The Operating Base

You are standing in the War Room — the operational center of United States Strong. Where confusion becomes focus, and grievance becomes action.

The kitchen table is the crucible where the Battle Plan was forged and where it is continually refined. It is the quiet engine of a restoration that does not scream, but calculates. The citizen brings the coordinates of systemic failure — the inflated insurance bill, the claim denied, the regulatory assault. The Operating Base distills this intelligence into four securities:

    • Familial Security
      The family’s authority to govern its own.
    • Economic Security
      The citizen’s independence from government and foreign control.
    • Environmental Security
      The constitutional keystone that keeps the government the servant, not the master.
    • Political Security
      The constitutional keystone that keeps the government the servant, not the master.

The Preamble is not a suggestion; it is a binding command. It obligates the government to:

Establish Justice.
Insure domestic Tranquility.
Provide for the common Defence.
Promote the general Welfare.

Four securities anchor your home. Four duties command the government. Every dereliction violates one. Every strike restores one.

The Docket names the failures. The Battle Plan delivers the strikes.

The War Room is open. See the derelictions below. Join the strike.

The Battle Plan

The Docket is open. The evidence is compiled. The strikes are prepared.

This is the enumeration of our engagements: the derelictions we will expose, the legislative strikes we will execute, and the constitutional fortifications we will raise. Our mandate is clear: Restore the Republic. Return Power to the People. Reclaim Our Future.

This is not a passive document. This is a call to the Blitz.

Familial Security: Our People Free To Grow And To Thrive!

Your Tape Measure, Their Spreadsheet

At your kitchen table, this isn’t politics—it is panic caused by a machine.

Your new insurance bill arrives. The premium is unbelievable. You call your insurer. The voice on the line has a rehearsed calm: “FEMA’s algorithm adjusted your score.” You ask for the math. The reply is flat, “Proprietary.” You ask if anyone ever actually measured your home. The answer is a cold, digital “No.”

The interaction may be polite. The process may seem legitimate. But the outcome is the same: You have no recourse.

This is theft by spreadsheet.

Picture a family in Winter Garden. Their premium leapt from $2,800 to over $4,300. Why? The computer guessed their first-floor height was 1 foot. A simple tape measure proved it was 3 feet. Their appeal was met with a form letter. Their choice was a new premium or a new mortgage.

A machine they can change at will. Data you cannot verify. A price you cannot afford. And no court to appeal to. Today the algorithm raised your premium. Tomorrow it can price you out of your home entirely—unless we strike the root and make accountability the law of the land.

Theft by Algorithm

Here is the truth the establishment does not tell you: Your insurance did not just go up because of storms. It went up because unelected FEMA bureaucrats flipped a switch. And they can flip it again tomorrow.

In 2012, Congress embedded the “actuarial soundness” mandate into law. In 2021, FEMA implemented Risk Rating 2.0—a secret algorithm that sets your flood insurance price using satellite guesswork and tax-record assumptions, without ever seeing your home. You cannot see the math. You cannot verify the data. You cannot appeal to a real court.

For fifteen years, the Derelict Sentry watched this machine get built. He watched it turn on. He watched your premiums double. His response? He co-sponsored a “transparency” bill—to ask the computer politely to show its work while it kept right on emptying your wallet. In July 2025, he promised to “dramatically reform FEMA.” In 2026, he voted to fully fund the program.

They water the leaves of the sick oak tree. I intend to strike the root.

Demolish the Black Box. Restore Your Court.

The insurance crisis is not a market failure. It is a regulatory failure. FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 algorithm sets your premium in secret. You cannot see the math. You cannot verify the data. You cannot appeal to a real court.

The REINS Act makes any major change to insurance pricing require congressional approval. No more secret algorithms. No more switches flipped without your consent. Every major rule faces a public vote.

The Administrative Independence Act restores your 7th Amendment right to a jury trial. When the bureaucracy harms you, you get a real judge—not another bureaucrat.

The algorithm is temporary. Accountability is permanent. I will fight to make both Acts the law of the land.

Your Battle Plan

Step 1: Get Your Paper Trail. Call your insurer. Ask: “Was my rate hike caused by FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0? What ‘First Floor Height’ did the computer use?” Get the answer in writing. That paper is your proof.

Step 2: Check the Computer’s Homework. Grab a tape measure. Go outside. Measure from the ground to your first living floor. If your number is higher than theirs, you have caught the machine in a lie. It is overcharging you.

Step 3: Share the Evidence. Talk to your neighbors. Compare bills. Send me your story. When I stand on the House floor to force the vote, I will hold your proof in my hand.

The Verdict

They want to manage the algorithm. I want to demolish its power over your home.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: a premium set by a machine you cannot see, data you cannot verify, and no court to appeal to. They held hearings. They asked the computer to show its homework. They never pulled the plug.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to make insurance pricing accountable to the people—not to the algorithm—so that no bureaucrat, no algorithm, no memo can ever price you out of your home again.

The Sentry abandoned his post. The citizen must never abandon hers.

I am Ivette Palomo. I am the citizen standing to restore your republic in the United States Congress for Florida’s 11th District—so that your hard work, not a bureaucrat’s algorithm, secures your home.

When Bureaucrats Claim Your Child as Their Subject

At your kitchen table, this isn’t policy—it is a direct assault on your sovereignty.

You are the primary authority over your child’s upbringing. But the DOE’s grip turns that truth into a fiction. Parents in Winter Garden report discovering their children were asked on mandatory school surveys, “What is your current gender identity?”—without their knowledge or consent. Textbooks used in Leesburg reframe the Founding Fathers as mere oppressors, erasing the story of liberty.Academic standards plummet as “social-emotional learning” modules replace phonics and math drills.

This is not education. It is capture.

The DOE presents your local school with a brutal choice: adopt the latest federally-sanctioned ideological framework or lose the funds needed for special education and low-income students. This is federal blackmail, paid for with your tax dollars. They say they’re ‘fighting for parents’ rights’ while, for 15 years, their votes have funded the very system that nullifies them.

The Compliance Cartel vs. The American Family

The U.S. Department of Education is an unconstitutional “compliance cartel.” Created in 1979, it was designed as a financial chokehold—using the conditionality of Title IV and Title VI funding to coerce states and local districts into adopting federally-favored ideological frameworks, as seen in programs like the 2023 ‘Fostering Diverse Schools’ grants which award funding to districts that ‘incorporate anti-bias and anti-racist practices.’

On March 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump declared this federal experiment a failure and issued an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education, ordering its functions returned to the states

Yet for 15 years, leadership has consistently voted for the final passage of every major annual appropriations bill that funds this bureaucracy. When the must-pass bills to fund the government—and the DOE—came to the floor, their hand went up for “Aye” every single time. While the President acts to dismantle it, leadership has spent a decade and a half writing its checks. Their seniority didn’t stop the cartel; it built its budget.

They say they’re “fighting for parents’ rights” while, for years, their votes have funded the very system that nullifies them.

The previous leadership talks about “local control” while voting for 15 years to fund the federal vise that crushes it.

Years of their ‘reliable vote’ built the compliance cartel that now threatens your child. Their seniority built the status quo. My first act will be to pass the law that finally breaks the lock.

 

Execute the Order. Restore the Right.

The President has ordered the DOE closed. Our strategy is to provide the legislative force to execute that order and permanently secure parental sovereignty.

The Legislative Strike

We will wage a two-front war in Washington:

  1. Formally dismantle the U.S. Department of Education through legislation, repatriating its funding and authority directly to states and localities.
  2. Immediately defund all federal ideological programs (CRT, DEI, SEL) and redirect every dollar toward reading proficiency, math competency, and vocational skills training.

This is not reform. It is abolition. We will convert the Department of Education’s building into a monument to federal overreach and use its budget to fund Parents’ Scholarship Accounts, putting education dollars back at your kitchen table.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strike

This is your battle plan. Join me in this endeavor—

One: Gather Your Evidence. Call your child’s school or district office. Ask one specific question: “Can you provide me with a copy of any survey or curriculum material related to gender identity, social-emotional learning, or ‘anti-racist’ frameworks that has been used in my child’s grade this year?” Get it in writing or email.

Two: Measure the Damage. Take that document home. Sit at your kitchen table and read it. Ask your child what they were taught. Then, pull out their latest standardized test score or report card. Compare the time spent on ideological modules against the results in reading, writing, and math. That gap is the cost.

Three: Send Me the Proof. Send me the materials and your story. Tell me what your child was asked, and what they are no longer learning. When I stand on the House floor to introduce the bill to abolish the DOE, I will hold your evidence in my hand. I will say: “This is not a lesson plan. This is the captured mind of a child from Polk City, from Clermont, from Wildwood. The Department of Education did this, and Congress funded it.”

The Verdict

The previous leadership talks about ‘local control’ while voting for 15 years to fund the federal vise that crushes it.

They propose non-binding resolutions. I will pass binding legislation.

They offer sympathetic hearings while the DOE pushes surveys on gender identity. I offer the bill to dismantle the DOE and return every penny and every ounce of authority to you.

Fifteen years of their ‘reliable vote’ built the compliance cartel that now threatens your child. Their seniority built the cage. An Executive Order from President Trump has called for its demolition. My first act will be to pass the law that finally breaks the lock.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your values, not a bureaucrat’s decree, guide your child’s mind.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

When Policy Becomes Poison

At your kitchen table, this is not a policy debate. It is a poison warning.

A teenager in Clermont. A father in Wildwood. A sister in Apopka. Lost to a single pill pressed in a Mexican lab and sold by a cartel that treated our border like an open door—and can treat it that way again. In 2022, 5,622 Floridians died of fentanyl—poison shipped by the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels through loopholes created by Washington’s “catch-and-release” policies. The policies have changed. The vulnerability has not. The cartels are still there. The bureaucracy that opened the door is still there. And the next President can open the door again with the stroke of a pen.

While you worry about your children, the bureaucrats who created this crisis draw salaries, issue press releases, and write new memos explaining why they cannot do their one job: to protect you permanently—not just until the next election.

The Permanent Vulnerability

The fentanyl crisis devastating Florida is not an accident; it is a policy choice. On January 20, 2021, President Biden terminated border wall construction. On September 30, 2021, his Secretary of Homeland Security issued directives telling ICE not to enforce the law against most individuals here illegally. Unelected officials issued internal memos and “guidance” that effectively stood down border enforcement, prioritized processing over protection, and created the very loopholes cartels exploit.

President Trump has done more to secure the border than any president in modern history. But every action he has taken is an executive action—reversible on Day One by the next administration. In 2021, President Biden reversed Trump’s border policies with the stroke of a pen. The bureaucracy cheered. The cartels rejoiced. The poison flowed.

This is The Permanent Vulnerability: a system where one election can transform border security into border crisis—because the security rests on executive orders, not the law of the land.

