Agriculture Platform

The average American Farm that has $250,000 in sales only nets about $25,000 from farming. That same farmer only made about $1,700 from farming — or about 82 cents an hour for a 40-hour work week, and that’s with government support. With the advent in 2007 of corn being passed as the number one cash crop, by over $12.5 million dollars, its time to legalize marijuana. If it hasn’t been done by 2020, Joel Castillo promises to take half of the 92.9 million acres of land being used for a plant that can’t even be digested and replace it with one that will keep our citizens happy, hungry and questioning the world around them. Its time to stop our children from giving their money to Columbian farmers and put it in the pockets of the hardworking american farmers. Joel Castillo – common sense for the common man.

Education Platform

Lets face it, education is important. And it’s about time something was done about it. The Castillo-Terryson plan for 2020 is more of everything. Starting with this, more of you parents taking responsibility for your kids and teaching them something. Education starts at home and when you don’t show an interest, neither will they. No matter how many more teachers, books or tests we put into the system in the future it won’t help. So from now until 2020, when Joel Castillo runs for office, why don’t you do your part. Make sure your child does their homework and actually goes to school. Try enrolling them in an after school activity, and if they receive poor grades, punish them for it. Joel Castillo – common sense for the common man.
