AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA’S 11TH DISTRICT

Our First 100 Days: The Blitz

On Election Day, we will deliver a verdict. My first 100 days in Congress will execute that verdict with unrelenting force. This is not a timeline for signing ceremonies; it is a declaration of war on the status quo.

Phase 1: The Demolition — Strike The Root

When: From Day One.
How: I will introduce, demand hearings on, and force votes for the three structural strikes that dismantle the corruption of unaccountable power:

    • The REINS Act: Dismantles the Lawless Bureaucracy by reclaiming Congress’s sole power to tax and regulate.
    • The Administrative Independence Act: Eradicates Politicized Justice by abolishing agency courts and restoring constitutional due process to Article III tribunals.
    • The Bill of Rights Restoration Act (Defund, Disarm, and Digital Freedom Acts): Restores Congressional Authority by defunding federal ideological programs (DEI/CRT), establishing National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, and banning government-led censorship and surveillance.

Why we lead with this: We cannot rebuild on a rotten foundation. This blitz will force every member of Congress to go on record: Are they for the constitutional separation of powers, or for the unchecked bureaucratic regime?

Phase 2: The Reconstruction — Secure The Table

When: Concurrent with Phase 1.
How: I will immediately introduce the first wave of our “Secure the Table” agenda—the urgent, tangible fixes that become possible once the root is struck. These are not subsidies. They are liberations from bureaucracy.

1. Insurance Pricing Freedom

The Problem: Your flood insurance bill doubled while the algorithm stayed hidden.
The Solution: No federal insurance adjustment without local verification and congressional review.
The Strike: Stop the algorithm. Restore the market.

2. Agricultural Land Freedom

The Problem: Farmers need permits to work their own waterways.
The Solution: No federal permit required for work on private agricultural land.
The Strike: Your land. Your water. Your rules.

3. Homeowner Tax Relief

The Problem: Storm-hardening improvements are taxed like luxury upgrades.
The Solution: Exempt storm-hardening and safety improvements from tax assessments.
The Strike: Keep your money. Build your home.

These bills will be marked up, debated, and pushed to the floor. We will use this momentum to build the coalition needed to pass them.

This is just the opening salvo. The full “Secure the Table” agenda—including our push to declare war on the fentanyl and mental health crisis, fix the VA, and unleash American energy dominance—will be advanced throughout the term. The first 100 days is about breaking their system. The next 1,361 days are about building ours.

Join the Blitz. Power This Fight.

The time for passive complaining is over. The time for decisive action is now.

Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table For Congress

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!

Theft by Algorithm

Here is the truth the system does not tell you: Your insurance didn’t just go up because of storms. It went up because unelected FEMA bureaucrats flipped a switch.

Leadership sat in Congress for 15 years while this was built. They watched the machine turn on. They watched your bill double. Their response? They held hearings and co-sponsored a “transparency” bill to ask the computer politely to show its work. But they never stopped the computer from running in the first place.

You are being bankrupted to fund a bankrupt system, all while your representatives ask for the computer to show its homework.

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

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 cannot see. Data they cannot verify. A price they cannot afford. And no court to appeal to.

The Bureaucracy calls this a complex problem. I call it theft. And I’m giving you the evidence to prove it.

Restore Your Power

We will disarm the bureaucracy with two constitutional weapons:

1. Pull the Plug (The REINS Act)
We will end the crime before it happens. This law forces any rule with the power to cripple your family budget—like FEMA’s Black Box algorithm—to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. No more secret switches flipped without your consent.

2. Restore Your Court (The Administrative Independence Act)
We will give you your day in court. This law abolishes the agency-run “star chambers” and restores your 7th Amendment right to a jury trial. When the bureaucracy harms you, you get a real judge, not another bureaucrat.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

Your Battle Plan: Three Steps to Strike Back

This is not my fight alone. This is our fight. Join me in this endeavor:

One: 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.

Two: 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.

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

Forward, Always

Strike the root. Secure the table.

I am Ivette Palomo. I am running for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 11th District to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your hard work, not a bureaucrat’s algorithm, secures your home.

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.

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.

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.

The Border Betrayal

The fentanyl crisis devastating Florida is not an accident; it is a policy choice. It is the direct result of an administrative state that has willfully abandoned its constitutional duty to secure the border. On January 20, 2021, the President terminated border wall construction. On September 30, 2021, his Secretary of Homeland Security issued directives telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement not to enforce the law against most individuals here illegally. Unelected officials within the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies issue such internal memos and “guidance” that effectively stand down border enforcement, prioritize processing over protection, and create the very loopholes cartels exploit. This is The Border Betrayal: a system where the administrative state deliberately chooses to manage an invasion rather than stop it.