For fifteen years, the Derelict Sentry stood watch in a Congress that surrendered its constitutional authority to the administrative state. He offered thoughts and prayers while the bureaucracy opened the gates. He watered the leaves with symbolic bills while the root of the problem grew stronger. He said he was “monitoring the situation.” For 15 years, he monitored the cartels’ profits and your family’s funeral bills. He held hearings. He wrote letters. He never changed the power structure that allowed the poison to flow. He was a sentry who saluted the invaders as they pass. Now the establishment offers his heir to continue the watch while the vulnerability remains.

They treat a deliberate policy failure as an act of God. I treat it as an act of betrayal against our families by the administrative state—and a confession of dereliction by the Congress that enabled it.

Make The Border Secure. Arm The Badge. Starve The Invasion.

The border crisis is not a failure of enforcement. It is a failure of structure. President Trump secured the border by executive action. President Biden opened it the same way. One election. One pen. One reversal.

The REINS Act makes border security permanent by requiring congressional approval for any major change to enforcement policy. No more bureaucratic memos opening the gates. No more executive orders reversing the wall. Every major policy change faces a public vote.

The FTO Designation makes cartel terrorism permanent by classifying the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations—not just criminal enterprises. This unlocks counter-terrorism tools: asset freezing, material support prosecutions, immigration bans, and the legal foundation for military authorization.

Executive action is temporary. Legislation is permanent. I will fight to make both the law of the land.

Your Battle Plan

Step 1: Gather Your Local Body Count. File a public records request with your county sheriff or medical examiner. Ask for the number of fentanyl-related deaths in your county last year. That number is your proof.

Step 2: Name a Lost Angel. Send me the name of one neighbor, one student, one parent from our district lost to this poison. I will add it to the Wall of Lost Angels we are building to force Washington to see the human cost.

The Verdict

They want to manage the flow of poison. I want to make the policies that stop it permanent.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this vulnerability: a border secured by executive order alone, communities still mourning the dead, and a government that can reopen the gates whenever it chooses.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to make our border security permanent—so that no President, no bureaucrat, no memo can ever open the gates again.

The Sentry abandoned his post. The citizen must never abandon hers.

The Two-Stage Trap

Here is the truth the establishment does not tell you: Your healthcare is not just expensive. It is rigged—by a two-stage trap that makes care unaffordable and then punishes you for not being able to afford it. And they can tighten the trap again tomorrow.

Stage One: The Rules That Bankrupt You. Federal bureaucrats at agencies like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services write tens of thousands of pages of rules that dictate insurance coverage, hospital pricing, and what treatments you can access. These rules are not passed by Congress. They are decrees from unelected officials. Between you and your doctor stand layers of administrative extraction—insurance bureaucrats, coding specialists, billing departments, pharmacy benefit managers—all profiting from the rules that make your care expensive and your outcomes worse. Every layer extracts. None heals. They create the rigged system that leads to surprise $10,000 bills for an ER visit, that makes a life-saving drug unaffordable, and that forces you to choose between your health and your mortgage.

Stage Two: The Star Chamber That Ruins You. When you cannot pay that bill, a second bureaucracy takes over. Debt collectors, credit reporting agencies, and federal financial regulators like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau operate under another set of administrative rules. They report your debt, slash your credit score, and can legally pursue you—all overseen by administrative law judges who work for the same system. You have no real court to plead your case. You are trapped in a financial star chamber where the government and its allied corporations are the prosecutor, judge, and jury.

For fifteen years, the Derelict Sentry watched this trap be built. He watched the rules multiply. He watched the star chambers expand. He voted for the REINS Act when it came to the floor—then did nothing to force the Senate to act. He has never used it to challenge a single Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule that is bankrupting District 11 families. He supports it symbolically. He will not fight for it substantively.

They water the leaves of the sick oak tree. I intend to strike the root.

Vote. Fuel. Fight. — Fifteen years of failure is enough. Vote Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table on August 18, 2026. Fuel the Strike → Fight to win!

Your Health Held Hostage

At your kitchen table, this is not abstract policy. It is a two-part disaster.

First, the bill arrives. It is for a medical service you were told was covered, or from an out-of-network doctor you never chose. The amount is catastrophic. You call your insurer and are told, “That is the rule.” The rule was written by a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services bureaucrat you have never heard of.

Then, the black mark appears. You cannot pay. The bill goes to collections. Your credit score—the foundation of your financial life—plummets. You try to fight it, but you are directed to a “dispute process” run by the credit bureau or a hearing with an administrative law judge. It is a rigged game. Now you cannot finance a car, your mortgage refinance is denied, and your financial future is stolen.

Picture a retired couple in The Villages on fixed income. They face a life-saving prescription priced at $1,200 per month because a federal formula set the reimbursement rate. When they cannot pay, the debt goes to collections. Their credit is destroyed. They cannot refinance their home. The same system that made the drug unaffordable now punishes them for not being able to afford it.

Picture a mother in Windermere. Her child is rushed to the ER for a suspected appendicitis. The hospital is in-network. The surgeon is not. The family is hit with a $10,000 bill they never agreed to—because a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services coding rule allowed it. They had no choice in the surgeon. They had no vote on the rule. They have no recourse but to pay or face the star chamber.

Today the rules made your care unaffordable. Tomorrow they can price you out of your home entirely—unless we strike the root and make accountability the law of the land.

Vote. Fuel. Fight. — Your health is not a profit center. Vote Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table on August 18, 2026. Fuel the Strike → Fight to win!

Demolish The Trap. Restore Your Court.

The healthcare crisis is not a market failure. It is a regulatory failure. Federal bureaucrats write rules that make your care unaffordable. Then a second set of bureaucrats punishes you for not being able to afford it. You cannot see the rule. You cannot verify the data. You cannot appeal to a real court.

The REINS Act forces any major healthcare regulation to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. No more rules written by unelected officials. No more surprise billing created by bureaucratic fiat. Every major rule that restricts your access to care or inflates your costs faces your elected representatives. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services can no longer decide what your family can afford without your consent.

The Administrative Independence Act restores your 7th Amendment right to a jury trial. When a debt collector or credit bureau tries to ruin you over medical debt, you get a real judge—not an administrative law judge who works for the same system that denied you care. The star chamber is abolished. Your day in court is restored.

Once the trap is demolished, the Patient Sovereignty Framework will ensure that every healthcare bill treats patients as sovereign decision-makers—not revenue sources for the middleman fortress.

The rules are temporary. Accountability is permanent. I will fight to make both Acts the law of the land.

Your Battle Plan

Step 1: Get Your Paper Trail. When you receive a massive, unexpected medical bill, do not just pay it. Call the provider and your insurer. Ask: “What specific federal regulation or coding rule determined this price or this denial?” Get the rule number. When a debt goes to collections or hits your credit report, save every piece of paper. Save the letters that direct you to the company’s “internal dispute process.” This is evidence of both halves of the trap.

Step 2: Name the Two-Stage Trap. Tell your story in two parts: First, the outrageous cost caused by a bureaucratic rule. Second, the financial ruin caused by the collections star chamber. Tell your neighbors. Warn others about the regulatory trap that made care unaffordable and the financial star chamber that punishes you for not being able to afford it. What is visible can be demolished.

Step 3: Share the Evidence. Send me your story. When I stand on the House floor to force the vote, I will hold your proof in my hand. I will say: “This bill was created by a rule no Congressman voted on. This financial ruin was enforced by a court no citizen can get a fair hearing in. The REINS Act stops the first. The Administrative Independence Act stops the second.”

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: care made unaffordable by rules you cannot see, financial ruin enforced by courts you cannot access, and no representative willing to pull the plug. They held hearings. They asked the bureaucrats to show their homework. They never struck the root.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to make healthcare accountable to the people—not to the algorithm, not to the star chamber—so that no bureaucrat, no rule, no administrative court can ever price you out of your health again.

When the Bureaucracy Is the Enemy

At the kitchen table, this isn’t a political talking point. It’s a veteran waiting 18 months for a disability claim while his family falls into debt. It’s the PTSD survivor who is given a pill bottle and a pat on the back instead of the real, long-term care he was promised. It’s the gut-wrenching sight of a man who wore our uniform in battle now sleeping on a street because the system he fought to protect has abandoned him.

You are asking the right question: “Why is the VA so broken? Why does a criminal in prison get better healthcare than the veteran who fought for our freedom? Why is it easier to fill out a form than it is to get the help my husband, my wife, my father earned with their blood?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to root out the administrative power that makes this betrayal possible.

The Administrative Fortress Against Veterans

There is no greater betrayal in public life than the abandonment of those who have served. For fifteen years, leadership has watched as the VA was turned into a monument to administrative malice—a bureaucratic fortress designed to deny care, not provide it. They have allowed a system to fester where internal regulations, paperwork, and procedure are more important than patients, and our veterans are treated as liabilities instead of the heroes they are.

The root cause is not a lack of funding or good intentions; it is a self-serving administrative state that has written its own rulebook to ensure its survival, not our veterans’ success. The VA’s bureaucracy is governed by tens of thousands of pages of internal regulations that create the claims process nightmare, the healthcare abyss, and the ultimate failure of homelessness and suicide. These rules are not passed by Congress; they are written by unelected bureaucrats to protect their jobs, empower their union, and make accountability impossible.

This is the VA Betrayal: a system where the administrative state acts as prosecutor, judge, and jury over the benefits our veterans earned with their blood. Leadership cosponsors bills for headlines and then stands by as their own bills to help veterans die in committee, never once attempting to reclaim the congressional power that could dismantle this bureaucratic fortress. Their hypocrisy is voting to fund foreign borders while abandoning the veterans here at home.

They cosponsors bills for headlines and then stands by as their own bills to help veterans die in committee, never once attempting to reclaim the congressional power that could dismantle this bureaucratic fortress.

They water the leaves. I intend to strike the root.

The Administrative Independence Act – Abolishing the VA’s Star Chamber

This is not about asking a bureaucrat to be nicer. This is about demolishing the administrative fortress they have built. The Administrative Independence Act strikes at the root of the VA crisis by abolishing the VA’s internal court system—the Board of Veterans’ Appeals and the maze of administrative law judges—and restoring every veteran’s right to a neutral, Article III trial.

The Legislative Strike:
The Administrative Independence Act ends the VA’s ability to be prosecutor, judge, and jury. It establishes that any veteran denied benefits or care can immediately remove their case to an Article III federal court, where a neutral judge and a jury of their fellow citizens—not a VA employee—will decide their fate.

When we pass this act:

  • The VA can no longer force a veteran to beg its own internal court for a fair hearing;
  • The threat of facing a real jury will force the VA to settle claims and deliver care in good faith, ending the culture of delay and denial;
  • The power of the people, not the bureaucracy, will finally protect those who protected us;
  • The root of administrative malice is severed, forcing the VA to answer to the Constitution and to the veterans it is meant to serve.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strike:

While I fight to pass the Administrative Independence Act in Washington, I need you to help me build the evidentiary case that the VA’s own star chamber system, not a lack of resources, is the enemy of our veterans.

One: Document the Injustice. If you are a veteran or a family member, when you are denied care or benefits by the VA’s Board of Veterans’ Appeals, don’t just accept the answer. Submit your denial letter to my office. We are building a public list of veterans who were failed by this rigged system.

