Hello Kentucky, PDF Format of Speech

I may not be a familiar face to many of you regulars in KY politics and National politics; however, I thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself and to share in my excitement that I will be running against Rand Paul in the 2022 US Senate Republican Primary. My name is Tami Stainfield and I live in Marion KY, as a Stainfield I am a five generation American and some of my grandparent’s family history may extend back to the beginning of our Nation. My family’s historical names include Webster, Fuller, Furber, Stapleton, Clinton.  All of my grandparents lived through the World War I, II and the Great Depression. Of interest I have a Polish-Catholic grandfather who was born in 1894 in Krakow Poland, the town he was born in is recognized throughout the World, for it is where the Holocaust took place. My deceased mother was born in 1938 thus my grandfather had already left Poland before the Genocide took place.  

My mother and father moved to Cadiz KY from New Hampshire in 1998.  I was born in 1962 and I was raised and educated in rural NH. I attended Indiana State in 1980 where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computers and I also have a Master’s degree in Development with a focus on politics from Wits University in South Africa.

With this being my first opportunity to speak to the voters of KY, the media and the members of the Republican and Democrat Parties. I thought it would be appropriate to share that my objective in running for office is to help stop the political and media nightmare that is producing anger, isolation, hate, civil unrest and financial hardships for American citizens. Americans are living in a perpetual state of media and party conflicts. Thus, I hope I can contribute in helping the Republican Party with altering and improving the current hostile political environment that Americans are now constantly subject too.

With shock and concern we are witnessing where the majority of Americans are being deprived of their constitutional right to life, liberty, law and property, these rights are granted to citizens in the 14th and 5th Amendments of the USA Constitution.  Additionally, our nation is faced with a cost-of-living crisis which further hinders a citizen’s ability to afford, secure and maintain life, liberty, law and property.

KY has a median income of $50,600 with a staggering 16.3% of its population living in poverty, ranking KY 46^th in the United States. The number of KY residents living in poverty is approximately 725,419 -- 2019: 4,309,501; White 577,810 (79.7%); Black 94,283 (13%); Hispanic 41,964 (5.8%); Asian 9,106 (1.3%); Native Indian 2,256 (.31%).

There are places in policy debates where the use of percent of race is appropriate; however, I am committed to proving that individuals who fall within the majority populations and other sub minority populations are often abused when government officials and media coverage focus on utilizing percent of race for determining coverage, activism, funding and policy action. I am committed to helping all citizens of the United States and all residents of KY. I repeat in KY of the 726 thousand residents living in poverty 578 thousand are white and 94 thousand are black. The 94,000 blacks living in poverty have a 27.8% of race. The 578,000 whites living in poverty have a 15.8% of race.

I will advocate for all residents of KY and all citizens who are in poverty, not just the population with the highest percent of race. The morals and ethics are heartbreaking when political leaders want to only assist, focus and cover 94,000 blacks for they have the highest percent of race and ignore the 578,000 whites living in poverty for their percent of race is lower than the black percent of race. The abuse of focusing on % of race has also been witnessed when analyzing healthcare, education, deaths, murders, voting and prison demographics.   We must fight to stop this unethical practice of focusing resources on those with the highest percent of race – government officials and media should show concern and activism towards all citizens.

Blacks are only 8% of the entire population of KY 338,665; 85% of the entire population of KY are white 3.6 million. American Community Survey 2019. KY 1790: (Slaves 11,800) Whites 61,000; 1820: (Slaves 126,000) Whites 434,000; 1850: (Slaves 210,000) Whites 761,000, Free colored 6,400; Ohio 1850 - 1,00,055 whites; no slaves, 25,220 Free colored. https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1850/1850a/1850a-02.pdf

USA census 2020 KY 4,468,402; Hispanic 161,506 (3.6%); White 3,776,055 (84.5%); Black 349,542 (7.8%); Asian 64,830 (1.5%); Native Indians 6878 (.2 %). 2019 Data used for KY poverty; KY 4,309,501; Hispanic 156,645 (3.6%); White 3,654,963 (84.8%); Black 338,665 (7.9%); Asians 63,918 (1.48%); Native Indians 8,894 (.21%).

