As all of us know, our country is in terrible condition. We have visited a lot of different countries and I am appalled at what I see in other countries versus what we have let this country become and you all, plus our leader for the last four years, are the cause. We do not have any mass transit across the country other than by air and some Amtrak trains. It is time for high-speed trains and modern bus lines.
We must stop having an open check book for other countries and buckle down and bring our country into this century by:
Reduce all government salaries and benefits across the board by 25 percent.
Reduce all government jobs across the board by 25 percent.
Do have ANY pork under any circumstances either by the front, side or back doors.
Eliminate the Environmental Protection agency, education agency, and others that are irrelevant or duplicated. Set up a commission with former Rep. West of Florida in charge with teeth to study all agencies in the government to be sure we still need the agencies.
Go to a flat tax and then eliminate the internal revenue.
Do not give any foreign aid to ANY country until our debt is paid and our country is on solid ground.
Insist on Iraq and Afghanistan paying their own way and have them pay America for any soldiers salaries in either country.
Repeal the new healthcare bill (Obamacare) and set up a commission to develop a bill that is more user-friendly and should cover all government employees and citizens of this country (everyone, no one excluded).
Pass a bill for time served as a congressman/woman and senator not to exceed three, four-year terms.
All bills passed should include the constitutional section it covers and should be posted on the internet for three days prior to going to the floor of the house or senate. The bill should be limited to no more than 20 pages and should be in language that the ordinary person can understand – no legal terms.
Last, but not least, we should pass a bill that states: Any country or person representing a country who commits a terrorist act on our soil in the U.S. or internationally, or on any military base in or outside the country will be considered an act of war and therefore retaliation is mandatory after gathering the facts.
We have immigration laws that are presently on the books that are not being enforced. These need to be reinforced before we add any new laws on immigration.
I am concerned about our young people who you all are sending to war and they are returning home in terrible condition – loss of limbs, etc. I feel it is your responsibility to financially provide for these young people for the rest of their lives.
Last is the problem with abortion in this country. Something must be done to stop the genocide of our babies which is presently happening. Example: the Pennsylvania doctor who has killed babies for 30 years and you all have stood by while this has been happening even though complaint after complaint has been filed.
And then we must address the time you all are spending doing your job. You are out of Washington too much and that is why nothing is being accomplished.
