Revive "In God we Trust" as our National Spirit:
If WE TRUST GOD, WE GOTTA TALK TO HIM
A. Every Wednesday is a National Day of PRAYER
B. All meetings begin with PRAYER
C. All Publicly funded schools begin the day with PRAYER
D. The 10 Commandments will be displayed in all Federal Buildings
National Day of Apologies and Forgiveness: What's great about America is our
ability to have individual beliefs. What grieves God is our attacking one another for
them. We need to set an example with our leaders in government and have a Day
where Republicans apologize and forgive Democrats, and vice versa. Not for what we
believe, but for how we have attacked each other on a personal basis. Everyone of us
knows that we have wronged the other party and it's time to come clean. When that
happens, you'll see God move in miraculous ways to heal the divide and bring us back
together as a country. We can still have our difference of opinions, but we must stop
letting the enemy divide us as a country.
New Cabinet Position: Secretary of Good News: This position would hold daily
press conferences highlighting awesome stories of American daily victories at home
and abroad.
New Cabinet Position: Secretary of Young Americans: This position would focus
exclusively on issues involving our young people. The programs would focus around the
concept of H.A.P.P.Y (Honest American People Preparing Youth)
Honor our Military: Any Soldier disabled while serving our country should receive full
pay benefits for the remainder of his/her life. In the event a soldier pays the ultimate
price, his/her spouse should receive an immediate full pay pension and his/her children
should receive full tuition for their college education at the public University of their
choosing.
Roving Capital: If the Olympics can select a new location every 4 years, how about the
capital? We could have host cities for each new term. Can you imagine the economic
boom to the cities that got the capital that term? We could move from East Coast to
West Coast to New Orleans to Missoula..... That would mean all the Lobbyists, Lawyers
etc., would have to move to that part of the country.... And, the issues concerning those
areas would be addressed more directly...border control, hurricane preparedness etc....
If nothing else, move some of the major events like the inauguration to other cities. This
Federal government serves more that D.C., so let's move the factory out into other parts
of America.
Speeding Tickets don't go on Driving Record: Hey, what's the deal with getting a
speeding ticket, you pay it, and your insurance goes UP? I think we need to make it law
that speeding tickets are like parking tickets, you get em, pay em and nobody knows,
especially the insurance company.
American Cabinet (Reality Show): How about creating a reality show about the office
of the President? It could be a weekly show that follows the President and focuses on
several cabinet positions and the job they are doing. We could hook into the web for
immediate feedback and suggestions from people. They could voice their opinions
directly to the Key Government Officials.
The show would sell, big time, prime time, and all the proceeds would be used to run the
office of the President. Cover the costs for Air Force 1 etc... If the NFL can generate
billions, imagine what this would do.
Trucker Hospitality: We need to show the men and women delivering all our products
that we appreciate them. I will encourage owners of companies that use over-the-road
truckers to have a little something for the drivers.. A sandwich, cookie,
drink....Something to show your appreciation when they pick up, or drop off your
shipments. Kindness goes a long way.
WhiteHouse Secretary of Comedy: Look, everyone is always making jokes about
what goes on at the WhiteHouse, why don't we take the lead and appoint a team of
comedians to stay on top of the joke flow and at times, attack those late night guys with
a strike-first joke strategy. We need to put Fun back in our lives and learn how to laugh
and we know how much material the Government can produce for laughter. Humor is
great medicine for everyone.
People Conferences: Similar to press conferences, have the President talk directly to
a group of ordinary people. Say, at a homeless shelter. Just go in-front of them and
answer their questions. Allow the press to cover it, but not participate with questions.
Similar to the weekly radio address, this would be the weekly - Plain Folk - Q&A time
with the President.
Congress Pay Raises: How is it that Congress gets to raise their own pay? How
about we mandate that Congress can only raise their compensation package, pay or
benefits, once every four years..... On the Presidential Ballot. They would have to tell us
all that they get, how much more they want and WHY?..... Then WE decide...That makes
too much sense. Thanks Robert from Warren, MO for this one.
Yes/NO Presidential Debates: When we get to debates this time, this is what we do.
We develop a list of questions from real people - no prior approvals - . The questions
are Yes/No questions. All candidates must answer yes/no or pass. When all
candidates have answered, those that answered yes or no, will have an opportunity to
elaborate. Those that pass remain silent. It's time to get the candidates to make a
clear stand on the important issues to Americans, even if we have to force them.
Hey, I need more ideas because I'm just the Cheap Gas guy....what do you all
think and I'll add them as they come in.