One of the primary reasons I decided to run for office was the growing observation that a number of Americans with high incomes were still struggling to afford children, housing, college, energy, transportation. We as a society have reached a mathematical breaking point where those with high incomes are challenged to afford life in America and with that fact it exposes how many of those with middle or lower incomes are living a life filled with severe financial and psychological hardships which is approaching or has reached a level where those citizens are living in a state of oppression.

The higher incomes that many Americans secured for the past 30 years to help cover the increases in home prices, home repairs, college and car expenses were not enough to achieve the goal of providing adequate and stable incomes to live a common life in America. Furthermore, the ability to raise the rest of Americans incomes was forgotten and it also appears that it is now mathematically impossible to raise the salaries of workers in some industries to the level that would provide them with the financial means to afford life, liberty, law, property. One can see the crisis in rural towns and cities where home values are high, you’re now advocating that only those with wealth can now live in those communities and furthermore no one with a common job can reside in those towns and cities.

Until the political leaders understand $15 dollars an hour will not solve the crisis; as you raise incomes the cost of housing and life still continue to escalate cancelling any gains the person made from securing higher wages. Truly this cycle of ignorance must end.

When one learns how our parents and their parents and their parents had property, life, law, and liberty and it was achieved with very low incomes and with little or no formal education one can start understanding why others are scared, angry, disgusted and filled with hate at the modern elected officials who failed to protect life, liberty, law and property for the next generation of Americans. We have reached an economic state where many or most Americans can’t afford what their multi-generational families had due to Clintons aristocratic economic strategies that focused on FEW and "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS".

I can still hear Hillary saying during her campaign only college graduates will be able to afford liberty, therefor we must get more Americans to college, maybe that philosophy is why she lost the election. I want KY and America to know I will fight and prove all can achieve Liberty if a government is competent.

I ask, did you know in 1940 there were 118,214,870 million whites in America and 87,314,885 million of those whites NEVER attended high school; and only 5,858,117 whites, which is 5% of all whites went to four years or more of college?

In 1940 there were 12,865,518 blacks in America and 11,878,850 had NEVER attended high school. 166,924 blacks went to four years of college which is 1.3%.

In summary, in 1940 only 24% of Americans attended High School and 95% of Americans never attended college. In 1940 most family mortgages ranged from $500 to $ 5000 and there were only about 400 mortgages over $20,000.

Now in the 21st century we have a significant number of Americans living in those same houses that Americans lived in during the 1940’s; however, they cannot afford the same house and land. I do not believe the politicians of 1940’s could have imagined that 80 years later USA government officials would be advocating that only people in college can secure property, life, liberty and access to law.

To once of had a Nation where almost all that owned property had no high school education and only 5% of the entire USA population had college education one can now understand Americans growing disgust with elected officials, for this is an economic path to ensuring civil unrest and institutionalizing inequality.

US Census 1940: 25 years older; In 1940 white 30,899,885 million HAD attended high school which is 26.1% and black 986,668 attended high school is 7.1%. Thus, 87,314,885 whites never went to college at all and 11,878,850 blacks never went to high school in 1940. Attended 4 years or more of college in 1940: white 5,858,117 which is 5% and 166,924 black which is 1.3%. In 1940 only 24% of Americans attended High School and 95% of Americans never attended college. https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1940/housing-volume-4/housing-v4p1.pdf https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/educational-attainment/cps-historical-time-series.html

I believe these modern political strategies that Clinton democrat's and Harvard economists have utilized to govern with are practices that violate the USA Constitution’s guarantee clause which argues the government cannot operate on mob rule principles and the 'form of government' cannot be aristocratic, monarchy or oligarchy in nature. 

Please understand a person can be an aristocrat' in America and live an aristocrat life, however, the United States and its States cannot have an 'aristocratic form of government'. Our Nation has never witnessed such a public display of wealth and greed like what we have experienced over the last 25 years. I can still remember the TV programming as a child, we had few if any shows which demonstrated or taught wealth and aristocratic class principles. The only two shows about being ‘rich’ I ever saw or remember in NH was Dynasty which started in 1981 and then as a young adult I saw the 1984 show called Life Styles of the Rich Famous. The shows actually created an old unattractive view of wealth – a bunch of old people, I had no interest in ever dreaming, wanting or wishing for such a life, for my common life was more exciting and attractive.

