Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm Liam Dorris, a Marine Corps Veteran driven by a profound dedication to serve and uplift communities. My journey is fueled by unwavering principles: justice, ethical governance, and a commitment to empower every voice.

I've identified crucial areas where our nation demands urgent change:

• Essentials for Human Life: The basic needs of individuals – food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare – should never be commodities subjected to the free market. Struggling to meet these fundamental needs breeds misery and is often the root cause of societal unrest and crime.

• Rejection of Legalized Bribery: Our political landscape must be free from the grip of legalized bribery, rejecting the influence of unlimited super-PAC contributions or gifts. Both major political parties are entangled in this web, shaping decisions that favor those who can afford influence over the needs of the people.

• Government Serving the People: A clear demarcation between government and corporate interests is imperative. Corporations represent profit motives, while the government's role should be centered on the welfare of its citizens, particularly those grappling with meeting their basic needs.

• Challenges to Our Democratic Principles: The equation of money with speech in our democratic system silences the majority, giving disproportionate voice to the affluent minority. This imbalance undermines the essence of democracy, muting over 90% of the populace.

• Emphasis on Diplomacy and Humanity: Upholding humane values and diplomacy, both at home and on the global stage, defines our moral compass. Those who reject these principles cannot be allies in our pursuit of a just and equitable society.

• Condemnation of Forever Wars: Wars fueled by the profit-driven interests of corporations and the wealthy breed suffering, claiming the lives of soldiers and civilians while lining the pockets of the war industry. Rejecting these 'forever wars' is paramount to upholding human dignity and global peace.

I am a candidate for the United States House of Representatives in Indiana's 9th Congressional District Election.

Join me in our quest for positive change, as we build a future where every individual's needs are met, where fairness and equality thrive, and where progress is a collective endeavor.

Together, let's transform vision into action!
