I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.
HERE IS MY PLATFORM: (1) "Press 1 for English" is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can. (2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' (3) When and if imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it. (4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens. (5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade. (7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life. (8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc. (9) One export will be allowed; Wheat, The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil. (10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause. (11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress. (12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you're gonna get. Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November. God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!

Ya got my vote, you can always have one of your new congressional drinkin buddies tack the BLM thing on the end of a pork laden bill they are passing. Have them add state and federal parklands in with it !When a Native American (real American ) can not walk into the woods and pick Blueberries it's time to clean house ! We need leadership with common sense rather than permanently puckered lips from kissing the a__es of so many tree huggers !

Sands, If you back out I have to be honest, I will have to write in a vote for john Gotti the Teflon Don. He is not any bigger crook than the ones in there now but at least he is capable of getting the show organized ! It's a good bet that we wouldn't be putting up with a bunch of crap from some third world piss-ant potentate either !

#13 all rock hounds and outdoorsy people will get free stays at any and all state and fed lands but have to take at least 50lb of rock home every time or pay a 10.00 fine that they get back next trip haha -- there will be no building on BLM lands or lock outs for citizens of the United States after all the crooks are out of the country we wont need the land for housing, and if we ever did there always up not out -- and no BLM land will be sold to land hoarder's like turner to fence off and keep everyone out

a gun on every belt and then we will see how much crime drops -- if you shoot someone committing a crime of any sort whether they are armed or not Whether they run from breaking in your car or house or hurting your family -- you will not be charged for it -- i think there usta be a law about being aloud to protect you and yours from crime ? (well its back) from now on the criminals will be going to jail and mandatory work farms/road gangs i remember seeing allot of pot holes out there we need them fixed so we don't have to buy giant 4 wheelers to do some rock hunting
let me make that alittle more clear about if you have to shoot a criminal
if hes stealing your stuff outta your car you have to shoot for ass or legs -- if you wear glasses we will take that into consideration so no worries poppy shoot the SOB'S
if hes in your house from the chest down will be considered legal -- same go's if ya wear glass's
if he's hurting or thinking about hurting you or your family a head shot is just fine we don't want to have to feed and house this scum in prison for the rest of his life wile he gets free meds and cable TV
ALSO after a fair trial is lost the lawyer and the criminal will do the same time in the same cell -- that ought to get rid of the lying cheating lawyers too and make room for the few honest ones out there
AND as far as the death penalty is concerned ( IT WILL BE ALIVE AND WELL IN EVERY STATE ) time to stop lettin killers and rapers and child molesters sit on death row for 10 or 15 years -- death row will last no longer then 1 month chance enough for one last appeal

garock ya missed part of that
We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. (NO imports, no exports). We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
if its not made in the usa it wont be sold in the usa period -- maybe some of the crooks will bring back there biz to the united states if they cant get it into the country and still make a profit after all we buy more useless shit here then anywear else in the world so eather they play or go away -- bet they dont mind payin the tax's and fair wages when they come back this time

i agree sands...if i catch another breaking into my car again....or anything....im gonna shoot them with buckshot....no bird shot here.....in the hip or legs....the buckshot will probably rip them apart anyway.....but ...hey they chose to break into my stuff.
as far as the walmart thing goes....i agree 100 percent....donna works for walmart....but we dont buy a thing from there that isnt american made.....and thats hard to do.
i pretty much gave up when i found out i couldnt buy a pair of levis that were made here anymore.
maybe thats why she brought me home some wrangler jeans.....and i aint sure about where she got them from....walmart or some where else.
as a lot of you know....i hate people that use the asian slave labor to create cabs ....jewelry...or anything to do with this hobby.....or any part of anything.
we aint gonna get away from it at all.....and for the walmart haters....or others....its a way of life i suppose.....the other stores beat walmart to it.
here is how the dude walton out smarted the kmarts.....sears...and pennys.....i dont agree at all.....but he had it going on ;D
Sam Walton was playing catch-up. Sears, Kmart, Target, and JCPenney all had established procurement networks in Asia long before Wal-Mart arrived. Wal-Mart's decision to arrive unfashionably late was deliberate, according to the retired executive. "In going to Asia and then into China," he said, "department stores always beat us. A lot of people were there long before we were. But it was part of the strategy to let them go through the initial tortures. [Wal-Mart would] step in when all the groundwork had been laid."
but sands you right.....and i agree....lets shootem....give me me back my USA MADE LEVIS.....kev.

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00. My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family? Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved. Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads Put away money for college – it’ll be there Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs. Buy a new car – create jobs Invest in the market – capital drives growth Pay for your parent’s medical insurance care Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult US Citizen 18+!
As for AIG – liquidate it. Sell off its parts Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.
Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.”
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .
And remember, The Sands plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it’s either good for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!
P.P.S. Even if the number is 250 million adults, the share is $340,000 gross each!!! ($238,000 net after that estimated 30% federal tax rate) Your state and local governments will want 'their share' too, but think of all the pre-financed public works projects that could get done. More jobs! Repave streets and upgrade utilities--that needs labor, and equipment and materials. This is way better than 'trickle-down' economics--it would be tidal wave' economics! Make sure the $25 billion that goes right back to Uncle Sam gets used for debt reduction.

You politicians are all the same, Sands, with your fuzzy math. ;D You're promisin' me $425,000 but all that's gonna trickle down is $425. Pissed on again! (85 billion/200 million = 425) And as for “if its not made in the usa it wont be sold in the usa period”I want my Lagunas I want my tiger eye, mook, marra mamba I want more Lagunas I want my Bots, Brazilians, Patagonians, Agua Nuevas, crazy laces, RSJs I want more bigger better Lagunas ;D ;D ;D
