So, what do you think about a bill that mandates the Pledge of Allegiance a requirement? I believe that we should as well honor our nation and our troops sacrifice for freedom. We need more patriotism instilled in our children so that they appreciate the freedoms they have. We must also prevent this type of issue becoming just an outlet of propaganda to fuel political sides and only promote free thinking while loving and honoring our country.

We are at War!!!
We are at war....
In todays society everyone and everything is fast paced. Patience has become a long lost virtue and that is not excluding our own political processes. The fact if the matter is quite clear, we are at a critical time in history that puts all of our freedoms at risk.
We are at the threshold of a bright future and the brink of self destruction. We are at war! The war is not a distant enemy from a far away land. The enemy doesnt wear a uniform or fly their flag. The enemy was born and elected into power by you....and by me. There is a very select few who fight for you and I in our elected positions of power. For many, they use their own personal agenda to push their ideals of a country feared of their government. These elected officials use our lives, our rights and liberty as pawns in an elaborate chess game where one side of the board is untouchable and not a single piece can be lost, while you and I fight from the other side of the board, and we lose peices every day.
The battle is about freedom. Your right's and liberties and how they move to make the constitution extinct. A figment of our imagination where we are mindless souls who do the king and queens bidding.
The odds are stacked against us. They try to take our religion, our guns, our speech, our power to fight against them. Those in power are afraid of what you...and I will do. That fear is not of rising up against them. That is expected. What they fear most is that we take their power away. Just as our forefathers did to King George and all of his almighty military in 1776. This war cannot be won from sitting on the sidelines of ignorance, but on the front lines of intelligence. You must open your eyes and see the danger and the risks we all face if we do not stop the maddness from the beasts within our halls of Congress and the White House.
Our war, is that of self preservation. Our fight is to ensure the longevity and the freedoms our working constitution guarantees. Will you join the fight? Will you give the power back to the people? Will you rise as a patriot in casting these demons aside and electing new representation..... of the people....for the people.... By you...and I... The people of these United States of America..... Or will you watch from the sidelines as you freedom slips away into the dark of night like that of a child falling asleep.....and awaking in a new nightmare?

Minimum wage.
My thoughts on the raising of minimum wage debate that is such a hot topic currently. Please read and leave your feedback.
It is a revolution that is starting in the fast food industry but it is truly a fight for everyone on the poverty line. Minimum wage is supposed to be a buffer for all of those to be able to have a living wage and afford all the basic necessities deemed by society and surviva...l. Such as housing, transportation, food, healthcare, education etc. How can anyone afford to pay the cost for these items on an $8 hr minimum wage. It should be the responsibility of the employer in every way, to pay a living wage. It should be a part of our bill of rights to have fair, livable wages to stay above the poverty level, especially to pay for all the things we have to pay for and provide for our families as well.
Without a living wage, you have more people dependent on welfare and other programs to be able just to get by. People who disagree with a living wage are usually the people who complain about people and families being on public assistance and usually are the ones who live above the poverty level and always argue that prices of services and products must rise as well. This is a false ideal. Lets say for arguments sake that a company is making $10 million a year in clear profit. You are going to tell me if the pay there employees a raise in wages that *(for sake of argument) another $2 million in wage increases, that this company still isn't profitable? That is the argument made, that to keep profit margins high, they have to raise prices, when this simple example shows they can keep costs low, pay a living wage, and still be a profitable company with even more potential growth from happier employees, especially in retail where customer service depends so much on whether a person buys something they want vs what they need.
Any good company re-invests in itself to become better by good wages and good products/services. A happy employee makes a happy company which will always increase your business and your bottom line in the end.
On top of it all, the economy will grow rapidly after a recovery. The housing market can boom again all because people have a little extra money in their pocket to spend and live a little.
My bottom line is that minimum wage doesn't have to be $15 an hour, but it deserves raised to an appropriate level with a guaranteed annual cost of living raise to help the #AverageJoe.

