Our Vision of America
Our way of seeing America is everyone not being afraid of who we really are without being criticized.
Speech
Good morning ladies and gentlemen I hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. My name is Alyssa Wilson and i would like you to “come hang with me in the hype house”. I am going to start with the issue of Marijuana laws the government doesn't allow us to access a drug that could have us with pain and mental disorders. It is criminalized and seen as worse than say alcohol but the fact is alcohol related deaths are way more common than marijuana related deaths. Prohibitionists laws waste billions of dollars criminalizing MJ users even for low level offenders. Black people and Latinos are disproportionately arrested for MJ even though white people use at similar rates. Finally Extremely ill people are unable to access the benefits and more than half the country supports the legalization of marijuana. The LGBTQ+ community has made great strides over the years but that being said there are still so many social inequalities that happen everyday all over. Everyone should be proud of who they are and who they love. Bringing an end to homophobia and Trans-Phobia will save lives. People apart of this community face economic and social exclusion every single day. I bet we could all relate to school funding and that schools do not get enough money to be able to provide for our teachers and children. Places that are in the lower income nearly get any money to pay for basic school supplies for the students. I believe that child welfare programs for our children should be fully supported and funded. The last issue i would like to address today is gun control. In many of the states you do not need a license or a permit to obtain a weapon, making it easier to end up in the wrong persons hands. The average of guns in the U.S. is 88 to 100 people own a firearm. Around 114,994 people are shot every year this included murder, assault, accidents, police intervention, suicide attempts, and suicide. People can also sell firearms basically anyway such as online or at auctions. I want to end the gun violence and school shootings that occur to often in this time and make it safer for our kids,no one should be scared of walking down the street or afraid to go to school so i am here to change this high rising issue. My vision of the future is to give more power to the people. No more getting taxed higher than the wealthy, no more telling women what they can and can't do with their body, and no more expensive outrageous college tuition. I am the choice for you if you want your money to be yours. I am the choice for you if you are tired of people telling you what you can do with your personal life. I am the choice for you if you want a safer and better future for your children, if you vote for me i can guarantee a more affordable safer environment for our friends and family. We need to start protecting the people and stop this grave amount of violence that takes place everyday our children should not been in this world of fear and i will change this. So vote for me if you feel it is your life and the government should not control it. Thank you for your time and i hope you vote for me and the future of your children. |
