There is no way in hell I could ever get elected to anything probably, but if I were running, these would be my positions:
Establish a Single Term limit for congress, senate and the president of six years only...no second terms....a person could serve in all three, but for only one term. I believe this would end partisanship for the sake of partisanship.
I believe that currently there are too many people that do not seek political office due to the fact that they are over-qualified, and can do much better financially in the private sector.
After term limits are established, raise the wage of each office as follows: Congress-1 million$ annually
Senate 2 million$ annually and the president to 5 million$ annually. All positions would be given a bonus equal to 25% of there annual income if the budget is balanced and there is an actual surplus in the federal treasury at the end of each fiscal year.
This would attract more qualified candidates to these positions.
Make lobbying illegal as we know it....make lobbiests, lobby congress upon appointment, no appointment would be granted without prior public petition. And all sessions would be televised.
All campaign donations would have to be made annonymously only through a national campaign finance bank, and would be distributed to the parties or canidates annonymously.
Immigration: Finish the fence. Take action on all current illegal immigrants while increasing the amount of greencards for those who use the proper legal channels for immigration.
Change the laws of naturalized citizens to exclude those born to illegal aliens, anyone born to illegals under the age of 18 would be deported with their parents.
War on Terror: Lift the restraints on our soldiers. If fired upon from a mosque...level it!
Trade: Impose tarrifs on all imports from china until they stop cheating.
Foreign affairs: Offer all countries a "clean slate" policy address world leaders and advise of our intentions and our boundaries.