Words from the past, ring true in the present!
Read the words of our forefathers, and think to yourself; do these same definitions and reasons apply to our elected leaders in power in our country today? Maybe we should follow our forefathers path and free ourselves from them. You decide if the same tyranny and oppression definitions are eerily similar or not.
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States... of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Rise up a Free American citizen!
"These are the times that try men's' souls. The summer
soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service
of their country; bur that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man
and woman. Tyranny.....is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation
with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Thomas Paine, Intro
to the The Crisis, December 19, 1776
These words ring
loud and clear with the troubles our nation faces today. Fear from our elected
officials and what they may do, to retaliate against the people who question
their intentions. Fear of being harassed by the IRS and privacy invaded by the
NSA or some other alphabet letter agency. Today we face tyranny unlike what our
forefathers were witnesses to yet their basic outline with the Bill of Rights
and the Declaration of Independence demands that “We the People” have the
responsibility to protect our freedoms from the corruption of government to
secure its safety, and our future. Or as some may understand it better from
Comic Book Creator Stan Lee as his character Uncle Ben told the infamous Peter
Parker aka Spiderman, “with great power, comes great responsibility.” That power
and responsibility lies in the hands of the American people.
Those phrases are
one in the same and they challenge you and I to stop the actions that have lead
us on this road. We must unite as our forefathers did in a common cause. That
cause is the future of our freedoms. That cause is also the preservation of our
great nation from those who are the cause of irreparable damage to its sovereignty
and the safety of its citizens. I look
back on some of the most inspirational Presidents we have had and I ask; what
would they do? President Washington fought a great battle to secure our
freedoms. President Lincoln fought an even greater battle to keep a nation,
united. President Reagan, fought oppression and lit the torch of freedom even
brighter when he fought politically, to “tear down this wall” to end the cold
war with Russia
Edmund Burke said it best when he stated; “The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.”
It is now up to us to preserve our nation. Are you ready?

Dear American Citizen,
I wish to share with you a letter that I have written to ask once again for the support of the citizens of our great nation.
Dear American citizen,
I have been reaching out to you, asking for your support as a candidate for President of the United States. I am well aware of the uphill battle that lies ahead and it is not an easy journey for an "average Joe" from the main streets of the greatest nation on this Earth, the United States of America.
President George Washington once said : "The hour is fast approaching, on which the Honor and Success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding Country depend. Remember officers and Soldiers, that you are free men, fighting for the blessings of Liberty -- that slavery will be your portion, and that of your posterity, if you do not acquit yourselves like men."
We know his reference was to the revolutionary war, although I believe these words ring true more now than ever when it comes to the situation our nation is in on this day, in this year, over 200 years later. We are faced with so much adversity on a daily basis that we must unite, as a nation. Not of party or affiliation, but of one country, one nation, free, so that we can once again rise above the tyranny that we face now in our country, from our own government. It is with great pride that I as an American citizen born free have had the life of a common man. I have faced obstacles that none should ever have, while having the wealth of family, and health and a life above the quality of many, while still being beneath the floor of poverty.
It is with great duty of each and every one of us that love this nation, to do our responsibility outlined in our Constitution to protect freedom and stand against those who dare to attack our nation foreign or domestic. From Terrorists, Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, dictators, and demons who threaten our Sovereignty and freedoms. I ask that you place aside any misconception and look not at the man, but the life that we all deserve and truly ask yourselves, are we truly free?
With your support, we can unite this nation. We can restore it's glory where the American dream is alive and well. Where our economy can grow. Where jobs are plentiful. Where you can worship God in public without fear of reprimand or retaliation. Where you can say the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools or recite a historical speech without having to be "politically correct". The foundation of this country was built on freedom of religion and should not be discriminated.
With your support, we can simplify our laws, and our government. We can give power back to the states while still having a federal government that is in charge, but not overreaching the constitution and the states ability to govern themselves. Most importantly with your support, we can be free once again.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and together we can restore our nation to glory and respect that it deserves.

Government Free Fall!
Our government is
on a freefall. Freedoms that our men and women in the military have fought to
protect and uphold are being stripped away from us through the actions of this
administration more than any other. Restrictions, unfair regulations, forced
healthcare, removing key elements of our military leadership, importing
terrorist into our country hidden as refugees who live off of the taxpayers to
attack our nation from within. Does this
sound like the plotline of a TV show or a Hollywood
blockbuster? Well I wish I could say it was, but it’s the plotline of an attack
on our nation from the current elected party that has control of this nation.
It is time we have
more "Average Joe's" stand up for our country. My time is now. I
would like to request an appearance on an upcoming show about our government
and initiating the actions of the sleeping "Manchurian candidate". That
sleeping Manchurian Candidate is none other than the American People. The
American citizens have become complacent with our government and now we sit
back and fear the government “we collectively elected” that is stripping
freedoms away, and democracy with laws such as the ACA, and the most recent “Nuclear
option” that takes away part of our checks and balance procedure to ensure
fairness across the land and completely impartial. We need to awaken and fight
to take back our country while we still can before it’s too late.
The road we are
traveling on we could see martial law
declared, our constitution suspended, all in the scheme of protection to gain
complete power and dissolve our nation into a country reigned by a dictator.
Actions of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and other main elements of the Obama
administration have already done this by the laws they have forced to be passed.
It is also happening right in front of us.
Are you prepared to
live in a third world country under the control of a dictator?
Are you prepared to see military personnel on every street
in every town in America
Are you prepared to be ushered into “camps” or towns just
because you have a different political or religious point of view or beliefs?
Our nation is on a
dangerous road to no recovery from these assaults. We must act now and take
back our government.
-Do not vote for those who wish to make government large,
and strip you of freedoms.
-Recall any elected official who supports bills that attack
the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and what they stand for.
-Vote for those who wish to repeal the ACA, get the NSA
under control, restores our military might, and most importantly those who
truly listen to your voice, the voice of the People. Yes there will be some
unpopular decisions by any elected official or administration and no one is
perfect but the guy or gal who fights for your rights, should be the one who
gets your vote.
That’s why I have decided to run for President. There are
too few “elected officials” that are truly out to represent you. They get elected
for the paycheck, the perks and push their agendas, but forget about the agenda
of our nation and that is Freedom!
It's time we unite together not as democrats and
republicans but as Americans.

