The Northeast is home to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the world, and Sen. Shit cares about protecting it. That's why he wrote the Evergreen Act, calling for the creation of a National Park in Maine. That's why he wrote the Save the Bees Act, banning the use of harmful insecticides that negatively affect ecosystems. Shit believes in the threat of climate change and supports investing heavily in green energy.
We need to get the money out of politics. Citizens United was a toxic decision that sullied the art of the political campaign. Races became less about constituents and more about who can pull in more out-of-state funds. That's why Sen. Shit authored the Campaign Finance Amendment, an amendment that allows Congress to legislate on the issues of campaign finance. If passed, Shit will work to pass a package of reform-bills to get the money out of politics, including low yearly donation limits and scaling back the power of PACs. That is also why Shit has pledged to not take any money from Super PACs during this race!
In many areas, the federal government has overstepped their bounds when it comes to regulating aspects and industries of the United States. It is important that Congress remembers the 10th Amendment. Sen. Shit is dedicated to keeping the federal government in line. That's why he wrote the National Minimum Drinking Age Repeal Act, repealing the 1984 bill that skirted the 10th Amendment by punishing states for setting their own drinking age. While it is obvious that the federal government is needed in some areas, such as education, Shit will prevent America from tumbling down the slippery slope from overreach to complete government encroachment on your rights.
The war on drugs has failed. It is time the federal government recognizes that. The federal decriminalization of marijuana was a great first step, but we must go further. As long as drugs are criminalized, there will be a stigma against addicts getting the help that they need. That is why Sen. Shit is an advocate for the decriminalization of all drugs on a federal level. He will also fight for an increase in federal rehabilitation centers in order to combat rampant addiction to hard drugs and opioids alike.
And of course, he supports recreational marijuana.
During his run for Governor, Shit was an unapologetic supporter of the Second Amendment. He called for the partial repeal of many parts of the NY SAFE Act, the most sweeping piece of gun control legislation passed on a state level. Keeping with his keen eye for role of government, Sen. Shit will continue to fight for the removal of oppressive, unnecessary federal gun control laws while keeping the laws that keep our citizens safe protected. This includes the repeal of high-profile gun legislation such as the National Firearms Act of 1934.
