My Commitment to the American People |

Major General, U.S. Army Retired |
As President of the United States of
America, I will seek to lead this great nation with the intent of
the original founders and with reverence for all those who have gone
before us, sacrificing their lives to protect our freedoms.
I will make it my first and foremost aim
to protect this country from the evil attacks of fanatical men and
women. In order to do that I will seek to bolster homeland
security, to strengthen the military, and to increase our
intelligence so that we can stop nuclear, germ, and chemical weapons
before they reach our shores.
I will also seek to build, mend, and
restore relationships with all other nations. I will work toward
establishing peace agreements with neighbors around the world. The
United States was founded as a peace loving people, a nation that
sought to restore hope, freedom, and opportunity for its citizens.
That will be my aim as President of this country.
I will work on global initiatives that
will support peace and the defeat of global terrorism. I will
work to replace fear with hope, injustice with justice, ignorance
with knowledge.
For the people of this nation, we will
seek to support health initiatives which provide preventive
medicine and care. We will work much harder to create a
healthy environment where our children, our grandchildren, and our
great grandchildren can grow up to live healthy lives. We will
support creative initiatives to ensure that all of our citizens have
the health care they need.
In a nation such as ours, no child, no
elderly person, no student, no individual should be without the
health care they need. As President of this country, I will
work to make sure that every citizen has the best health care
possible.
We will also work to restore a just
society where those who steal are held accountable to restore that
which they have stolen. We will encourage and provide incentives for
the wealthy of this nation to give back to those under their
leadership, to their communities, to their country, and to others
around the world.
We will work to establish a debt free
nation and debt free citizens. We know that when the nation is
economically healthy, it has the freedom to progress and flourish.
We do not want this nation, its citizens, or future generations to
be in financial bondage.
Therefore we will work to live within our
means as a nation and encourage the people of this country to do the
same. Additionally, we will seek for ways to become more
productive and prosperous in the global marketplace in which we
live.
The U.S. is fast losing its manufacturing
base. The best way to create wealth is to make things. In recent
years, forty percent of our manufacturing jobs and capabilities have
been globalized out of the country. We must make a concerted effort
to re-capture our manufacturing base and the jobs associated with
it.
This requires that we support the
strengthening of education at all levels from elementary schools to
higher education. We will support the development of
curricular initiatives which foster literacy, history, music, art,
science, mathematics, and great literature. We will also
support the development of computer education realizing that it is a
major form of communication in the twenty-first century. We
will also encourage curricular initiatives which teach our children
how to think critically about the role of media and technology in
their lives.
We will support all aspects of human life
from the unborn to the elderly. We will not allow our great
society to denigrate or destroy human life. We will work hard
to make sure that the elderly in this country live their final years
with the dignity, respect, honor, and resources that they deserve.
We will also work to make sure that those who have fought for this
nation have their needs met whether those needs are medical or
financial. And, we will give due honor and respect to those
who have died serving this country.
We will work to create a civil society
and that civil society needs to be modeled in the political realm.
We will work with all concerted effort to focus the attention of
lawmakers, congressmen, and senators on the issues before us and not
on political agendas whether they are Democratic or Republican.
We will work to restore a compassionate, loving, and caring culture
within our nation.
We will seek to care for the foreigners
living among us but at the same time require that foreigners follow
the legal process in entering and living in this country. As an
English-speaking nation, we will require that those who become
citizens of this country learn how to speak the English language.
We will work to provide English education for all those legally
entering and becoming citizens of this country. And, at the
same time we will encourage the teaching of other languages in our
schools.
We will support and uphold the teaching
of the principles of democracy at all levels of the educational
process realizing that a democratic form of government is the only
form of government that offers the individual citizen the
opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without
the infringement of human rights by the control of a tyrant or a
dictator.
These are the principles that I will work
for as President of the United States. I will work in concert
with those who share these values and I will work in the spirit of
collegiality with those who share different values.
