Hi, I'm Phil Cleaves from Dexter, Maine and I'm running for Congress in Maine's 2nd Congressional District
I was born and raised here in Dexter, Maine along with my sister and brother. We were raised by 2 wonderful, loving, hard working parents, I started working 2nd shift at Eastland Woolen Mill in Corinna when I was 16 while also going to High School before work. I Graduated in '79 and went to work at Dexter Shoe. In '82 I joined a Volunteer Organization called The Dexter Jaycees where I learned a lot about helping people, helping our town and our State. I became President of the Dexter Jaycees in '83 -'84.
I have 4 kids, 3 girls, 1 boy.. 10 Grandchildren 8 girls, 2 boys (this is why I've learned and care so much about Women's Rights). While living down in Gray, I realized, it's like a whole different State, Which needs to change by adding jobs here in district 2, which adds growth and money into our area. I'm also an ex High school football and baseball coach. Like in those 2 sports, it takes a team effort to win, the same way it needs to be a team effort to bring jobs to the area, grow the area and get America back on track and into the 21st Century.
A Wise man once said “We need new blood in the political process, and you are that new blood,” Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders told his supporters following his loss last year in the hotly contested Democratic presidential primary. “ ... It means that, at every level, we continue the fight to make our society a nation of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.”
I'm Running on the issues that effects us all! I've been through the wringer and know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck.
I'm running to work for all Americans, I will not get caught up in Partisan Politics, That is not going to help to our State or Country. Vote for me. WE can and WILL get it done.
I'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN
MEDICARE FOR ALL
Health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege. Every man, woman and child in our country should be able to access the health care they need regardless of their income. The only long-term solution to America's health care crisis is a single-payer national health care program.
CREATING JOBS
PREPAID COLLEGE
MMT
CLIMATE CHANGE
We NEED to rid ourselves of our oil dependency. If we want a healthy planet for our kids and grandkids, We need to change now. Some alternatives are Wind, Hydro, Solar. A little tidbit on Solar, The solar industry is adding workers at a rate nearly 20 times faster than the overall economy. Solar industry employment has grown by 86 percent in the past five years, resulting in nearly 80,000 domestic living-wage jobs. It's why we need MMT , To save our planet.
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
2017 and I can't believe we are still fighting for Women's Rights. Much of the progress that has been made for women’s rights in the 20th century is still under attack by the Republican party! — 1.) Blocking equal pay for equal work. 2.) Denying women control over their own bodies, We wont allow the Republicans to defund Planned Parenthood, we will expand it. Planned Parenthood provides important healthcare services for millions of women, who rely on its clinics every year for affordable, quality health care services including cancer prevention, STI and HIV testing and general primary health care services. This has to stop, here and now!
MMT or MODERN MONETARY THEORY
MMT or MODERN MONETARY THEORY is a way to Create virtually no unemployment with a Jobs Guarantee and other great things the Government doesn't want you to know like, Debt is good. USA is a sovereign government, we can NEVER GO BROKE. It's something we can do NOW. I promise when I'm elected, I have 2 experts in this field and I will bring them to Congress and we will really get our Country moving in the right direction ! For More Info, Please Check out one of the experts I was mentioning ... Dr. Stephanie Kelton was the economic adviser to the Bernie 2016 campaign ...
