Vote BARSOOM on June 5th!
I support our President and I am running AGAINST Leonard Lance.
About Dr. Barsoom:
As a Christian born in Egypt, I faced persecution and adversity from a very young age. However, my dream, growing up, was to become a doctor who can serve the community well. After my education and training, I opened a medical office in Cairo and joined an American NGO managing United States aid money to improve health care in Egypt.
Unbeknownst to me, my medical office was located in a district of Cairo controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. When they found out that I was Christian, it upset them very much. After receiving numerous death threats, I fled Egypt; running away for my life with just $200. Because of my work with the United Nations Development Program, I had a visa to legally enter the United States. I rented a cot by the month in Jersey City, NJ and took my first job selling hot dogs in Journal Square. Eventually, I was able to bring my wife and 7 year old daughter to the United States. Throughout even the poorest points in our lives, we did not take a single penny from the government. We believe that if you want money, you need to work for it.
I retrained to become a doctor in the United States and am now an Emergency and Trauma doctor at Hunterdon Medical Center. My son attends North Hunterdon High School. My daughter is finishing her MD from Jefferson Medical College. My wife is a special education teacher. I am fortunate to have all my worldly needs are fulfilled. But as I look around me, I realize the foundation of the American dream, which made my own life possible, is crumbling. Our country is in debt beyond anyone's wildest imagination. We have the highest property and income tax in the region. Our loved ones are suffering from the opioid crisis. Our country's family values and ethical values are going down the drain. All of our jobs are being shipped abroad. With your help, we can fix the problems ailing our country today.

Issues

PRO-FAMILY VALUES
Liberal media and our modern education system have brainwashed our children to forget traditional family values, framing the idea of traditional family values as an old-fashioned way of life that is out-dated and is to be replaced by the modern way of life.
It is unfortunate that many of the children I see in the emergency room with unwanted pregnancies, drug problems, suicidal and homicidal thoughts are raised in a single parent household. While certain circumstances sometimes do now allow for this, a traditional family of a good father and mother should always be encouraged! I believe that deviating away from our traditional family tradition is the reason for many of our problems. Children raised in homes where their mother and father honor God and consider their children a gift and blessing from God, they are less likely to be involved in drugs and deviant behavior. This is because as the relationship between the parents and children strengthens, the parents are more aware of their children's behavior and decisions, allowing them to intercede as soon as a problem arises. Schools should return to encouraging and teaching that a traditional family is one to be desired and sought after. If I am elected, I will fight to restructure our educational system to include the values of the traditional family! |
OPIOID CRISIS
Opioid crisis has been a devastation on individuals, families, and the economy!
An opioid addiction causes dysfunction, forcing the victim to resort to abnormal behavior, leaving families, including children to share in the financial and emotional suffering. Treatment can cause a detrimental financial burden. In most cases, overdose can cause someone to lose a brother, sister, mother or a father. Opioids are the main income makers for for the gang members and drug dealers. They become the source by which illegal guns fill the streets of big cities. Each abdominal gun shot wound coming into the hospital costs an average of $200,000 with visits to the Emergency room, the operating room and the surgical ICU. We, the tax payers, pay for that! The crux of the of the issue is most of the drugs in the market are crossed into our borders illegally! If I am elected, I will fight to have the support of our army in protecting our borders from illegal drug trafficking! Another reason for drug addiction was the interference of state and federal government agencies around 10 years ago, when agencies like, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) forced health care providers to give patients large amounts of narcotics to control pain. If any patient complained that his pain was not adequately controlled, medicare would cut payment to the hospital and the hospital would get a warning. This process created millions of prescription-drug addicts. If I am elected, I will fight to have the pharmaceutical companies, who benefit from addiction, to share the financial burden! |

CUT PROPERTY TAXES
The national average for the property taxes is 1.6%.
The New Jersey property tax is closer to 2.5%! If our neighboring states like Virginia and North Carolina pay about 1% in property taxes, why can't we? Taxes are a heavy burden on a lot of people. Retired homeowners who have already paid off their mortgages often cannot afford to live in their own homes because of the taxes. This is outrageous! If I am elected, I will introduce a bill to the Congress to federally regulate property taxes for a maximum of 1.5% statewide. Let us fight together to reduce overall cost of living! |
MAKE HEALTH CARE AFFORDABLE
Healthcare is expensive!
As a practicing physician, I know that most of healthcare costs DO NOT go to doctors and nurses, the true providers. Instead, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies receive the bulk of the payment. Many life-saving medications cost hundreds of dollars, but can be purchased for only a few dollars in other countries. If I am elected, I will make sure that medication prices are federally regulated. The average malpractice insurance for an obstetrics and gynecology doctor or a surgeon is $120,000. Most of that payment comes out of the patients' pockets. If I am elected, I would make sure that no malpractice lawsuit passes to the courts without being approved by a Medical committee, lowering healthcare costs by an average of 30%! We cannot afford to be unhealthy. Help me restore health to New Jersey! |

SUPPORT SECOND AMMENDMENT
Talk about guns has overtaken the public and media. The largest issue with guns is the legality of ownership. The reality is a large majority of guns used in crimes are illegally owned!
last year there was 356 homicides in NJ and 1365 homicides in NY, almost all committed with illegal guns and the majority were drug-related gang members. I spent 4 years working in Brooklyn hospitals and treated, on average, 5 - 10 gunshot victims every day. Our major cities are over-run with young people falling victims to dealers and criminals. We need to start focusing on taking these illegal weapons off the street! |
