Ron Simmons for U.S. House of Representatives

Independent Candidate, New Mexico District 3

LOBBYING & BALANCE OF POWERS            I support: 

  • ending the electoral college so that the  U.S. president is elected by popular vote
  • barring practices by states or political parties that deny the equal weight of each vote, such as superdelegates or winner-take-all primaries                             
  • elimination of all lobbying & special-interest money from politics, so that lobbying and lawmaking take place with ideas, not money
  • allowing only individuals to contribute to public-office candidates, only during campaigns; lower donation and campaign spending caps 
  • a strict reading of the Constitution to maintain citizen rights under the Bill of Rights, to outlaw Presidential “signing statements” and to return war declaration power to Congress
