military

A strong believer in the escalation of climate change, hence more severe disaster occuring upon the globe. I suggest an increase in Civilian Affairs troops. Positions around the globe with adequate supplies in order to be dropped into any hotspot within 12 hours to assist the people of the planet when disaster strikes.

On Day One, we need to act like we are members of the world, not rulers of the world. We need to sit down with other countries, even those we don't happen to like, we need to use economic pressure, and yes, as a last resort, we need to use military pressure, in a concerned fashion that works with our NATO partners and with the UN. That is the way we can repair all the damage that's been done during the Bush administration.

On Day One: Initiate the U.S. Dept of Peace by Splitting the Budget and Personnel of U.S. Dept of War. It won't cost a thing. There is so much loot in the Offices of the Military and the Pentagon, if half of that were appropriated to Humanitarian Efforts and Global Peace, we would lose nothing but half the enormous contracts of grossly expensive military vehicles, tanks and weapons. We would have our soldiers lives and limbs to gain, and most welcome, friends of nations around the world.

End the Iraq War & bring all troops home from all bases abroad. Sell foreign bases & pay down national debt. End the Federal Reserve. Give tax incentives to individuals & businesses for renewable energy such as wind, solar, micro-hydro, geothermal, etc., set high efficiency standards for all new government buildings & vehicles, retrofit old government buildings with green technologies, shut down Departments of Education, DEA, BATF, IRS, DHS, & TSA, and abide by the Constitution!!

“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations- entangling alliances with none.” - Thomas Jefferson ******** "It’s hypocritical to dismiss certain founding principles simply because a convenient rationale is needed to justify interventionist policies today. The principles enshrined in the Constitution do not change. If anything, today’s more complex world cries out for the moral clarity provided by a noninterventionist foreign policy." --Ron Paul

We need a strong defensive military, but we make the world less stable and safe by continuing to stockpile nuclear weapons. Our best bet for lasting peace is to secure strong, long-term nuclear non-proliferation agreements among all nations and spread good will around the world by helping people less well off than ourselves in dramatic and concrete ways.

1. Govt Subsidies for solar & wind power. Cancel tax cuts to the rich & reduce the military budget for the money to do it. This will create new industries and jobs and add jobs to the existing companies in these fields.2. Require all cars to achieve 40mpg by 20183. Require fluorescent light bulbs in all public bldgs & encourage citizens to switch.
