The American system of education, K–12 through college and beyond, suffers from major underappreciation of scholarship, as well as a lack of academic competition, especially at the high school and college levels. The brawn-over-brain and physical-appearance-over-character culture in educational institutions critically lowers America’s ability to (a) stay ahead of our foreign adversaries in military technology, (b) sustain democracy, economic progress, advancements in the field of medicine and other sciences, and arts, and lowers our international prestige. Accordingly, major advancements in these areas call for raising the prestige of scholarship and other cerebral pursuits in America over the prestige of more superficial achievements.

The great French historian and political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville linked in his 19th-century book Democracy in America the greatness of then still a young nation to her goodness, grounded in the deep religiosity of the American people. Decades of domination of American academia by leftists, intent on secularizing America, have undermined morality, sense of personal responsibility, and patriotism in American society, which in turn has made America weaker. The educational system must teach young Americans about the importance of this linkage. Religious education without coercing students to accept any one set of religious beliefs does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. At the same time, it is important to educate American youth that Darwinism is a scientific hypothesis which has not and cannot be unequivocally proven true, nor dispositive of the Judeo-Christian biblical worldview. Congress must overthrow through legislation the 2003 federal judiciary’s overreach in Glassroth v. Moore, 335 F.3d (11th Cir. 2003), which mandated the removal of a monument to the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the Heflin-Tolbert Judicial Building, housing the Alabama Supreme Court in Montgomery, Alabama, on a terribly flawed argument of the federal court that the monument violated the Establishment Clause—even as the Ten Commandments are the cornerstone of three separate world religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and are not dismissive of other religions. If anything, the ruling itself violates the Establishment Clause as a religion-based government imposition.

Congress must link federal grants to academic institutions to those institutions’ stress on scholarship over a plethora of superficial pursuits connected to students’ attendance, such as Greek life and partying in colleges and the hype of proms and partying in high schools. As a lifelong educator, Dr. Roginsky would introduce legislation to drastically increase federal incentives for academic competition in K–12 and colleges, especially in the STEM fields, and would prohibit inhibition of religious freedom on the campuses of colleges and the K–12 system, which would help make America more moral, therefore stronger, happier, and more prosperous. The funding must also mandate the teaching of the history of government in America and other Western nations, with an emphasis on the sad experiences of Western nations with authoritarian systems of socialism and fascism. The funding would incentivize implementation in the K–12 system of educational tools such as olympiads and other forms of academic competition, especially in the STEM fields. For K–12 students who do not aspire to build their future professional careers in academic fields but are more interested in blue-collar work, Dr. Roginsky would include in the funding incentives a requirement that the K–12 system offer exciting opportunities to teach various trades and skills, such as operation of machine-shop equipment and hands-on training in plumbing, car repair, construction, electrical and HVAC installation and repair, as well as hospitality-industry services. In this evolving, dangerous world, we must offer training to our high school students in areas that would prepare them to help defend the nation from its enemies. The war in Ukraine has demonstrated the great importance of UAV warfare in modern military conflict. It would be both exciting and useful for the future defenders of America to learn the skills of navigating and attacking adversary targets on computer simulators.

The best performance of a free-market economic system requires competition and integrity in the market arena, which have been significantly undermined by a lack of legislation and enforcement mechanisms to ensure adherence of business enterprises to these once-central principles of the American economy.

To restore fair competition and integrity in the conduct of business—big and small—Dr. Roginsky plans to introduce legislation to bring back Republican President Theodore Roosevelt’s Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, and to mandate severe punishment of fraudulent business practices, especially where business transactions are interstate and subject to congressional control pursuant to the Commerce Clause of Article I of the Constitution.

Tort litigation

The out-of-control, usually frivolous tort lawsuits stifle innovation and profitability of businesses in America, enriching a class of injury lawyers at the expense of the entire nation. A way to rein in these abuses is to make the tort litigation industry less profitable. Dr. Roginsky intends to introduce legislation that would tax tort attorneys’ income from liability lawsuits at a much higher rate than they currently pay, and would make such trial lawyers bear the legal costs of defendants in cases in which the defendants win.