Two: Organize a “Justice for Vets” Rally. Form a local group of veterans and family members. Go to the nearest federal courthouse. Read the names of veterans who have been denied by the VA’s administrative courts. Demand that your right to an Article III trial be restored. Show that veterans are fighting for the same constitutional rights every citizen is guaranteed.

Three: Serve the Forgotten. Go to a local homeless shelter and find the veterans who are there. Ask them if their benefits were denied by the VA’s internal appeals process. Their story of being failed by a star chamber is the most powerful evidence we have. Bring them to me.

Send me your stories and the denial letters you uncover. When I stand on the House floor to argue for the Administrative Independence Act, I won’t be citing budget reports. I will be holding up the denial letters from the VA’s Board of Veterans’ Appeals. I will be reading the names of the homeless veterans you found. I will look the Speaker in the eye and say, “This is the star chamber decision a Marine from my district was forced to accept. This is the administrative injustice a Navy corpsman from District 11 couldn’t overcome. Their wait is over. Our fight to restore their day in court begins now.”

THE VERDICT

The previous leadership offers oversight hearings that beg the VA to change its internal rules.

They want to manage the bureaucracy’s injustice. I want to dismantle the bureaucracy’s power to be its own judge.

They offer symbolic bills that die in committee. I offer the Administrative Independence Act—a constitutional tool to reclaim our veterans’ right to due process and a trial by jury.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: A VA that serves its own employees, not our veterans. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to reclaim real justice for our heroes.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that our veterans, not bureaucrats, get the justice they earned.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

Economic Security: Our People Free To Acquire Wealth!

When the Game Is Rigged Against You

At the kitchen table, this isn’t a debate over economic theory. It’s the citrus grower in Polk County who sees his crop rot on the vine while the USTR’s administrative court grants tariff waivers to foreign competitors. It’s the small manufacturer in Lake County who can’t compete with cheap imports because a politically connected corporation received a special exemption from a federal regulator. It’s the American worker who sees his job shipped overseas, not because of market forces, but because an administrative trade court decided his industry was not worth protecting.

You are asking the right question: “Why does it seem like the entire world is allowed to take advantage of America? Why is our government making it easier for foreign countries to sell their goods here than it is for us to make a living in our own country?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to root out the administrative judicial power that makes this globalist betrayal possible.

The Administrative Surrender of American Industry And Rigging of Global Trade

There is a collusion against the American worker, and its courtrooms are in Washington, D.C. The corrupt political class has constructed a system of “free trade” that is anything but free. They have surrendered our nation’s sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats and captured globalists who rig the rules in favor of foreign nations, multinational corporations, and political insiders, all while hammering the American farmer and the domestic producer.

The root cause is not trade itself, but the administrative star chambers that enforce it. The United States Trade Representative (USTR) and other agencies operate administrative trade courts that act as prosecutor, judge, and jury. These tribunals, run by politically appointed bureaucrats, are designed to bypass Congress, ignore the national interest, and punish the very industries our nation depends on. They grant waivers and exemptions to politically connected importers while using their unaccountable power to impose punitive regulations and tariffs on domestic growers and producers.

They has been a willing accomplice in this betrayal for decades. They have voted for trade agreements that surrender our sovereignty and then stood by as administrative bureaucrats used their unchecked power to rig the outcome. They offers hearings on trade deficits while the administrative courts that cause them continue to operate with impunity.

They water the leaves. I intend to strike the root.

The Administrative Independence Act – Restoring Fair Trade Through Real Courts

This is not about asking for “fairer” trade deals. This is about dismantling the rigged courts that enforce the unfair ones. The Administrative Independence Act strikes at the root of unfair globalism by abolishing the USTR’s administrative trade courts and requiring that all major trade disputes be resolved through neutral Article III federal courts or legislative arbitration.

The Legislative Strike:
The Administrative Independence Act ends the USTR’s ability to act as judge and jury over American commerce. It dismantles the administrative tribunals that grant secret waivers and impose biased rulings, restoring the constitutional right to a fair and impartial hearing. This puts the American worker, farmer, and producer on equal footing with multinational corporations and foreign interests.

When we pass this act:

  • The USTR can no longer use administrative courts to grant special waivers to politically connected importers;
  • A domestic industry harmed by a trade ruling can sue in a real Article III court, where a neutral judge—not a political appointee—will hear their case;
  • The threat of a real court with discovery and due process forces the administrative state to negotiate in good faith, knowing it can no longer hide behind its own captured tribunals;
  • The root of administrative trade rigging is severed, forcing trade to be negotiated and enforced by the people’s representatives and neutral courts, not by unaccountable globalists.

YOUR BATTLE PLAN: THREE STEPS TO STRIKE BACK

While I fight to pass the Administrative Independence Act in Washington, I need you to help me build the evidentiary case that administrative trade courts, not foreign competition, are the primary threat to our prosperity. The Constitution requires public laws, public courts, and public accountability. We will force it.

Join me in this endeavor—

One: Gather Your Evidence.
Do not accept a generic tariff letter or a silent USTR ruling. Submit a public records request to the USTR for the full administrative court ruling, the waiver details, and the names of the appointees who decided it. Find the document that your livelihood was sacrificed for. Keep the file, but do not leave it hidden on your hard drive.

Two: Personalize the Cost.
Take that document and write the story of what happened next. How did that ruling rot the citrus crop in Polk County? How did it shut down the small manufacturer in Lake County? How did it send a worker home instead of a paycheck? Transform the legal finding into a human cost: the lost retirement, the unpaid mortgage, the dead family business. The numbers matter, but the story breaks the system.

Three: Send Me the Proof.
Submit the ruling and your written testimony to my office. We are building a public list of the rigged decisions that are killing American jobs. When I stand on the House floor to argue for the Administrative Independence Act, I won’t be citing trade statistics. I will be holding up the administrative court rulings you sent me. I will be reading the names of the businesses that were harmed by the rigged system. Their fight for justice is over. Our fight to dismantle these star chambers begins now.

THE VERDICT

The previous leadership offers oversight hearings that beg the USTR to be fair. I will use the Administrative Independence Act to abolish the USTR’s power to be its own judge.

They wants to manage the rigged game. I want to dismantle the rigged court.

They offers symbolic bills that die in committee while trade deficits soar. I offer the Administrative Independence Act—a constitutional tool to reclaim our trade sovereignty and restore fair competition for the American worker.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: A nation gutted by unfair trade deals enforced by captured administrative courts. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to reclaim our economic sovereignty.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that American workers, not globalist bureaucrats, win the future.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

 

When Your Life Is Stolen by a Formula

At the kitchen table, this isn’t a transportation policy debate. It’s the lost hour you could have spent helping your kids with homework. It’s the missed dinner with your family because you were trapped on a highway that hasn’t been meaningfully improved in 20 years. It’s the constant stress and exhaustion that comes from knowing a huge portion of your day is wasted just getting to and from work. Prosperity means nothing when you can’t even enjoy it.

You are asking the right question: “Why are our roads a parking lot? Where are all the tax dollars we’re paying at the pump going, and why isn’t leadership fighting for our fair share?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to root out the administrative power that makes this theft possible.

The Administrative Rigging of Infrastructure

There is a thief in Washington, and it is stealing your life one hour at a time. For decades, the administrative state has built a complicated, rigged system to collect our federal gas tax dollars and ship them off to other states for their pet projects, leaving District 11’s critical infrastructure to crumble. This is not a failure of policy; it is a feature of a system designed to empower bureaucrats and punish taxpayers.

The root cause is not the gas tax itself, but the administrative formula used to distribute it. The allocation of highway funds is governed by thousands of pages of regulations written by the Department of Transportation. These complex formulas are designed in backrooms by unelected officials to prioritize “pork-barrel” projects and political favors over the critical needs of high-growth, high-tax-contributing districts like ours. The administrative state, not Congress, decides who wins and who loses.

Leadership has been a ghost in this process. Their solution? To introduce the dead-on-arrival “Gas Tax Repeal Act”—a gimmick that would eliminate the very fund meant to fix our roads. They either doesn’t understand that the problem is the administrative allocation, not the collection, or they are more interested in a talking point for mailers than in actually solving your traffic problem. While they play political games, they have failed to reclaim Congress’s power from the DOT, leaving our families stuck in gridlock.

He waters the leaves. I intend to strike the root.

The REINS Act – Reclaiming Control of America’s Infrastructure

This is not about asking for a fairer formula. This is about reclaiming the power to write it. The REINS Act (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) strikes at the root of the Time Tax by defining the federal highway funding allocation formula as a “major regulation” that must be submitted to Congress for an up-or-down vote before it can take effect.

The Legislative Strike:
The REINS Act ends the Department of Transportation’s ability to unilaterally rig the system against us. It forces the DOT to submit its complex funding formulas and allocation priorities to Congress for a full vote. This restores the power of the purse to the people’s representatives, making them directly accountable to you for the traffic on I-4 and US-27.

When we pass this act:

  • The DOT can no longer use a complex, backroom formula to divert Florida’s gas tax dollars to “pork-barrel” projects in other states without a vote from Congress;
  • Any change to highway funding priorities must be debated and passed in the open, not enacted by administrative decree;
  • The power to fix our roads returns to the legislative branch, where we can write a simple rule: Florida’s gas tax dollars fix Florida’s roads;
  • The root of the administrative theft is severed, forcing a return to common sense and local control.

YOUR BATTLE PLAN: THREE STEPS TO STRIKE BACK

Objective: Provide the reader with a clear, sequential, low-friction path to convert outrage into campaign-usable evidence.

Join me in this endeavor—

One: Gather Your Evidence. For one week, keep a simple log of how much time you waste in traffic every day. Calculate the total hours lost. Request all correspondence between the Florida Department of Transportation and the federal DOT regarding the regulatory guidance that disadvantages Florida. This is your proof that the system is rigged.

Two: Personalize the Cost. Transform your evidence into a story. Post your “Time Tax” total on social media. Share how the extra hour at work costs your family dinner time, how the delays stole your child’s recital, how the gridlock left you too exhausted to help with homework. This is your story that makes the theft real.

Three: Send Me the Proof. Submit your logs, your photos, and your stories to the campaign. We will cut through the blame game and find the truth. When I stand on the House floor to argue for the REINS Act, I won’t be citing statistics. I will be holding up a folder filled with your stories—your “Time Tax” logs, your photos from the Gridlock Rally, your damning public records.

THE VERDICT

The previous leadership offers a “Fair Share Act” that will die in committee because it leaves the administrative state in charge. I will use the REINS Act to force Congress to vote on the very formula that is stealing our time.

They want to negotiate with the bureaucracy. I want to dismantle its power to make the rules.