Dear "average Joes" from main street,
Hello, my name is
Greg Pollitt and I have decided to formally announce my candidacy for the
office of President of the United
States
Big government is
taking over and it is attacking our bill of rights and in clear violation of our
constitution with its propaganda machine, the war on political parties via the
IRS scandal, invasion of privacy by the NSA and its complete failure in protecting
American citizens in Benghazi. We all now fear our government and what it is
capable of doing not to our possible enemies, but to its own citizens. It is
time that people like you and I raise the bar as every day American citizens and
we step up to make differences in our country that only “we the people” can do.
To you my fellow “Average
Joe” citizen of America, I promise when elected as President of the United States;
to reduce the size of our government, eliminate the out of control abuse on our
civil liberties and our constitution. I also promise to reduce foreign aide
packages and re-invest those billions of dollars back into our country to
create jobs and help our economy. We can reduce our national debt along with
our out of control spending practices and most importantly I will put your
voice, the voice of the American people, BACK into government where it belongs and
with your support we can achieve our goal.
Its time we unite
together not as democrats and republicans but as Americans.

The United States of America!!!!
It is a symbol of
hope, the brightest beacon of freedom, free from tyranny and oppression that
gives an opportunity for everyone in the world to come here as the worlds “capital”
of democracy to live free…….
This is what America
Many have asked what
my view of the government is. Quite frankly, I believe that our government
should be in comparison to a family, like a good parent. Our government (parent)
is meant to create an environment for us (its children) to grow prosperously.
It has systems in place to offer support (Welfare, Social Security,) to lend a
helping hand when we are down and out with no other option. Our government
should be in the education business. To teach our children to think outside of
the box, so we can be the most advanced in education in the world. That
critical thinking and early education has helped advance sciences across the
world due to people learning at accelerated levels, with better understanding
and it all starts with early education setting up those goals to achieve.
Our government also
should be there to help provide jobs for its children of America
How does government create jobs?
It is the
responsibility of our government to create healthy growth opportunities for
small and big businesses alike to be created and grow. It does to some degree
with the Small Business Administration, and various other programs that include
government grants. However there are billions of dollars that we send overseas
to foreign countries in aide packages. Some of these aide packages are well
intended to help fight hunger and diseases. Many of these packages are like
blank checks for them to use however necessary which may include government
buildup of arm, chemical weapons, anti government suppression, or buying a new
car. These foreign aide packages, need to be reigned in and that money on
foreign aid can go to pay our national debt, and re-investing in our own
economy by giving much more money in grants to state and local governments to
repair or create new infrastructure. This would allow them to hire Police
officers and EMS personnel. It would also allow the opportunity to change
our Un-employment office, to a new revamped EMPLOYMENT office. This program would
allow individuals to work full or part time jobs created by city and state
governments to work on those infrastructure jobs or city development projects
and clean up neighborhoods. This would help bring more pride from people who
help restore those communities and work together as a community to combat drugs
and crime rates in neighborhoods across the country empowering citizens to make
a difference.
Our government also
must create policies that make it better for businesses to create jobs and keep
jobs here in our country. These must be a 75-25% full time to part time job
ratio so we can establish a better market for our domestic and exported goods
that are of good quality and re-establish the good ole “Made in America
Our government should be as a good parent a provider of healthcare
opportunities for its citizens. Creating laws and policies that protect the
consumer along with giving tax incentives and government research grants are some
of the best ways to offset the rising costs of healthcare. Corporate greed vs.
patient care should never be a discussion. If Health care providers are to live
up to their potential and expectations of extending life expectancy, curing
diseases they need to be able to reign in their budgets and give a portion of
their profits back into their companies to offset rising costs. Keeping costs
low and affordable will create an atmosphere for patients old and new to invest
more time in their own healthcare by getting preventive treatment at prices they
can afford. Many things are not caught in the preventive category and lead to
the fighting of conditions to cure or heal from because of costs. This will give them more patients to treat,
which would exponentially grow their profits.
Finally as any good
parent, their may come a time to punish its children from its bad behavior.
This punishment comes in the forms of laws that establish criminal acts and outline
a correctional path. The problem has been enforcing these already created laws.
It has been the norm of our elected officials to just create new laws that are
a rehash of older laws that are honestly poorly enforced or not enough funding
to enforce for local and state governments. We rarely need NEW laws; we just
need better enforcement of existing laws. Our laws need to be re-evaluated, simplified
and properly enforced to allow our society to grow up, and be protected as we
should be.
Our society has become overly obsessed with creating new
laws to something we just don’t agree with. It all comes down to individual rights and
just because you don’t like something such as guns, it doesn’t mean we need a
law against them. This is just one example of how we try to police everything
that people just simply don’t like and is not necessary as a law. Use your
rights to protest, conveying your thoughts and voice your opinions. Unfortunately advocacy becomes un-necessary
laws in many cases and creates more ripples in society, than it attempts to
protect. Each new law passed becomes a smaller and smaller area of freedoms. It
starts with gun laws on ownership. Then it becomes the type of guns you can own.
Then it will be the type of ammo you can purchase. Each new law is a form of
control to ultimately obtain the agenda of Full control by the government.
There are some necessary laws needed, but they need to be of necessity and not
personal agendas.
Keep it simple America United States