America has endured for many generations immigration from countries whose national ethics, culture, and religious practices are at odds with those upon which this nation was founded and attained its greatness. Such immigration has undermined the moral fabric of American society and has corrupted American business and politics, poisoning the entire culture of the nation, as well as seriously contributing to the nation’s socio-economic decline.

To address this pernicious trend, Dr. Roginsky plans to introduce an immigration bill to:

• A. Mandate the State Department to implement quotas on foreign entry into the U.S. tied to countries’ indexes of social corruption—even for education, tourism, and family reunification, but especially work and business.
• B. Amend the oath of citizenship and institute an oath of permanent residency to include a pledge by immigrants becoming naturalized citizens and those receiving permanent residency in the United States to be law-abiding, respectful of American national history and culture, and to conduct themselves honorably in socio-economic, academic, political, and business affairs, acknowledging that failure to honor the terms of the oaths may be grounds for revocation of citizenship and permanent residency, followed by deportation from the United States.
• C. Mandate that government organizations, businesses, and landlords verify the legitimacy of citizenship and immigrant status of individuals applying for work, living accommodations, and similar arrangements, and decline applications of those who cannot prove that they are legal residents of the United States. To streamline verification, Dr. Roginsky’s immigration bill would obligate states’ departments of motor vehicles to verify that applicants for driver’s licenses and identity cards prove they are legal residents in the U.S., and then indicate residency status on driver’s licenses and identification cards. Such identification could help prevent voter fraud, ensuring that only qualified individuals participate in federal, state, and municipal elections, and help law enforcement and courts determine whether to refer naturalized citizens and immigrants in breach of their terms of stay to immigration authorities for possible revocation of citizenship, permanent residency, and immigrant visas and subsequent deportation.

For her unparalleled legal scholarship and loyalty to the Constitution, in 1985 President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Edith Jones to serve as chief judge of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and in April of that year she was confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Twenty years ago, when Jones spoke to the Harvard Law School Federalist Society, she stated that the American legal system is corrupt beyond recognition. The corruption of the legal system has resulted in countless unchecked abuses of the fundamental rights of Americans, including the most vulnerable elderly and children, as well as the breakup of American families. Dr. Roginsky would introduce a bill to initiate a wide-scale congressional investigation into such abuses.

There are a number of reasons the American legal system has been allowed to become so depraved; the principal ones can be summed up as lack of accountability, and even total unaccountability of the legal profession, resulting from: A. Multiple Supreme Court rulings legislating from the bench absolute immunity of judges and prosecutors from criminal and civil lawsuits for misconduct in their official capacity, no matter how egregious; and B. self-regulation of judges and lawyers by panels of judges and lawyers who disregard complaints from victims of judicial and attorney misconduct.

To address such lack of accountability, Dr. Roginsky will introduce a Legal Profession Accountability Bill (LPAB) to: A. Overturn all forms of absolute official immunity and mandate impeachment and removal of federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, for issuing unconscionable decisions—as prescribed by Constitution framer Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Nos. 79 and 81; and B. mandate replacement of self-regulation of the legal profession by citizens’ panels, chaired by licensed legal professionals.

The migration of criminals from states with poor law enforcement and bad social ethics, typically governed by liberals—like New York, New Jersey, and California—degrades the quality of life in peaceful, business-friendly states like Virginia and other similarly situated states heretofore populated by more law-abiding, conscientious people. Part of the problem is the cumbersomeness of inquiry into the criminal backgrounds and eviction records of such out-of-state migrants. The problem can be significantly remedied by creating an easily accessible nationwide database of criminal convictions and evictions of U.S. residents—especially if state agencies issuing driver’s licenses and identification cards are mandated to encode these forms of identification with simple indicators of felonious convictions. The resulting difficulties that out-of-state criminals would encounter in securing employment and residential accommodations in states of higher social culture would substantially inhibit migration of criminals to such states.

