Dear Mr. President Barack Obama,
I start this letter, and one of many with that title. As I hope the next 4 years are about; two key points.
One, economic sovereignty for the voiceless -- our people as "We The People," have been held hostile by extreme widely views, and dysfunction in Washington D.C.. You did an approach to work with members of congress; to do as they pleased cap spending, and put a control on the debt. But in that process of taking $1.3 trillion dollars out of the budget, that was passed in the House of Representatives in 2010. We involuntarily created a stagnant economy, deducted the wealth of low-middle class wage earners, and made some of them poor. Created, occupations and presentations were the victims of this spiraling economy became occupiers on Wall Street -- with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Even though we have seen economic wealth increases for those; who have been given a chance. There have been horrible setback stories from those engulfed in this political rivalry in Washington -- with the Senate, and Executive branch, fighting with the House of Representatives. The dysfunction in congress, shouldn't stream into the public life. America, isn't known for being a dead beat nation -- as fringe politics; never controlled the national agenda. We are not a country bound by districts alone -- since we drafted a constitution that reads: The United States of America; not the Representative Districts United in North America. We pledge allegiance to a flag with 50 states, not a flag with 435 districts. As it is written in language of our constitution that no one district can have more power than the rights of the states. It is also written in the code of ethic, drafted by the same creators, of our constitution -- that no one party has the right, to hold colonies hostage by partisan views; when they broke up the Democratic Federation, and created the Democratic Whip, where it later became the republican party.
Even then, representatives of a district didn't have more governing control over a nation, than the states would. As the chain of operation goes: Presidential office, second Executive Offices; third Senate, fourth House of Representatives; fifth the Judicial Branch, and finally the people. They didn't draft rules and regulations that gave the House of Representatives more power than the four offices; appointed ahead of them. The rules clearly state that the house of representatives have one job, and one goal -- which is to fund the president's agenda. The house of representatives can't set the American agenda, plus make choices of what roles government should play -- without the following the role for America's ethics codes on who has the chain of commands.
What I'm trying to say in that long rant on our country's history -- is the notion that you're the President of The United States; presidents set the agenda, presidents call for action, presidents ask or send down budgets, presidents make the choice on which role government can play for 4 years. And its the people that elect presidents, so maybe the house of representatives need to fall in line with the order of our creating documents, the constitution and the ethics of America. Since it was Ben Franklin that said [not in these exact words but this theory]: "No district representative should have more power than a state / colony leader on what role government can play." In America we have one president, not 435 representatives plus one president. We elect one party to represent the agenda of the country, not 435 representative views on where the country can go.
The public have spoken, they want investments in Alternative Energy -- that leads to job creation. They want a budget balanced in a responsible manner, that allows the economic wealth of this country's citizens to grow. Grow in a way where everyone is paying their fair share, and everyone is playing by the same set of rules. Rules that allow a millionaires' tax for the top 1%, a payroll deduction for the middle class, a simplified individual tax code, plus a modernized corporate tax code. Tax codes, that makes sure separate individual taxes aren't gamesmanship for political agendas. As those who can afford to pay a little more; pays a little more on their individual accounts. Also incorporate a modernized corporate tax code, that closes loopholes for companies that ship jobs overseas, or downsizing employment to increase market exploitation.
Make critical investments for companies that invest right here in America. Like, a $1.3 trillion dollar employment investment to the Equal Employment Opportunity fund. Where it will allow companies to write off employment credits and deductions on their employment expenses, that are deductible from a corporate tax account, to ensure employment creation in America. This critical restoration will save 2.4 million jobs in our country's infrastructure sectors, plus make sure our defense department isn't defaulting on their obligation to take care of our veterans. Help stabilized the working poor, and struggling middle class, that raises the minimum wage standards to either $8.50 or $10 dollars an hour. While making sure that the average working hour is 40 hours per week for full-time employment, and no less than 20 hours per week for part-time employment. Plus, penalize companies that layoff workers, while increasing pension plans, and stock incentives for members of the executive branch.
To make sure our families are safe with an increasing resolve to bring forth compromising immigration reform. People, shouldn't have to live in the shadows any more, as talented students can be a vital tool for this country's success. They shouldn't have to sit behind, while being ahead. There should be a system that allows the 11 million non-documented workers who are already here, to get the proper treatment and sent to the right line for citizenship. It also shouldn't take 20 or more years for an aspiring legal resident on becoming a citizen of this country. Faster citizenship, for those who have waited; did their due diligence, followed the rules; paid their fair share, allows a less congested INS system on becoming the gate way it once was in our history's past.
Second; with the resolve of this great nation our leaders owe the public one important factor; public safety. The need for comprehensive reform of America's Gun laws are far over due, and time has come to place a ban on assault riffles, and semi-automatic weapons. Weapons where the intentions are to spring off massive amounts of ammunition, in order to create one thing mass shootings. We can't have our people in fear of out of control rules and regulations on our gun laws. We have more restrictions for driving on the streets, than we do for weapons and ammunition. We have more protection for hunting Bears, Dears, Rabbits, birds, ducks, and other hunting agendas then we do for our people and children. That's why there needs to be a cap on weapons ammunition -- plus restore the safety cap for unloading and upload magazines into gun shelters. There needs to be a broader range on background checks, to include an all hands approach that ensures public safety. Since the NRA loves to say; "Guns don't kill people, bad people with guns kill people." Well, we need to keep guns away from the bad people, or make it harder for bad intentions to gain access to something in order to inflict harm.
