I'd stand up for what I believe in, the strength of our people to fight for our freedom. And focus on strengthening our core values.
1. The American Dream - the right for any legal citizen to work their way up as far as they can based on their own merit.
2. All American's Should Be Armed - By this i mean, we are living in a dangerous age, and we can't assume that we our safe, or that the government can protect us, it is up to us as citizens to also protect ourselves. So I would require all citizens to be armed, with non-lethal to lethal weapons. Instead of banning weapons, we should welcome them, as they make us all safer.
3. American Citizenship is not a right but must be earned. So I would recommend rigorous testing of all 16-18 year old residents, to see if they can both speak/read/write english, and understand what it means to be an American. If you don't know what it really means and takes to be a good american, why should you be entitled to any of it's privaledges.
4. All Healthy Adults from age 16 to 40, are required to do yearly military training and duties. To make each american aware of why we must defend our country by requiring a huge majority to be involved with defending it. If you are not physically healthy, you will contribute your mental strengths to military areas that require mental strength. Why be a part of a nation, your not willing to defend?
5. Foreign Policy - We shall establish no trade or any type of relationship with a country that does not have free citizens. Those that wish to trade with us must be free. Because it always makes us look bad when we have deals with un-free/dictatorial countries.
6. Eliminate the IRS.
7. Privatize all educational organizations.
More to come...
Our nation needs to remind itself that to be free that their are costs and responsibilities to keep us free.
Thank you.
