Community Based Affordable Health Care & Prevention

We the people deserve Healthcare driven by prevention, nutrition, and education, not profit. Healthcare has become big business, focusing on profit over people and prevention. Health begins at home, in our schools, and on a community level. Communities used to be tight knit where grandmothers would provide preventative measures, share recipes, and watch out for each others families. We need to model this for modern society. Creating "small town" community centers and open churches to create health programs that bring community and families closer together. Pooling of resources in the form of community live stock programs, organic farms, food pantries, soup kitchens, afterschool sports programs that will build healthier and stronger communities.

Honest Education: Overhaul Current System

We the people's children deserve Honest Education as it is one of the most important and fundamental building blocks of a strong Massachusetts. We need a growing movement to rebuild the value of teachers as everyday heroes. Good teachers are walking away, as the system is broken. Education was designed to stifle independent critical thinking and nurture dependency on authority. My History teacher Mr. Hoessel at Cox Street Elementary School in Hudson, was instrumental in engaging and challenging me and set the foundation for my continued belief that the truth will set you on the right course. He taught me that my textbooks are written as a narrative where primary source facts are removed and replaced with half truths. We need the whole truth to be taught. We need to become an honest country, with Honest Education where we face our past truthfully and move forward with dignity. If we teach our children the truth, we will have an engaged society instead of the one we built where one third of the population does not vote as they think their vote does not matter, as they understand the deception but are in a state of learned helplessness. We need to empower our youth!

Children and Families

We the people deserve a living wage. Raising the minimum wage to $20.00 an hour is not a big ask. Smaller businesses can receive a tax break,  while larger billionaire corporations carry more of the tax burden. This will help stimulate growth and overall the economy works better for everyone. I have a strong belief in Unions and come from a Union family. My Father John Robinson Clark III, was a UAW member at General Motors for 25 years. My grandfather, Kenneth Griffin Clark was the Vice President of The United Textile Workers of America fighting the factory owners in Lowell for a 5 cent raise.

Government Transparency

We the people deserve to know where our tax dollars are going. We pay the salaries of every elected official in Massachusetts. No government body should be allowed to hide it’s performance from the people. The State of Massachusetts legislature is not a private corporation, it needs to answer to a recent poll where 81% of Massachusetts voters believe the AG should enforce the voter-approved law requiring an audit of the state legislature. This is an uptick since the 2024 election, receiving 72% of the vote to audit the state legislature.

Programs and Pathways to Home Ownership

We the people deserve the ability to buy and own a home. Home ownership is the cornerstone of the American dream, and should be an attainable goal. Our young people in their twenties and thirties cannot afford to buy a home. Our government should do everything possible to stop large corporations from buying single family homes that have driven up housing costs for everyday working Americans. Affordability needs to be a priority along with creating paths to home ownership with educational programs that teach loan acquisition, credit repair, affordability, and Co-housing programs.

We the people need to keep our vulnerable children and families safe and preserve our social security funds. Every American and Massachusetts tax payer needs to understand that research has proven we are paying for the oftentimes wrongful removal of American children from their loving home. We are paying for wrongful judicial interference in divorce and custody cases. Family Court fraud has reached epidemic levels and is siphoning every American's Social Security safety net. The fabric of Massachusetts families is being destroyed at alarming rates due Title IV-E & D fraud. There has not been an independent audit on DCF since 2017. Yet, a federal audit in 2022 by the Office of Inspector General found Massachusetts to be one of the five worst states for missing children in foster care. Oftentimes they are not reported missing. We must demand more oversight on group foster care homes licensed by the EEC. We must demand our constitutional rights, due process and bring cameras into family court to help stop the fraud and expose bad actors who benefit from increasing conflict between parents.

Peace first. Conflict last. No More Foreign Wars.

We the people voted. We want the endless wars to stop. We voted against our tax dollars paying for foreign wars. Until every Veteran is taken care of with housing, health care, and provided with job opportunities we have no business spending tax dollars in foreign countries. I do not agree with sending our sons and daughters to foreign lands to fight a foreign war. If war came to the United States, I would put myself on the front line and give my life for my country. That is the only way I would ask anyone else to fight for our country. I agree that we need a strong state side military to protect our country and watch over our citizens. My grandmother Thelma May worked for Raytheon in Framingham for 25 years. Massachusetts defense technology is something every American can be proud of. Air defense systems, and cybersecurity, can help bring manufacturing jobs back to Massachusetts. This is for protection, not invasion and our tax dollars should be spent on our country’s protection. I believe in assisting our allies with very limited special operations with congressional oversight, transparency, and verified primary source intelligence. I am against large scale foreign engagements as history has proven that America was dragged into these conflicts by obfuscated intelligence. Our government must begin placing America’s safety first, and rebuilding a population that respects, honors, and has the moral fortitude and fiber to bring trust back to our military leaders with a promise to be a protector and not an invader.