Concerned Citizen
This came from a resident of Batavia Ohio who has shown interest in our campaign. I felt I should share her statement and question along with my answer for everyone who follows this page to read. She raises a very good point.
From Stephanie Zimmerman:
Greg Pollitt, I'm interested, however would like to know more about your thoughts. The middle class is shrinking while the wealthy and big busine...ss make more and more. The cards seem to be stacked against the average Joe and just supporting a family becomes more and more difficult. How do you plan to make a difference? We say we are the greatest nation in the world, yet we have children who go to bed hungry, people who sleep on the streets, elderly who choose between eating and taking their medication and millions who don't have health care. S, I am interested in making this great country better and would welcome your thoughts."
My response:
"One if the biggest issues we need to control, is foreign aid. I am all for helping countries that are in need where starvation and malnutrition hits approximately 75% of its citizens such as many African countries. The problem is something we have as human beings to combat and no man, woman or child should ever go to bed hungry. So as a nation, we need to reign in foreign aid to a minimum. We should not be buying friendship by paying them billions of tax dollars to train or harbor terrorist. I want to use those billions of dollars right here in our country. I would like to see everyone with a job. That is why I would like to see the unemployment office, become the employment office. By using existing tax dollars saved from paying foreign aide we can distribute a lot of that money to state and local governments to accomplish many issues such as rehabbing neighborhoods, infrastructure building or repair so on and so forth that create jobs. So with the revamped "employment bureau" if you lose your job you could work for state and local communities to earn a paycheck as well as draw your unemployment benefits as a way of prevention of many people falling back on the welfare system as possible with a temporary job or permanent if you so choose. Many families who when one person looses a job fall back to the welfare system for help, and that is what it is there for. These positions created by the communities some would be part time but there should be many new full time positions as well. These jobs would be a way of putting pride back in the communities as well as paying for operating existing programs and creating new ones to re-invest in our cities. Making better neighborhoods helps in appearance, helps reduce crime, creates many new jobs for police, fire, ems and gives you a chance to work and earn a living while still looking for a new job.
I would like to see business get a tax incentives to create (x) amount of jobs per year here in the United States and taxed high rates if they ship jobs overseas. I think with many big companies job creation should be mandated based on percentage of growth. This will provide many new jobs across the country, which will open the door for better competition in the job market as well as drastically reduce the employment rate. New jobs doesn't come with just that simplistic approach, but we must have living wage pay increased so that you can actually afford the necessities you need to put food on your table, clothes on your back, provided for your family, pay for health insurance, and finally have a dew dollars extra to spend that grows our economy. All of these pieces in place will grow the middle class, drastically reduce our poverty level. Reduce families and kids going hungry or homeless and get America on track where we should have been 30 yrs. ago to finally be that great nation we call ourselves. By saving many of the billions of dollars spent on foreign aid, this can all be achieved with a huge re-investment back in our country and this is just the beginning of my version of a new, "New Deal" .
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Is the USA in 2013 the old 1934 Germany?
As we look around our
country today we see many changes from just the last 50 years. We’ve seen the
civil rights movement that granted equal rights to African Americans. We have
witnessed the deaths of many influential people in our country from the assassination
of MLK and JFK along with the passing of Princess Diana, Former President
Ronald Regan and Pope John Paul II. All
of these people and many more not mentioned have had one common thread whether
they were African American, Caucasian, British, and Polish or American in
descent, they saw the best in the people of the world and how bright the future
could be as equals and united as one nation. Through difficult battles come
strong men and women to rise above the controversy and lead people into the
evolution of our generations. All that these men and women fought for in
attempting to get equality, end poverty or end communism have come in to jeopardy
the last few years.
The President of the
United States
We are on the brink of a major political shift that is
extremely dangerous. These tactics have been used in communist states or
dictatorships to oppress people, deny civil liberties, attack their way of
life, and force the people of their countries to live in a state of either
civil war, or a as a country controlled by a dictator. You see the small seemingly
harmless actions are what brought Adolph Hitler to power. The small changes to laws
and their enforcement capabilities are what made him a dictator. The total lack
and disregard of the people who elected him is what made him a tyrant. How are
the actions of this President of the United States
Some comparisons are
strong, but make no mistake about it, we are on a very dangerous path to self
destruction but I refuse to believe that our country will allow that to happen.
I believe that in the event actions that lead us further down this road can be
stopped, and reversed before we fall as a democracy. I have faith in the
strength of our citizens in political or military positions and the brave men
and women in public service via the domestic Police forces across our country
along with the FBI, HHS, DEA, F.E.M.A., and most importantly our mighty
military of the UNITED STATES to never allow this to come to fruition.
We can make the
changes before it gets worse. We can start with peaceful protests and petitions
to remove and or amend laws that are hazardous to our country, our citizens and
the constitution. We can recall elected officials who support, sign or do
nothing to fight back to defend the people who have elected them. Then hold special elections to fill those
positions with someone of the people who will strive to accomplish those
missions. If it is criminal in nature we can hold them on trial by a non-federal
civilian court.
This final step
should never have to be a choice. The order of checks and balances put in place
should prevent this from ever happening but if all else fails and we are left
with no other choice, then we have a revolution by force. This happens when the
military steps in to protect the Constitution of the United States Egypt
It is not all gloom
and doom as it seems. All of this can and should be prevented. It is up to us,
the American people to not be fooled by the actions of our elected officials.
We must involve ourselves into the actions and decisions they attempt. We
should all look into the laws that are proposed; not just the ones we fear will
affect us on an individual basis but look at it as a whole and its potential
effects on our neighbors, our friends, our family and our nation. As citizens
we must invest in our future and voice the concerns about proposed amendments
and laws and we must take action when necessary. We as adults have the responsibility
to provide for ourselves, and our families this is one more item to the list of
provisions that is usually neglected until it’s too late. Contrary to what it
may seem when you watch media outlets, this is the UNITED SATES OF AMERICA! Let’s
keep it that way.