For fifteen years, they stood watch in a Congress that has been neutered by this administrative overreach. They have done nothing to reclaim the legislative branch’s constitutional power over the border. They offer thoughts and prayers while the administrative state opens the gates. They water the leaves with symbolic bills while the root of the problem—an out-of-control executive branch—grows stronger.

They treat a deliberate policy failure as an act of God. I treat it as an act of treason against our families by the administrative state.

They say they are “monitoring the situation.” For 15 years, they have monitored the cartels’ profits and your family’s funeral bills. They hold hearings. They write letters. They never changes the power structure that allows the poison to flow. They are a sentry who salutes the invaders as they pass.

When Policy Becomes Poison

The Cost in Your Community

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

You know the stories: a teenager in Clermont, a father in Wildwood, a sister in Polk City—lost to a single pill pressed in a Mexican lab and sold by a cartel that treats our border like an open door. In 2022 alone, fentanyl was present in the deaths of 5,962 Floridians—a 16% increase from the year before. This poison is shipped by the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels, who have mastered the loopholes created by Washington’s “catch-and-release” policies, knowing that once inside, their couriers face little risk of detention or deportation.

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.

They say they are ‘monitoring the situation.’ For 15 years, they have monitored the cartels’ profits and your family’s funeral bills. They hold hearings. They write letters. They never change the power structure that allows the poison to flow. They are a sentry who salutes the invaders as they pass.

The REINS Act: Reclaiming Constitutional Authority Over the Border

This is not about asking the bureaucrats to be better managers of the invasion. It is about demolishing their power to open the gates in the first place. The REINS Act (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) strikes at the root of the border crisis by forcing the executive branch to get congressional approval for any major policy change—including the disastrous “catch-and-release” directives and other enforcement memos that have opened the floodgates.

The Legislative Strike

The REINS Act severs the power of the administrative state to unilaterally disarm our border. Before: A bureaucrat signs a memo, border enforcement is deprioritized, and fentanyl flows. After: Any major rule that can swing open the border must come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. The memo that told ICE to stand down would have never survived the light of day.

When we pass this act:

  • The Department of Homeland Security can no longer issue major enforcement guidance by bureaucratic decree;
  • Secret “prosecutorial discretion” memos that tie the hands of Border Patrol must face a public, congressional vote;
  • Your congressman becomes accountable for border security, not an unelected appointee;
  • The root of bureaucratic betrayal is severed, allowing us to finally secure the border and stop the poison at its source.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strike

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

One: Gather Your Local Body Count. Use Florida’s Sunshine Laws. File a simple public records request with your county sheriff or medical examiner. Ask for one thing: the number of fentanyl-related deaths in your county for the past year. That number is your proof.

Two: Name a Lost Angel. For every number, there is a name. 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 of its failure.

Three: Share the Evidence. Send me the data and the story. When I stand on the House floor to force the vote, I will hold your proof in my hand. I will say: “This is not a statistic. This was a life from Winter Garden, from Clermont, from Polk City. The policy failed, and Congress let it happen.”

The Verdict

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

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

They offer symbolic bills that go nowhere. I offer the REINS Act—a constitutional tool to dismantle the administrative state’s power over our border and restore the rule of law.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: A border in chaos, communities poisoned, and a government that answers to no one. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to reclaim Congress’s constitutional authority and secure our nation.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that our laws, not bureaucrats, protect our families.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

The Administrative Rigging of Healthcare: The Two-Stage Trap

Leadership has spent fifteen years in Washington watching a two-stage trap be built around your family’s finances. They have done nothing to stop it.

Stage One: The Rules That Bankrupt You. Federal bureaucrats at agencies like CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and HHS (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. They create the Byzantine 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. The bureaucrats write the rules that make care unaffordable.

Stage Two: The Star Chamber That Ruins You. When you can’t pay that bill, a second bureaucracy takes over. Debt collectors, credit reporting agencies, and federal financial regulators like the CFPB (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 (ALJs) 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.

Leadership has spent fifteen years in Washington watching a two-stage trap be built around your family’s finances. They have done nothing to stop it.  They offer hearings and “transparency” bills. They tinker at the edges of Stage Two while doing nothing to stop Stage One.

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

When Your Health Is Hostage to Bureaucracy

At your kitchen table, this isn’t abstract policy. It’s a two-part disaster.

First, the bill arrives. It’s 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’s the rule.” The rule was written by a CMS bureaucrat you’ve never heard of.