Furthermore, when there was common wealth it was not flashy or abusive; even sports which I loved was limited to listening to the radio and then a few games on TV during the weekend. In 1980’s the star athletes’ life was as common as those living in my home town. Our nation was born off of a common life and those concepts and principles existed until mid-1990’s.

We can’t deny the movement to a public display of wealth and excess occurred when Clinton took office and thereafter, we saw Harvard economists with the media lead a movement away from common lives and common wealth. We have had to endure watching an endless desire to milk every stone and industry for wealth. We have watched powerful corrupt men hand exorbitant salaries to those who attended aristocratic systems of education and we have witnessed the best or most skilled jobs being given to those undeserving and violent. The last 25 years has been a horrific demonstration of abusive economics and it destroyed all the enormous gains and reasoning for having quality public education. The original reason for math, english, science, gym, music, shop, art, home-economics, history, etc., was to teach children how to live a more productive life in America.

Our Constitution was formed on common law, common jobs, common economics and common life for a reason; the framers had no interest in succumbing to mob rule, monarchy, aristocratic or oligarchy systems of governance. I am running for office to bring the mathematical facts to prove this focus on getting rich has destabilized our nation and it is a violation of our right to not be governed by aristocratic principles. Americans have the right to not be subject to systems of preferment, and lastly how did we ever reach the point where only citizens who attend college can live in a society happily.

Due to this change in our American vision, we now are faced with violence and hate for the government’s economic and housing principles which are based on expectations of wealth and if you do not have wealth; you’re now going to live a permanent life of poverty, void of the rights to life, liberty, property and law. The excessive wealth and the rise in costs have created a terrible dynamic of securing systems of preferment due to the fact that the next generation can’t afford starts up costs, they can’t afford property till the age of 30 and they have no assets to afford the high-priced goods associated with business development and start-ups.

Furthermore, those with wealth are now sought for all opportunities for they are the only ones with cash and power. One generation got the chance and now they take all chances for the cost of living is too high for the next generation to participate fairly in this economy. Furthermore, the need for cash and then the limited accessibility to secure cash due to the high cost of living has allowed large foreign based companies the means to enter the USA markets, for Americans can’t afford the cost of running the company or they can’t find an American who has the funds to purchase the company.

The disparities in income across States and the disparities in cost of living across States has become a crisis, a terrible moment for our large nation. The hate is growing for only a few can achieve life, liberty, law, property, and happiness which is truly unbelievable yet true.

I want KY and Americans to know I support a citizen and a militia’s right to bear arms – the Democrats and media’s desire to ignore the reasons behind why men are filled with hate and killing themselves and others is of grave concern, to believe the issue is access to a gun is immature, heartless and it implies you in the media and Democrat party are superior in nature to men filled with hate. To believe the solution or method to stop violence is more gun regulations is ignorance and it also can be seen as a form of violence.

The reason humans are killing at a rate never seen before is the society they live in is abusive, when do leaders understand men can’t be proud when they are put down by societal structures. Furthermore, men become violent when living in aristocratic based societies for the objective of that system is to make others feel inferior. Leaders have forgotten the whole reason for systems of equality is to address a humans need and want to feel equal to others.

With grave concern we have been witnessing grown men and women in the government and media taunting citizens with so called expert opinions. Their objective appears to be to incite others by insulting them with claims they are racist, xenophobic, uneducated, unstable and unworthy humans. This strategy of debating can only produce more hate and civil unrest.

Americans also no longer understand why they have lost their jobs, their nation and their companies to foreign persons and foreign interests. Fellow Americans are now insulting fellow Americans with claims foreigners are more skilled than them and in fact they are not more skilled. Again, the reason why hate is growing throughout America is because the evidence to support these endless insults is not factual in nature.

