Any illegal aliens seeking treatment are to be turned over to the authorities. - A constitutional amendment that establishes that a child born in the US, but lacking at least one parent with legal status, will not be granted automatic citizenship. PROMOTING THE GENERAL WELFARE 1. Establish voluntary participation National Health Insurance Program. - Promote State level financial aid program with coverage up to a family of four. - Government regulated, non-profit managed. - Built in standards to promote competition. - Pricing on a per person basis. - Not employer specific. - Medical professionals are not required to care for those not demonstrating an ability to pay. 2.

Minimize regulations on business / commerce. 6. Promote balanced free trade. - Restrictions will be matched to counter actions taken by partner nation as may unfairly affect trade, such as artificially controlling currency values or tariffs. TAXES: 1. Establish Flat Federal Income Tax - Offer one standard deduction equal to minimum wage x 2080. - Offer retirement investment deduction. - Offer small business expense deduction (limited use). - Eliminate all other deductions. 2. Promote simplified State Tax Program: - Flat Income Tax (similar to Federal Income Tax) - Simplified property tax based on flat value assigned per square foot of land area occupied. - Licensing / Permit fees used to charge only those using the services in question. 3. Eliminate all ot What would you change? NOTE: This is of course a bullet list as YA won't allow a 15 page document to be uploaded :) Erick: What points do you disagree with? Why? Princess K: As far as the mandatory service goes, that is really based on whether or not you want the privilege of voting. Note this service is in the defensive national guard, not the regular military. Our Founders said defense of this country is the duty of every citizen and if you were unwilling to do so, we neither want nor ask for your council. Istainjaa: You pay for the voluntary health care. The program is based on using the buying power of an entire state to create a lower price structure, much like a larger company can get lower rates than my little business with 10 employees. Currently the Federal government supports unemployment. Federal charity is unconsititutional. Malcolm Equis: I've sent you an email to help clarify since my response is to long winded for an "edit". Erick: It is a Federal insurance program you pay into. Actually our proposal uses non-profit insurance providers that bid for States. So technically the federal government only outlines the minimum program requirements and monitors performance - the providers do the rest. Federal charity is unconstitutional, so any assistance programs would have to exist at the State level. Pampoulmouse: The 15th week was selected based on the development cycle of a fetus. During the 15th - 18th weeks the fetus develops a cerebral cortex, which allows an individual consciousness to form and therefore the possiblity of emotional harm develops. Prior to that it is little more than a growth. James L: I do not support isolationism. I do support non-interventionism. The internal affairs of another nation are not our concern, and we should respect their national sovereignty if we expect them to respect ours. Trade is the key to diplomacy. Most of our current issues on the world stage evolved from interference and maintaining a cold war military structure. Bad ideas. My attitude is we will leave you alone until you give us a valid reason not to. Then we should punish you for it. Spock for Prez: 1. Why the need to add the bit about transfer of custody? We already have systems in place to allow adoption of a foreign child. My neighbors just adopted a Russian baby. 2. How does your marriage amendment protect liberty? 3. Interesting thoughts on the religion issue. Wyomugs: 1. Yes. Yes I expect that if you are going to log into Yahoo Answers, at whatever time you choose to do so, that you will be able to comprehend the questions posted there - regardless of their depth. Considering I posted this closer to 1am in my time zone, at 11:50 you should be rested and ready to go. 2. Yes. Yes I know the agenda set forth here is hard. Does the fact that something is hard make it less worthwhile to do? Where would we be if our Founders had said, "Revolution is hard, we probably shouldn't."? How many doctors would we have if they said,"Meical school is hard, I think I'll quite before I start."? Those who focus on the obstacles never see the goal. 3. No. I am not a Libertarian, but I am an individualist. I'm certainly not a Democrat or Republican. I support the Constitution and the political ideals of our Founding Fathers, but I'm not a Constitutionalist - to much church and state. 4. Are you saying I'm right-wing or you are?

