Top Issues for a President to me
Being elected President of the USA is serious, not a popularity contest like in High School. This seal reminds me of the honor required for this government office, in particular.
- Taxation – [[Fair Tax]]
- War on Terrorism – how do you negotiate with people that want you dead? You don’t.
- [[Term Limits|TermLimits]]
- Energy Policy – [[Thoughts On Energy]] Ethanol is a waste; Coal, Solar, Wind with government incentives; why isn’t drilling happening in ANWR, Alaska? Popular Mechanics Article
- [[Campaign Contributions]] – if you can’t vote in an election, then you shouldn’t be allowed to give money
- Health Care – More competition; posted costs for all work; less government interference; shopping across state lines and small biz/individuals placed into the same insurance "Group" so they don’t get screwed by insurance rates.
- Immigration – Fair is fair; no reward for breaking laws

*[[Shortage of HiTech Workers in USA?]]
**[[Saxby Update on Immigration August 2007]] - [[Education]] – School Choice
- Abortion – ProLife/ProChoice
- Tort Reform – loser pays to prevent lawsuit abuse
TermLimits
Term Limits are needed. The rules are simple:
- To run for office, you must be legally able to vote in that election and the prior election for that office.
- You can only hold 1 office at a time.
- You can only be elected to the same office twice – no more.
- You may run for other office during your current office, but only one office at a time.
- These rules should apply to local, state and national elections
The main goal is to prevent lifetime Senators and House Members. If you know you are only there for 12 years and have to leave, you’ll probably try to get something done and not forget who elected you.
