The Beto Challenge

Before everyone jumps on the Beto bandwagon let’s make sure what he says and supports are REAL and VERIFIABLE. I am not giving any politician my vote until I know they are really on my side of the important issues. Obviously we can't even consider the other candidate because he is part of the misogynist, racist and entitled political culture led by an unenlightened President. 
​For me it’s these 4 issues that have to be addressed:

• EQUAL WORK/SALARY RIGHTS TO ALL GENDERS AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION. THAT INCLUDES BETTER MINIMUM WAGES. 
• A VIABLE HEALTHCARE PROGRAM that is LOW COST OR FREE TO ALL.
  (I will pay more taxes for this before I pay another cent to the military).
• BANNING OF ASSAULT / SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
  (If I had a choice it would be disbanding the NRA and fining them so much they go bankrupt. All the fines would go to the victims of school shootings.)
• PASS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
  (I don’t need anyone else to pick my President!)

This is my first and last political statement with the upcoming midterm elections. Frankly, I have little or no hope anything will change. Beto is well liked by many, but to me I just see him as part of the problem. I don't see someone of color or even a different gender representing me. At this point for my own sense of hope, that is more important than what Beto stands for . . .