They offer a gimmick to repeal the gas tax. I offer the REINS Act—a constitutional tool to reclaim our gas tax dollars from the administrative thieves and put them back on our roads.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: A daily commute that steals your life, while they did nothing to reclaim congressional power. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to win back your time.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your time, not bureaucratic formulas, determines your day.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

When Your Dream Is Crushed by Paperwork

At the kitchen table, this isn’t an economic debate. It’s the farmer in Polk County who is one inspection away from losing the land his family has worked for generations. It’s the couple in Lake County who sunk their life savings into a restaurant, only to be crushed by federal labor mandates and compliance costs they never saw coming. It’s the death of the American Dream, not with a bang, but with a thousand paper cuts.

You are asking the right question: “Why is it so hard to start or even keep a small business alive? Why does the government make it easier for a giant corporation to succeed than for me to provide for my family?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to root out the administrative power that makes this economic annihilation possible.

The Administrative Annihilation of Main Street

The political class in Washington and Tallahassee is waging a campaign of economic annihilation against the backbone of America—our small businesses and our farms. This is not an accident of the free market; it is a deliberate campaign waged by the administrative state. Federal agencies, from the EPA to the Department of Labor, have written tens of thousands of pages of regulations designed to bury our entrepreneurs and family farmers under a mountain of red tape. This system of punitive rules and a complex tax code was built to benefit massive corporations that can afford an army of lobbyists and lawyers, while suffocating the dreams of our neighbors.

The root cause is not competition; it is a regulatory regime engineered by unelected bureaucrats to pick winners and losers. Leadership has been a silent partner in this assault, allowing the bureaucratic leviathan to grow unchecked, doing nothing to reclaim Congress’s power to stop it. They have watched as the administrative state has become the primary tool for crushing small business in America.

They water the leaves. I intend to strike the root.

The REINS Act – Unleashing Main Street from Bureaucratic Tyranny

This is not about asking for a “Small Business Liberation Act” that leaves the rule-makers in place. This is about dismantling their power to make the rules in the first place. The REINS Act (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) strikes at the root of the War on Main Street by defining any major federal regulation that imposes a significant cost on small businesses and farms as a “major regulation” that must be submitted to Congress for an up-or-down vote.

The Legislative Strike:
The REINS Act ends the administrative state’s ability to unilaterally choke our small businesses. It forces the EPA, the Department of Labor, and every other federal agency to submit their costly, burdensome regulations to Congress for a full vote. This restores the power to the people’s representatives, making them directly accountable to you for the viability of your local businesses and farms.

When we pass this act:

  • Federal agencies can no longer issue sweeping new labor or environmental rules that cripple small businesses without a vote from Congress;
  • Any regulation that gives a competitive advantage to large corporations over small family farms must be debated and passed in the open;
  • The power to create and enforce rules that destroy Main Street returns to the people’s elected representatives, not to unelected bureaucrats;
  • The root of the administrative assault is severed, unleashing the full power of our local economy.

YOUR BATTLE PLAN: THREE STEPS TO STRIKE BACK

Join me in this endeavor—

Gather Your Evidence. Compile a “Red Tape Receipt” by itemizing every federal permit, filing fee, and form required to operate your business or farm. Collect the actual paperwork, digital confirmations, or agency correspondence that mandates these costs. This is your concrete proof of the administrative burden.

Personalize the Cost. Translate that data into a personal statement on how these mandates impact your family and livelihood. Explain specifically how many hours are diverted from your business or family time, and what specific expenses could have been invested elsewhere if not for these federal fees. This transforms cold data into human impact.

Send Me the Proof. Submit your completed “Red Tape Receipt” and your personal impact statement directly to our campaign evidence repository. These documents will be aggregated to build the definitive record of regulatory overreach I will use to argue for the REINS Act. Your contribution becomes the ammunition for legislative action.

THE VERDICT

Previous leadership offers an “American Small Business and Farmer Liberation Act” that leaves the bureaucratic tyrants in power. I will use the REINS Act to reclaim the power to make those rules.

They want to manage the regulatory burden. I want to dismantle the administrative state that creates it.

They offer symbolic relief while leaving the machine intact. I offer the REINS Act—a constitutional tool to reclaim our freedom to work, to build, and to prosper without asking for permission from a bureaucrat.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: A Main Street choked by red tape, a landscape of family farms under siege, and a dream deferred by bureaucratic decree. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to set our entrepreneurs and farmers free.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your hard work, not federal regulations, determines your success.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

When Your Future Is Held Hostage by Red Tape

At your kitchen table, this is not a debate over zoning codes. It is the monthly calculation: pay the rent, or buy the groceries. The arithmetic of despair is brutal. In Florida, 576,381 renter households are “extremely low income.” For every 100 of these families, only 26 have a feasible place to live. In the Orlando metro, it plummets to 13. Eighty-two percent are severely cost-burdened, spending more than half their income just to keep a roof overhead.

Picture a nurse who grew up in Clermont. She wants to raise her children near her parents, near her church, near the only home she has ever known. She cannot afford to buy a home where she works—so she moves to an apartment in Orlando, an hour away from everything that anchors her family. The homes she could afford do not exist because compliance costs priced them out of her reach before she ever walked through the door. The regulatory siege did not just make her home unaffordable. It drove her out of her community.

Picture a firefighter in Winter Garden. He wants to buy a modest fixer-upper to put down roots. The purchase price is within reach—but the $20,000 in “compliance” fees required by federal and state regulations is not. His dream of homeownership is crushed not by the market, but by the rulebook.

Today the rules made your home unaffordable. Tomorrow they can price you out of your community entirely—unless we strike the root and make accountability the law of the land.

The Regulatory Siege On The American Home

Here is the truth the establishment does not tell you: The housing crisis is not just expensive. It is engineered—by a regulatory siege that makes homeownership unaffordable and then offers subsidies to manage the poverty it created. And they can tighten the siege again tomorrow.

Federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development have seized the powers of a national zoning board. An EPA “Waters of the United States” rule has claimed dry ditches and isolated wetlands as federal jurisdiction, forbidding you from building. The Supreme Court narrowed this power in 2023—but the agency writes the rules defining what “narrowed” means. The definition changes with each administration. Your property rights should not depend on who sits in the White House.

A HUD rule can withhold federal funds from your town unless it overrides local voters on zoning. They call it “voluntary”—but when your community depends on those funds for essential services, the choice to decline is no choice at all. They do not directly rezone your neighborhood. They just make you an offer you cannot refuse.

Meanwhile, the Federal Housing Finance Agency dictates who is “creditworthy.” It sets the rules for mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If they decide a 20% down payment is the standard, that is now the law for most home loans. They do not just guide the market. They are the credit committee.

This is how scarcity is engineered: each page of their rulebook adds a cost, a delay, or a prohibition. They do not just regulate the market. They are the market, dictating what you can build, where you can live, and what you must pay.

For fifteen years, the Derelict Sentry watched this siege be built. He watched the rules multiply. He watched the scarcity expand. He voted for the REINS Act when it came to the floor—then did nothing to force the Senate to act. He has never used it to challenge a single rule that is bankrupting District 11 families. He supports it symbolically. He will not fight for it substantively. His retirement does not retire the failure. The system he protected remains.

They water the leaves of the sick oak tree. I intend to strike the root.

Unlock The Market.  Restore Your Rights.

The housing crisis is not a market failure. It is a regulatory failure. Federal bureaucrats write rules that make your home unaffordable. Then a second set of bureaucrats offers you a subsidy to manage the poverty they engineered. You cannot see the rule. You cannot verify the data. You cannot appeal to a real court.

The REINS Act forces any major housing regulation to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. No more rules written by unelected officials. No more scarcity created by bureaucratic fiat. Every major rule that restricts your ability to build, buy, or finance a home faces your elected representatives. The Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency can no longer decide what your family can afford without your consent.

The REINS Act, as currently written, stops future rules. The existing siege must also be demolished. A look-back provision will extend the same principle to every major regulation already on the books: congressional consent, or sunset. No new commission. No new bureaucracy. The Constitution already provides the tools—discharge petitions to force the vote, appropriations riders to defund the enforcement, points of order to challenge the authority. What Congress lacks is not the power. It is the will. I intend to provide it—and to call upon you to demand it. The architecture of scarcity was built over decades. The demolition will require the same patience and precision. But it begins with a simple demand: If a rule is important enough to govern your life, it is important enough to be voted on by the people you elected.

The Administrative Independence Act restores your 7th Amendment right to a jury trial. When a federal agency denies your permit, seizes your property rights, or destroys your credit, you get a real judge—not an administrative law judge who works for the same system that denied you. The star chamber is abolished. Your day in court is restored.

The rules are temporary. Accountability is permanent. I will fight to make both Acts the law of the land.

Your Battle Plan

One: See It. When a compliance fee adds $20,000 to your home purchase, save the notice. When a permit is denied for a wetland that is not wet, save the letter. When your property tax jumps because regulators reclassified your land, note the cause. Start by seeing the siege.

Two: Share It. Tell your neighbors what you have experienced. Post your compliance costs publicly. Warn other families about the zoning restrictions that block affordable homes. Name the siege.

Three: Defend It. Permanent vigilance is not a single act—it is a practice. Evaluate every candidate and every policy against the standard: Does this treat the homeowner as a free decision-maker—or a source of revenue for bureaucrats who created the problem? Send your documentation to my campaign—so that when I am in office, I can hold up your EPA letters and your permit denials and your compliance fee notices on the floor of the House. But do not stop there. Keep watching. Keep naming. Keep defending—until the siege is demolished and your property is restored.

Vote. Fuel. Fight. — Your voice is the evidence. Vote Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table on August 18, 2026. Fuel the Strike → Fight to win!

The Verdict

They want to manage the scarcity. I want to demolish the siege.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: homes made unaffordable by rules you cannot see, dreams crushed by compliance fees you cannot pay, and no representative willing to pull the plug. They held hearings. They asked the bureaucrats to show their homework. They never struck the root.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to make housing accountable to the people—not to the national zoning board, not to the credit committee—so that no bureaucrat, no rule, no administrative court can ever price you out of your home again.

The Sentry abandoned his post. The citizen must never abandon hers.

I am Ivette Palomo. I am the citizen standing to restore your republic in the United States Congress for Florida’s 11th District—so that your home, not a bureaucrat’s rule, secures your future.

Environmental Security: Our People Free To Flourish And To Inherit!

The Thirst and the Tremble

At the kitchen table, this isn’t an environmental debate. It’s the sinking feeling when a letter from the EPA arrives, claiming your pasture is now a “Water of the United States” (WOTUS). It’s the terror of seeing a lifetime of work on your family farm threatened by a fine you can only challenge in the agency’s own kangaroo court. It’s the despair of a fifth-generation rancher watching his land value evaporate because a permit to access water was denied by a distant bureaucrat with no accountability to you.

It’s the smell of smoke in the air from a fire you can see burning on the horizon, knowing the agencies that locked up the water that could have prevented it are immune from lawsuit. It’s the hopelessness of having your land taken and your only recourse being to plead with the very people who took it.

All while career politicians are in Washington, securing their pensions and ignoring the theft that is cracking the foundation of our liberty.

You’re asking the right question: “Why can a bureaucrat take my land and I can’t even get a real judge to hear my case? Why is the water beneath my feet controlled by people I didn’t elect and can’t sue?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to root out the administrative judicial power that makes this theft possible.