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

You’re asking the right questions: “Why did that ambulance ride cost $5,000? And why, when I couldn’t pay it, did a faceless corporation get to destroy my credit without me ever seeing a real judge?”

I am not just asking those questions. I am building the case to dismantle both halves of the machine that is crushing you.

The One-Two Punch – Stop the Rules, End the Star Chambers

This is not about reforming a broken system. It is about demolishing the twin pillars of bureaucratic theft.

1. The First Strike: The REINS Act. We stop the rules that inflate the costs. The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act forces any major federal healthcare regulation—any rule that dictates coverage, sets pricing, or impacts patient costs—to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. No more unelected bureaucrats at CMS or HHS deciding what your family can afford.

2. The Second Strike: The Administrative Independence Act. We demolish the star chambers that enforce the debt. This act abolishes the administrative law judge system in financial agencies and restores your Seventh Amendment right to a trial by jury. When a debt collector or credit bureau tries to ruin you, you can take them to a real, Article III court—a neutral judge and a jury of your peers will decide the case, not a bureaucrat on the government’s payroll.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strikes:

While I fight to pass these twin bills in Washington, I need you to document both sides of this trap.

One: Document the “Rule.” When you get a massive, unexpected medical bill, don’t 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, the citation. Send it to my office. We will build a public ledger of the rules that are bankrupting families.

Two: Document the “Star Chamber.” When a debt goes to collections or hits your credit report, and you attempt to dispute it, save every piece of paper. Save the letters that direct you to the company’s “internal dispute process.” Record the phone calls where they tell you you have no other recourse. This is evidence of the star chamber. Send it to me.

Three: Share Your Twin Story. Post on social media. Tell the story in two parts: First, the outrageous cost caused by a bureaucratic rule. Second, the financial ruin caused by the collections star chamber.

Send me your evidence. When I stand on the House floor, I will hold up your medical bill in one hand and your credit report in the other. 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. We will pass both.”

THE VERDICT

Leadership offers hearings and ‘transparency’ bills. They tinker at the edges of Stage Two while doing nothing to stop Stage One.

They propose tweaks to credit reporting. I will pass the Administrative Independence Act to give you a real court to fight it in.

They offer Band-Aids for a system designed to bleed you dry. I offer two sledgehammers to smash the twin pillars of the trap.

Fifteen years of their “experience” brought you to this crisis: a healthcare system you can’t afford and a financial system designed to punish you for it. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to reclaim your health and your wealth.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your health is determined by your doctor, not a bureaucrat, and your finances are judged by a jury, not a star chamber.

Strike the root. Secure the table.

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

The Regulatory Siege on the American Home

Washington has declared war on the American Dream of homeownership. This isn’t a market failure; it’s a regulatory siege. Federal agencies like HUD and the EPA have seized the powers of a national zoning board and credit union, dictating what can be built, who can afford it, and how it can be financed. They engineer scarcity with thousands of pages of rules, adding tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of a home.

The political establishment’s only response is managerial surrender. For 15 years, politicians diagnose the symptom—”skyrocketing costs”—while offering nothing to cure the disease. This surrender is replicated everywhere. In Tallahassee this year, meaningful reform to empower homeowners died, while a new subsidy program to help people pay rent passed. They choose to manage your poverty, never granting you the freedom to build your way out of it.

Washington doesn’t have a policy problem; it has a method problem. Their method is regulation without representation. Our method is to strike the root.

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

When Your Future Is Held Hostage by Red Tape

At the kitchen table, this isn’t a debate over zoning codes; it’s the family budget stretched to its breaking point. It’s the young firefighter who wants to buy a modest fixer-upper to put down roots but can’t afford the down payment and the $20,000 needed to make it livable. It’s the nurse who drives an hour each way on gridlocked I-4 because there is nothing she can afford to rent, let alone buy, in the town where she works. It’s the senior on a fixed income, facing the choice between paying for a new roof or their medication, trapped in a home that is no longer safe.

You are asking the right question: “Why is it so hard to buy a home? Why does the government make it easier for a corporate developer 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 housing crisis possible.

Strike the Root with the REINS Act.

The REINS Act is the legislative strike that ends the administrative state’s chokehold on housing. It forces any major federal regulation—from HUD zoning mandates to EPA land-use rules—to receive an up-or-down vote in Congress. No longer can unelected bureaucrats silently add tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of a home. Power over the American Dream returns to the people’s accountable representatives.

To pass it, we will wield your evidence on the House floor. Document your “Red Tape Receipt.” Map your community’s restrictive zoning. Share your story. I will assemble your proof into a case that cannot be ignored: federal rules, not the free market, are blocking the path to homeownership. This is how we dismantle the Architecture of Scarcity—not with another subsidy, but by restoring the constitutional power to build.

