WE THE PEOPLE

BY

KENNETH NADDEO

Is there anyone else out there that is tired of listening to the same promises and lies from our elected officials?

Today our country is in serious trouble and we are out of time to correct it. Our supreme court now almost at will rewrites the constitution based on some obscure theory of a living constitution, what a crock.

Our constitution and the Christian beliefs that our founders relied on are what has made us a great nation. Have we always done the right thing in foreign affairs? No. Have we always done the right thing with respect of treatment of all of our citizens? No. Have we been wrong at least as many times as we have been right? Yes. Do we need to make a drastic change in the way things are done, here and abroad? Yes.

But where to start? Here is what I would do if running for President right now.

WE THE PEOPLE need to take control over our lives, WE THE PEOPLE need to recall all of our elected officials and fire them for lying to us, for giving us a raw deal, for serving their self interests over those of WE THE PEOPLE, they caused this crises and WE THE PEOPLE must fix it. Public service was never meant to be a career with retirement benefits. There needs to be term limits on all political offices. Eliminate the retirement plan for all politicians. Send all the lobbyists home to find some other form of work that does not cost WE THE PEOPLE. WE THE PEOPLE need to take control of our natural resources and get to work providing the energy we need now, we need to buy us the time for newer technologies to come on line and not go broke in the process.

The President should not have to get the approval of congress for appointments to the cabinet. It’s the president’s advisers not congress they don’t get a say. As President I would roll back all laws passed in the last 50 years, and submit new laws to the constitution as written. If WE THE PEOPLE want a law that goes against the written constitution then WE THE PEOPLE need to call for an amendment to the constitution, not a law imposed by a court.

Also WE THE PEOPLE need to make it known that anyone living in the United States that does not love the country, the flag, support our armed forces, or like the words UNDER GOD need to leave, get the heck out. These are the things that made us great in spite of all our faults. We are made up of many diverse cultures that have come together and united as WE THE PEOPLE.

WE THE PEOPLE need to demand an end to the tax system forced upon us and have it replaced with a simple consumption tax so everyone pays based on spending not on income. This alone would eliminate the national debt in just a few years and create more jobs here than you can imagine.

WE THE PEOPLE need to call an end to the abuses of the welfare system. This was meant to help in times of need not to become a way of life. We need to help these people get jobs that make since and can support them and their families. If they refuse then they are dropped from the roles, those that refuse to work for their fair share, are a burden and financial and emotional drain on those of us that do our part.

WE THE PEOPLE can create a workable and affordable healthcare system without the government being involved taking half the money for administrative costs.

WE THE PEOPLE need to see to it that our elderly, infirm, and our veterans are taken care of. That those that have worked all their lives can retire in dignity and not have to worry about the cost of their healthcare.

WE THE PEOPLE need to get back to what works and works great.

WE THE PEOPLE have the power to change things, this is our right, our heritage, and like our founding fathers we must no longer allow the few to rule WE THE PEOPLE like mindless sheep.
