Issues
What will lead us to a better future is well reasoned consideration of that future. We need to look beyond the moment and the next election cycle. This means putting smart energy towards education, security, energy, economy, environment, healthcare and the political systems that can help, or hurt, healthy development in all these areas.
Together - We can make a difference!
In order to rebuild and strengthen the "American Dream", we need to direct our energies at the core issues mentioned above and return to values that can work for all America. We need to all work together to address the issues of our time. A poll taken this year indicates the priorities of the American people.
Economy
Market economy and market regulation based on objective value limiting artificial market capacity. Based on the industrious behavior of individual, performance and productivity, thus enabling the common good of the people through equality of opportunity. Checks and balances to ensure that competition and innovation are not squeezed out of the American Dream. Protect and allow for potential to be achieved by the virtue of individual will, rather than subsidy without performance agreements.
Education
Performance based systems to motivate the achievement of higher potentials. We need to begin dealing with the multitude of factors that impede our children's education and transition out of the industrial model of education to foster innovation and critical thinking. Examining what works and what is needed will net greater progress and defined policy direction.
Energy
Clean, Safe, Sustainable systems and rapid transitions based on needs and technology to achieve energy independence and a healthier future. Enabling transitions to protect the health of the environment and provide sufficient energy is key to a stable healthy transition.
Environment
Global warming and climate change will be one of the main issues in the current and foreseeable future. It's impact will affect our economy and security with new challenges. The more rapidly we address these challenges the more affordable and feasible will be the solutions.
Healthcare
Empower the FDA and fight the special interests that are eroding our health. Unhealthy food and lifestyles are a major cause of increased cost of healthcare. We need to get back to where we were in around the 1950's to achieve this goal.
Political Reform
Get the special interests out of the electoral and legislative process. We need to work hard to reduce big money influence in politics. It will take leadership and courage to fix our electoral process. Unfortunately there is not enough political will to do so. The people will need to lead on this issue until we get a political leader willing to do what is right.
Security
The world is more dangerous for many reasons, partly because we are not paying attention to the global system and its dynamics. Mistakes of our current administration have agitated an already challenging situation. We need to regain a leadership position as an example of freedom and democracy as a republic. We need to respect what it means to be American with healthy governance as intended by the founders of this great nation with the spirit and intentions that inspired our independence.
