Don Barness for PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES in 2008!

 Don Barness

His Campaign Pledge:

1) I will withdraw our troops from Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, and other places around the world;

2) Once our troops are safely home and rested for a couple weeks, I will deploy them along the Mexican Border to seal off all illegal immigration.

3) Once the southern border is secure, I will use the military to go house to house, block by block town by town and round up EVERY SINGLE ILLEGAL ALIEN and forcibly deport them from this country.

4) With our troops back home, I will re-open many of the closed military bases around this nation, thus keeping the economic benefit of those bases here in America.

5) I will withdraw from (or have repealed), NAFTA, GATT and the WTO. The idea of "free and fair trade" is terrific but it has failed miserably since US workers cannot complete with foreigners earning ten cents per hour and living 20 to a house.

6) I will re-establish Tariffs on imports to protect American jobs and induce companies to return manufacturing jobs to this nation.

7) I will demand Congress cut off ALL foreign aid. We need that money in this country to take care of our OUR people and our infrastructure.

8) I will change US immigration policy to encourage folks from similar first world cultures to come here instead of encouraging third worlders to come here.

9) I will personally visit and sign a Peace Treaty with North Korea, officially ending the Korean War which, as of now, is only halted by an Armistice (cease fire). The Treaty will assure North Korea that we will not attack or invade them in return for them promising not to attack or destabilize South Korea which the US considers to be of a national security interest.

10) I will personally visit and re-establish Diplomatic relations, trade and commerce with ALL countries that we presently lack such relations with. ALL of them. To date, we have gotten nowhere by cutting off diplomatic and trade relations with countries. That policy has failed and it will be changed. This is in the spirit of George Washington, who said "trade with all, alliances with none."

11) I will withdraw the US from NATO. NATO was created to protect Western Europe from the then Soviet Union. The USSR is gone and Russia is a friend; there is no longer a need for NATO.

12) I will withdraw from Treaties of mutual defense. The world is older and more mature now. Foreign Countries can defend themselves without American blood. If they cannot, it is their problem not ours.

13) I will halt Section 8 housing subsidies. These subsidies allow people to live at taxpayer expense in communities they cannot afford to live in. They will have to move to where they can afford to live.

14) The war on drugs has failed in every regard. Anyone who wants illegal drugs knows where to buy them in EVERY town in this country. We will have to decide on a new policy: Either, we legalize drrugs to take the crime out of it or we wage hot war on drug dealers, using the military to bomb their factories attack and kill them. One way or the other, the policy must change because what we're doing now isn't working.

15) I will nationalize the Federal Reserve Banking system into the US Treasury. Right now, the federal reserve is a private bank which charges us fees and interest to circulate our own money! This system is costing us Billions a year to do what the US treasury is supposed to be doing. That will stop.

16) I will enact a Constitutional Amendment defining "life" as being from the point of conception until natural death and making abortion lawful only in cases of rape, incest, severe fetal abnormality or a direct physical threat to the life of the mother. That will be the compromise on abortion and will end the issue.

17) I will enact a Constitutional Amendment clarifying that protections afforded under the Constitution apply only to natural born citizens or others who are here lawfully. Persons here unlawfully or born to a parent here unlawfully will have no protection of law. None.

18) AIDS is spread by behavior. Once a person is infected, they fall onto the public healthcare roles to get help. I will give the entire country one year to determine their HIV status. People who are identified as "positive" during that time will be eligible for help. After that year, anyone who becomes infected will be denied all public assistance (except newborn babies or those infected by blood transfusions). Society should not encourage or subsidize bad behavior with free healthcare.

It will take every bit of four years to do these things. I will be called a racist, bigot, hatemonger, anti-semite, homophobe, xenophobe, cold-hearted, a Hitler and every other epithet you can imagine. I will be pilloried in the media, reviled in the press, but I don't care. These will be my policies. I will do everything I pledge. I will take office, do these things, then go home. What do you think of my proposals? Got any suggestions? Post them in my COMMENTS area below.
