20 Point Presidentail Plan: Whats yours?

[Cabin4]

My 20 point plan to address our nations issues. I’d like to see what folks think. Thoughts?

1.   Withdraw all US troops from foreign land over a 4 year period
2.   Withdraw the US’s participation in the UN. Give them 3 years to find a new place of business.
3.   Cease all bail out activity and seek a constitutional amendment to forbid any in the future
4.   No federal funding for abortion or stem cell research
5.   Mandate insta check as the only means of firearm sale verification in the USA
6.   Litigate against states that have restrictive 2nd amendment laws
7.   Build the southern wall on the US MX border
8.   Cease all work federally sponsored work VISA programs
9.   Lower all federal personal and business income taxes by 50% over the course of the next 8 years
10.   Increase tax deductions to businesses for capital projects/spending by 70% over current rates
11.   Lower federal non-defense spending commensurate with item 9 over same period
12.   Fully leverage all domestic energy sources and develop policies that encourage private industry investment in alternative sources
13.   Reform and enforce immigration laws, deport illegal’s and make E-Verify the only approved means of validating citizenship
14.   End the US’s participation in NAFTA
15.   Seek constitutional amendment that would prevent the federal government from participating in health care coverage for citizens
16.   Seek constitutional amendment that would prevent the US from borrowing from foreign governments
17.   End the federal interstate highway program. Develop agreement with states to take over & maintain responsibilities
18.   Eliminate the federal department of education as we now know it. Reform to strictly to assist in standards and assessment methods to states
19.   Eliminate the department of agriculture as we now know it. Reform to strictly provide statistical data and market forecast information to the farmers
20.   Seek constitutional amendment to guarantee hunting and fishing rights similar to what some states have done.

I agree with most of what you suggest. However the problems with our nation are moral,and spiritual. Enough people in America have turned their backs on God and the Bible that He has to judge it . The only solution that will work(unless it's already too late) is for the nation to repent.

YEP. With the election of osama I believe God is angrier at America than I thought. POWDERMAN.

  You are both correct;
  cabin 4 has proposed a remedy for the ills we have as a nation..all of which make sense and I could endorse. Elijah has explained just how we got into the trouble we are in..
  Problem; You both went after the root problems HONESTLY..unlike DC politicians, you don't owe political debts to ACORN, Soros, the greenies, the queers, the unions, the abortionists, the Chinese or any of a 1,000 other groups/lobbyists. Chances of getting the DC crew to act with integrity is quite remote.

Love the list. I just wnt to add a few more items.

1.  Term limits on congress.
2.  Term limits on Supreme Court justices.
3.  Do not allow Supreme Court Justices to legislate from the bench. Not their job.
4.  Give President line item veto power.
5.  Give every one a basic political aptitude test with say 25 questions. If you fail the test you still get to vote. If you make a 100% grade you get to vote 5 times. The grades in the middle between the two can be on some sliding scale.
6.  Every member of congress who has disparaged our men and women in the armed forces has to go immediately.
7.  Candidates for political office get one hour of air time per week to state their goals and aggendas, One mud sling....you loose next weeks hour.
8.  Maximum contribution allowed to any candidate is $5.00 per person, business or organazation. No second hand contributions (banks contibuting huge amounts in employees names when most employees didn't even realize it happened).
9.  Have every candidate for president take a lie detector test and ask him this simple question. Do you love your country? If the needle bounces your gone.


As I think of others I will add them to the list.

Kin;
  Don't believe your #9 suggestion will work well; some of them have had a lot of practice at lying !

[SHOOTALL]

1-term limits
2-flat rate tax on indv.
3-no tax on business ( indv. pays it anyway )
4-nation wide right to carry
5-remove troops from countries that won't help with cost

I really like the term limit one.

Actually the question should have been:

Name osamas vice presidential candidate __________

(bet he would have lost!)

[kinslayer1965]

You are right Ironglow but it would be a nice idea.

I forgot about the flat tax shootall. That is another good idea as long as the loopholes get closed up.

CR

[LONGTOM]

All are good ideas.
The only three things I can think of adding is:
 
1- to apoint a single person that would report everything that is done in congress, who voted how, what deals were being struck behind closed doors, every sorted detail on everything congress does to a news paper that is solely devoted to this purpose.
Let the people know what kind of crap is really going on down there.

2- Make the government and the judges adhere to the CONSTITUTION the exact way our founding fathers intended it to be.

3- when there is a vote in congress they would have just 15 minutes to vote.
If you didn't get it done in that time frame, TOUGH!
You didn't get to vote.
This stuff of taking hours to talk about it on the floor is a bunch of crap.
Most of the time there isn't but a hand full of congressmen present.
No more voice count, no more quarm call.
Give them a electronic vote device and tell them to use it.
It takes 1 to 2 hours before a vote can be finalized.
This is unacceptable.
And again put the results in the paper for all to see!

My plan has just one item; follow the Constitution.  Oh, and I get to decide what it says.
