REQUESTS FOR SOME SIMPLE CHANGES TO START THE BALL ROLLING

Changes were promised and we responded. Now we hopefully wait and submit our requests:

1 - Immediate action for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. This invasion was not sanctioned by the UN and was in violation of International Law.

2 - Speedy settlement of the Afganistan Invasion

3 - Establish diplomatic relationships with all foreign nations whether we like them or not.

4 - Convert all Military Bases in foreign countries to UN Bases reducing US forces and US fiscal support by at least 50%

5 - Cease all military aid to foreign countries and channel all economic aid through Embassy offices. (All military aid to UN Bases)

6 - Pass Hillary"s Health Care Program

7 - Pass Part I of the New Tax Law rolling back Bush Administration tax breaks to those making over $250,000 and tax relief to those making $250,000 or less.

8 - Give control of the Government back to the People:
(Elected public officials in the Legislative Branch of the government have tended to pursue personal welfare rather than the welfare of the people they represent. To curb this action, the following changes are suggested.

a) Limit all (legislative) officials to a maximum two terms

b) Remuneration and Perks to be decided by a vote of the people rather than by the legislators themselves

c) Abolish all retirement benefits for both legislative and administrative officials.

d) Institute recall provision for both legislative and administrative officials

9 - Give control of the profits of the "Artificial Persons created by Law" back to the owners (Stockholders). To achieve this, the following changes are suggested:

a) Take away CEO's authority to:
1) Determine his or her own salary
2) Spend corporation funds for non business operation costs and expenses
3) Give funds to Political and Non-Profit Entities

b) After setting aside prudent reserves for contingencies, profits should begiven to shareholders as dividends. Decisions for expansion and gifts belong to the owners of the business. Expansion can be financed by issuance of additional stock when requested by the Board of Directors and approved by a majority vote of the stockholders.

10 -Enact laws and regulations to curb businesses from outsourcing jobs overseas and avoiding taxes.

11- Enact laws and regulations to curb pollution and global warming, and make the country more energy independent.

AGREE, DISAGREE, ADD OR SUBTRACT.

It sounds like you have really thought this out. Will President Elect Obama listen to you? Will the "changes" he promised and you are suggesting really make Obama "a gift from God" like Nancy Pelosi has suggested? One thought for you, sometimes "the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence" Only time will tell if this "change" will really better America. And that includes your "plans" if Obama chooses to follow them.
