It's Time for a Political Revolution

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS
Missouri 4th District

My name is Jack Truman. And I'm running for U.S. Congress.

Missouri is my home state. These are my roots. It's time to bring my lifetime of experience to help change the world.

It's time for a radical change in our government.

It's time for a political revolution.

Bernie Sanders is my role model.

Bernie and Donald Trump are a perfect example of how the public feels about our politicians and our government. People are sick and tired of a corrupt, fixed and crooked Washington. It's time to shake things up and start outside of the box.

In my congressional district, the 4th District in Missouri, there's 26 counties. From SW Missouri, to Kansas City, to Columbia and Jefferson City. Most of this district is rural and conservative. But the name Truman means a lot around these parts.

I'm an Army veteran.
College Graduate.
Former College professor.
Public speaker.
Small business owner.
Filmmaker and veteran of the entertainment industry.

And much more.

I'm looking forward to this primary. An underground, independent, no budget campaign. Mainly focused on an online social primary.

Let's make things happen.

Making Our Country Great Again

JACK TRUMAN FOR CONGRESS
Missouri 4th Congressional District


You've got to give Donald Trump credit. No matter what you think of him, he is right about one thing:

We need to make America great again.

He's right.

A lot of people think we're already great. Well, we are great at a lot of things. But a lot of things, we're also about the worst in the world at. In fact, we've regressed in a lot of ways. As a country, we've evolved, but have also regressed and stepped back to make America a lot worse than it used to be in a lot of ways.

And it all has to do with today's culture.

Today's culture has no discipline.
Nobody follows rules.
Everyone things they're entitled, without doing anything.

A lot different that when I was growing up 30 to 40 years ago.

It's a different time. And in today's world, that's not a good thing.

And you know what it all comes down to?

Technology.

People today have no social connection. They don't communicate. People have thousands of friends on the internet they've never met. My definition of 'friend' is a lot different than today's culture. People don't talk. They don't meet. No one gets together just to chat, visit, or have a cup of coffee. It's a different time.

About 20 years ago, my Mother was telling me that computers are going to be the destruction of our country.

I think she's right.

A lot of change has to be done. A radical change. It's going to take regular people who can think outside the box to make radical changes to make our country better and great again.

It's time for a radical change.

It's time for a political revolution.

It's time to make our country great again.

This Summer's Congress Campaign

JACK TRUMAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS
Missouri District 4


There's a lot to do.

I'm running for U.S. Congress in SW Missouri's 4th Congressional District. The largest populated district in the state. 26 counties. Most rural and conservative. And I'm a liberal Democratic candidate.

This will be an adventure.

There's a lot to do this summer.

My primary is self-funded and truly independent. No fundraising here. Just a primarily online campaign. With tools like a blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube...everything is out there online for people to see about me. I say everything I think about the issues, and anyone can find out about it. No need to spend a lot of money traveling around 26 counties during primary season. Especially in a conservative part of the state. A lot more can get done by tapping into this new culture with an Online Primary Campaign.

This should be a lot of fun.

Lots of projects to do this summer.

Are you ready for a radical idea?

Are you ready for a political revolution?

My name is Jack Truman. And I'm running for Congress.

Terrorism, Homeland Security and the 2nd Amendment

Jack Truman for U.S. Congress
Missouri 4th Congressional District


Bernie Sanders is my political role model. Quoting Bernie, I want to say:

Are you ready for a radical idea?

It's time for a political revolution.

This week it's all about Terrorism, Homeland Security and the 2nd Amendment.

Usually when people think about terrorism, they think about international terrorism with foreign terrorists. But as a country, we have a much bigger problem with domestic terrorism. Looking at things like the Oklahoma City bombing, the school shootings that started with Columbine, the public places like movie theaters where mass shootings take place, there's constant domestic terrorism going on in America. This is where our focus as a country has to change.

Homeland Security has not done the job that was intended. Since 9/11, all of the hundreds of millions and billions of dollars spent for Homeland Security hasn't stopped people being found with weapons on planes or when they get off planes. Instead of blowing millions of dollars a year on Homeland Security, that money needs to be taken and spent on the next project: changing and protecting the 2nd Amendment.

The 2nd Amendment is where we need to do a lot of work. Americans have the right to bear arms. But when the old white guys over 250 years ago wrote our Constitution, they never wrote it with the vision of assault weapons in mind with the future. Back in those days, you had single shot guns that you had to put gunpowder in to protect yourself in duels, wars and such. This culture is going back to the Wild West days by allowing weapons in schools, government buildings and the public. Instead of this, we need to change and amend the 2nd amendment to ban all assault weapons, and still allow guns in the home for protection. By banning assault weapons, terrorism would reduce, Homeland Security wouldn't be needed the way it is now, and gun violence wouldn't be as rampant in our country.

Terrorism, Homeland Security and the 2nd Amendment.

They're all linked together.

It's time for a change.
It's time for a political revolution.