The Administrative Star Chamber That Seizes Your Land

The political class in Washington and Tallahassee has a playbook for crises they can see. When green slime chokes our coasts, they hold press conferences. When red tide washes ashore, they form committees. But what about the crisis you can’t see? The one happening silently, right now, on the land you own?

Career politicians are masters of this playbook. They are experts at fighting the last war while ignoring the one that will truly destroy us. While they offers empty promises for the algae on the surface, they allow the foundation of our property rights to be stolen by an Administrative Star Chamber.

What is a Star Chamber? In 17th century England, it was a secret court where the king’s ministers acted as prosecutor, judge, and jury. There was no right to a defense, no jury of your peers, and no appeal. Today, that same system exists within our federal agencies. When the EPA declares your land a “wetland,” or FEMA doubles your flood insurance, or a financial regulator fines your small business, your only appeal is often to another employee of the same agency. This is the modern Star Chamber: a captive court where the government is always the judge.

Leadership has fifteen years of experience watching this happen. It’s the experience of watching a farmer’s field be confiscated by an EPA bureaucrat with the stroke of a pen, with the farmer’s only appeal being to another bureaucrat at the same agency. It’s the experience of seeing a family business bankrupted by fines levied in an administrative hearing where the agency holds all the power. It’s the experience of watching our aquifer—the lifeblood of Florida—bled dry by permits issued by captured agencies, with no real court you can sue in to stop it

And now, the bill has come due. Look outside. Across Central Florida, the land is parched. Our lakes are at record lows, and the drought we were warned about is here. As I speak, wildfires are scorching what’s left of our dry countryside, forcing evacuations and filling our skies with smoke. This isn’t a future problem; it is our burning present. Leadership’s decades of inaction have left Florida defenseless, unable to protect its own people from the fire he helped create by letting agencies seize control of our water and land without a fair fight.

Their “experience” is knowing how to preside over a slow-motion theft and call it “environmental stewardship.” They are not representatives; they are the gatekeeper for the bureaucratic interests that are treating your private property like their public domain.

They water the leaves. I intend to strike the root.

The Administrative Independence Act – Restoring Your Day in Court

This is not about asking the EPA to be nicer. This is about demolishing their power to be your judge. The Administrative Independence Act strikes at the root of the property rights crisis by abolishing the administrative courts within agencies like the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers and restoring every citizen’s right to have their case heard in a neutral, Article III federal court with a jury of their peers.

The Legislative Strike:
The Administrative Independence Act ends the administrative state’s ability to be prosecutor, judge, and jury. It establishes that any dispute over a WOTUS designation, a wetland fine, a water permit denial, or an environmental compliance order can be removed to an Article III court. This guarantees the Seventh Amendment right to a trial by jury and the Fifth Amendment guarantee of due process.

When we pass this act:

  • The EPA can no longer fine you and force you to appeal to its own administrative law judges;
  • A landowner who is told his property is now federal wetlands can sue the EPA in a real court, where a neutral judge and a jury of his fellow citizens will hear the evidence;
  • The threat of a real jury trial forces agencies to act in good faith and on solid science, knowing they can no longer hide behind their own captured tribunals;
  • The root of bureaucratic tyranny is severed, forcing environmental policy to answer to the Constitution and to the people it is meant to serve.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strike:

While I fight to pass the Administrative Independence Act in Washington, I need you to help me build the evidentiary case that administrative star chambers, not environmental protection, are the true enemy of our property rights.

One: Document the “Seizure Letter.” If you have received a notice from the EPA, Army Corps, or any state agency acting under federal authority claiming jurisdiction over your land or water, send it to my office. Highlight the section that describes your “appeals process” – it will almost always point you back to the agency itself. We are building a file of evidence that proves you have no real court to go to.

Two: Map the “Vanishing Flow.” Go to your favorite spring or lake. Take a picture of the current water level. Find a photo from 10 or 20 years ago and compare them. Send me the before-and-after. Connect it to a specific water permit or regulation that you believe led to the decline. We will show that the environmental damage is happening under the current system of bureaucratic control.

Three: Share Your Story. Post a short video on social media explaining how an agency action has threatened your property or livelihood. Tag me, Daniel Webster, and local news with the hashtag #MyDayInCourt. Explain that you are not against conservation; you are against confiscation without a jury trial.

Send me your evidence. When I stand on the House floor to argue for the Administrative Independence Act, I will not be citing statistics. I will be holding up your “Seizure Letters.” I will be showing your “Vanishing Flow” photos. I will look the Speaker in the eye and say, “These are my constituents. Their property is being taken by agencies acting as their own judges. The Administrative Independence Act will give them their day in a real court, before a real jury. That is how we secure our water, our land, and our future.”

THE VERDICT

Career politicians offer oversight hearings that beg the EPA to be reasonable. I will use the Administrative Independence Act to abolish the EPA’s power to be its own judge.

They want to manage the bureaucracy’s seizures. I want to dismantle the bureaucracy’s court.

They offer symbolic bills that die in committee while your land is taken. I offer the Administrative Independence Act—a constitutional tool to reclaim your right to due process and a trial by jury.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: A state where your property can be taken by an agency’s decree and your only appeal is to the agency itself. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to reclaim your day in court.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your property is protected by the Constitution, not by a bureaucrat’s star chamber.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

The Weight of a Heritage and The Last Harvest

At the kitchen table, this isn’t a political debate. It’s a family looking at the land their great-grandfather cleared and wondering if they’re the last generation. It’s a farmer walking through a dying grove, feeling the weight of a heritage on his shoulders. It’s the quiet desperation that comes when the government you pay taxes to seems to care more about a foreign trade deal than your family’s future.

You’re asking the right questions: “Why am I competing against foreign countries that don’t play by the same rules? Why does it take ten years for a promising new treatment to get approved by Washington?”

I am not just asking those questions. I am building the case to dismantle the systems that are strangling our industry.

The Betrayal of Florida Citrus: The Foreign Cartel and the Bureaucratic Noose

Citrus greening has ravaged our groves for decades, but the collapse of Florida’s signature crop is a man-made betrayal, not a natural disaster. It’s a man-made betrayal, enforced by two forces: a foreign cartel that floods our market with cheap, dumped fruit, and a Washington bureaucracy that wraps our farmers in red tape while their groves die.

Choice politicians want to talk about their “record.” Let’s talk about it. They boasts about supporting the Farm Bill, a 1,000-page document where they hide as a co-sponsors, letting our emergency funding get diluted and sent to projects across the country. They co-sponsored broad trade deals that opened the floodgates to foreign citrus, undercutting the very farmers he claims to represent. Their record isn’t one of leadership; it’s one of legislative malpractice. They have been passengers in Washington while Florida’s farmers were thrown under the bus.

Their “experience” is knowing how to water the leaves. They offer small grant programs while the root of the problem—unfair trade and strangling regulation—is left untouched. They support “research” while the bureaucrats at USDA block the fast-tracking of new, effective treatments.

They water the leaves. I intend to strike the root.

The One-Two Punch – Slash the Red Tape, Stop the Dumping

This is not about more subsidies. It is about removing the government-created barriers that are killing our citrus.

The First Strike: The REINS Act.
We smash the bureaucratic stranglehold. The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act forces major USDA and EPA regulations—those that delay new pesticides, treatments, and agricultural technologies—to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. This cuts the red tape that keeps lifesaving tools out of our groves.

The Second Strike: Agricultural Trade Freedom.

  • The Problem: Your market is flooded with dumped agricultural products undercutting your harvest.
  • The Solution: Enforce existing trade laws and secure the border against dumped goods that threaten domestic production.
  • The Strike: Protect our farmers. Secure our market.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strikes

Join me in this endeavor—

One: Gather Your Evidence.
Document the specific moment the bureaucracy blocked you or the moment the market was flooded against you. Collect your permit denial letters, the EPA delay emails, or the dated photos of imported citrus showing their price tags and country of origin. We need official proof of the red tape and the dumping. Do not let this evidence sit in a drawer. Collect it now.

Two: Personalize the Cost.
Transform that paperwork into a human story. Write down what the land means to your family. How many generations cleared this soil? What financial risk have you already absorbed? Explain what happens to your children if the groves die. This is not just about crop loss; it is about the erasure of a legacy. That story is the weapon we will use in the public square.

Three: Send Me the Proof.
Submit your evidence and your story directly to the campaign. We are building a dossier that cannot be ignored. Do not send this to the newspapers or wait for them to notice. Send it here. We will organize this material to force the hand of Congress. When I stand on the House floor, I need these documents in my hands so I can show the world exactly what Florida’s farmers are facing.

THE VERDICT

The previous leadership offers watered-down Farm Bills and trade deals that sell us out. I will pass the REINS Act to break the regulatory stranglehold and the Agricultural Trade Freedom agenda to stop the foreign dumping.

They manage the decline of our industry. I intend to revive it by striking at the root of its problems.

They offer condolences and committees. I offer a declaration of economic war on the bureaucrats and cartels killing our heritage.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought us to this crisis: dying groves and a flooded market. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to rebuild our industries.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that our farmers can compete on a level field, freed from red tape and protected from unfair trade.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

The Panic At The Checkout Line

This is the panic when the total is $200 for a week of groceries that used to cost $120. It is the hostage situation of being told to eat real food by the same government that regulates it out of your reach. It is the theft of a legacy when a family farm is forced onto the market because the bureaucratic wall made it impossible to keep.

The Beville family on CR 476 chose to develop 257 acres of their agricultural land into 84 house lots and a commercial pad. They are not villains. They made a rational economic decision—because the system makes farming less profitable than subdivision. The monopoly wall made fertilizer expensive. The regulatory wall made the land easier to pave than to keep productive. The war on regenerative agriculture blocked the alternative that might have made farming pay. When farming does not pay enough to keep the land, development does. That is not a market outcome. That is a policy outcome—and the wall produced it.

The Sumter County cattle rancher faces fertilizer costs that just spiked because Mosaic cut production by 50% to boost its profit margin—and there is no alternative because Washington imposed tariffs blocking cheaper imports. The monopoly wall made the chemical inputs unaffordable. The regulatory wall made the land easier to pave than to keep productive. When the rancher cannot absorb the cost, the land becomes another subdivision. The wall produced the harm.

The regenerative farming mother—a single, homeschooling mother with an integrated whole system of goats, cattle, chickens, and sugar cane for kombucha—is denied an FSA loan because the system does not understand farming that bypasses chemical fertilizers. The other walls restrict and burden. This wall prevents the solution. The government does not just make independent farming difficult. It makes independent farming impossible—by denying capital to any operation that would make the monopoly irrelevant. The wall does not just produce the harm. It blocks the alternative that would end it.

The retired couple in The Villages sees ground beef at $8 a pound and wonders how they are supposed to follow the dietary guidelines they cannot afford. They are not experiencing one wall. They are experiencing all three—at the checkout line, in every grocery aisle, at every meal. The regulatory wall drove up production costs. The monopoly wall drove up fertilizer costs. The war on regenerative agriculture blocked the alternative that would bring costs down. Inflation is not an accident. It is the price of the wall.