That's why its important to make sure that congress creates respectable legislation that closes the Gun Show loopholes -- enforce mental background checks, place a ban on straw buying and straw buyers, while placing in a monitoring tracking system for each gun manufactured. So that if someone who shouldn't have a gun, gets their hands on one-- the owner or purchasing person of these guns are held responsible, for misplacing or not recording the whereabouts of that gun. There should be a required training course that doesn't involve shooting a gun for gun owners, to show them how to ensure their weapons are in a safe place and not in harms way.
And there should be a ban on intrastate weapons distribution. That prevents straw buyers from taking weapons across state lines, into another state and be redistributed without any tracking system, or anyone being held responsible. Plus, we shouldn't allow our future generations to grow up in fear, with armed guards boarding our educational system. Putting armed guards in every school is not only costly, but remotely dangerous -- plus it's a psychological set back for the cognitive growth of our children. We would be creating more Adam Lanzas of the world with armed guards in our schools, not less. It would be a determent to the learning environment for children to walk around seeing guns daily, plus we aren't a communist country built on dictatorship of military style impressions.
We want to move forward not backwards. Move in a direction, where our environment is clean from the greenhouse effect, and our climate is controlled by our use of energy. We need to broaden the scopes of our energy independence; to allow a safe keeping of our coastal lines. Make sure that our citizens below the sea levels have as much government assistance needed to survive a natural disaster.
We also, need to make sure our Federal Emergency Management Assistance has the proper funding, tools and staffing to ensure coastline residents aren't shafted, discriminated on or left out without the proper assistance needed. Plus, making sure America is taking the lead on Climate Changes, and not waiting for some other country to do something. We have the brightest and best engineering system in terms of educating the public in the world-- its time we take those resources and put them back to work. By making sure the Department of Energy is helping small business growth, and making sure ideas are protect before and after Paten are encountered. Placing more pressure on businesses to keep up with the codes set forth by government agencies.
While, making sure politics; doesn't get in the way of science exploration and job creation. As the rules are managed enough to protect the safety of the public. For projects like the Keystone Pipelines -- shouldn't be a bargaining chip by representatives to further hinder the lives of the public. And making sure that the safest technology is available to prevent fracking or banning it completely. We can't place bans on natural gas exploration because of fear and demonizing the demographics of an industry. We can't prevent other types of energy resources based on outdated information -- like using alternative energy measures to fuel our cars.
Also, we can't stop the investment on Wind-turbines, and Solar Energy, because one company failed. Or some political leader with a political agenda of defunding everything caused many companies that are created in America to fail. We also need to come to the center on the issues of job creation in America. Yes, its true that government doesn't create economic wealth but government does in many factors create jobs. If a business wants to have work force capital, and manufacturing capital -- they're going need government assistance. Whether its from the tax code, through bonds and loans, or grants -- when it comes to exchanging money or financial interest; with incentives; Government has always led the way. As innovation has always been a government proceeding, since ordinary people, and businesses can't print their own money.
As we set the stage for our domestic liabilities, we must take notice that the world is watching. And start to take the lead on helping other nations for upholding peace. By making sure, the crisis in Syria ends, and humanitarian aid helps Syrians. Finally, placing United Nation's boats on the ground-- since one country or nation should handle the responsibilities of peace keeping alone. Also, by making sure we renew our commitment to our alias; and inviting leaders who share our interest to join us in the quest for peace. While, making sure we secure a base that prevents a nuclear arms race -- even if it means placing back an air defense system in Europe.
Moreover, placing pressure on foreign countries like Russia, and China to uphold sovereignty of its people. With Russia, we need to make sure that we share the same common interest when it comes to securing a world without nuclear threats, or to make sure that those with bad intentions don't get any knowledge on how to produce such weaponry. We also need to protect American businesses from foreign invasion of their operations, with a renewed commitment to a cyber security system--that prevents hacking of government websites, and American businesses.
This allows us to stipulate whether China is manipulating their currency; that damages our economic security. With an increasing presence in marine exploration over the Seven Seas, to protect all interest from the Captain Hook's of the world. As we finally end the culture on bickering politics, and lead. We must set the bar on domestic interest; and stage a global example on foreign endeavors if we are going to remain in the top five of the greatest nations on earth. It leadership that springs nations above and in front of others, and throughout our history as a country, leadership has never been divided, or that the districts possessed more power than the President and the other appropriate levels of authority. If America is going to lead the next generation of nations, then we must get our acts together, follow ethics codes and proceedings -- to finally lead. We are a nation that can do great things, when we do them together. We are a great nation, and a great symbol for other nations when we do things together. Together as one republic, one nation that's for the people and by the people.
