If YOU were running to be the next President ...

Your too much laser...Honestly, I think it would be very comical to see you in person, and how you interact with other people.  Thats something I would pay for.

1. Constitutional amendments:

----a. Term limits of 12 years maximum in the legislature.
---------(i) require a 14 year qualification for pensions

----b. Require that Senators and Congressmen stay in their districts and telecommute their legislative duties.

-------(i) Makes easier citizen access to their sens/reps.

-------(ii) Lobbists would have to travel to 535 different offices in many different regions to face to face with congress.

-------(iii) spreads out congress as a defense against an attack/accident at DC that would take out the govt.

2.  I am against same sex marriage.  It's pretty gay.

I like DiabloTX's platform.  It's like Ron Paul's New Years Resolution he suggested to the other candidates, "Read your oaths of office."

First
We, by national referendum, will roll all laws back to Dec 31 1868 ... then we will prosecute any senator or house member that has, by their vote record, violated their oath to uphold the constitution.
As an option to prosecution, they may resign and forfeit any and all government pay and allowances for the remainder of their and/or their dependents lifetimes.
This will leave between 30 and 50 "freshman" legislators two years to revamp the federal laws before the next general election.

Second
We, by national referendum, will abolish "personal" income tax at the federal level. It runs the government for less than 30 days a year and is just a talking point that keeps people divided. A federal "sales tax" of 2 or 3 percent will more than make up the difference.

Third
We, by national referendum, will pass an amendment to the constitution that will not allow congress to spend more than 90% of last years federal income. Any and all surpluses will go directly to paying the national debt.

Have the supreme court write a decision pointing out exactly where in the constitution it gives the federal government the right to redistribute wealth ... any wealth.

Trash the federal reserve and go back to the gold standard ... but let the price of gold fluctuate on the world market ... if gold needs to be $2 or $2000 an oz to cover so be it.

I think that if we take care of the constitutional and the money issues the rest of the issues will shortly fall into line.

I like it.  However, I would change the 90% of last years income, to only being allowed to spend 90% of the amount spent last year.  This could help reign in some of that spending.


One thing I was interested in seeing was for the Federal Government to earn its OWN money.  I.E. Start up a American Business, and make a lot of money through hard work.




OH!  Nearly forgot!!!  My 11th. bullet point.

11.) All people who are currently politicians at ANY level in government from the President all the way down to a local level school board are here by instantly banned from holding political office for 50 years.  The problem with politics is that it is full of politicians.