They tell you to eat real food while making it impossible to afford. They subsidize the monopoly while blocking the alternative. They water the leaves. The root rots.

The Wall At Our Kitchen Table

Washington was charged with promoting the general Welfare. Instead, it built a wall around affordable food and rural Florida—a wall of regulatory suffocation, inflation, and corporate favoritism designed to isolate rural communities and fixed-income families.

You feel this wall at your local market. Food costs are roughly 20-25% higher than pre-pandemic levels. Beef that used to be $4 a pound is now $8.

You see this wall in subdivisions where pastures stood. Every time a family farm is forced to sell, that land becomes another high-density development.

You taste this wall in food that travels 2,000 miles instead of 20.

The wall was built brick by brick:

The Regulatory Wall. EPA land-use and water restrictions make it easier to pave a pasture than to keep it productive.

The Monopoly Wall. A Mosaic-Nutrien duopoly controls over 90% of North American phosphate production. When Mosaic cut production by 50% to drive prices higher, nothing stopped them—because Washington had already imposed tariffs of 16% to 47% on cheaper imports. And 25% of the sulfuric acid used in fertilizer production comes through the Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint 7,000 miles away that we do not control. Washington did not just fail to break the monopoly. Washington enforced it—and made your food security dependent on a foreign waterway.

The War on Regenerative Agriculture. The federal loan structure, subsidy system, and risk assessment models favor chemical-dependent agriculture and disfavor regenerative methods that bypass fertilizers entirely. The government subsidizes the monopoly and blocks the alternative that would make the monopoly irrelevant. The other walls restrict and burden. This wall prevents the solution. The government does not just make independent farming difficult. It makes independent farming impossible—by denying capital to any operation that would make the monopoly irrelevant.

For 15 years, your representative has been the Derelict Sentry of this wall. His method is not to dismantle it, but to help you survive behind it. He wrote a letter celebrating a Critical Minerals designation—then said nothing while Washington enforced Mosaic’s tariff request. Three bills for space. Zero for farms. They water the leaves. I strike the root.

Tearing Down The Wall

STRIKE: Dismantle the regulatory wall, the monopoly stranglehold, and the war on regenerative agriculture that make local farming unviable and local food unaffordable.

SECURE: Return food sovereignty to Florida families—affordable groceries, protected farmland, due process, and liberation from chemical dependency.

Strike One: The REINS Act—End the Siege

The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act forces major federal regulations to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. Your vote, not their veto.

A look-back provision extends the same principle to every major regulation already on the books: congressional consent, or sunset. If a rule is important enough to govern your life, it is important enough to be voted on by the people you elected. The wall was built over decades. The demolition begins here.

The REINS Act secures affordable food four ways: stopping costly environmental overreach that drives up production costs, lowering supply chain costs by pausing expensive equipment mandates, preserving rural energy independence by giving Florida representatives a direct veto over restrictions on diesel and natural gas, and keeping land and labor flexible by preventing agencies from imposing heavy compliance costs on temporary agricultural worker programs.

No more EPA bureaucrats deciding your land is a “wetland” without your representative having a say. No more agency-driven rules that drive up production costs and grocery prices without your consent.

The REINS Act strikes the root—agencies can no longer write rules that carry the force of law without your vote.

Strike Two: The Administrative Independence Act—Restore Your Rights

When the FSA denies your loan, you face a government employee reviewing their own agency’s decision. No jury. No independent judge. No appeal to anyone who answers to you. This is not due process. This is a star chamber—and it is driving farmers off their land.

The Administrative Independence Act abolishes the administrative law judge system within the USDA and any federal agency that makes decisions about your land. When the government denies your loan, restricts your water, or reclassifies your property, you face a jury of your peers—not a bureaucrat protecting the bureaucracy that employs them.

When farmers can fight back, they stay in business. When they stay in business, you get local food at local prices. When they cannot fight back, they sell to developers—and you get another subdivision where a pasture used to be.

The Administrative Independence Act restores your rights—your case will be heard by an independent court, not the agency that accused you.

The Regenerative Liberation Framework—Unleash the Heartland

The strikes remove the obstacles. The Framework builds the alternative.

Regenerative agriculture does not depend on the Strait of Hormuz. It does not depend on Mosaic’s production decisions. It depends on the soil beneath our feet. That is true food independence.

Liberate the Land provides four principles for evaluating and guiding all food sovereignty legislation:

Recognize Regenerative Collateral. Require the FSA to develop collateral models that account for the reduced input costs, improved soil health, and long-term resilience of regenerative operations—not just chemical-dependent yield projections.

Fund the Transition. Establish dedicated loan terms for farmers transitioning from chemical to regenerative methods, with terms that reflect the transition period rather than punishing it.

End the Monopoly Bias. Prohibit the FSA from denying loans based solely on the absence of chemical input dependencies. If a farmer can demonstrate a viable regenerative plan—especially a whole integrated system of crops, livestock, and value-added production—the government cannot favor a conventional operation simply because it fits the existing collateral models.

Prioritize Local Food Security. Give preference in loan approval to operations that sell directly to local consumers—because these operations reduce our dependence on the 2,000-mile supply chain and the corporate monopoly that controls it.

When we fund regenerative agriculture, we make Mosaic irrelevant. We secure true food independence—rooted in the soil, not in a corporate boardroom or a foreign chokepoint.

The Three Moves, One Duty

Legislative power reclaimed. Judicial power restored. Economic liberty unleashed. Three moves. One constitutional duty: promote the general Welfare.

This completes President Trump’s agenda by making it permanent—secured by your vote, not their veto; by your rights, not their star chambers; by liberation, not aid.

They water the leaves with programs. We strike the root with structural reform.

Your Battle Plan

The Litmus Test: Does this candidate, this bill, this policy promote the general Welfare—or surrender it to monopolies and regulators? Hold every candidate and every policy to this standard.

Step One: See It. When a compliance demand lands on your kitchen table, save it. When fertilizer prices spike because Mosaic cut production, note the cause. When a farm chooses to develop because farming does not pay, remember the system that made the choice rational. Start by seeing the wall.

Step Two: Share It. Tell your neighbors what you have experienced. Post your compliance costs publicly. Warn other farmers about the loan structure that blocks regenerative methods. Call out the wall.

Step Three: Defend It. This is where vigilance becomes action.

Evaluate every candidate and every policy against the litmus test. When you see the wall at work—in a zoning hearing, in a fertilizer price spike, in a loan denial—show up. Speak. File the comment. Bring your neighbors. The wall survives when good people stay silent. The wall falls when the room is full and the record is stacked.

Defend It—Right Now.

On Tuesday, June 23, at 6:00 PM, the Sumter County Commission votes at the Gloria Rowe Hayward Sumter County Service Center, 215 Gloria Rowe Hayward Way, Sumterville, on a rezoning that would turn 257 acres of working farmland at CR 476 and CR 476B into 84 house lots and a commercial pad. The county’s own staff says it serves a personal need, not a community need.

This is a local decision with a federal cause. The wall made farming unprofitable. When farming does not pay, the land goes to developers. The Beville family made a rational choice because the system made farming less profitable than subdivision. That is the wall at work—reaching from Washington to your county commission chamber.

Show up. File a comment at pz@sumtercountyfl.gov. Tell your neighbors. If the vote has passed by the time you read this, the fight continues. The wall stands until we tear it down. Every rezoning. Every hearing. Every vote. This is what defending looks like—before the wall is built, not after.

See the wall. Expose the wall. Tear it down.

The Verdict

Washington was charged with promoting the general Welfare. Instead, it built a regulatory wall that makes local farming unviable, enforced a monopoly that makes your food expensive, and waged a war on regenerative agriculture that makes independence impossible.

The wall stands. But walls fall.

I am Ivette Palomo. I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your kitchen table is secured by the Constitution, not surrendered to monopolies and regulators.

One constitutional restoration. One liberation. One duty fulfilled.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

Political Security: Our People Free To Govern Through Just Representation!

Justice Seized

When agencies write laws, enforce laws, and judge laws, the government has placed itself above the law. You are no longer a citizen with rights. You are a subject to be managed.

This isn’t abstract.

It’s the farmer who wakes to an EPA letter declaring his drainage ditch a “navigable water” — and a $50,000-per-day fine for farming his own land. No vote. No statute. No recourse — except an administrative court run by the agency that fined him.

It’s the homeowner whose flood insurance doubles overnight because an algorithm she cannot see, challenge, or appeal has decided her property is “riskier” — and the agency that wrote the algorithm answers to no one.

It’s the veteran who served his country, then waits 90 days for a doctor’s appointment while the VA bureaucracy protects itself instead of the men who bled for this nation.

It’s the senior on Medicare, navigating a trip-up system designed to deny her claims, knowing that the agency that created the system also judges her appeals.

It’s the small business owner drowning in compliance costs — not because Congress passed a law, but because an administrator wrote a rule, enforced the rule, and will judge whether she broke the rule.

Why can an agency fine me $50,000 a day for farming my own land? How can an algorithm I can’t see double my insurance overnight? Why does the VA protect itself instead of the veterans it was built to serve? Since when am I subject to rules my representative never voted on?

I am not just asking these questions. I am building the case to dismantle the system that makes them necessary — because I have been subject to that system, and I will fight until that system is dismantled.

The Fourth Branch of Betrayal

First Duty

The Preamble charges the federal government with two purposes and four duties. To form a more perfect Union is to strike the root — to dismantle what is broken, to correct what has seized. To secure the Blessings of Liberty is to secure the table — to preserve what is precious, to defend what sustains. The four duties — establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare — are the means of moving from one purpose to the other. These duties are ordered by design. Justice is the foundation. Without justice, nothing else holds. The first duty is Justice. The first dereliction is its seizure.

The Three Seizures

The duty to establish Justice requires that laws be written by elected representatives, not unelected bureaucrats. That property be protected by statute, not seized by regulation. That citizens be judged by impartial courts, not administrative tribunals staffed by the agencies prosecuting them. When agencies write rules that carry the force of law, they have seized legislative power. When they enforce those rules without congressional authorization, they have seized executive power. When they adjudicate violations in their own courts, they have seized judicial power.

A Fourth Branch of government has risen — not by amendment, not by vote, but by seizure. It writes laws without your consent. It enforces them without your vote. It judges you in its own courts. It answers to no one. And for 15 years, your representation has funded it, empowered it, and looked the other way while it consumed the constitutional order.

A Witness

I know this seizure not as theory, but as experience. When I became a whistleblower against corruption in state government, I encountered a system where agencies wrote their own rules, enforced them without oversight, and judged violations in their own proceedings. The Inspector General redirected me back to the agency I was complaining about. The rules I was subject to were never voted on. The accountability shield that protected the corrupt was built into the system itself. I have lived the legislative seizure, the enforcement without representation, the accountability shield — and I know the federal government runs the same play at a higher level.