Dr. Roginsky would introduce a bill in Congress to create a nationwide, easily accessible database of criminal convictions of U.S. residents, and would obligate state courts to supply criminal conviction data into the database.

The Mexican border wall isn’t complete; completing the remaining roughly 1,300 miles would cost on the order of $60 billion, taking into account land acquisition for road and fence construction, materials, and construction. Mexican land and labor costs are significantly lower than American costs, and Mexico would stand to benefit economically if the U.S. government outsourced this work to Mexican construction workers. Dr. Roginsky would introduce a bill in Congress to appropriate funding to outsource construction of the remaining portion of the Mexican border wall to Mexico.

Problem

A high percentage of Americans in rural areas of Va-07—even in developed, sprawling counties such as Prince William, Stafford, and Spotsylvania—suffer from inadequate access to affordable transportation and diversity of desirable start-to-end routes, which causes great difficulty for individuals—especially ailing senior citizens—to reach shopping, medical facilities, social gatherings, and more. The same problem exists in rural areas countrywide.

Approach

School districts in Virginia and other states have many decommissioned (due to age and disrepair) school buses that municipal, county, and state governments, aided by federal funding, could inexpensively purchase, repair, and repurpose for public transportation. Municipal and state governments, aided by federal funding, can also purchase, repair, and convert decommissioned vans and buses from public auto auctions that operate in every state. Repurposed vehicles can be arranged into networks of public transport to augment existing systems and connect rural America to more developed urban areas. Dr. Roginsky would introduce a bill in Congress to finance such programs pursuant to Congress’s authority under the Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) and the General Welfare Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1).

Congressional investigation into rampant abuses in nursing home, foster care, and adoption industries.

Voting in America is not only a fundamental First Amendment right, but, as The Supreme Court recognized, a right, on which the preservation of all other rights of the American people depends. However, this right can be most effectively realized only if the election processes are honest, fair and allow the candidates to offer their services to the electorate, the prospective master and employer of the candidates to present their credential and platforms in a free, competitive environment.

The current election processes allow candidates to lie to the voters about their past and credentials, while offering as their platforms nothing other than the respective political parties’ mission statements and the parties superficial sloganeering and narratives and nomination prospects that are tied more to the candidates’ political connections—often nepotistic—rather than merit-based. Glaring examples of such phenomena have been recently displayed by the Democratic Party of Virginia in the First District’s primary race to unseat the incumbent Republican Rob Wittman, representing the First District in the U.S. House of Representatives. The ethnically and religiously Indian representative of the Virginia Democratic Party on DNC Attorney Harry Khanna arranged for his ethnically and culturally Russian wife Lisa Vedernikova-Khanna (LVK) to receive preferential treatment in the Virginia Democratic Party’s First District primary from various First District’s Democratic committees, chaired by Virginia Democratic Party insiders with personal political ambitions and agendas. As a result, Attorney Harry Khanna arranged for his ethnically and culturally Russian wife Lisa Vedernikova Khanna to obtain numerous speaking engagements before various First District’s Democratic Party committees, chaired by dishonest, politically motivated individuals with personal political ambitions. As a result, LVK received a disproportionate to other Democratic Party candidates number of speaking arrangements, where she peddled nothing but utter fraud about her background, and spewed the DNC slogans, without offering a single specific, constructive plank for what she would do for the people of the First District in Congress, and without a chance for her competitors to question and expose her lies. LVK’s fraud even received support from politically Left Virginia media outlets, such as Virginia Scope and The Richmond Times Dispatch (RTD).

Harry Khanna’s peer unethical lawyers, the constitutional rights’ busting corrupt Henrico County Commonwealth’s attorney Shannon Taylor and ambulance chaser Andrew Luchetti also received favorable and misleading reviews in RTD and other Virginia leftist media print. If the April 21 gerrymandering referendum in Virginia succeeds, however imperfect, Republican Congressman Rob Wittman will likely be replaced in the U.S. House of Representatives by a far worse, complete fraud Democrat following the November midterm elections, who has neither interest of their constituents as a priority, nor the instincts and motivation of an American patriot.

