How you can win my vote…..
I understand that we are 21 months from our next
Presidential Election – but I thought I would let the candidates know how they
could win my vote. I live in a state
where you decide which primary you want to vote in – so even though I am an
independent I can vote for anyone if I feel strongly about them. So here is a list of every issue that I have
an opinion on – some of them have no impact on my life – but I feel so strongly
about.
1.
I have a fence around my property so that I can
control who and what comes in and who and what goes out – we need the same for
our country.
2.
I believe that a child is no more than a
parasite in the body of a woman – but some parasites are beneficial – no abortions
for birth control.
·
If abortions do exist for birth control – first trimester
only
·
If abortions do exist for birth control – men should
also have the right to “opt-out” – the same period of time that a woman has to choose
to abort
·
If “Opt-out” does exist – men lose permanent
rights if they “opt-out” – no coming back later and deciding to be “Daddy”
3.
Taxes should be the same percentage for everyone
– i.e. 10% = if you make a dollar – you pay 10 cents – no exceptions – no tax
shelters
4.
If you want to make a single payer healthcare
program – i.e. Obamacare – then States should be required to increase their Medicaid
coverage to the federal limits & insurances should be mandated as to what
must be covered – and the payments should be based on the persons ability to
pay – again – a percentage of income
5.
Education must be improved – students rely too
much on their devices to solve problems – a Life Skills course should be
included teaching how to cook, balance a checkbook, fill out an envelope for
mailing, build a basic shelf from scratch, how to check their oil in their car –
things that are needed to be an adult.
6.
If you promise something during your campaign –
try to keep that promise – not just forget it after being elected.
7.
Once in office – stay on the same course – if you
are for something – stay for it – or explain to us why you change your mind –
and just because your opponent is for it isn’t a good enough reason to change,
maybe that is what we need – both sides agreeing on something.
8.
I do believe in gun control – but not gun
restriction – ballistic reports should be preformed on each firearm and a
record of it should follow its serial number similar to a person’s
fingerprint. Stop trying to take away guns
all the while you have personal security & Capital Police & Secret
Service protecting you and your property with said weapons.
9.
Stop wasting our time with Collusion Trials or
Hillary Trials – neither will amount to anything – even though I feel HRC
should have been arrested in an FBI raid – it is far too late for that…
10.
Stop trying to convince me that the only people
who are racist, homophobic, xenophobic and violent are white. Really read and watch the news and listen to
EVERYONE – you will find racist, homophobic, xenophobic and violent people of
all walks of life.
11.
Let’s pay less attention to what is happening in
other countries and more attention to our own.
We have people starving, freezing on the streets – dying because they
can’t afford “affordable” healthcare – Bridges and roads crumbling – schools over-crowded
– we have fixed unemployment – now let’s fix some of our other problems.
12.
An Immigrant is great – join the group and merge
into our Melting Pot – Illegal immigrant is just that – illegal – Sanctuary cities
and states are ridiculous – they are blatantly breaking the federal law and
said lawmakers should be arrested and jailed for harboring known criminals –
because illegal is illegal – and illegal is not “oops – my visa expired last
week” – but it is “Oops – my visa expired last year”
I am not hard to get along with – in most cases I just want
candidates to tell me how they feel & what their belief system is – not quote
the Party lines – I have felt for years that the 2-party system is the biggest
problem in our country. Trump is not really
a Republican – but had he ran Democrat or Independent – he most assuredly would
have lost the election – so like so many things – he cheated the system. He no more “colluded” with a foreign entity
then any other candidate – how much did Hillary get in money from other
countries??? And how can so many people
say we need term limits on Congress but yet continue to elect the same people
over and over again. How can my
generation and every generation after vote for people who have been in office
since I started voting??? By the way – I
will be voting 35 years in 2020. There are
16 in office for over 30 years – 79 since Bill Clinton’s first term – this is really
our problem. What is worse – without mentioning
names, we are now electing people into office who have no clue how our country
works – how the Government works – or even what makes up our Government… How can we expect anything to change?? No matter who is president – no change will
ever take hold until we all go to the ballot box and vote out the incumbents – I
personally like my current representation for my state in Washington – but that
doesn’t mean I think we shouldn’t vote them all out… Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Diane
Feinstein, John Boehner, Chuck Schumer, etc. are so out of touch with the
normal American – it is just sad.
OK – Ranted enough for today – but have already started on
the next one (was originally part of this one – but was making it WAY TOO long)
