Campaign+Speech+P.7

Our country has come to a crossroad, and now you have the power to change the political landscape of America. As I have said time and time again, if you elect me to be your face in congress, there are several things I will do to ensure that your needs are met day in and day out across this land. First of all, I plan on proposing new legislation that will invest more tax dollars in our public universities, not only to meet the needs of today, but to encourage developing minds for the future. Such new funding would be used to hire and retain good teachers and give great tax breaks to classroom teachers. To accomplish this, I am proposing no new taxes increases, but rather a rechanneling of our existing tax revenue to meet these demands. Now, the current Administration and his staff have been talking about this with little progress. I plan to change all of this now. Second, economic development is on the minds of most of you, particularly with regard to our stock market. In current years, economic prosperity has been neglected by current government leaders, and I plan to change all of that. Current leaders have allowed the stock market to control every day life without holding the investors responsible. Third, we will do away with the current Health Care plan to make it optional to carry health insurance. The current Administration feels that every American should carry their own private health insurance, making every day harder on the middle and working class families. I plan to do away with this all together. Fourth, I believe we do not need to bring our troops home yet. Currently our troops are helping rebuild nations so that in the future we do not have to send in troops yet again to rebuild an unwilling community. And to do this our military needs to be built up and receive more funding via federal grants. Our current Administration is trying to pull our troops out now, and it may look like a good plan, however the economic structure of our fellow nations is not secure to support and protect them selves just yet. Also, along with granting the military more money I feel that our young men and women, fighting for our freedom should be able to enjoy a beer, or order a glass of wine at dinner. So I feel that we should lower our legal drinking age to 18, without States loosing much needed funding and grants. Lastly, the ducks, as a child I went to the lake and feed the ducks. I see no harm in allowing tax paying citizens to feed them. Allowing people to feed the ducks also would create jobs and boost our economy. I will propose a bill allowing citizens to feed the ducks, creating new jobs, and making a mandatory judging of the lakes and dams. Our current Administration says that we cannot feed the ducks because they make a mess, however its nature, they will make a mess. And finally, my opponent has cited my inexperience as a reason for why you shouldn't vote for me. However, I am not a career politician who has lost touch with the everyday needs and concerns of day-to-day people. My work has given me a unique perspective on the pains and challenges you face. If elected, I promise to give my all to my elected position and make your issues and concerns are fully addressed at the local and national level. Thank you.