The Betrayal

The result is a government that writes laws without your consent, enforces them without your vote, and judges you in its own courts — a Fourth Branch that answers to no one. This is not regulatory overreach. This is not red tape. This is the seizure of all three constitutional powers by an unelected, unaccountable, irreversible Fourth Branch. And it is a betrayal of the duty to establish Justice.

One Constitutional Restoration

The Committed Strike

The REINS Act — Restoring Article I (the Legislative Branch). The REINS Act requires that every major regulation come before Congress for an up-or-down vote before it can take effect. No more rules written by bureaucrats who never face the voters. No more laws imposed by agencies without your consent. No more criminal penalties, civil fines, or property seizures authorized by administrators instead of representatives.

What the REINS Act dismantles:

The legislative seizure. Agencies can no longer write rules that carry the force of law without congressional authorization. If it’s important enough to fine you, it’s important enough to vote on.

The enforcement without representation. Agencies can no longer enforce rules that Congress has not approved. No more $50,000-per-day fines for violating a regulation no one elected to pass.

The accountability shield. When Congress must vote on every major regulation, your representative can no longer hide behind the agency. They voted for it — or they didn’t. You will know.

What the REINS Act does not do:

It does not eliminate regulation. It restores the constitutional order — laws written by legislators, enforced by the executive, judged by impartial courts.

It does not give Congress new power. It forces Congress to exercise the power it already has — but has surrendered to the agencies.

It does not create new bureaucracy. It dismantles the existing one by requiring that every major rule survive a vote of the people’s representatives.

This is not a tweak. This is a demolition. The administrative state was built by a thousand surrenders. It will be dismantled by one restoration: the REINS Act.

But the legislative seizure is only the first strike. When agencies judge their own cases — acting as prosecutor, judge, and jury — the Administrative Independence Act restores Article III (the Judicial Branch) independence and eradicates the politicization of justice. When those two strikes land, the mechanisms for violating the Bill of Rights are dismantled — and the Common Defence is secured by a vigilant people who watch, name, defend, and vote. Two strikes. One root. One constitutional order restored.

Your Battle Plan To Restore Justice 

The issue is Justice. The offender is the Fourth Branch — agencies that write laws, enforce laws, and judge laws without your consent. In restoring Justice, we dismantle the lawless bureaucracy.

Step One: See It — Document the Seizure. When an agency sends you a compliance demand, save it. When a regulation costs you money, time, or property, record it. When an administrative court judges your case, document the process. Justice requires that we see what has been seized. Start by seeing it.

Step Two: Share It — Name the Fourth Branch. Tell your neighbors what you’ve experienced. File public records requests for agency rulemaking processes. Post your compliance costs publicly. Justice requires that the seizure be named — and that means making sure your neighbors see it too.

Step Three: Send It — Defend the Constitution. Send your documentation to my office. When I make it into Congress, I will not debate regulatory theory. I will hold up your EPA letters and your FEMA bills and your VA wait times and your Medicare denials. I will hold up my own whistleblower files — the rules I never consented to, the oversight that protected the agency, the accountability shield that left me without recourse. I will say: “This is the legislative seizure. This is the enforcement without representation. This is the accountability shield. Justice has collapsed. The REINS Act will restore it. Let’s vote.” And then we will vote — and keep voting — until the Fourth Branch is dismantled and the constitutional order is restored.

The Verdict

The federal government was charged with establishing Justice — ensuring that no power rules you without your consent. For 15 years, your representation watched as a Fourth Branch seized legislative, executive, and judicial power. They funded the seizure. They empowered the seizure. They became the seizure.

They observe the corruption. I will eradicate it.

The REINS Act is not a reform. It is a restoration — of Article I authority, of the constitutional order, of the duty to establish Justice. Every regulation that carries the force of law will face a vote of your representatives. Every agency that writes rules will answer to Congress. Every bureaucrat who enforces compliance will be subject to the consent of the governed.

One constitutional restoration. One duty fulfilled. One Fourth Branch dismantled.

Every dereliction violates a duty. Every strike restores it.

Your representation watched for fifteen years. I reported the corruption in fifteen days. I will fight until the legislative seizure is dismantled.

A right delayed is a right denied. Your representation delayed. I will restore.

The Preamble charges us with two purposes — to form a more perfect Union and to secure the Blessings of Liberty. To strike the root and to secure the table. That is our work — and it has always been ours.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington — so that Justice is established by the Constitution, not seized by bureaucrats who never faced the voters.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

— Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table for Congress

The Sword Turned Inward

When Justice Is Weaponized

When agencies act as prosecutor, judge, and jury, the government has replaced justice with power. You are no longer a citizen with rights. You are a target to be processed.

This isn’t abstract.

It’s the small business owner who faces an administrative hearing — and discovers the judge is an employee of the agency that fined her, the rules of evidence do not apply, and the decision was written before she walked in.

It’s the property owner who challenges an agency seizure — and learns that the same agency that took his land will decide whether the taking was lawful, the same agency that wrote the rule will interpret the rule, and the same agency that denied his appeal will review the denial.

It’s the worker who blows the whistle on corruption — and is redirected to the Inspector General, who redirects her back to the agency she reported, which investigates itself and finds no wrongdoing unless pressed. The accountability shield protects the agency. The citizen is left without recourse.

It’s the veteran who appeals a VA decision — and waits years for a hearing before an administrative judge who is not independent, in a proceeding that is not a court, under rules that do not require the agency to prove its case.

It’s the senior who disputes a Medicare denial — and enters a trip-up system designed to exhaust her, where the agency that denied the claim also adjudicates the appeal, and the outcome is predetermined by the bureaucracy that created the denial.

How can the judge be fair when the judge works for the prosecutor? Where is my impartial tribunal when the agency that accused me also decides my fate? Why does the system protect itself instead of the citizen it was built to serve? When did due process become a proceeding where the outcome is predetermined?

I am not just asking these questions. I am building the case to dismantle the system that makes them necessary — because I have been subject to that system, and I will fight until that system is dismantled.

The Sword Turned Inward

The Two Purposes 

The Preamble charges the federal government with two purposes and four duties. The two purposes — to form a more perfect Union and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity — are the bookends of the Republic. To form a more perfect Union is to strike the root: to dismantle what is broken, to correct what has seized, to do the hard work of making whole what has been fractured. To secure the Blessings of Liberty is to secure the table: to preserve what is precious, to defend what sustains, to maintain the vigilance that keeps what we have built. The four duties — establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, and promote the general Welfare — are the means of moving from one purpose to the other. That is our work — and it has always been ours.

The Theater Of Justice 

The Preamble charges the federal government with two purposes and four duties. To form a more perfect Union is to strike the root — to dismantle what is broken, to correct what has seized. To secure the Blessings of Liberty is to secure the table — to preserve what is precious, to defend what sustains. The four duties — establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare — are the means of moving from one purpose to the other. That is our work — and it has always been ours.

The duty to establish Justice requires impartial courts — tribunals where the judge is not the prosecutor, where the rules of evidence apply, where the accused can face the accuser, and where the decision can be reviewed by an independent judiciary. When agencies act as prosecutor, judge, and jury — when they write the rule, enforce the rule, and judge whether you broke the rule — justice has been replaced by theater. The proceeding exists to ratify the agency’s power, not to protect the citizen’s rights.

The Constitution separated the powers of government for a reason. The same hands that accuse you should not judge you. The same agency that writes the rule should not adjudicate its violation. The same bureaucracy that targets you should not decide whether the targeting was lawful. When all three powers — accusation, judgment, and appeal — reside in the same institution, the citizen has no advocate, no protection, and no recourse.

Fifteen Years Of Complicity 

For 15 years, your representation has watched this weaponization and done nothing. They have funded the administrative courts. They have confirmed the judges who are not judges. They have allowed agencies to act as prosecutor, judge, and jury — and they have called it due process.

The Witness 

I know this weaponization not as theory, but as experience. When I became a whistleblower against corruption in state government, I encountered a system where the agency I reported was the same agency that investigated my report. The due process theater protected the agency, not the citizen. The lag and nonsense — the delays designed to exhaust, the procedures designed to deny, the outcomes predetermined before the hearing began — were not bugs. They were features. The system was built to shield itself, not to seek truth. I have lived the weaponization of the vulnerable, the due process theater, the accountability shield — and I know the federal government runs the same play at a higher level.

The Betrayal

The result is a government that accuses you, judges you, and denies your appeal — all within the same agency. This is not due process. This is not justice. This is the sword of government authority turned inward against the citizens it was charged to protect. And it is a betrayal of the duty to establish Justice.

One Constitutional Independence

The Committed Strike

The REINS Act — Striking the Root of Every Judicial Seizure. Every judicial seizure — agencies judging their own cases, due process theater, accountability shields — is enabled by the same root: an administrative state that writes rules without your vote, enforces them without your consent, and shields itself from accountability. The REINS Act requires that every major regulation come before Congress for an up-or-down vote before it can take effect. No more rules written by bureaucrats who never face the voters. No more laws imposed by agencies without your consent. When Congress must vote on every major regulation, the root that enables the judicial seizure is struck — agencies can no longer enforce rules that Congress has not approved, and the accountability shield that protects them begins to crack.

The Supporting Strike

The Administrative Independence Act — Restoring Article III (the Judicial Branch). The Administrative Independence Act removes the power of adjudication from administrative agencies and restores it to Article III courts — independent tribunals where the judge is not the prosecutor, the rules of evidence apply, and the decision can be reviewed by an independent judiciary. No more agencies judging their own cases. No more administrative judges who are employees of the agency that accused you. No more due process theater where the outcome is predetermined.

What the Administrative Independence Act dismantles:

The judicial seizure. Agencies can no longer act as prosecutor, judge, and jury. If the government accuses you, your case will be heard by an independent court — not an employee of the agency that targeted you.

The due process theater. The rules of evidence will apply. The accused can face the accuser. The decision will be reviewable by an independent judiciary. No more proceedings designed to ratify the agency’s power.

The accountability shield. When agencies can no longer judge their own cases, they can no longer hide behind administrative proceedings that protect them from scrutiny. The Inspector General redirect ends. The self-investigation ends. The bureaucracy answers to the courts — and the courts answer to the Constitution.

What the Administrative Independence Act does not do:

It does not eliminate agency enforcement. It restores the constitutional order — agencies investigate and prosecute, independent courts judge, and the judiciary reviews.

It does not create new courts. It returns adjudicative power to the courts that already exist — the Article III courts that the Constitution established for exactly this purpose.

It does not favor the accused over the agency. It restores the impartiality that justice requires — the government must prove its case before a tribunal that is not its own.

This is not a tweak. This is a restoration. The administrative state seized judicial power by a thousand small surrenders. It will be restored by one act of constitutional independence.

