commander in chief — to protect you, our Constitution, our freedom.” (Link)
  • “The presence of PAC money in our political system has put corporations and special interests ahead of the people who elect us to serve.” (Link)
  • I know what patriotism is & I’ve known many great patriots throughout my life. Trump is not a patriot. As president, I will bring this spirit of real patriotism to the White House, serving the interests of all Americans, not just the rich and powerful. (Link)

Tulsi Gabbard: Stand up against Big Pharma / insurance companies

We must stand up, and fight for the soul of our country. Stand up against bought and paid-for politicians, who kowtow to special interests, selling their votes to the highest bidder Instead of draining the swamp, our president has turned it into a cesspool of corruption. We must stand up against big pharma and insurance companies who extort those who are sick, who put their profits above the health of our people. We must fight to ensure that every American gets the quality healthcare they need, through Medicare for All.

Economy & Wall Street

Do you feel like there is one rule for the very wealthy and one rule for you?

Do you feel like you suffered the consequences of the 2008 crash, but the culprits, the banking industry didn’t?

Do you feel like the banking industry has too much political influence?

I agree. Millions of Americans have struggled since the 2008 Recession, but Wall Street hasn’t. The banks that were too big to fail then are even bigger today. The people who lost their homes, jobs and life savings were not bailed out like the banks were.

Environment & Green Economy

Are you alarmed by the damage being done to the planet by this administration?

Are you worried the interests of the fossil fuel industry being placed above the interests of our people and our planet?

We can and must begin to build a renewable energy economy. By redirecting the billions spent every year subsidizing the fossil fuel industry to instead invest in the industries of the future — expanding wind, solar, and geothermal — we will guarantee a cleaner, safer energy future and create high-quality jobs.

War & Waste

Do you feel like the trillions spent on wasteful wars would be better spent at home?

Would you like your government to prioritize American people’s needs?

I do too. Regime change wars are wasteful and have drained our country of trillions of dollars, undermined our national security, and cost the lives of thousands of our men and women in uniform. I will bring an end to this failed foreign policy and withdraw America from ongoing conflict that achieves nothing and wastes so much.

Human Rights & Equality for all

Does the sky-rocketing rate of hate crimes alarm you?

Do you feel like the color of your skin, sexual orientation or religion holds you back in modern America?

We must work side-by-side to stand up to bigotry, hatred, and violence against others because of their race, religion, or sexual orientation. We must continue to fight for genuine equality and restore human dignity for all Americans.