Americans have to listen to others calling them xenophobic, which is a term defined by Harvard’s Huntington – it is where globalization has created an environment where citizens of a nation do not like or approve of foreigners taking a local’s job, land and culture; that observation at face value is true. However somehow, we now have leaders telling the locals that the foreigners should have that right to take their job, land and culture and they should embrace and accept this new form of governance or be left behind.

Since I had a long career in selling, I can only laugh at how someone from an elite aristocratic college has got others to spread the message that locals should allow foreigners to take their jobs, land and culture and it is justifiable and it should be celebrated. I think it is revolting and there should be regulations to stop such abuse.

The last 25 years we have seen a terrible movement of placing foreign-borns and children of foreign parents into elite jobs which carry the responsibility of advocating for all Americans. One who is educated must understand that to be able to understand an American life or to understand how an American life has changed, you must have access to people in your life who have experienced multiple generations of life in America. In a study of math and probability I as a five generation American find it almost impossible that the first two minorities ever put into the White House were children from foreign born fathers and the first women VP was born from two foreign born parents one from Tami L India and the other from Jamaica.

Any highly educated person in political thought can understand the questions or observations associated with why the first minorities weren’t from our native minority populations in America or from border nations. The world must learn that the overwhelming majority of multigenerational Americans understand there are millions of highly educated minorities throughout America from the native Indians, to the native Chinese of San Francisco, to the native Blacks from New England to the South; and to the native Hispanics populations that existed in the South. I want politicians and the media to understand multigenerational minorities and multigeneration whites have no idea what you elected officials are trying to achieve except creating hate and telling us we must accept Global Apartheid.

In response to globalization, I defined Global Apartheid:

Where, a small group of individuals from different countries, nationalities, religions, and races use propaganda, fear and power to segregate countries, corporations, organizations and individuals for the benefit of a few.

I will reposition the discourse on xenophobia. Citizens should not have their jobs taken by foreigners when there are Americans who are qualified for those jobs and careers. No justification exists for taking over another nations culture when you understand the history of the world.

I will continue to confront Democrats and Republicans who want to place foreign borns and children of foreign parents into the Whitehouse and into USA Cabinet posts over highly-qualified multigenerational Americans. Our fellow Americans are more qualified; which once was the legal precedence for discrimination claims in the United States.  Furthermore, these are people who believe in and love our common nation and they also believe in equality for all.

Why was the first women VP ever in the history of America a child from two foreign-born parents? How did a woman who advocated for legalizing abortions up to the mothers’ delivery date and denying medical care to children born alive get elected into office? This is alarming, and outright insulting to all multigenerational American women and all multigenerational minorities.

Lastly, I spent 7 years in a nation where the minority once ruled and oppressed the majority, and that nation is South Africa. I will fight to protect the interests and cultures of the majority in America, Africa, China, and in all Nations. At the same time, I recognize the interests of all minorities in all nations shall also be protected. Even in the example of Africa there are 54 nations and each nation in Africa has numerous unique black cultures.

We must stop creating hate and stop advocating that the majority interests can’t exist or be prominent for one reason, the majority of the citizens deserve life and happiness too. Equality was never about suppressing the majority’s interests or their cultures it was about ensuring the minority had their interests and cultures upheld too.

Interestingly, the first time I ever heard of the word RAND was when I needed to purchase goods in South Africa, Rand is the official currency of South Africa. Thus, when I returned to KY in 2010, I was surprised to see an eye doctor named Rand speaking to students about political philosophy at KY colleges and then soon after I watched him became a United States Senator. I hope Rand and KY voters will welcome my participation in the upcoming Republican Primary.

If you took the time to read this document, I truly appreciate. I recognize there are numerous subjects not covered, from the unconstitutional and abusive justice system we have become subject too; to topics on abortions, sports, voting, covid, and many more subjects – however, I hope this will be a start in understanding what type of candidate I am and why you might consider following me or covering my campaign.

In closing, I would like to share the Supreme Court of the United States definition of Liberty:

Without doubt, it denotes not merely freedom from bodily restraint, but also the right of the individual to contract, to engage in any of the common occupations of life, to acquire useful knowledge, to marry, establish a home and bring up children, to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and generally to enjoy those privileges long recognized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.