Fifteen years of “experience” is written in the collapse of this market. In my first fifteen days, I will begin the fight to set the American Dream free.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am fighting to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington.

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 Wall at Our Kitchen Table

This is the face of Familial Security under assault. The political class in Washington and Tallahassee has built a wall around the American Dream of farming, and right here in District 11, The previous leadership is its silent architect. They’ve created a system of astronomical land costs, impossible loan requirements, and a mountain of red tape designed to keep new families out of agriculture. They have stood by for 15 years as the average age of a farmer in America has climbed to nearly 60, watching silently as the path to land ownership for the next generation has been completely blocked.

This wall isn’t made of concrete; it’s built brick by brick with the very policies career politicians have refused to fight. The first brick is Federal Estate Taxes, a death tax that forces families to sell their farm their grandfather built just to pay the government. The second brick is Impossible Loan Requirements at the USDA, where a young person with a strong back and a dream is denied by an administrative law judge with no real court to appeal to. The third brick is Corporate Land Monopolies, enabled by federal subsidies and rules that favor conglomerates. Leadership has watched this wall go up, brick by brick, and has done nothing to stop it.

Their solution? To water the leaves. They offer small tweaks to loan programs and symbolic votes against the estate tax, while leaving the root causes—the power of unelected bureaucrats to make these rules and the star chambers that enforce them—completely intact.

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

The Heartbreak of a Broken Legacy

At the American Kitchen Table, this isn’t an abstract policy failure. It is the quiet heartbreak of knowing the legacy your family built for generations will likely end with you because the system is rigged against your own children. It’s the son or daughter who loves the land but is forced to leave for the city because they simply can’t afford to take over the family farm. It’s the young couple with a passion for growing food who is crushed by a bureaucratic maze they can’t navigate.

You’re asking the right question: “Why is it easier for a massive corporation to buy 10,000 acres than for my family to buy 40? Why does a USDA bureaucrat I can’t even sue get to decide my family isn’t ‘creditworthy’?”

I’m not just asking that question—I’m building the case to demolish the system of bureaucratic exclusion that created it.

Tearing Down the Wall: Stop the Rules, End the Star Chambers

This is not about asking the USDA to be nicer. It is about bulldozing the twin pillars of the system that is killing the family farm.

1. The First Strike: The REINS Act. We stop the rules that lock you out. The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act forces major federal regulations—including those that govern estate taxes, USDA lending, and subsidy formulas—to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote. No more unelected IRS or USDA bureaucrats deciding your family’s fate with the stroke of a pen.

2. The Second Strike: The Administrative Independence Act. We demolish the star chambers that seal your fate. This act abolishes the administrative law judge system within the USDA and IRS. It restores your Seventh Amendment right to a trial by jury. When the Farm Service Agency denies your loan, or the IRS hits you with a death tax valuation you can’t pay, you can take them to a real, Article III court—where a neutral judge and a jury of fellow farmers will hear your case, not a government employee.

Your Battle Plan to Support the Strikes:

While I fight to pass these bills in Washington, I need you to help me build the unassailable case that bureaucracy, not bad luck, is killing the family farm.

One: Document the “Death Tax Threat.” If you are facing or have faced an estate tax bill that threatens your farm, document it. Get the valuation notice, the correspondence. Show how a bureaucrat’s number threatens generations of work. Send it to my office.

Two: Get Your “Loan Denial Letter.” If you or someone you know has been denied a USDA or FSA loan, get the denial letter. Highlight the language that directs your appeal to another agency official or an administrative judge. This is evidence of the star chamber. Send it to me.

Three: Share Your “Lost Legacy” Story. Post a short video from your land. Explain what this farm has meant to your family. Explain how a rule, a tax, or a denied loan is breaking that chain. Tag me, Daniel Webster, and use #BulldozetheBarriers. Put a human face on the bureaucratic wall.

Send me your evidence. When I stand on the House floor, I will hold up your Death Tax notices and Loan Denial letters. I will say, “Here is the federal rule that is destroying this family’s heritage. Here is the bureaucratic court that sealed their fate. The REINS Act stops the rule. The Administrative Independence Act smashes the court. We will pass both.”

THE VERDICT

The previous leadership offers to adjust the interest rates on loans that young farmers can’t even get. I will pass the REINS Act to stop the rules that make those loans impossible and the Administrative Independence Act to give farmers a real court to fight denials.