Immigration Reform

We the people are all immigrants in the United States, unless you are Native American, you are an immigrant in this country.  Our newest immigrants deserve dignity, and an improved efficient pathway to citizenship. There needs to be a fair process to becoming a United States Citizen, and one that does not harm and demoralize the existing population. This pathway has become burdened, obfuscated, and corrupted in red tape. I am against open borders that have proven to be problematic as research has shown it causes more harm than good and most importantly facilitates child trafficking. Strong borders help legitimate refugees, who are seeking asylum in the safety of our country. We need revamped policies to help small businesses and farmers to provide practical opportunities and safer conditions for the needed and welcomed migrant workforce who are here temporarily but legally.

A Living Wage

" UNTIL WE STOP CORRUPTION ALL THE INCREDIBLE PROGRAMS

WE CREATE WONT BE EFFECTIVE !"

We the people need to stand up and protect our LGBTQ+ community and stand together with them up for these basic human rights. Non-discrimination protections currently apply to race, religion, and gender should be expanded. They need to include the LGBTQ community. Passing the Equality Act would explicitly ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender.

LGBTQ+ Equality

Anti-Racism

We the people need to stand up against all written, verbal, and institutionalized displays of racism when they occur. We all need to stand up, be vocal, call out, and rise against any and all forms of systemic and institutionalized racism. Since 1776 and currently America is not safe, welcoming, nor supportive enough when it comes to people of color. Racism is alive in America and overtly being reinforced in the current administration. I believe in reparations and will fight for them and work to reform of our current system.

Freedom from Oppression and Occupation

We the people, under the Constitution of The United States are protected under our first amendment rights to voice our opinion, speak our mind, openly discuss, peacefully protest, and educate others whenever there is oppression of an exploited class. This fundamental right, and cornerstone of our democracy has been challenged in recent years where free speech has been weaponized, politicized, and stifled. At all costs, this right needs to be strengthened, and reformed to where it is again, protected, preserved, and renewed. We no longer have a truly free press. We have a captured media of corporations that provide information to benefit the billionaire class. We have a mainstream media that exists to push products, ideas, and a narrative that will increase the wealth of their shareholders. We must return to our fundamental ideals where we have a free press that exists without fear of retaliation, consequences, and harm.  My values are anti white supremacist, anti colonialist and anti imperialist.

MAIN PLATFORM

STOP GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION

Gaige is pro Union, pro working families, pro education reform.

She believes in people first, billionaires second.

CORRUPTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE . NOTHING ELSE WILL CHANGE UNLESS WE DEAL WITH ROOT CAUSE OF THE BROKEN SYSTEM!

THE BLOCKING OF GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY INDICATES HIDDEN CORRUPTION AND WHY OUR SYSTEM IS FAILING.

OUR LEGISLATERS ARE WRITING BILLS, CREATING ACTS, CHANGING LAWS. WHAT HAS IT DONE?  CREATED A SYSTEM THAT BECOMES MORE CORRUPT EVERY YEAR AND DISEMPOWERS THE PEOPLE!

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROTESTING, CALLING OUR SENATORS, MEETING OUR CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS, VOTING, FILING LAW SUITS, WHISTLEBLOWING, WORKING JOBS, TAKING CARE OF OUR CHILDREN AND ELDERLY, DOING THE RIGHT THING!

JUST TO WITNESS IT ALL GETTING WORSE.

OUR LEGISLATORS HAVE BEEN PUTTING A BAND AID ON ALL THE OTHER ISSUES INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE MAIN ISSUE: GOVERNMENT OVEREACH, SYSTEMIC FRAUD, INSIDER TRADING, HIDING SEXUAL HARASSMENT FROM OUR LEADERS THAT TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR!

Save the Environment, Water, and our Farms

We the people all agree we need to stop harming the earth and have solutions that stop corporations from poisoning the soil and water. We need sensible programs that have been proven to be less harmful to the environment and not cause more damage. We are losing our farmers to big corporations who have priced out the little guy. Now more than ever we need to support our local farmers.
