Declaration of Political Common Sense

We the People…

Want our laws enforced, stealing is stealing whether you are in the projects or in the board room. We don’t need more regulation; we need what we have enforced.

Want a simple flat tax that requires no return, has no loopholes, no death tax, or other hidden taxes.

Want everyone to vote. Elections should be decided by a true majority.

Want our elected officials to be in those positions grudgingly. This should be a civic duty not an occupation.

Want our leaders to spend at least twice as much time leading as they do campaigning.

Want no appointed or elected official to have a position for life.

Want laws to be written in plain English, with no unrelated riders or earmarks, so everyone can understand them.

Want to slowly phase out Social Security in favor of Mandatory Retirement Accounts which will be invested in Treasuries so American’s are the largest investor in America again.

Want to stop the insanity of powering our homes, our cars, and our businesses with limited resources that will one day run out.

Want our healthcare coverage to come from medical professionals instead of insurance companies who are working in collusion with our employers.

Want all children to have quality healthcare.

Want lobbyist and insurance companies to get out of the way of life saving advances in science and technology.

Want to provide for those in need of help but only if they are willing to help themselves. Everyone works – everyone can contribute!

Want all families to have safe housing which they can have equity in and call home.

Want to have fresh drinking water for our great grandchildren.

Want our children’s classes taught in English and our teachers graded more stringently than our children.

Want to reduce military spending while expanding our military strength. It’s time to restructure the redundancy and cross service conflict.

Want every American citizen to have a passport as their legal ID.

Want to stop employers from hiring people without a passports or work visas.

Want your poor and hungry but not your apathetic and criminal.

Want guns taken away from criminals not law abiding citizens.

Want our elected officials to understand that marriage is a religious ceremony and to leave contracts, licenses, and law out of it.

Want to stop buying the friendship of other countries.

We elect our representatives so one voice can speak our mind in general assembly. We take responsibility for not being clear and, at times, having the minority speak louder than the majority. The confusion will end here, with this document, and the detailed plans to follow. Let it be known to any, and all, who wish to represent us; this document is not a wish list but instead a list of demands. The quality of your worth as our representatives will be measured against your ability to deliver…We the People.

  1. We not only need to limit the Supreme Court Justices term but we need to make sure some of these Congressmen don't stay in office forever like Kennedy, Frank, and Byrd have. I think they are just getting elected because people are used to them and not because they are effetcive anymore.

  2. I wish Hillary Clinton would have done more real work for New York instead of campaigning, on the tax payers dime, for her entire stay in the Empire State.

  3. I couldn't agree with you more! Watch for our section on Term Limits and Finance Reform, I think you'll be very happy with what we've proposed.
