Independent candidate for U.S. Representative Adam Ortiz discusses some of the points of his campaign and why he is running for office.

From Cris Ericson:

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders submitted a new bill in May 2024, S. 4406 End Polluter Welfare Act of 2024. Cris Ericson, Write-in candidate, agrees with some of the bill, but deeply opposes some of it. Bernie Sanders is sucker punching Vermonters who believe they are green hearted, but if you don't read all 69 pages of the bill you miss a major issue: This bill on page 12, Section 115, says any amounts made available to the Department of Transportation including the Federal Railroad Administration may not be used to provide financial assistance to any project that transports fossil fuels. That means Vermont homes will pay much high home heating fuel prices, so high many of us will freeze. Our green friends need to learn to read fine print. Most fossil fuels are transported by train into VT.

The part Cris Ericson agrees with is that we should not have money taken out of our hard earned paychecks to pay federal subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. Their top CEOs make millions of dollars annually in salaries and benefits. It is wrong to make the rich even richer at the cost of taxing struggling families and people earning minimum wage.  

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders submitted bill S. 4406 in May 2024 which bans federal subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, titled "End Polluter Welfare Act of 2024". On page 12, section 115 the bill explains that any amounts made available to the Department of Transportation, including the Federal Railroad Administration, may not be used to provide financial assistance to any project that transports fossil fuels. This clause in the bill means that the price of home heating fuel in Vermont will go sky high because most fossil fuels are transported to Vermont by train. Write-in candidate Cris Ericson explains what parts in U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders bill she agrees with, and which parts she believes are unethical, and why. She says reports on YouTube indicate aluminum for electric cars is made by forced labor in China and then moved to a different location and re-processed to conceal the alleged fact that it is made with Uydhur slave labor. She says that aluminum factories in Kentucky face unfair price competition. Cris Ericson explains the cobalt being mined in the Congo is in every lithium ion battery in every smart phone, tablet, laptop and electric vehicle, and that 3/4 of the cobalt come from the Congo in Africa where most of the mine workers are underage teenagers in sandals exposed to toxic cobalt dust, breathing it in, and working for a dollar a day for the Chinese who own most of the cobalt mines in the Congo. Cris Ericson says she drives a 1999 Chevy and just keeps getting it repaired because there are plenty of junk yards with parts. She can't afford a new electric car, so she wants to keep driving her gas powered car.
  

From Cris Ericson:

Cris Ericson explains why Progressive Party voters should give her a write-in vote on the 2024 primary election ballot in Vermont, where there is no candidate listed for United States Senator.

Cris Ericson explains how your paycheck has federal taxes deducted and they go to the IRS, and then the U.S. Congress votes to give your tax dollars to the NIH, the Pentagon, and huge corporations as subsidies. Your tax dollars are used to make products like prescription drugs and defense products and microchips, which are sold worldwide for billions of dollars in profits for the pharmaceutical corporations, the defense corporations, and the multi-nation mega corporations - who are all making their profits based on the fact that the United States Congress voted to give them YOUR hard earned tax dollars, BUT YOU ARE NOT GETTING A SHARE OF THE PROFITS, you are getting no return on investment of your tax dollars. THIS HAS TO STOP.