They want to manage the decline of the family farm. I intend to revive it by striking at the root of its problems.

They offer condolences and committees. I offer a declaration of war on the bureaucrats and taxmen who are killing our heritage.

Fifteen years of their “experience” built this wall between your children and their family land. That is not a record. That is a confession of dereliction.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to bulldoze these barriers.

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

Strike the root. Secure the table.

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

The Fourth Branch of Betrayal

There is a thief in Washington, and it is stealing your life one hour at a time.

The corrupt political class has constructed a Fourth Branch of Government—an unelected administrative edifice that rules by decree, unaccountable to the People and unchecked by the Constitution. This is not governance; it is a constitutional coup. Agencies like the EPA, FEMA, HHS, and the Army Corps of Engineers have arrogated to themselves the power to write laws, seize property, and hold your home hostage—all without a vote from your elected representative.

This is the Lawless Bureaucracy: a system where Risk Rating 2.0 doubles your insurance premiums not by legislative statute, but by bureaucratic decree from the Federal Insurance Directorate. Where the VHA maintains 18-month wait times not because Congress wills it, but because administrative tenure protects bureaucrats, not patients. Where the EPA declares your citrus grove a wetland not by Act of Congress, but by administrative diktat captured by Big Sugar lobbyists.

The previous leadership has been a willing accomplice to this betrayal for fifteen years in Congress and forty-four years as a politician. They treat these as sixteen separate symptoms requiring sixteen separate Band-Aids. They co-sponsor bills that die in committee while the bureaucratic edifice expands. They manage the decline while the administrative state consumes the Republic.

I intend to strike the root.

The Chains on Your Freedom

At the American Kitchen Table, this is not an abstraction about “regulatory reform.” This is the specific, calculated theft of your time, your property, and your liberty by unelected appointees you cannot name and cannot fire.

It is the fear of opening your homeowners insurance bill and seeing it doubled because FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0—never voted on by Congress—has declared your home “high risk” based on an algorithm written by bureaucrats in DC.

It is watching your citrus operation rot because EPA bureaucrats—not Congress—declared your irrigation ditch a “navigable water” under WOTUS, while Big Sugar buys exemptions from the same unelected lawyers.

It is the exhaustion of the small business owner drowning in the Code of Federal Regulations, written by unelected OSHA and Labor Department appointees, while career politicians offer another “hearing” instead of a lifeline.

It is the betrayal of your grandfather waiting 18 months for a VA appointment because the Veterans Health Administration operates as an unaccountable fiefdom where bureaucratic tenure, not patient outcomes, governs the system.

It is the anxiety of the senior navigating Medicare’s “trip-up” systems—designed not by doctors or patients, but by HHS bureaucrats who will never face a voter.

You are asking the right question: “Who gave these agencies the right to act as my king? Why can they raise my insurance, seize my land, and bury my business without a vote from my congressman?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to restore Article I authority by dismantling the entire administrative architecture that enables this tyranny.

Strike The Root

I do not offer sixteen separate bills to treat sixteen separate symptoms. I offer one constitutional restoration act that collapses the bureaucratic architecture and solves nine downstream crises simultaneously.

THE FIRST STRIKE: The REINS Act (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny)

First introduced in 2009 and endorsed by constitutional conservatives across the nation, the REINS Act recognizes a fundamental truth: If a rule costs the American economy $100 million or more, it should require a vote from your elected representative—not a signature from a bureaucrat.

This is not a tweak. This is a demolition.

When we pass the REINS Act, we do not just “reform” the administrative state; we starve it of its illegitimate lawmaking power. We return to the Constitutional blueprint: Congress writes laws, agencies execute them, and courts interpret them. No more legislative power in the hands of the unelected.

The Leadership Contrast:

The previous leadership has co-sponsored the REINS Act in previous Congresses, yet after fifteen years, it remains unpassed—another bill buried in committee while your premiums doubled. Theyoffer procedural gestures that manage the administrative state; I offer a constitutional sledgehammer that dismantles it. They water the leaves; I strike the root.

THE BATTLE PLAN: Your Role in the Constitutional Restoration

This is a legislative revolution, and I need you to be my investigators and advocates. Here is your battle plan to dismantle the Fourth Branch:

Level 1: The Digital Warrior (For Everyone)

• Expose the Decree: Post the specific CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) citation affecting your business or property. Identify the unelected agency responsible and demand they show you the legislative statute that authorized their rule. Make the invisible theft visible.
• The Red Tape Receipt: If you own a business, itemize every hour and dollar spent complying with a federal regulation that was never voted on by Congress. Post it. Send it to my office. This is the ammunition for the REINS Act.