Thank You
Hello all of our supporters. I recently had a conversation
in which i was asked several questions. During that conversation I posted this
response to a supporter of America
Thank you for your
support not only in me but the "American Dream" that we all share.
Freedom. Our protection of our Bill of Rights and no one shall infringe upon
those guaranteed freedoms that protect our country. Thank you for supporting
America of the future in which we still hold the ideals and principals of the
past as a guiding light to prosperity and evolution of human kind. A future
that no child is saddled with thousands of dollars in debt to pay to our
government. A future where no government is above the people in which elect
them. A future where every man woman and child works together as a
"family" to protect those values and each other. Our forefathers
fought against the same type of tyranny 237 years ago that we face today only
our enemy has been brewing from within. It shares the same face that dictators
have shared as they turned their countries to a totalitarian state and punished
and killed millions of people around the world in their efforts to control people
and their way of life in all cultures. That face is not worn by a man or a woman,
but that of evil intent. Damnation of the people it fears will rise above its
antics and take what it holds most dear....POWER. That is why we must give the
power back to the people so that we control our own destiny, not the will of
some who have evil intent that will only lead to ours and their destruction. We
are the worlds longest sustaining democracy.. It's time we acted like it and
keep those principals that made it happen.

America under Attack!!!
Constitution suspended!
The nation will be convening laws to settle and fix the problems that we face.
Martial law declared and leadership will hold office indefinitely till which a time matters can be resolved.
This sounds terrifying and many believe it could never happen here. The truth is that our country has changed rapidly and many don’t see the terrible things that are happening below the radar. These three events listed above are exactly what happened to Germany United States of America
Every day our leadership has seemingly turned its eyes away from the constitution viewing it as an eyesore that prevents them from total domination and forcing us to do what “they” see necessary such as the NDAA act, the invasion of privacy on American citizens via the NSA (aka Big Brother) regulations were removed put in place on the Patriot Act to protect American citizens by the Obama administration, and the attacks on the Bill of Rights along with the attacks and censorship of journalist and our 2nd amendment . That is not to mention the other illegal activities to attack political parties via abuse of the IRS against Tea Party members and organizations that stood against Obama the last 5 years. The illegal attacks via drones on U.S.
Why haven’t President Obama, and his administration not be held accountable by being impeached and possibly removed from office as a result of his agenda against the better interests of America
We can see the road we are traveling on causing major issues in this country that could include events that led to the downfall in Germany
according to one ACLU article posted on their website in March of 2012 (https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/how-big-deal-hr-347-criminalizing-protest-bill). How can you freely speak against the government and get attention with its leaders around to be heard, if they can prevent your protest, or arrest you on a whim that they decide?
Yes, I use Germany as the example here against other dictatorships, because it was the inaction of the people to stop the forthcoming train wreck they all may or may not have seen coming that led to the torture and murdering of millions of people to keep power and enforce their will upon their country and attempt the takeover of the world. This administration has committed more attacks on our civil liberties thanGreat Britain

