Police Accountability
A. Bill of Rights Testing
B. Criminalize Enhancement Charges
C. Establish Citizen's Complaint Authority Boards
D. Require Statewide “Shop With A Cop” Programs

D. Be Fair to Independent Candidates.
Internet for Everybody
A. Provide Internet and Community broadcasting for all working people.
B. Adhere to the Principle of Net Neutrality.
C. Post all old microfilm newspapers and other historic info on the Internet.
Stronger Union Protections
Pass the Employee Free Choice Act for Kentucky so all Kentuckians get to vote, at least once in our lifetimes, on unionizing.
Dethrone The King: Nationalize Coal
A. Pass the energy reduction bill, where a certain percentage of Kentucky's energy has to come from clean sources, not Coal, Oil, or Nuclear.
B. Require all sludge ponds: 1) be completely dried out; 2) be sealed with a double liner of clay and a synthetic material; 3) have groundwater monitoring, and; 4) have a collection and containment system put in place in case of a spill.
C. Work on a plan to use eminent domain for public use to assume ownership of Kentucky's coal.
Eradicate Poverty/Fix The Economy/Keep Kentucky Working
A. Assemble a team of grant writers (consider internships) to aggressively go after every grant possible. So far the 61st District has missed opportunities in technology, nursing, libraries, welcome centers, justice grants, drug rehabilitation, women's shelters, etc. We need to secure more Obama Bucks
B. Keep Unemployment Benefits and Food Stamps in Full Operation
C. Make Housing a Guaranteed Right
D. Increase Minimum Wage To $11 an hour
E. Freeze Rent Rates
Universal Healthcare
A. Single-Payer Healthcare for Kentuckians
B. Allow Kentuckians to purchase cheaper prescription pills, even in foreign markets.
Universal College
A. Provide free college to whoever wants to pursue their higher education
B. Freeze tuition rates at current levels for 5 years.
The Kentucky Rebels
Encourage the NBA and our government to work together to create a People's Team, where we get to vote for the head coach and the starting 5 for the Kentucky Rebels. This would create more revenue for Kentucky, and give a home for our talented Wildcats and Cardinals.
Legalize Marijuana
Put Gatewood's Plan on the Ballot, and let the people decide for themselves

Royce W. Adams At The Williamstown Debate
Before the debates, Mr. Adams talked about how gas prices were going to go up because of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. 18 years ago when Mr. Adams took office, gas was a dollar. One dollar. Per gallon. Now gas is pushing on $3 per gallon, and we are told that prices are going to keep going up. So that's great for Mr. Adams. He's already getting 300% of the profits that he was getting in 1992, and now he's going to get more.
During the debate, Mr. Adams said that the budget wasn't passed because the Governor had sent over a budget that had $17 million of revenue from gaming, and it's a total joke to legalize gambling in Frankfort, so therefore, the House of Representatives had to come up with a new budget from scratch. The budget bill that Mr. Adams and the Democratic House passed had “unusual ways of raising revenue” according to the current 61st District State Representative. He also blamed the “jobs” portion of the budget that the Republican Senate opposed, so therefore the budget failed.
So the budget wasn't passed, but Mr. Adams pointed out that Frankfort did pass two bills: a text messaging law that's going to be ineffective, and a compromised version of Amanda's Bill to help out with victims of domestic violence.
Mr. Adams also pointed out that the majority of the 61st district wanted expanded gaming (aka gaming). So if the People want gambling to be legalized, then the People should get it. That's how democracy works.
One good thing Mr. Adams pointed out was that he got 8 million dollars for the farmers. Finally, Mr. Adams does something right. That's exactly what we need to see happen. The 61st District needs to get as much tax revenue from Frankfort and Washington as we can possibly get, because if our tax dollars don't start coming back home, then we need to quit paying them.

Election Day, The County Brawl
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
If you are a Kentuckian, then you mostly identify yourself with your County. You are from Boone County, or Gallatin, or Owen, or Grant... you don't say you're from the city from where you are from. You say the County. A Kentuckian's home is their county, especially to all those who go through the county school system. That's I feel like a “Gallatin Countian” moreso than say a Varshavian, which is what a person from Warsaw is called, or a Spartan, or even American or Kentuckian.
Here's a short synopsis of where the County Government came from, which is information I got from a book

The Debate for Grant County Sheriff

This debate was without Bill King, however, who would have been a great Sheriff, and he should have the right to at least run. Let the voters decide, not some elite backdoor political bullies.

The Kentucky Resolutions
Freedom: The Promised Land
Written on February 8, 2010
Last year Kentucky was ranked 47th in national rankings for Frankfort's horrible ability to accurately track each and every penny from Obama's stimulus funds giveaway extravaganza. This year, Kentucky was 2nd in stimulus transparency. That's a tremendous improvement, and a positive statistic about Kentucky.
Another statistic, that can be positive, is that Kentucky's #1 cash crop is Marijuana. It can be a positive statistic because Marijuana very well could may be our saving grace, if we're smart, and act now. Marijuana ought to be able to pull us out of this rut our state's leaders have seemed content with tolerating for years since the days Robert Kennedy visited Appalachia.
Kentucky, compared to other States in the US, is also #1 for fastest growing prisons, #1 for child deaths in child abuse cases, #1 for total amount of cancer deaths, #1 state with the poorest mental health, and Kentucky is the #1 State in the US for tooth decay.

Johnny Masters Gallatin County News Attempt 12-12-9
"Harassing Communications" VIDEO
This is the video that got me the "terroristic threatening" charge, which was eventually negotiated down to "harassment communications", a slap on the wrist, without having to take on the County's Prosecutor and the lowlife scumbag that smacked me around for the majority of my life.

In Defense of Johnny Masters
Sunday, April 25, 2010
Hello. I am Johnny Masters. My full name is Johnathan Daniel Masters. I love it. A lot. In 2003 that's what I had it legally changed to. My first-birth-maiden-slave name my parents gave me was Kevin Forest Deaton Junior. Even though I had it “changed”, as a “Junior”, I never really felt like I had my own name. Instead, it was more like I discovered, or made, myself (a self-made man).

Vote Johnny Masters for State Representative. Frankfort has done a poor job, and it's time for something different. It's time for a Revolution, and it's about time. The poor are pissed.