Level 2: The Constitutional Investigator (For the Committed)

• Demand the Statute: Submit a public records request to any federal agency operating in District 11 (FEMA, EPA, VHA) asking for the specific Act of Congress that authorized their current rule affecting your property. When they cannot produce it (and they cannot), send me the evidence. This is the foundation for the REINS Act.
• Map the Bureaucracy: Create a “Bureaucratic Org Chart” of the unelected officials setting rules for District 11—FEMA’s Federal Insurance Directorate administrators, EPA’s regional directors, VHA’s ALJs. Post it with the question: “Do you know these names? They rule your life.”

Level 3: The Frontline Organizer (For the Leaders)

• The Red Tape Reckoning: Host a community event where residents bring copies of their most burdensome federal regulations (CFR sections) that were never voted on by Congress. Feed them through an industrial paper shredder (securely, with proper document handling) as a symbol of the REINS Act’s demolition of bureaucratic lawmaking.
• The Article I Rally: Organize a “Constitutional Accountability Rally” displaying the accumulated costs of unelected rulemaking—insurance bills, VA denials, compliance invoices. Create a visual monument to the “Cost of Bureaucracy” that I will carry to the House floor as evidence.

When I stand on that floor to introduce the REINS Act, I will not cite economic studies. I will hold up your insurance bills, your agency denials, and your compliance costs. I will look the Speaker in the eye and say:

“These are my constituents. Their insurance doubled without a vote. Their land was seized without a statute. Their business was buried without a law. The REINS Act is not a policy preference; it is a constitutional necessity. Strike the root, and the branches heal.”

This is how we dismantle the Lawless Bureaucracy and restore the Republic.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

—Ivette Palomo and The American Kitchen Table for Congress

When Justice Becomes Partisan

There is no greater betrayal of the Republic than the conversion of justice from a shield into a sword.

The corrupt political class has transformed federal agencies from public servants into partisan enforcement arms—weaponizing the Department of Education to indoctrinate children, the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize illegal processing over poison interdiction, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to seize private property under the guise of “social justice.” They have erected administrative courts where bureaucrats act as prosecutor, judge, and jury—depriving citizens of Article III judicial independence and Seventh Amendment jury trials.

This is the Politicization of Justice: a system where the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights uses “disparate impact” investigations to force Critical Race Theory on local schools—not through legislation, but through the threat of federal litigation and fund withholding. Where Department of Homeland Security (DHS) bureaucrats direct the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resources toward processing illegal immigrants while fentanyl floods District 11, killing our children. Where the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) fines businesses through Administrative Law Judges (ALJs)—politicized appointees who answer to the agency, not the Constitution.

The previous leadership has watched this weaponization for fifteen years and offered only procedural complaints. They votes for “oversight hearings” while the administrative courts steamroll citizens. They co-sponsor symbolic bills while the Department of Education holds local school boards hostage. They manage the symptoms while the disease of politicized enforcement consumes the Republic.

I intend to excise this corruption and restore neutral justice.

When the Law Becomes a Weapon

At the American Kitchen Table, this is not a theoretical debate about “separation of powers.” This is the concrete reality of facing an enforcement apparatus that has been politicized to punish dissent and protect the regime.

The Schoolhouse Weaponization: It is the helplessness of watching your local school board surrender to radical gender ideology—not because the legislature passed a law, but because the Department of Education threatened to withhold federal funds and unleash “civil rights” investigations. The weaponization of justice turns education bureaucrats into commissars who overrule parents without a vote.

The Border Betrayal: It is the terror of the fentanyl crisis in District 11, where DHS and FEMA bureaucrats—following political directives rather than public safety mandates—prioritize processing illegal aliens over stopping the poison flowing across the border. The politicization of enforcement means your child’s safety takes a backseat to administrative processing quotas.

The Trade Rigging: It is the injustice of the citrus grower facing trade enforcement that waives tariffs for politically connected importers while hammering domestic farmers with punitive regulations—enforced not by neutral courts, but by administrative trade courts that answer to the United States Trade Representative’s political appointees.

The Financial Star Chamber: It is the tyranny of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau operating as prosecutor, judge, and jury—fining small businesses through Administrative Law Judges who violate due process protections, denying citizens their right to Article III federal courts and jury trials.

The Property Seizure: It is the theft of property rights through “environmental justice” initiatives, where the Department of Justice (DOJ) and EPA collude to strip local control and hand it to activist bureaucrats using “disparate impact” investigations to seize farmland and water rights without legislative approval or judicial due process.

