Jon Ossoff liberal policies

[fun n serious]

CRIMINAL JUSTICE
When it comes to crime in America, we need to rethink our priorities. Jon is an experienced investigator who has successfully targeted organized criminals and corrupt officials.

Violent crime, murder, rape, human trafficking, and corruption are rampant, while we spend billions locking up nonviolent drug offenders.

It just doesn’t make sense.

Jon will introduce legislation to empower task forces at the Department of Justice dedicated to fighting organized crime and political corruption. He will work to give law enforcement the tools and resources they need to take down organized criminals wherever they are.

Jon will work to reduce mass incarceration of nonviolent offenders, which punishes taxpayers and wastes American lives.


THE ENVIRONMENT
Jon will be informed by scientists, not lobbyists, when it comes to environmental policy, and he will work to make Georgia a clean energy economic powerhouse.

There is a clear scientific consensus that climate change is driven by human activity and that it threatens global prosperity, health, and security. This is not just the opinion of activists; it is the studied conclusion of our country’s distinguished scientists. Our military and intelligence agencies agree. Jon will oppose efforts to undo the climate change agreement reached last year in Paris and will work to make the United States a global leader against climate change.

Clean air and clean water are not controversial. They are essential to our health, our prosperity, and our quality of life. Jon will oppose and investigate failures to enforce environmental laws. He will support our national parks and work to conserve America’s treasured wildlife and natural beauty.
and more....

1. Sounds Progressive to me.. you'd think the

"most popular politician in America!!!!!" and the "Chairman of Outreach" would have a couple of positive words about Jon Ossoff instead of invested in labels.

So where's the freakin' Outreach for Jon Ossoff from the chairman?

Jon will stand up in Congress for a dynamic, forward-looking, fiscally responsible economic policy that maximizes opportunity for entrepreneurs, workers, and investors.

Jon will work to level the playing field for small businesses so they can grow and create jobs that will empower Georgians to strive, save, send our kids to college affordably, and retire comfortably.

Jon will work in Congress to reduce the tax burden on small businesses and simplify small business tax filing. He will work to repeal wasteful, anti-competitive special interest subsidies that make it hard for entrepreneurs to raise capital, enter the market, create jobs, and compete with larger firms who have lobbyists in Washington.

Jon will go to work to ensure that health insurance premiums don’t cripple businesses or force them to lay off employees.

Jon will defend equal pay for equal work and fight any effort to allow wage discrimination against women or minorities.

Jon believes the minimum wage should be a living wage. He will support an increase in the federal minimum wage indexed to cost of living and implemented at a pace that allows employers to adapt their business plans.

Mahalo, fun n serious

2. Yes, his platform

Stands for woman's right to choose, planned parenthood, decriminalizing drug offenses, defends NATO, Great medical for all. Pro peace and anti war...

He sounds awesome!!

3. Awesome and in Georgia! It's the Women who

have helped Jon Ossoff!

Thank you so much for this!

[fun n serious]

4. Women and people of color seem to be the ones with most reason.

They have saved humanity many times.

[Cha]

5. Oh Yes, People of Color.. Jon Ossoff.. former

aide to John Lewis, too!

[fun n serious]

6. Calling Ossoff " not a progressive" is a smear

IMO it has a lot to do with Ossoff's John Lewis endorsement. IIRC the CBC did not take to Bernie to well and vise versa.

[Cha]

7. That's about as petty

as you can get.

Very smeary.. why get hung up on labels.. especially when you're wrong?

[fun n serious]

8. This thread talks about the difference

between the congressional black Caucasus. It's a good read with data.

Most definitely.. we include POC and Women in our Progressive Principles!

[fun n serious]

11. That is and has always been our base.

Can't win without the base.

[Cha]

12. Yeah, so no one better think

they can come along and try to change it.

[fun n serious]

13. When I hear leftists say 'we need to move past identity politics' & in the next breath talk about

Working Class.. that is a dog whistle to me, and I hear it loud and clear.

14. I bet.. I'm sick of his

lingo..

Bernie Sanders still says class is more important than race. He is still wrong

15. I agree, Cha.

You can NEVER have income equality without addressing social justice.

The New Deal was white only, and they, intentionally or not, are asking for a repeat.

[Cha]

16. REC!

Like we can't multi task!

[fun n serious]

17. Exactly!!

19. That's ok, BS.. Samuel Jackson Knows who Jon Ossoff is..

Samuel L Jackson made a campaign Ad for him...

Democrat Jon Ossoff gets Hollywood help in Georgia special election

snip//

Democrats are pumping millions into the Georgia congressional election set for Tuesday, hoping 30-year-old political upstart Jon Ossoff can leverage celebrity endorsements to deliver a rebuke to President Trump and his first 100 days in office, and help the party reclaim lost momentum.

Paving the way is actor Samuel L. Jackson, who helped create a radio ad urging voters to flip the seat previously held by Republican Tom Price, who is now Trump’s health secretary.

His ad highlighted “Pulp Fiction" references as he announced: “Vote for the Democratic Party. Stop Donald Trump, a man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism. We have to channel the great vengeance and fury we have for this administration into votes at the ballot box.”
