What appears here is a list of platform planks for any individuals or
parties that want to join the effort to take back our government.
The Republican party is confused and elitist. They don't talk to
ordinary people. They also have been confused for the past N years about
what big government is and why it is evil.

My purpose here is to start a list of planks for candidates for office
for the 2010 and the 2012 elections. My writing style is far from
perfect, so improvements are welcome. I further think there might be
more planks. What have I missed? If this list becomes interesting to a number
of people we should try to rank order it possibly by allowing members to
vote on which ones are most important. The 2010 election is far enough
off to allow us to vote more than once. After some number of votes have
been tallied and the issues ranked, we can simply erase the votes
and start over. The reason to do that would be late entries
ointo the list and late arrivals of people into this network.

My list assumes the worse for the first two years of Obamanation. If,
for instance, Cap and Trade is not passed, then #1 below can be removed
[or parked lest cap and trade be resuscitated in the 2011-2012 session].

I have also avoided all constitutional changes. That effort should
proceed with all due haste elsewhere. It might be a lot slower.

Please comment on this. I think the issues addressed below are extremely
important to our nation. I am already tired of a President who
represents 53% of the country and will not speak to the other 47%.

He works for me despite the fact that I voted against him.

1. Repeal Cap and Trade. All credits are devalued instantly at zero.
    Warning, do not buy these credits as it is likey they will become
    worthless all of a sudden.

2. Compensate Indiana Trust fund participants for the Obama theft.
   Reinstate bankruptcy law. Admit in public that the United States
   Government made a mistake.

3. Repeal Card check. Employees will be given the right to demand
   a secret ballot. A secret ballot can be authorized to form a union
   or dissolve a union. Mandatory arbitration will be eliminated permanantly
   and with prejudice. Government involvement with unions will cease.

3a. Unions will no longer be allowed to contribute to campaign funds.
    Corporations will no longer be allowed to contribute to campaign
    funds. All contributions will be attributable to a human being
    resident of the United States. There will be a limit on the amount
    of the contribution a single human being can make.

4. Health care will be privatized and universal. Health care programs
   will focus on the individual needs and how individuals can optimize
   their choices. If there is a public health care insurance plan in
   place, it will be privatized. Health care efforts by the government
   will focus on increasing supply to drive costs down. Increased
   numbers of MRI machines, medical schools, hospitals  and doctors
   will be the goal.

5. Sell all unprofitable assets to the highest bidders. Our government
   will quickly exit what was private enterprise.
   Amtrak, GM, Chrysler, will go. If they cannot be sold, they will be
   liquidated.

6. There will be no Czars.

7. Repeal the 16-th Amendment (income tax) and install a fair tax --
   thus eliminating income tax returns and most of the IRS. Government
   revenues do not change.

8. Repeal any removal of foreign tax credits.

9. Move the Department of Education into the downtown of cities whose
   schools are below the national average. Remove it from the capitol
   buildings. DOE will be responsible for making excellent
   schools from the Washington, DC school system or the DOE will cease
   to exist. It will be give 3 years so the 4-th year of the president term
   can be used to dissolve or bless it. If DC schools are not above the
   national average after 3 years DOE dies.

10. Global warming will be ignored until panels (juries) of average citizens
    can convict GHG's (Greenhouse Gases) of warming the climate. To convict, the scientists
    must convince a jury that they have a climate model, that it is
    accurate, that other climate models are also accurate and they all
    predict the same thing. Further, they must convince a jury that the
    climate is warming and has been warming since the start of the
    Industrial age. The onus will be on the scientists and
    global warming religious zealots to convict human behavior rather
    than presume the human behavior is the cause.

11. All tax increase bills will be single purpose bills. Nothing but
    tax rates will be allowed. No omnibus spending bills will be signed.
    Congress can halt the government but they will be publicly and
    repeatedly warned about no omnibus bills.

12. Most "pork" will be eliminated through exhaustion. Any pork that
      remains must be passed in individual bills forcing Senators and
      Representatives to have their votes recorded for each item.

13. Senators and Congresspersons will be limited to 12 years in office
    in the Congress. A person can spend 6 years as a Representative and
    6 years as a Senator, but only 12 years total in Congress. This would
    be a constitutional amendment, something I said I wouldn't be doing.
    This one is important, and I break the rule.

14. Companies that hire and keep illegal aliens will probably go
    bankrupt. Such companies will be prosecuted to the full extent
    of the law. All illegal aliens found by any means will be
    given a hearing and if found not legally in this country will
    be deported.