Public Comments

1. Yea, it looks to be a good platform, one which I would support. I disagree with just a few aspects, but no political platform is perfect. For the health care, when you say "pricing on a per person basis", are we talking about a federal health insurance program that people pay into like private health insurance is, or universal health care with no pay in?
2. Interesting stuff...okay, after looking at this I can say there is a lot I like...particularly the ending of our connection with the UN. But I do wanna know how you mean, 'Mandatory' 2 year service for the revamp. I have always felt mandatory/draft type service creates a weaker force particularly because it divides the soldiers/participants into groups of those who do want to serve and those who feel forced into service. Overall though...I am impressed. :-)
3. who pays for the voluntary natl healthcare? unemployment is already state funded is it not? how are people with trauma or critical illness to get treated if they cannot pay? did you not address labor unions or did I miss it? I disagree with complete chemical substance legality. weed ok. all in all not bad. you put a lot of thought into it.
4. 1) Waste of time and money. Just saying it will not magically make anyone learn it, but it will cost businesses quite a bit of money. 2) Establishment of Justice had very little to do with justice, and was quite contradictory. If the fetus is a living human, then that immediately makes stem cell research using legally obtained fetuses impossible. Those "legally-obtained" fetuses would be human, and so their rights would have to be considered. To do otherwise would essentially be tantamount to slavery. You have to pick one or the other, is it a human or a clump of cells? 3) Military... I like most of it. I could do without the mandatory service, but I can see arguments for it. And the rest makes sense. 4) Common Welfare... You'd have to expand more on what you put down, which you already gave a reason why you didn't (no space). But I didn't see anything that turned me off to your ideas about education and so forth. However, this is human life we are talking about. I believe very much that we should help people even if they can't pay. 5) Maintaining Liberty... You've got me listening, I could definitely see possibilities with what you wrote. 6) I like a lot of what you wrote, but it can be rather expensive. This becomes even moreso if we were to go to war. Yet your tax plan takes in very little money. You sound Libertarian, and I like much of what they stand for. But you must be careful not to go too low on money intake or you could just as easily collapse the economy when the National Debt shoots too high and that destroys the value of the dollar. The dollar is the base of our economy, if it loses value so does the entire economic system. If you want the rest of what you wrote done, you will HAVE TO take in more taxes than what you put down. Add-on: And you should be careful about getting out of alliance agreements. While I understand the want to be out of the UN (I rather agree with leaving) an NATO; if you leave alliances that leaves us without help should we need it. We then have to take the full brunt of any fight. Considering how much we've suffered in both Iraq and Afghanistan when we have allies there, imagine how bad it could be if we have no allies along with us...
5. Re: abortion, why do you choose the 15th week as the cut-off point?
6. You've got many good ideas. But on some issues, particular military isolationism, I think your plan is unrealistic. Setting a standard definition for when a fetus is entitled to human rights is a good idea and would simplify legal disputes. But morally, there will always be people who disagree with whatever definition is set. Sounds a lot like Ron Paul. But as with him, it is naive to believe we can wall ourselves up inside our borders and disengage from the world. Deterrent forces and intervention will always be needed to keep the peace.
7. A constitutional amendment that establishes that a child born in the US, but lacking at least one parent with legal status, will not be granted automatic citizenship Lets change this to , " Children born in the United States where both parents reside in the United States in an unlawful manor shall not be granted citizenship unless custody of the child in question is granted to a citizen of the United States." 1. Legalize unions between consenting adults, including same sex and polygamy. Religious institutions will not be required to conduct services or even recognize unions counter to their system of belief Let change this to ," 1.) The power to define a marriage is a right solely reserved for the States. 2.) No state shall be compelled to recognize the laws of another in regard to marriage." 2. Constitutional amendment to clarify separation of church and state / metaphysical neutrality in government affairs. Let make this one read as follows, "1.) The United States government shall make no law that establishes an official religion. 2.) Individuals may practice their religion anywhere during their free time. 3.) Individuals may display religious literature and/or artifacts in their personal space designated by their employer. 4.) The government shall not endorse or condemn any religious doctrine. 5.) The government cannot fund the installation or removal of a religious holiday display." Hopefully, this is clear enough to allow liberty while keeping the government out.
8. Nice... it's 11:50pm and I'm supposed to sit here and read, WITH comprehension, this TOME of a document? From your first "suggestion" you lost me. Why? Cuz you speak of a constitutional amendment. Do you know how DIFFICULT it is to get a constitutional amendment passed? The last time it was tried was WAY back in the 1970's with the ever popular ERA amendment... and THAT didn't pass! Equal Rights for WOMEN didn't pass as an amendment, do you HONESTLY think that English as Official Language would pass? Then, the proposal for a Flat tax with no other deductions... WONDERFUL.. but won't happen in my lifetime, nor the next few lifetimes. WHY? Because there are TOOOOOOOOOOO many SPECIAL INTERESTS with their hands in the tax pie... to name a few: --- Lawyers --- Accountants --- Doctors --- Remainder of medical profession --- Real estate agents --- Charties/religions --- Educational Institutions --- The IRS, for God's sake! --- Big Business --- Small Business --- Unions --- The 50 United States... well... at least those who charge their own income, sales, property, business taxes which are deductible from your Federal Income taxes... yep... I count 50 of them then! --- Gambling industry --- Stock market, bond market, etc. ... and that's the SHORT list! If you can get these people to voluntarily give up their deduction perks, you're either a better politician then GOD, or you're a DICTATOR, and it isn't voluntary! You sound like a libertarian to me. I dabbled in that for a matter of a few moments and concluded that it's something nice to believe in but in reality totally impractical and impossible to administer. By it's very nature, attempting to implement libertarianism requires a governmental structure... which is an anathema to a libertarian. Therefore, it's an oxymoron... a contradiction in terms. Have a right-wing day.
