If I was president...
It would take a revolution, I would give power back to the people.
Fuck Congress, we ask people what they want, and we let them vote on everything...any law, any rule, we take a vote.
You can vote anyway you want to: personal, email, text message, phone call, anything to get your voice counted.
Never again would our poor suffer. Health care is a right, not a privledge. We are the richest nation in the world, our citizens deserve medical treatment, a right to life.
Our nation would become independently self-sufficient. Instead of making our president more money on foreign oil, we find ways to power ourselves from the inside.
No more corporate take-over. We break up big companies and/or factory farms. No one person could have stock in more than 1 communication network.
No more viacomm multi-media, brainwash propaganda 24/7 on our citizens. Let anyone with talent shine through on their own show and/or network.
Peace-No more hypocritical secret agenda bullshit wars. We were attacked that day because they disagreed with how we live. Now we attack them and make sure they change to our way. And our "leader" won't let our kids come home until they do.
Our heroes would be paid like heroes. Tax the pro athletes, actors, and corporate execs, etc. and pay the people who actually risk their own lives for our country: soldiers. If a soldier is injured in war, he should live comfortably the rest of his life through our taxes. Why does our president and other political leaders make so much, and our soldiers so little?
Stop over-educating or at least stop stifiling creativity in our schools. There is not always a right way to do it. Let the children come up with new ways and see if they work. That is how we grow.
Why the fuck are nuclear weapons legal? We don't let anyone else build them, when we sit here with more than any other country. Outlaw weapons that can destroy our world.
No more 2-party system. I'm not a Republican, I'm not a democrat, I'm an American with my own ideas. Candidates would have a hard time mud-slinging if they had 24 different opponents with 24 sets of ideas. Candidates would be forced to decide what they believe and take a stand.
"If I was president...
I'd be elected on Friday
Assasinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
You'd go back to work on Monday
If I was president."

You're talking about Direct Democracy. Where everyone votes on EVERY issue. California has this type of system...that's the reason why Arnold Swazzengea.....(whatever) is Governor of the state. They vote on like a 100 issues every week for the whole state. If you're sick of politics and beauracracy now, think of how sick you'll be when everyone is involved, all the time, every month and year.
Direct Politics works okay with small communities and small groups, but not so well for Super-Power Nations. Plus, I can think of about 350 on the top head who I don't think should ever be allowed to vote...especially not several times a year on every issue.
Voter fraud is always a possibility in any election. Rolling Stone ran an article acusing the current administration of discounting approximately 300,000 votes in Ohio during the 2004 presidential election. We give every citizen a social security number, so why not make each voter fill out a quick survey including their soc #. If anyone complains that they had been voted for, those cases could be looked at individually.
haha. I loved what you had to write. I agree, I agree and I agree. You should run for president, I bet you'd be a jillion times more popular with the American public. By the way, I jock that Wyclef song :)