Americans, time to Unite!!!!!
I am embarrassed to
call this man the President of the United States
Mr. Obama, Your
mission is to unite this country like a father would with his children when
they fight. You sit them down, tell them they are both wrong for what they have
done, and make them work together to fix the issues they created “TOGETHER”.
This party conflict
is why we still have a divided country that can’t get passed issues like fixing
healthcare, creating better lives for our aging seniors, taking care of our war
veterans and racism. Issues that should not be hearing about to this day, is
still in mainstream media because there is one person that is elected to unite
everyone and push forward fixing these issues and leaving some issues in the
dust.
Instead our elected
leader points fingers at people. He blames everyone else for problems, instead of
pushing for people on both sides of the aisle as Americans not as Democrats or
Republicans to unite and sit down at a table and work it out and stop creating
issues and start fixing them.
Mr. President do
your job to unite this country and if you can’t stop creating issues yourself
by dividing this country, pointing fingers and blaming certain people when it
is everyone’s fault then I ask you to step down as President and let someone
else do the job you were elected to do. This issue is created by failure to
treat Americans equally and unbiased, not to mention the possible other things
that your administration alone has failed in through the IRS Scandal, the
Benghazi attacks, NDAA, and the restrictions you removed from the Patriot act
that protected American citizens. Please start doing your job or I’ll be
looking for your resignation made publicly to the American People in the next
few weeks.
It is not just the
President’s fault it is also the members of both houses of Congress in the
majority of them are concerned with their own campaign funding, or lining their
own pockets to put on a play in front of the American people and the world in Washington D.C.
Do your jobs for the American people that you were elected
for or step down as well.
Do what
is right for Americans today, not tomorrow!
It’s time we are
simply just Americans, no party affiliations, just people who want to make life
better for everyone in our country so that every nation on this planet will be
jealous. So that they will strive to be like us and make the necessary changes
in their own countries to increase the living, Educational, health benefits and
beyond that we all as “HUMAN BEINGS” are entitled to.
Join me with the fight today!!!!!

Government shutdown and Affordable Healthcare Act
This problem is solely on the President. The President forced this down our throats when he rammed the Affordable Healthcare Act (aka Obamacare) through his first term with a Democratic majority controlled congress. It has been a fight on that issue for nearly 3 years, no one wants it and we can already see employers laying off full and part time positions and many reducing the quality of Healthcare that they continue to offer their employees or dropping family members for their coverage’s. So yes he should have expected a fight on this matter especially its unconstitutionality by excluding himself and his family along with members of Congress from the law which is illegal according to our Constitution.
The last straw should have been him agreeing to the terms that the House sent over and that was including a first year exclusion from a fine that many big businesses have and to withdraw the exclusions for politicians and have them enrolled in the same healthcare plan.
What needs to be done is have Healthcare providers re-write their policies and use Auto Insurance as a model if the wish to mandate that everyone has healthcare insurance with similar premiums. That model is mandatory for drivers, and affordable for everyone except those who have broken the law by speeding tickets or accidents. You cannot have rising premiums for an individual that eats a double cheeseburger vs. a person who eats a veggie burger. It would need to be flat rate across the board and have no, restrictions or pre-exemptions of any kind and affordable for everyone and not controlled by the government at all.
This unfortunately isn’t a one sided party created issue. “We the people” have allowed it to grow after we created it. Let’s change that! No more party affiliation, its time we were simply Americans who love and care for our countries future!
It’s time we make a stand against the tyranny that we have let overtake our government. It’s time the voice of the people elects a person of the people to make some real changes.

You cannot have rising premiums for an individual that eats a double cheeseburger vs. a person who eats a veggie burger. It would need to be flat rate across the board and have no, restrictions or pre-exemptions of any kind and affordable for everyone and not controlled by the government at all.
This unfortunately isn’t a one sided party created issue. “We the people” have allowed it to grow after we created it. Let’s change that! No more party affiliation, its time we were simply Americans who love and care for our countries future!
It’s time we make a stand against the tyranny that we have let overtake our government. It’s time the voice of the people elects a person of the people to make some real changes.

