My views on National Issues
Ok to everyone that would like to know where I stand on some of the issues that are affecting our area and the country itself, here I go.
This is my Platform on where I stand on the National front:
1) First of all we need to end the political mess in Washington D.C. where little or nothing gets done because of party infighting and Washington bureaucracy. In saying this I will not let any lobbyists influence my decision. As I see all the lobbyists do in the end is water down potential bills and fill their own pockets with the wealth and we the citizens of the US feel the pain.
.. 2) A very important note is the ongoing war in Iraq. I believe we need to be supportive of the good that is coming out of it now and continue the path we are on in providing Iraq with our support. With the recent report of their extensive budget surplus is to be looked at as a very good thing. We should help them not in financial ways but in diplomatic approaches to rebuild their country and infrastructure with Iraq being able to pay for most of the reconstruction.
.. 3) Back at home we need to look in the Social Security. I believe that we the taxpayers should have access to at least half of our taxes being paid into SSI to be allowed to invest it in a way we see fit to. Basically creating a SSI investing/savings account but with a stipulation in that the moneys being paid into it only can be access when retirement age reach and/or when we start to collect the SSI money. As this money that the taxpayers have access in investing cannot be used at any time before retirement age is reached.
.. 4) I believe in a Flat Tax which in the end everyone will pay their own share equally and proportionately and it will be fair to everyone.
.. 5) We need to invest and set up programs that encourage small business and make it easier for them to operate and end the bureaucracy that businesses have to go through to setup a new business. Also setup a tax cut for Small Businesses so they can invest and being able to compete in the open-markets
->6) We should end the ban drilling off our coasts and open up ANWR in Alaska. Allowing this will help end our dependence on foreign oil. This may not help out now but it will help out in the future while there is considerable investment and advancement of new technologies in other forms of energy using non-fossil fuels. Expand the research for using fossil fuels in a cleaner way. As I do not believe in the in what I feel is a falsehood of Global Warming considering the life of our planet we have gone through various eras of warming and cooling periods. Considering for example during the Hurricane season that formed Katrina and Rita most of the scientists said we have entered a very active period and storms will be stronger (then look at what has happened in the last two seasons the amount of storms that were formed were far below what the people have predicted. But I am not against any clean or green changes. We should slowly end the use of plastic bags considering when I was a child brown paper bags were used and widely reused, also in the end paper bags are easily recycled. Instead of having recycling on a voluntary basis it should become mandatory and set-up programs for the US states and cities to implement recycling to reduce the amount of trash that is created. Also we should be encouraging people to be greener and reward our citizens that help in this process. One very simple way in helping this out is by returning to a nationwide speed limit at which I believe either 60-65 should be implemented.
Also on the informative note the jet fuel that is being used is leaded fuel, which this is not helping in reducing carbon emissions. There should be investing in a way to be able to use a cleaner burning fuel.
On a side note, with the advancement of environmentally friendlier transportation vehicles, my view on the use and promotion of electric vehicles is only a feel good strategy. Because answer this question; (Where does the vast majority of our electricity come from?) Fossil fuels so when we go and plug in these cars in the end we are not using less of the fossil fuels.
The use of ethanol is to be a very easy way to reduce our dependence on oil but we need to research ways in refining ethanol cheaper and ways to improve the end performance and MPG as using corn for ethanol is not the only source. Also end the import tariffs that are in place on ethanol.
.. 7) My views on the illegal immigration mess that is in place. We need to secure our borders and build barriers in preventing illegals from crossing into our country. With the illegal’s that are in they should not have access to free anything and instead of setting up and forming new laws. Let’s do this it may sound funny but all we need to is enforce the current laws that are already on the books.
.. 
I also believe in the line item veto and am against pork barrel projects and add-ons that occur to almost every bill that goes through our congress.
Coming up next is my views that I will fight for that will help our congressional district.
Thanks again in joining me in this revolution in taking back America because the current 2 system party is broken and beyond repair and we the citizens of the United States need to stand up and be able to let their voice being heard. As being able to add a spot on the ballot of a no confidence vote or none of the above, if this can be added it will show to our current elected leaders that they are not leading the country in the right direction.
