Priorities & Governance: “First and foremost, "AMAG is AMAG" is a movement I think all of us can relate. "Americans Make America Great" is "A Movement Against Greed". With the help of the people, we can be reminded of the greatness we already have. America cannot "be great again" because it is the daily actions of the people that already make it a wonderful place to be.”

This is a statement against greed" and anyone who exploits our children, veterans, senior citizens, animals, or the people for personal gain alone should not hold a position of power.”