Syria
If chemical weapons were in fact used in Syria something should be done about it. The United Nations peacekeeping force should intervene to prevent further chemical weapons usage. This country is obviously in a state of civil war and it is something that the nation of Syria must unfortunately go through. This is not a mission for the United States yet to become involved in and should be left to the United Nation forces to access the situation, determine clearly and prove chemical weapons useage then deal with them accordingly. The United States should not jump the gun and get us involved in another civil war unless all other options are lost.
I agree 100%, that no nation should ever be allowed to use chemical weapons on anyone in peace, or at war. I propose that as the leader in the Free World we push for the enforcement in ban and usage of chemical weapons and allow the United Nations inspection teams to randomly inspect every nation including ...our own to ensure the destruction of these types of weapons. "THERE IS NO ROOM IN WAREFARE FOR CHEMICAL WEAPONS".
When I was growing up and got in to many scuffles in and out of school, my grandfather taught me that if you get into a fight what ever the reason, right or wrong, you fight with every inch of your soul to defend yourself and others. He also taught me that even if you lose that fight, you always fight fair. So in that I am saying if you cant win with traditional warfare and have to resort to chemical weapons attacks, are you any better than your opposition?
I propose that Mr. President continue to pursue international support and action by the United Nations . If and only if no one will step up to the table, that we do take forms of action to prevent any further usages of chemical weapons, and capture those responsible to be held in world court and prosecuted of their crimes, even if we must go to war.
We must force the United Nations to do the job of enforcing international law. I believe with enough pressure and diplomatic procedures that our involvement in another war can be prevented as long as the United Nations and international support condemns this action and stands up against this tyrannical and disgusting attack on its people.

The Syria situation is not an easy decision. On one hand we cannot allow any nation to perform chemical weapons attacks on anyone. Any resolution we try to enforce will only anger their allies in Russia, China, and Iran which will create even more unrest in that seriously unstable region. On the other hand we have Al Qaeda leading the rebels against the tyrannical Syrian administration. So we have ...a case of our hands being tied either way. So I have to agree with Senator Rand Paul in staying completely out of this until we know who would be in power after our intervention. We cannot afford internationally another terrorist producing / harboring nation and we cannot allow an international "pass" on the use of Chemical/Biological/Nuclear weapons and we cannot involve ourselves in another civil war that could escalate globally.
Living Wage
The recent strike by McDonald's employees and other fast food establishments over the right to earn a living wage and form unions has been a stimulating event in how every American feels. Most companies do not offer a cost of living increase yearly to help offset the growth of costs across the board, which leaves many families working two or more jobs just to scrape by.
The hardest factor on o...ur economic situation has been gas and oil prices. What used to cost me to fill my truck was $25-30 now is $75-90 which is beyond insane. This caused manufacturing, shipping and transportation jobs to raise their costs but yet you and I do not get a raise in pay to help offset these and leaves us with less money to buy the more expensive groceries and other goods. This one factor if rise in oil prices has single handedly created the recession we are in. The housing market dropped, employers cut jobs, all of this because oil companies have us right where they want us....putting money in their bank accounts while almost each quarter many oil companies are posting record profits. It has also caused for the first time in history for a war to not stimulate an economy which through war debts etc would normally reduce our national debt.
These factors are why our country is hurting economicaly and making it so hard for the "AverageJoe" to make a living and support their families and forcing many to seek help through public assistance which has added to the increase of our national debt.
How no one in Washington D.C. can see this is crazy. That is why I have been an advocate to raise minimum wage federally to at least $10 per hour but I'm definitely on board for supporting legislation that raises the minimum wage to $15 per hour. Now people will say that for example your dollar menu items will go away and a double cheeseburger will now be $4.. This isnt necessarily true. Yes it will cut into companies profits at the beginning. The after effects is where they will make it back up and here's why.
Now that you earn a living wage, you are happier, you tend to care more about your job and the effort you put in and consumers notice this. If they have a more enjoyable time at your restaurant or retail establishment, they are more likely to return and through cause and effect spend more money because they also have more money and can afford to purchase maybe something other than a necessity.
This is why I want to raise minimum wages. This is why I want to force a fight for alternative energy to produce hydrogen and electric hybrid vehicles and eliminate ourselves from the forced rape by the oils companies have on our families and our country. This is why you and I need to stand together and make the American people's voice be heard loud and clear that "We the people " come first and shoul be supported before anyone else. This is why I am your candidate to be the "AverageJoe4President2016" and how we take back our country.

