Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Many thanks to all of you who took the time to come out here tonight to listen to and educate yourselves about the Chewbacca Party. As the president of the Chewbacca Party, I would like to inform all of the your guys (residents of the United States of America) about our views and goals for this great country. The six hot issues that will be discussed tonight are: healthcare, immigration, stem cell research, economy, education, and global warming. Man, is it hot in here! (audience laughs) Healthcare has been a plagueing issue for the last decade. However, it doesnt have to be. The solution is simple- tax the higher-income companies! With the excess money, all senior healthcare will be paid for. There is no more worrying about how to cut down on other costs just so someone could make the imperative visit to the docter's office. Dental, medical, and pharmaceutical coverage will be provided to everyone, regardless of race, religion, or gender. For people who could pay off the healthcare bill and is not over the age of 60, only a limited amount of healthcare fees will be charged. The amount depends on their income and their financial situation. This will reduce the amount of deaths due to late visits to the docter as well as the number of complaints from seniors who think that "America is not giving back what they give to her." Immigration is a big issue in the United States. The immigrant population reached a record high of 37.9 million in 2007 but has been slowly decreasing. However, It is not the legal immigrants who are creating a problem but rather the illegal ones.To control the number of illegal immigrants who are making the perilous trip to America, America need to heighton border control. Another method that is far less dangerous is to convince the illegal immigrants that living life as a legal resident is far safer. Many people decide to not become legalized because they are afraid of failing the citizenship test. Therefore, we should make the test more comprehendible. A section would be added for immigrants to state why they want to become a citizen. Based on the information presented would be what determines whether or not they would become a citizen of the United States. People wanting citizenship should not be punished because of their race, gender, or religion. Education. This may not be a issue back in the day of your grandparents, but today it is. Generation by generation, steps have been taken toward a brigher future through education. The Chewbacca party believes that the young is not ready for the work field if he/she is illerate, he/she could only do the jobs of the uneducated. The same is true for adults and single moms: the more your mind encompasses, the more you can do to better your society. Therefore, our party proposes to encourage moms and high school seniors to attend college by raising the college fund by $200 million. Younger schoolers will also be benefited. The fund is going to be divided equally amongst college funding and middle and elementary school funding. There will be installed a system of transportation that ensures every kid to be able to get to school. Free lunches will be provided for any family that has an annual income of less than $60,000. Full day kindergarten will be provided as well as full-day daycare for the kids of the single mom. College funding will allow students to rely less on financial aid and repay back less debt after they're through. If a college student owes more than $200,000 at the end of his/her education, he/she will only be required to pay back up to $100,000. We hope that this will encourage everyone, no matter the age or race, to get a better education. Save the polarbears!! Global warming is going to kill us all!! We hear and see these warnings, but we never take the steps to solve the problems. Our party has resolved a plan to save the world from green house gases. We could solve some global warming with solar panel and wind turbine to generate power. When buying cars, we urge Americans to look for the one with the best fuel economy in its class. Each gallon of gas you use is responsible for 25 pounds of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. Better gas mileage not only reduces global warming, but will also save Americans thousands of dollars at the pump over the life of the vehicle. Compare the fuel economy of the cars you're considering and look for new technologies like hybrid engines. Another easy alternative to polluting the planet is to plant more trees and shrubs. They give back to us the oxygen that we need and take carbon dioxide from the air. Not to mention, they also provide great shade for a sunny summer day. Economy has been a century long struggle for America. My fellow Americans, there are no easy solution to this problem. America will not get out of debt unless actions are taken. The Chewbacca party proposes that we can create jobs. One way is to create the wind turbines, which will stimulate jobs. Also, when we build houses, we can include in the construction solar panel roofs that can generate energy and therefore reduce energy bills. . Lastly, the government should increase tax on tobacco and alcohol, which will not only reduce the amount of drinkers and smokers, but also help our economy. Its a win win deal! Our last platform that I would like to educate my fellow Americans on is stem cell research. Our party is against stem cell research because we believe life starts the second a cell that will turn into a human being develops. Stem cell research not only destroys the embryo, but is also they have already been demonstrated as a successful option for treatment of certain diseases. For example, adult stem cells can be used to replace blood-cell-forming cells killed during chemotherapy in bone marrow transplant patients. Biotech companies such as Revivor and ACT are also researching techniques for cellular reprogramming of adult cells, use of anionic fluid, or stem cell extraction techniques that do not damage the embryo, and therefore, not damaging any embryos or life’s. Use of embryonic stem cells for research involves the destruction of blastocysts formed from laboratory-fertilized human eggs. As of today, adult stem cell research if funded through the government. However, our party will ensure that the only embryos that are used are the ones that are already destroyed. Thank you for you patience and graciousness. It was very kind of all of you to take the time out of your busy day to come and listen to our ideas. Please give our ideas a thought. Thanks again, and God bless!
