As a strategist, there is zero toleration for immoral and unethical behavior. Started a grassroots movement called WEthePEOPLE in 2015 on behalf of first responders, soldiers, and veterans who were shamefully being taken advantage of and disrespected by supremacy; yet each took a solemn oath to serve and protect. This movement continues to grow encompassing Middle America and now all that are willing to take a stand, united together against corruption and retaliation. Zero toleration of immoral and unethical behavior allowing the systems to improve. There is no America without Middle America. WEthePEOPLE have been mocked, humiliated, harassed, discriminated, ridiculed, alienated, ignored, threatened, abused and dehumanized due to our work ethic, intelligence, and beliefs because of the color of our skin, our ethnicity, faith, and gender. We work for our daily bread and stand united witnessing our democracy teetering, our Homeland in dire straits, and our children deserve the opportunity to pursue their American Dream.