American Dream?
I want to talk about my favorite fairytale called "The lost American Dream".
Once upon a time, there was a country that was the brightest beacon of freedom in the world. It was free from oppression, you had a guaranteed set of rights that were not to ever be infringed upon and one a single person in the family could be the provider and quality family time was valued above all else. Then came t...he second revolution where things became unraveled.
Now it takes both members if the family to be the provider and in many cases they have to have more than one job just to accomplish that. The American family values have been list to those who are the worker ants. The peasants to the industrialized big business "kings" have to give up many family events even on holidays because big business has seemed to deem it necessary that only the elite can enjoy family time because you and I have to work to make their dream a reality. The initiative of family values are long but gone and that dream has long since died.
I propose legislation that would force businesses to pay living wages with an annual cost of living increase in pay on top of performance based reviews to also gain raises in pay. The legislation would also prevent businesses from working on federal holidays excluding medical facilities and police and emergency crews . These services are in much need and very difficult to reduce their valued efforts to protect and save lives. I would strongly encourage these services to reduce as much time served on these holidays so that each person can work but shifts be limited on duration so everyone has family time. Its time we enjoy family life again.

Our future
America, the final frontier. This is a challenge not if science fiction, but if science fact. Oil prices have single handedly crippled our economy. Oil along with bad decisions by banks crippled the housing market. Oil has also so single handedly created the largest lower class since the great depression. Yet you and I take multiple jobs, for our families to live and provide for them to survive. ...Our government should serve in its best interest of making the lives of our citizens and countrymen better. Nations across the globe should be envious of our ability to rise above defeat, poverty, and the ability to provide for its own like no other, and then they strive to be like us in their own nations and our world can be at peace with itself.
I always thought of our government to be like an old story I was told as a child about a King. The King was called to power by the people of a village to defend against an evil empire. Though humbled, the King looked at this with great responsibility and with all the wealth his fellow men gave him as king, he always have back. He would buy cattle and seed for farmers to grow for food. He would buy food from the farmers to help with the poorest of the poor. The people respected him and fought beside him with pride and honor.
This fairytale is how I envisioned our government not as a King, but a government that was elected from pride an honor. Leaders who with all their wealth who would give back to the people who supported them. Leaders who take care of their people before themselves and make our country greater than ever.
That is why we must stop foreign aid to countries that grow terrorism and offer only assistance to those who need it, but not at am expense to our own people. Our eleted officials must have a greater sense of its own people and country before they could ever expand democracy and promote freedom to the world.
So I ask that you stand with me and help make our country great. Lets build a nation that is not better than another, but one of honesty, integrity and truly free.
Thank you all for your continued and growing support. Lets work together, lets do it now.

Healthcare revision
2016 Presidential Platform Healthcare revision:
After some discussion and reflection through private parties and those through social media via debates on parts of my Presidential Platform, I have come to a realization that just maybe a government provided health care may not be the last resort or the best "fix all" to a low cost affordable, health care policy that protects you when you need it most. Here is a revision or an alternative to my pre-posted platform policy on Health care.
I am open to competition that keeps the heath care policies prices low. Just like a full coverage car insurance plan that covers everything after your deductable, so should healthcare. If you have an insurance policy then it should cover you 100% and no questions about it. My vision of a true health insurance plan sought out by an individual or family or one that is provided by our government is one that offers complete coverage. A government provided program (i.e. welfare program) offers this type of ability with some companies enforcing policies such as what can or can’t be used or during a dental or DR’s visit. These exceptions are unacceptable.
On your personal policy, you would pay a low cost established co-pay that deducts from your policies deductable (i.e. $500) and all medical services are covered with no “RED TAPE” or exclusions. You should not have to worry about whether or not you have coverage to visit the Dr’s office or hospitals etc to preserve and extend your life. If you have a common cold, or AIDS, or in need of an organ transplant you should not be screened or financially profiled on your ability to afford life.
I am firmly against high prices, any type of “REDTAPE” or exclusion provisions in any type of Healthcare policy. This needs to be a focus of everyone and I believe everyone should have insurance; it should not be mandatory or provisional like the current Affordable Health Care Act (aka ObamaCare). You should have a choice and it be an affordable choice.

Daily Rant
The tragic events are still being reported on what happens today at the Navy Yard incident. The tragic loss of life and unfortunate events that took place remind us that every day, life is precious. We can not take anything for granted and must live each day like it is our last.
Now with this incident you will have the people on the left and right begin arguing once again about gun control. Let me make it clear one last time, evil exists in the human heart, not in cold hard steel, aluminum, plastic or composite components that make up a firearm. It has no ill will toward anyone and in the hands of someone honorable it is a aid in protection and in the hands of evil it carries out the deeds of impurity of one heart and mind. The gun control debate ended in 1791 when it was ratified as part of our bill of rights in the constitution of the United States. Taking guns away will only harm the people who want to defend themselves or recreational purposes. In case you people way out there on the left who want to ban every gun on the planet weren't aware, criminals do not obey the law. They will still obtain weapons and use them to hurt the innocent. The right to defend ourselves,our families and our property is guaranteed. How about we enforce laws that actually would prevent criminals from getting an opportunity to harm someone. Start enforcing current laws before you write new ones that hurt everyone because you are a poor leader.