The Executive Complement

Schedule Policy/Career — the executive order that makes policy bureaucrats fireable. The Administrative Independence Act dismantles the judicial seizure. But the agents who weaponized the system remain in place unless the President has the authority to remove them. Schedule Policy/Career strips job protections from federal employees who shape policy — restoring the President’s Article II authority to fire those who resist or undermine the policies you voted for. The sword of government authority must be wielded by those accountable to the voters — not by career bureaucrats who cannot be removed and who face no consequences for weaponizing their power. Schedule Policy/Career ensures that the agents of politicized enforcement answer to the elected executive — and through the executive, to the people.

Two strikes. One root. Constitutional order restored.

Your Battle Plan To Restore Justice

The issue is Justice. The offender is the politicized agency — prosecutors who are also judges, judges who are also employees, proceedings that are also predetermined outcomes. In restoring Justice, we eradicate the politicization of justice.

Step One: See It — Document the Weaponization. When an agency judges your case, record the proceeding. When the judge is an agency employee, note it. When the rules of evidence do not apply, document it. When the outcome was written before the hearing, preserve the evidence. Justice requires that we see what has been weaponized. Start by seeing it.

Step Two: Share It — Name the Theater. Tell your neighbors what you’ve experienced. File public records requests for administrative hearing procedures. Post your hearing outcomes publicly. Justice requires that the weaponization be named — and that means making sure your neighbors see it too.

Step Three: Send It — Defend the Constitution. Send your documentation to my office. When I make it into Congress, I will not debate administrative law theory. I will hold up your hearing transcripts and your denial letters and your appeal outcomes. I will hold up my own whistleblower files — the Inspector General redirect, the self-investigation, the accountability shield that left me without recourse. I will say: “This is the judicial seizure. This is the due process theater. This is the accountability shield. Justice has collapsed. The Administrative Independence Act will restore it. Let’s vote.” And we will — until the politicization of justice is eradicated and the constitutional order is restored.

The Verdict

The federal government was charged with establishing Justice — ensuring that no power rules you without your consent. For 15 years, your representation watched as agencies seized judicial power, acted as prosecutor, judge, and jury, and replaced due process with theater. They funded the seizure. They empowered the seizure. They became the seizure.

They observe the corruption. I will eradicate it.

The Administrative Independence Act is not a reform. It is a restoration — of Article III (the Judicial Branch) independence, of the constitutional order, of the duty to establish Justice. Every agency that adjudicates violations will answer to independent courts. Every bureaucrat who judges citizens will be subject to judicial review. Every proceeding that protects the agency will be replaced by a proceeding that protects the accused.

One constitutional independence. One duty fulfilled. One judicial seizure eradicated.

Every dereliction violates a duty. Every strike restores it.

Your representation watched for fifteen years. I reported the corruption in fifteen days. I will not rest until the politicization of justice is eradicated.

A right delayed is a right denied. Your representation delayed. I will restore.

The Preamble charges us with two purposes — to form a more perfect Union and to secure the Blessings of Liberty. To strike the root and to secure the table. That is our work — and it has always been ours.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington — so that Justice is established by the Constitution, not seized by agencies that act as prosecutor, judge, and jury.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

The Rights You Cannot Use

The Censored Citizen. You post a legitimate opinion on social media. A federal agency flags it as “misinformation”—not because it is false, but because it contradicts the agency’s preferred narrative. The platform removes it. You have no appeal. No hearing. No vote. Your speech was not protected by the First Amendment—it was surrendered to a partnership between government bureaucrats and tech executives who decided your voice was inconvenient.

The Persecuted Believer. Your faith-based organization serves your community. A federal agency redefines “discrimination” to include your religious convictions. Regulatory harassment begins—audits, investigations, funding threats. You face an agency employee judging their own complaint. No jury. No independent judge. Your religious liberty was not protected by the First Amendment—it was assaulted by an administrative state that claims the power to redefine faith as bigotry.

The Disarmed Veteran. You exercised your constitutional right to self-defence. A federal agency reclassifies your firearm through regulatory fiat—not a vote, not a law, a rule written by an unelected bureaucrat. You are now a criminal for owning what was legal yesterday. Your right to keep and bear arms was not protected by the Second Amendment—it was dismantled by administrative discretion.

The Abandoned Senior. Your parent receives a call from a foreign scam ring. The fraud is sophisticated. The money is gone. You report it to federal authorities—and nothing happens. The agency that should prosecute is busy enforcing rules about language, worship, and weapons. Foreign predators operate with impunity because the administrative state has surrendered the common Defence to focus on assaulting your rights. Your parent was not protected by the government’s duty to defend—they were abandoned to predators the government refuses to fight.

The Structural Betrayal

The Constitution charges the government with providing for the common Defence. Instead, the administrative state assaults your rights from within—and abandons you to predators without.

This is not a policy dispute. This is a structural betrayal. The administrative state has seized a power the Constitution never granted: the power to write the law, prosecute the accused, and judge the outcome—all from the same desk. The Bill of Rights was written to constrain government. The administrative state has made it optional.

When a federal agency writes a rule, it creates law you never voted for. When that agency enforces the rule, it acts as prosecutor. When it adjudicates the violation, it serves as judge. The same body legislates, prosecutes, and convicts. The Constitution separates these powers for a reason: concentrated power is tyrannical power. The administrative state has recombined them through decades of delegation, deference, and expansion.

The agencies that should be defending you from foreign fraud are instead policing your speech, harassing your faith, and dismantling your right to self-defence. The duty to defend has been surrendered to censors, persecutors, and predators.

The Common Defence Assaulted From Within

For 15 years, your representation has been a silent accomplice. They have watched as:

First Amendment — Free Speech Shredded: Federal agencies collude with Big Tech to censor speech and fund ideologies that attack our history and values. Free speech is the republic’s early warning system. Silence it, and the Common Defence goes blind.

First Amendment — Religious Liberty Criminalized: Faith-based businesses and charities face targeted regulatory harassment for living their convictions. Faith is the moral infrastructure of self-governance. Persecute it, and the Common Defence loses its foundation.

Second Amendment — The Right to Self-Defence Eroded: While violent crime surges, the focus remains on disarming responsible citizens instead of prosecuting criminals. The right to self-defence is the Common Defence at the individual level. Disarm the citizen, and you abandon them to the predators within.

The Common Defence Assaulted From Without

Common Defence — Seniors Abandoned to Foreign Predators: Scams originating outside the United States drain the life savings of American retirees. Local law enforcement can’t pursue the perpetrators. The federal government has the tools but won’t use them. Economic warfare is warfare. Ignore it, and the Common Defence surrenders from without.

Their inaction is a betrayal of their oath. They manage this decline. I intend to end it.

But the deeper failure is ours. We have become accustomed to the censorship. We have become accustomed to the persecution. We have become accustomed to the disarmament. We have become accustomed to the abandonment. We stopped watching. We stopped naming. We stopped defending. We stopped voting as if the Common Defence depended on us — because it does.

I know this surrender not as theory, but as experience. When I became a whistleblower against corruption in state government, I encountered a system where my right to speak truth to power was met with retaliation, my right to due process was met with theater, and my right to equal protection under the law was met with an accountability shield that protected the agency, not the citizen. The Bill of Rights guarantees the right to petition the government for redress of grievances — but when the government redirects your petition to the agency you’re complaining about, the right exists in theory but not in practice. The Bill of Rights guarantees due process — but when the process is designed to protect the agency, not the citizen, due process has been replaced by theater. The Bill of Rights guarantees equal protection — but when the accountability shield protects the corrupt and abandons the whistleblower, equal protection has been surrendered. I have lived the constitutional surrender — the Common Defence assaulted from within — and I know the federal government runs the same play at a higher level.

The result is a government that assaults the Bill of Rights from within and abandons our citizens to foreign predators from without — and a people that has become accustomed to both. This is not a political disagreement. This is a constitutional surrender. And it is a betrayal of the duty to provide for the common Defence.

Restoring The Bill Of Rights

Dismantle the administrative state that assaults the Bill of Rights from within and abandons our citizens from without:

Strike One: Your Vote, Not Their Rules

Federal agencies write rules that carry the force of law—and you never get a vote. Strike One forces every major agency rule before Congress for an up-or-down vote. Your representative vote, not their rules.

Strike Two: Your Day in Court

When an agency violates your rights, you face an agency employee judging their own decision. No jury. No independent judge. Strike Two gives you a real court, a real judge, and a real jury. Your day in court, not their star chamber.

Strike Three: The Standard That Restores Your Rights

Once the administrative state can no longer write rules without your vote or judge its own cases, Strike Three becomes the severing blow—the Standard that measures every vote and legislates the remedy for every violation. Does this protect your rights, or surrender them? When the answer is surrender—Strike Three restores.

These three strikes restore the Bill of Rights by dismantling the administrative state’s power to violate it.

Four fights where the Bill of Rights meets the Common Defence—where the government’s duty to defend becomes the power to assault your rights from within and the surrender to predators without.

End the Collusion. I will vote to sever the partnership between federal agencies and tech companies.

End the Persecution. I will vote to prohibit regulatory harassment of faith-based organizations.

End the Disarmament. I will vote to ensure the right to self-defence is not dismantled by administrative fiat.

End the Abandonment. I will vote to prioritize federal prosecution of foreign-origin fraud targeting American seniors.

Strikes One and Two hit the diseased root. Strike Three severs it—securing the Standard: the Common Defence for the people, within and without. Free speech protected. Religious liberty guaranteed. Self-defence secured. And, seniors defended.

The Standard severs the root—so the next administration cannot impose new rules, new star chambers, new surrenders. True constitutional defence—rooted in the rights of the people, not in the discretion of the agency.

Your Battle Plan

You have seen the assault on your rights. Now defend them.

The Litmus Test: Does this candidate, this bill, this policy provide for the common Defence—or surrender it to censors, persecutors, and predators? Hold every candidate and every policy to this standard.

Step One: See It. When your speech is censored, screenshot it. When your faith is persecuted, record it. When your right to self-defence is infringed, note the law that infringes it. When a senior you know is targeted by a foreign scam, write it down. Start by seeing the assault—especially the parts you have become accustomed to.

Step Two: Share It. Tell your neighbors what you have seen. Post your censorship screenshots publicly. Warn the seniors in your life about foreign scams. Expose the assault.

Step Three: Defend It. This is where vigilance becomes action.

Evaluate every candidate and every policy against the litmus test. When you see the assault at work—in a school board meeting, in a regulatory action, in a dismissed fraud case—show up. Speak. File the comment. Bring your neighbors. The assault survives when good people stay silent. The assault ends when the room is full and the record is stacked.

See the assault. Expose the assault. Defend your rights.

The Verdict

The three strikes are the architecture. The four fights are the application. The Battle Plan is your activation. The administrative state has spent decades building its power—but it will fall to three strikes and a Standard that does not yield. Will the assault continue? Or will the Standard prevail? It depends on vigilance—yours.

I am Ivette Palomo. I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your kitchen table is secured by the Constitution, not surrendered to censors, persecutors, and predators.

One restoration. One defence. One duty fulfilled.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

Vote. Fuel. Fight. — Your rights are not their ransom. Vote Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table on August 18, 2026. Fuel the Strike → Fight to win!