You are asking the right question: “Why are unelected agencies allowed to act as police, judge, and executioner? Why has justice become partisan, and why are the courts rigged against the citizen?”

I am not just asking that question. I am building the case to eradicate the politicized enforcement architecture and restore neutral, Article III justice.

Reclaiming Our Justice System—

STRATEGY: Strike The Root

I do not offer sixteen separate bills for education, border security, trade, and property rights. I offer one constitutional restoration act that collapses the bureaucratic architecture and solves five constitutional crises simultaneously by removing the enforcement arms from politicized bureaucratic control.

THE SECOND STRIKE: The Administrative Independence Act (FEMA Model)

This is not reorganization. This is amputation.

The Administrative Independence Act establishes that critical administrative functions must be independent of politicized parent departments and accountable directly to Congress and the people. By removing FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security—where political appointees prioritized migration processing over disaster response—we create the template for depoliticizing enforcement across the federal government.

How This Single Strike Fixes Five Constitutional Crises:

Breaking The Grip On Our Children’s Education: We apply the Independence Act model to the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights—removing its weaponized enforcement arm from the Department of Education and requiring all education disputes to be adjudicated in Article III courts, not administrative tribunals. Local school boards can no longer be held hostage by bureaucratic threats.

Confronting the Fentanyl Invasion: By removing FEMA from DHS bureaucratic capture, we restore its mission to public safety rather than political processing priorities. Simultaneously, we end the Department of Justice’s selective enforcement policies and return border security to its constitutional purpose: stopping poison, not processing population.

Breaking Unfair Globalism: We dismantle the administrative trade courts and politicized United States Trade Representative enforcement mechanisms. Trade disputes must be resolved through Article III courts or legislative arbitration, not by politically appointed administrative judges who waive tariffs for connected importers while punishing domestic growers.

Your Health, Your Money (CFPB/ALJs): We abolish the Administrative Law Judge system within the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and all financial regulatory agencies. No agency may act as prosecutor, judge, and jury. All enforcement actions must proceed through Article III federal courts with the right to trial by jury, ending the star chamber proceedings that violate Fifth Amendment due process.

Securing Water and Land: We strip the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Justice of their authority to conduct “disparate impact” investigations and “environmental justice” enforcement actions that weaponize civil rights law to seize property. Such actions must be brought in Article III courts with neutral judges, not activist administrative appointees.

The Previous Leadership Contrast:

The previous leadership has sat on the House Judiciary Committee for fifteen years and never dismantled the Administrative Law Judge system. They held hearings while the star chamber proceeded. They managed the decline while the administrative state consumed our liberties.

I offer execution, not observation. I offer Schedule F—the executive authority to reclassify policy-making federal employees as at-will appointees, removing the civil service protections that shield partisan bureaucrats from accountability. Combined with the Administrative Independence Act, this dismantles the politicized administrative state by removing both the enforcement architecture and the protected personnel who weaponize it.

THE BATTLE PLAN: Your Role in Depoliticizing Justice

This is a constitutional restoration, and I need you to be my investigators and witnesses. Here is your battle plan to eradicate the Politicization of Justice:

Level 1: The Digital Warrior (For Everyone)

• Document the Weaponization: If your local school district has been threatened by Department of Education Office for Civil Rights investigations or funding cuts, screenshot the letter. Post the threat. Tag me with the question: “Is this justice, or is this bureaucratic terrorism?” Use #JusticeNotPolitics.

• Expose the Star Chamber: If you or your business has faced Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or regulatory agency enforcement through Administrative Law Judges, post the documents (redacted) showing the denial of your right to a real court and jury. Show America the administrative court corruption.

Level 2: The Constitutional Investigator (For the Committed)

• The “Civil Rights” Trap Investigation: Submit public records requests to your local school district for all correspondence with the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights regarding “discrimination” investigations or “social-emotional learning” mandates. These documents will prove the weaponization of justice to force curriculum changes. Send me the evidence.

• Map the Administrative Courts: Research whether regulatory agencies impacting District 11 (Environmental Protection Agency, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Department of Education) are using Administrative Law Judges rather than Article III courts for enforcement. Document the denial of jury trials. This is the ammunition for the Independence Act.

Level 3: The Frontline Organizer (For the Leaders)

• The Due Process Protest: Organize a gathering at your county courthouse where participants bring copies of the United States Constitution—specifically the Fifth Amendment (due process) and Seventh Amendment (jury trials). Securely shred or burn copies of Administrative Law Judge rulings that denied these constitutional rights as a symbolic rejection of the star chamber system. This demonstrates that the era of bureaucratic justice ends when we restore Article III courts.

