Equalop Political Party Rebecca Popara

All people deserve to have equal treatment, and have the opportunity to excel in life. Equalop strives for all citizens in the United States to have a voice in their government, and be proactive humans that help to form a strong nation. We strongly believe in equal treatment, because without it our nation cannot strive to be its best. At our base, our main values are to love each other as we love ourselves, and always try to put forth our best work, and effort. In a strong, hardworking nation successful leaders are developed.

Equal Opportunities For All

Logo: The different colors represent that everyone has differences, and that it is important to embrace our own, and those of others. The squares overlapping represents that everyone must work together, and communicate for there to be an effective government. There are some parts of the squares that are not connected, and those represent ideas that people don’t have in common. The parts that are woven together represent unity, and similar ideas that people have. The whole picture as a whole represents unity, equality, and opportunities for all.

1. Foreign Policy:
 * Aid to countries/regions in need
 * If a country is in a conflict, war, or is trying to gain independence from its government the U.S. will try to provide aid by giving supplies such as weapons, food, and other necessities.
 * If a country is starving from drought or other problems, the U.S. will try to provide food, and other supplies needed.
 * Money for supplies will be supplied from federal taxes.
 * Wars
 * The president has the authority/power to order a war, but congress has a 40% say in the final decision. People that work with the president will have a 10% say, and the president himself will have 50%. (If the president is the only person that agrees with going to war, he may not proceed.)
 * Terrorism
 * If it is speculated that a terrorist attack is taking place, or that one is being planned, some of the most elite military forces will be called to stop them.
 * There will be plans, so that people know what to do if there is a terrorist attack. (Escape, safety)
 * All people that are legally migrating into the US will go through a background check. (More government officials would be hired so that the job took less time)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This also prevents racial, cultural, and other types of profiling.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">National Security
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Airport Security
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All people should go through high airport security screening except for frequent travelers that go though a metal detector, and occasionally go through normal, high security screening.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Frequent travelers include people that travel on average at least two times a month.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Energy Security
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Equalop will be responsible with all energy, and will try to enforce “green” ideas to all operations. (Safety first)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Environmental Security
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Equalop believes in the most environmental options for technology, and other things. We encourage all foreign relations to be done with these standards.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Tax Reform:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tax breaks should be handed out sparsely, and only to those that are in need, and that help the community.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">People that help to volunteer for a specific amount of hours for an organization approved by the government, receive a tax break.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If a person is about to file bankruptcy, has over 10 children, or is in financial stress, will receive tax breaks that are approved by state government.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">States can make specific tax breaks, but only if they are approved by the federal government.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When a person receives a tax break, they still get the same services as every other citizen.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Goals of tax reform
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Administration
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The federal government is in charge of general taxes, that help pay for issues including foreign affairs, and trade.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">State Government can make their own taxes as long as they fall with in the standard taxation rules that are currently used.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Collection
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To make sure that everyone pays their taxes, and that taxes are fair there will be several tax collectors per neighborhood. If they choose to help, and participate with the tax process it is possible for them to receive a tax break.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tax code structure
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For a new tax code to be passed, the president must thoroughly explain the plan, and have the people of the nation vote on it to see if it will be effective.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Distribution, State/Federal
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Federal Government will collect taxes that will help fund the military, and other nation wide obligations. (As well as Education)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The State Government’s taxes will help with public transportation, and other small necessities, as well as the payment of city workers.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Civil Rights Reform:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Women’s Rights
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Many women don’t receive equal treatment in the workplace as men because many people think that they are incapable of doing what a man can do.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In many business environments women are paid less than men for the same job simply because they are a women.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are many other injustices towards women, just like these that occur on a day to day basis.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Equalop party is all about giving everyone equal opportunities, and by trying to pass a law that requires every worker to be paid the same for the same job no matter of their ability, age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, religion, and/or race we can ensure that everyone is treated fairly.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Helping Homeless
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stress shelters/organizations for homeless that need help finding a home, or getting off of the streets.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Government will help to fund homelessness organizations more.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If more people are off the streets, there are more opportunities for people to be successful.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To encourage people to help with the homeless, volunteer hours will alter their taxes, based on how much time they devote to helping those in need.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This will not only motivate people to help each other, but it can also help many families that might have tough financial situations.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Electoral Reform:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All candidate's must pass a politics test that proves their knowledge and credibility as a leader. This test will include factual questions on current issues in, and out of the U.S., as well as questions on rules about how the government works.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The purpose of this is to make sure that the president is knowledgeable, and can effectively lead his people.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Election funding
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All candidates are funded by the government for the equal amount of advertisements for their campaings.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This makes the election process more equal and fair.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each candidate can use this funding how they find it most suitable.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A candidate can only receive funding when he/she is very serious about the race, and has at least 5 percent of the people’s vote.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If a candidate can’t receive 5 percent of the people’s vote he/she is allotted to get funding from other people. (They can’t receive more funding that the government gives out to the other candidates)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If over 50% of the population votes that a candidates ideas do not follow the constitution, it is mandatory that the person withdrawals from the race.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Having ideas to change/modify Constitution is fine, as long as doesn’t go against main morals/ethics.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Trade Reform:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Legal/Illegal goods
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If the good being traded is legal in either the country it came from, or the country it is going to the US will have no legal interactions with the supplier of the said item.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If drugs and other harmful substances are traded illegally, the US has the right to arrest a person from another country if they participated in the transactions.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Allies vs. Enemies
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The US will try to develop peaceful relationships with all countries
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In order for the US to maintain good relationships they will trade with countries in a good position with them.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If a country is an Enemy with the US trading is allowed, however it is strongly discouraged so that these interactions cannot be used to the other countries advantage. (Relationships with enemies will try to be mended)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Free Trade
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Trade that is not involved with the government must be legal, and if a person is cheated of their money there will be no more relations with the specific trader.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If a food/good is illegal in receiving or exporting country, it can not come in our out of the U.S.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Prices on goods
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If the US has a higher price on a good than another country, the exports that are brought in be sold at a lower price, so that farmers from the US will be encouraged to not rely on other countries. (This will also hopefully bring in more jobs)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Also, farmers that are organic, and try to use the most efficient farming.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Education:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All children deserve to have equal education no matter where they live.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">School resources should not be distributed by tax payments, but by number of students per school,or in area
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each school receives the same resources, just in different quantities based on amount of students per school
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At end of each school year during break there is an assessment of resources and schools are restocked.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Money from taxes will still be used to fund education.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Federal government has control over funding, and equal distribution per amount of people in school.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">State Government has control over curriculum, and hiring of teachers, and staff.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Union staff
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All teachers that teachers must have a bachelors degree, in either education, and/or the specific subject that they teach.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">All teachers that teach the same subject must undergo a test that they must retake every four years proving that they are credible to teach the subject.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Educators that specialize in each specific topic will meet with each other to compose these tests.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Payment of staff
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Every time a teacher passes the test without having to retake it they receive a five percent pay raise on their current income.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">An educators income will also rise or fall based on the price of food, goods, and other materials in their state.
