Know your Candidates #4 - Robby Wells

Welcome to Know Your Candidates, a fresh weekly feature here on Change and Cherish Blog that gives you the chance to learn about presidential candidates you may know nothing about! The feature maintains this blog's vision of ensuring that every voice is heard and that every light has the opportunity to shine. Major news networks fail to consider these things when they insist on focusing on controversial or purely entertaining candidates.

Let's Meet ... Robby Wells!

According to Robby's candidacy website Robby Wells for President (click here to see more), his platform focuses on what he calls 'Eaglenomics.' This concept is comprised of 12 different issues.

First, Robby wants to make sure immigrants who otherwise can't pay to enter the country legally can instead enter a four-year program serving the US government or military to earn their citizenship.

Second, Robby wants to enact universal childcare to help single parents go back to school and work.

Third, as part of his actual economic plan, Robby wants to improve the nation's economy by doing ... a whole bunch of things, actually. I was going to write more, but the plan is actually quite detailed, so click here to get a more full overview of that.

Fourth, Robby wants to develop energy independence so we can stop doing business with countries harboring terrorist factions.

Fifth, Robby wants to destroy every label except for that of 'American.' He hopes this will help individuals stop focusing on differences and instead focus on similarities.

Sixth, Robby wants to ensure that veterans are never associated with the words 'homeless' or 'unemployed.'

Seventh, Robby wants to stop sending manufacturing overseas and ensure those kinds of jobs remain in the US.

Eighth, Robby wants to create 'millions of jobs.'

Ninth, Robby wants to eliminate student loan debts by ensuring the Federal Government can't profit off of them.

Tenth, Robby wants to make undergraduate college tuition free for all.

Eleventh, Robby wants to bring back the concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by making sure everyone firmly believes they can rise to the top no matter their extenuating circumstances.

Twelfth, Robby wants to improve the military by making sure we are more technologically advanced than any other country.

Normally, I would recommend checking out Robby's profile at OnTheIssues.org, but he doesn't have one for some reason. Go figure!

What's My Opinion?

As always, when it comes down to it, you need to decide what issues speak to you the most. I hope these blog posts are seen as an opportunity to expand your mind regarding your options.

That being said, I find it disappointing that there are so few presidential candidates in the running. The democratic party especially has very few contenders stepping up to the plate. Even despite this, I personally believe the best leaders are those who have the majority of their charges firmly on their side. The presidential debates often seem more polarizing than anything else. When the election is over, the parties never seem to be able to forgive each other.

Anyway, what do you think? Be sure to comment below!