• The Fentanyl Accountability Vigil: Hold a candlelight vigil in District 11 for victims of the fentanyl crisis. Read the names. Display the evidence showing DHS bureaucrats prioritized political processing over public safety. Document these failures and send them to my office as evidence of the systemic betrayal that the Administrative Independence Act will end.

When I stand on the House floor to introduce the Administrative Independence Act, I will not cite legal theories. I will hold up your screenshots of Department of Education threats, your Administrative Law Judge rulings denying jury trials, and your photos from the Due Process protests. I will look the Speaker in the eye and say:

“These are my constituents. Their school board was terrorized by unelected bureaucrats. Their business was fined by an Administrative Law Judge with no jury. Their child died because DHS prioritized politics over poison. The Administrative Independence Act is not mere reorganization; it is the eradication of politicized justice. Strike the root, and the branches heal.”

This is how we eradicate the Politicization of Justice and restore the neutral rule of law.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.

The Full-Scale Assault on Our Right

A corrupt political class has declared war on the First and Second Amendments. They have weaponized federal power to silence speech, punish religious faith, and disarm law-abiding citizens. This is not a political disagreement; it is a constitutional crisis.

The previous leadership has been a silent accomplice. For 15 years, they have watched as:

The First Amendment was shredded: Federal agencies collude with Big Tech to censor speech and fund ideologies that attack our history and values.
Religious liberty was criminalized: Faith-based businesses and charities face targeted regulatory harassment for living their convictions.
The Second Amendment was eroded: While violent crime surges, the focus remains on disarming responsible citizens instead of prosecuting criminals.

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

When Your Rights Disappear

This isn’t abstract. It’s the parent watching her social media post about her child’s school policy get removed as “misinformation.” It’s the small business owner facing bankruptcy for refusing to betray her religious convictions. It’s the worker fearing he’ll be fired for stating a simple biological truth. It’s the family in a rural home, knowing police are minutes away while danger is seconds away, and their right to defend themselves is under constant attack.

You look at your children and ask: “Why is my government funding the teaching of hate in their schools?” You look at your phone and ask: “Why is my voice being silenced online?” You look at your front door and ask: “Why is my right to protect the people inside it being treated as the problem?”

I am building the case not just to ask these questions, but to pass the laws that stop it.

A Three-Pronged Legislative Assault

We will not simply protest these abuses. We will outlaw them with three concrete strikes:

The DEI/CRT Defunding Act: Permanently prohibit all federal funding—including grants, contracts, and agency budgets—from being used to promote, develop, or administer Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) or Critical Race Theory (CRT) programs. We will codify President Trump’s executive actions into lasting law.

National Concealed Carry Reciprocity: Pass a federal law requiring every state to recognize the concealed carry permits of every other state, restoring the right to self-defense across state lines.

The Digital Freedom Act: Enact a permanent statutory ban prohibiting any federal agency from colluding with or coercing private technology companies to censor, de-platform, or suppress the lawful speech of American citizens. This dismantles the “censorship-industrial complex” at its source.

YOUR BATTLE PLAN TO SUPPORT THE STRIKE:

1. Document the Censorship: If your speech was removed or labeled online, screenshot it. Note the reason given. Send it to my office. We will build a public record of digital suppression.

2. Expose the Indoctrination: File public records requests with your local school district and university for all DEI/CRT training materials and contracts. Share what you find.

3. Join a “Defend the Rights Walk”: Organize or attend a local, peaceful event where citizens exercise their First and Second Amendment rights together, inviting the media to witness the broad coalition for liberty.

Send me your evidence. When I stand on the House floor, I will not debate philosophy. I will hold up your screenshots and your school’s curriculum. I will say: “This is the censorship. This is the indoctrination. These bills will stop it. Let’s vote.”

THE VERDICT

The previous leadership holds hearings on “digital discourse” while your speech is silenced. I will pass the Digital Freedom Act to sever the tie between federal agencies and social media censors.

They offer “thoughts and prayers” for the persecuted faithful. I will pass the DEI/CRT Defunding Act to cut off the federal money funding their persecution.

They pay lip service to the Second Amendment. I will pass National Concealed Carry Reciprocity to make your right to self-defense real in all 50 states.

They have been a spectator for 15 years as your rights were erased. I will be the vote that restores them.

My first fifteen days will begin the fight to reclaim the First and Second Amendments.

I am Ivette Palomo, and I am running to bring The American Kitchen Table back to Washington—so that your rights are secured by the Constitution, not erased by bureaucrats and biased algorithms.

Strike the Root. Secure the Table.
