Please, voters of Atlanta; lend me your energy!!!

Seems like you plan to spend too much, not that that had ever stopped Reed or that other woman before him. Being a nerd is more than just being interested in nerdy things.It also involves problem solving skills, like figuring out how to finance everything you want without crippling the economy. That said, many of us are drawn in the direction of Ayn Rand as a natural progression in time, and so our objective is not to violate life, liberty, or estate. Anyways best of luck, be sure to vote pro-life.
And um, if couldn't hurt to pass an ordinance making it illegal for Federal Judge Eleanor Ross to enter Fulton County. Just have the APD waiting at the federal courthouse, and send her corrupt behind to Jackson; she should be considered public enemy #1 for her crimes against the federal constitution.

Thx for the post.

Tentative budgeting: I think a non-politician will have difficulty spending with the same..velocity as someone entrenched in that world, and believe my proposals to spend will be heavily scrutinized and most importantly, transparent and open to public discourse.

My primary goal in governance is breaking up status quo because I believe these systems in place are contrived and unfair for the people. I am highlighting corporate monied interests being the driving force in our government by fighting it. I am all about creative problem solving. I don't see other candidates proposing road traffic flow fixes with smart lights and other tweaks (ie: all red lights as like stop signs, bikes encouraged to use sidewalks, public info campaign on proper 'zippering', etc..). I think as important as anything I plan to do for the city, is the message me winning would send to status quo: "We don't care to vote for who you tell us to, let's give this hippy with a bunch of pipe-dreams a shot".

Also about:
-Implementing e-voting/online discussion forums where all ATLiens can take part in driving change.
-Jumpstarting our monopolized, stagnant communication infrastructure; getting everyone in the city fast, cheap and most importantly; modern internet to ensure no one is left behind for digital opportunities of today/tomorrow.
-Shooting to shake up the economy substantially via implementing a Basic Income to end wage slavery and begin a world where everyone has power to follow their passions.
-Eminent domaining some luxury apartments for fair access to more affordable housing to help tackle gentrification.
-Not waging a drug war on our people any longer.

Pro-choice, pro-liberty, anti-powers that be.

I think you have a better chance in California than Fulton. Maybe these things may appeal to south fulton, but you are going to find difficulty in the milton/north fulton area. Your policies could be the straw that finally backs that camels back and splits them in two, if you were given the chance.
I don't really see that you are pro-liberty by all these taxes, and especially with eminent domain. Taking property/money without permission is not pro-liberty; I mean how can I afford to use my private jet to tell everyone across the world the imminent and irreparable dangers of climate change. Aside from those bogged down by contracts, you will see those with wealth moving or relocating to Cobb and Gwinette or to chapter 11 bankruptcy, The powers to be crowd is what helps create the jobs, and the tax base which you are so eager to exploit-who may leave of their own volition to save their money. In contrast, the basic income for all idea is likely going to lead poorer folks from outside the county to move in and require the county to spend more money or cut back on what is spend-and anti-austerity protests can easily break out in riots. Certainly its fine to keep business power outside of the political sphere and not to grant them any special favors, but don't discount the positive effects many have on the city as you don't want to scare them away with tax/spending/takings policies. Since it seems clear that you are fine with spending other peoples money, you still need to do so in a way that the growth of wealth creation exceeds the growth of the spending. Certainly you don't want your city to become the next Venezuela.
As far as traffic improvements (asides from the highways falling apart), you may want to wait before spending too much as technology is changing to driverless. I see your idea for high speed net for all, but that is giving a lot of money to some of the largest powers that be when there is no need to. The public libraries tend to offer computer access and internet, likewise many stores and restaurants offer free wifi. Even the airport does which is accessible by rail.
Tis a good thing to end the drug war.
I could never knowingly vote for anyone who is pro-choice. If Petersen won the libertarian party [LP] primary, the LP would have got my vote. Johnson won the LP primary, so trump got my vote.

if you don't like what I say, if you reach the debates you can at least prepare for what others may argue.

I dunno who all is running, but I think it is in error to use the term nerd here.
