RESTORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Democracy has been lost to the oligarchs, the system is totally corrupt, and you have no say. We MUST change this!

Burk was raised by a single mother who worked tirelessly to make ends meet. Determined to overcome financial hardship, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy right after high school, serving 14 years and rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander (O-4). During his service, he became a certified Nuclear Plant Operator and Surface Warfare Officer. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics from the United States Naval Academy and later an MBA from the University of Oxford. He considers himself more of an activist than a politician and is highly passionate about restoring society to greater community involvement. In 2022, he left a lucrative career in the tech industry to give back through public education, and has since taught 5th, 6th, and 7th grade. He lives in Virginia Beach with his wife and two cats.
I am not a politician; I am an activist. Everything I say and do is in service of the final paragraph of Eisenhower’s farewell address—what I call "Eisenhower’s prayer":

I am not a politician; I am an activist. Everything I say and do is in service of the final paragraph of Eisenhower’s farewell address—what I call "Eisenhower’s prayer":
"We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love."
I believe the best path forward—the next step in accomplishing this mission worldwide—is to reclaim power from the oligarchs, strengthen representation for the common person, and save the American middle class.
Had the ultra-wealthy been just a little more subtle, they might have gotten away with it. But as the saying goes, “You get greedy, you get caught.” Through Citizens United and other manipulations of our representatives, along with recent attempts to raise the national debt by $5.7 trillion—all while stripping the poor and middle class of
Had the ultra-wealthy been just a little more subtle, they might have gotten away with it. But as the saying goes, “You get greedy, you get caught.” Through Citizens United and other manipulations of our representatives, along with recent attempts to raise the national debt by $5.7 trillion—all while stripping the poor and middle class of basic needs like food and healthcare—they’ve shown they’ll chase every last dollar, even if it pushes our nation to the brink. The problem is not just that the rich are getting richer while the middle class withers, it’s that this is happening at an accelerated rate! We must fight back.
