ISSUES TOM STEYER COULD RUN ON
Here are the following policies Tom Steyer could run on as the "anti-Trump".
Plan of Action
1. Fight Income Inequality and Corporate Greed. Demand the wealthy and the corporations pay their fair share in taxes. (Return Taxation to the Pre-Bush Tax-Cuts era)
2. Increase the federal minimum wage.
3. Create a Green New Deal. Put more Americans to work and save the environment by investing in a green energy economy. Create millions of jobs by transitioning to a 100% clean and renewable energy economy by 2030, and by investing in public transportation, sustainable agriculture, national parks, research and conservation.
4. Guarantee Single Payer Health Care as a right to all Americans.
5. Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement
6. Make College Tuition Free and Debt Free. End Student Debt.
Fighting Income Inequality and Greed:
America now has more wealth and income inequality than any major developed country on Earth and the gap between the rich and everyone else is wider than any time since the 1920s.
The reality is that since the 1980s, there has been an enormous transfer of wealth from the middle class and poor to the 0.1% of wealthiest people in this country. A theft of wealth. Or a welfare program for the rich. There is something deeply sick with our society today when middle class families go bankrupt trying to pay for their health care, while one tenth of the top one percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. And 58% of all the new income since the Wall Street crash has gone to the top one percent.
There is also something deeply wrong with our society when millions of Americans are working more for less, and we have the highest childhood poverty rate of nearly any developed nation on Earth.
Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential campaign with promises of new jobs and economic growth for America's working class Americans. But instead, since his inauguration into office, he has worked tirelessly with Republicans to further increase the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the one percent. He has worked to take away health care from the needy so he can give tax cuts to billionaires. President Donald Trump also has a very sorry record in terms of charity. Last year Trump's charity had three big donors, and none of them were Donald Trump. He is also in the midst of shutting down his own charity.
By contrast, Tom Steyer signed the Giving Pledge, agreeing to give half his wealth to charity. Vote against greed. Vote for Steyer.

ARTICLES ON TOM STEYER RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
Billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer for president? (The Washington Post, 11-29-16)
POINTS WE COULD MAKE IN AN ARTICLE SUPPORTING TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT
According to the 25th Amendment, the Vice President and the President's Cabinet have the legal authority to remove the President from office if they deem him mentally unfit to serve:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election and became the President of the United States of America. But over the course of his presidency, he has shown many times that he is not mentally fit to serve the office. This is not a Democratic issue. This is not a Republican issue. It is an issue of National Security.
We suggest that the President be subjected to a rigorous mental health evaluation to determine if he is mentally fit for office, and if he is deemed to be mentally unfit, his Vice President and Cabinet should do their patriotic duty to protect the country, and execute their right under the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office.
