The two party system is a sham meant only to keep people divided and give the public the illusion of choice while simultaneously collaborating together to keep themselves in power.

The central banks act without oversight continually exercise the same failed policies that always end in devaluing our money.

No more wars. Unless the United States is attacked, we have no business using our military in foreign countries.
No more entangling alliances. Our friends need to learn to run their own countries without the use of US dollars.
Bring the troops home. The military isn’t a tool to be used by the military industrial complex. We owe it to the service members not to put their lives in danger recklessly and to not use their willingness to sacrifice for their country abusively.
Adopt a policy of non-intervention. The world’s conflicts are not ours to police.
The VA system is a failed system. Privatize the VA, allow the free market to give veterans the best access to care when they need it and when they need it quickly.
End the fed. Dismantle the central banks. Tie the hands of the federal government.
Deregulate. Deregulate. Deregulate. This will allow real free market solutions to appear by allowing small businesses to thrive.
Taxation is theft. Should we tax it? No.
Take the restraints off the working class. It’s time to break the chains the federal government has put on us that keeps us from prosperity and embrace the future through liberty.
Put an end to modern fascism. Corporatism is using the politicians to enact their regulations to keep small businesses from prospering.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 1 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 2 contributions · 80% of ranked | $1,000 |

A further $500 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($1,006) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Each group that spent in this race is followed to where its own money came from, and what it spent is split by those shares: a group whose money was 60% one person's counts as 60% of its spending theirs. Of what traced, 15% to named individuals, 67% to organizations, 9.5% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 4% to committees nothing more could be followed from, 4.9% not itemized in the filings.
