Good evening, my friends,
Yes, elect me President. The first thing I would do is fire every one of Obama’s Czars. There are no Czars in America - only Russia had them, and they didn’t do well with them.
Second thing on my agenda would be stopping all money from going to any foreign country. We need our hard-earned money here. We’ve propped up too many governments who turned on us as soon as they could. Foreign aid would be out the window.
Third would be bringing our troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq. We did our bit to bring them democracy - if they truly want peace, let them earn it themselves. I really don’t believe either country is worth the price of one of our fighting men or women.
Fourth would be closing most of our bases in foreign lands. There are a few that are necessary, but very few. If those countries really want those bases, let them pay for them. South Korea does - why not the rest of the world?
Fifth would be enforcing the immigration law fully. What part of “ILLEGAL” don’t you understand? Why do we turn our back when someone enters OUR country illegally? It’s a crime, just like robbery, murder or rape. Those are all illegal - should we turn our backs on those who commit those crimes too?
And, yes, I’d hunt down those eleven million who are here illegally. There are people standing in line, waiting for citizenship in our great nation and doing it the LEGAL way. Why should they go to the end of the line? There would be NO amnesty. Again, ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL.
Then, I’d create the best mass transportation railroad in the world. Europe has trains that travel 200 miles an hour and get you there on time. We can do better!
Think of the jobs I’d create and the jobs connected with the railroad that would grow through small businesses.
I’ve travelled throughout Europe and have seen the shops in the main railroad stations in every city. Those are small businesses and they are flourishing.
Jobs by the millions would be created - people who sell tickets, track maintainers, conductors, waiters in the dining cars, porters to carry your bags, stewards to help you on board the train, and so on.
And, I’d drill, baby, drill in every place we find oil. Why should we ask other countries to drill off their shores and then pay the high prices they charge to save our shores? There are plenty of places on dry land to drill. Again, this puts people back to work.
Yeah, I know - we had ONE oil spill in over 50,000 oil wells drilled, and that was because it was drilled in DEEP water.
The tree huggers in California need to realize we must be self-sufficient in our energy needs. To help out there, I’d put up as many windmills as necessary to produce the energy we need. To me, they are beautiful.
I’d clean house in government. I’d hire Inspector Generals who really know their business and have them inspect every branch of government to find waste and fraud. Those who are doing jobs that have no meaning would find themselves in the unemployment line like the millions who are now looking for work - but with one exception - I’d create jobs for them.
Another item would be the people living on the “dole”. If you are capable of working and you are offered a job - you’d better take it. If you don’t, your free ride on the government money train is over. You are off welfare, regardless of how many children you have brought into this world to bolster your government paycheck.
I’d stop the flow of drugs into this country by putting thousands and thousands of our troops on the borders. Every box, crate, truck, van, car, ship, airplane and item that is imported into the USA would be searched thoroughly. Drug runners on the border would be met with deadly force and dealt with as criminals.
I’d stop the use of Marijuana as “medicinal”. Pot creates more problems than it ever solves.
The drug dealers in every state would find themselves targeted by a highly trained and equipped task force of FBI and local law enforcement. Anyone dealing in drugs would receive a life sentence.
And, speaking of prisons, I’d turn them into places where any sane man or woman would never want to return to. You wouldn’t lie about watching color TV in air conditioned comfort. You’d work outside in the sun and you’d work hard to earn your keep.
The sheriff in Arizona has it right. Baloney sandwiches and kool aide are fine, and pink jump suits would be standard. I love that guy!
I’d do away with earmarks. If I couldn’t get Congress to pass a bill making it illegal, I’d go on TV and read every single earmark to the American public and tell who the jerk was who sponsored such nonsense.
Congress would not vote for a pay raise for themselves. That would be a yearly national vote and the majority would rule, even if they wanted to reduce Congressional wages.
I’d make it illegal for any union to donate money to anyone running for a political office. And, I mean ANYONE!
I’d establish new Army/Air Force/Navy/Marine bases in every state that has a border with another country - that includes Canada.
I’d do away with the Income tax laws and establish a flat tax of ten percent across the board - regardless of how much you earn. Everyone would pay their fair share.
We’d have a balanced budget, only better than that. I’d set a limit of 75% of the money that comes in that can be spent. 25% would go to pay down the huge debt we owe each year. There would be no slush funds or hidden money.
The money saved from not funding any more wars in other lands could help us become solvent in a few years.
I’d repeal Obamacare immediately. Then I’d work with both parties to establish a fair and balanced health care program. Insurance companies could sell across state lines.
Our troops would get the best care anywhere, anytime. If anyone in the government got a raise, it would be the military first.
Our bridges and roads would be updated, creating yet more jobs. There would be oversight to prevent corruption.
There are a million other things I’d do, but it takes too long to write them all down.
And, yes, my Presidency would be TRULY TRANSPARENT. I’d spend time in the oval office instead of making speeches throughout the land and attempting to get re-elected. If I do a good job, I’ll be in office more than one term. The people will speak for me with their votes.
So, pass this on and post it on You Tube, Facebook and anywhere the American public can see it.
I love America as it was when I was a child – free, hard working people who created the best country in the world. We can still be the same. We just need to get rid of the dead wood in our system by voting against any incumbent and elect GOOD people who really care for America and Americans.
I’m one of those. God Bless America.
Until next time,
Vote for me,
Karl Boyd Hoepfner