Restoration of Election Integrity Act (REIA)

In order to restore integrity of the election process in America, Dr. Roginsky will, if elected, sponsor a bill in Congress, titled Restoration of Election Integrity Act (REIA), which will

1. extend the criminal penalties of the federal fraud statutes to cover fraud by political candidates, including the wire fraud statutes for fraudulent Internet campaigning and campaign websites;
2. will mandate that the political parties provide for fair and competitive primary races; and
3. will mandate temporary, or even permanent suspension of the broadcasting and print licenses by the FCC of the media outlets providing political candidates with unfair, preferential coverage, without giving their opponents a fair equal opportunity to refute published misleading information and criticize the political platforms of the opponents.

It is well known that mental illness has reached epidemic proportion in America, and that it is an overwhelming contributor to crime, including mass shootings, homelessness, suicide, unemployment, and break-up of families due to mental illness.

In most cases, the close relatives of mentally ill individuals on the verge of becoming a contributor to such statistics know that their loved ones are in great need of mental treatment, but are unable to do anything about it because the existing laws make them powerless to force the troubled family member to seek psychiatric treatment, as the threshold for committing an individual to mental institution is too high for the caring family to overcome. Even when the relatives call law enforcement to take the mentally ill relative to ER for mental evaluation, the ER doctor simply releases the psychotic individual on their assurance that they are fine and the relatives are just out to get them. Sooner or later, the mentally ill (virtually incompetent) individual harms themselves, or others, because without treatment their condition only deteriorates. Dr. Roginsky has personal painful family experience with this dysfunctional system. In Congress, he will introduce a bill empowering the family of a seriously ill person to commit their relative to a mental institution for a sufficient period of evaluation and subsequent treatment of the relative by mental health professionals, better equipped to diagnose and treat the mentally ill than a general medical practitioner—sometimes without a nurse practitioner at the ER.

Most Americans receive scam calls on their mobile phones daily, usually multiple times a day. The callers typically speak with South Asian and South-East Asian accents. The scams tend to target elderly and poor Americans. South and South-East Asian countries have large well-organized calling centers whose sole purpose is to defraud Westerners, especially Americans. In 2024 alone, the total cost from such scams to the defrauded Americans was nearly $10 billion, and this trend does not show any signs of abating. Dr. Roginsky would sponsor a bill in Congress to authorize the president to seize all assets and impose the highest possible tariffs against the countries housing such operations in order to compensate the Americans who fell prey to this fraud, as well as to pressure the governments of these nations to close down the scam organizations.

Against enemy states posing imminent, or evolving threats to American security, Presidents Bill Clinton and G.W. Bush could, but did not prevent the medieval communist North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and missile technology for their delivery. As a result, North Korea has repeatedly threatened and even attacked our Asian-Pacific democratic allies South Korea and Japan as well as developed nuclear ICBMs capable of reaching the United States, a capability the North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un already used to threaten the United States with nuclear attacks.

President Trump properly and timely responded by invading Venezuela and removing its hostile to the U.S. socialist dictator Nikolas Maduro, before Putin’s ally allowed our enemy Russia to deploy on Venezuela intermediate ballistic missiles with tactical nuclear weapons capable of reaching deep into the US territory. Donald Trump also wisely acted to prevent an equal, or greater enemy of America Iran from assembling nuclear and missile technologies that would pose existential threat not only to our allies in the Middle East, but our European NATO allies, as well as the United States. The treacherous Democratic lawmakers in Congress have done everything to tie the president’s hands and block his ability to act in the interests of national security in both Venezuela and Iran. Dr. Roginsky would sponsor legislation in Congress that would a. make it easier for the US presidents to act expeditiously by all means at his/her disposal, including military to stop our national enemies from building offensive weapons for the purpose of potentially harming the American people and b. would authorize the president to take possession of the enemies’ natural resources (oil in the cases of Venezuela and Iran) to compensate the United States for the cost of the neutralizing operations.

Multiple American presidents ignored the threat to our Asian allies South Korea and Japan, as well as the future threat to America
