Dear Fred Thomson,
I am so disappointed
with those running for President on both the Democratic and Republican sides
that I went to your web site to see what you stand for. http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Fred_Thompson.htm To my surprise your stand on everything, at
least on that web site, is the same as mine. As long as this is the truth, then
you have my vote.
The next president
will be the most important president in
As a Catholic, I
approve of almost everything that Bush has done in almost 7 years including the
war in
After 9-11 Bush did
all the right things (everything he could do) but again he did not do a good
job in selling these things to the public.
The war in
Bush did all he could
to get Ben Laden considering the very unstable, pro-American government of
Pakistan, which could become a Radical Islamic State with Atomic Bombs very
easily - a very hard diplomatic problem.
Why then have we done
so poorly in
Why are must Americans angry with the
President and with Congress? The two
main issues today are the War and Immigration.
With these two issues sold properly you can win hands down.
The speech I would write for Fred Thomson
The War with
American people, I
have decided to run for President of the
American has been at
war with Radical Islam since the end of World War II and
Let us face facts,
65% of the world’s oil supply comes from
Under President
Clinton our military manpower dropped almost in half and then we were attacked
on 9-11. Finally, the American people
and congress realized we were in a war.
We declared that the enemy was those countries that harbored and
financed these Terrorists:
Keep it Simple, Stupid
(KISS), it is Oil
So what am I
saying? Am I in favor of the war in
Democrats say that
Bush went into
I want to end the war In
First, let me tell
you what the President and Congress are not telling you. Then I will show you how to become Oil
Independent in 24 months and end the war, not only with
What no one is telling you is that
That's not
science fiction. Trapped in limestone up to 200 feet thick in the two Rocky Mountain
states is enough so-called shale oil to rival OPEC and
supply the
Exxon Mobil
Corp., Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell are spending $100 million a year
testing methods that can bring this oil out for $30 a barrel.. In the 1970s when we had the oil shortage
these oil companies started mining this oil, but seeing this OPEC dropped the
price of oil making it less profitable and the companies abandoned the
project. This is Oil Shale, the same oil
we import from
The
Shell and
Chevron are working the oil fields of Rifle,
Shell and
Chevron use the below ground heating method, whereas
Shell, based in
So how do we
get oil independent in 24 months? The
next President and Congress must do four things and do them quickly. These four
things will not cost one single tax dollar in the long run, although some
expense in the short run.
1. First, the next President and Congress must pass a law mandating
all gas stations to have at least one Natural Gas pump and one 85%
Ethanol pump. We have no shortage of
Natural Gas and any car can run on it with a simple $150 change to the
car.
No matter how much Ethanol we produce, it will not get to the gas stations as long as they are owned by the Oil Companies unless Congress mandates this right now. Once these pumps are installed, the gas stations will find a way to get the Natural Gas and Ethanol. Right now the largest supply of Ethanol gas stations in any state is only 10% and most states are 1% or less. This may require the government to help finance the independent stations but this money will be paid back and most stations are owned by Big Oil. In the long run there will be no cost to taxpayers.
2. Second, with a Manhattan Project type of program to produce Ethanol, we could up our supply to 30% in one year. That means passing laws letting private enterprise plant Ethanol crops in huge quantities and even helping them with roads, water systems, and land. This may cost the Government Tax Money at first but when these companies pay it back, we end up with $2.00 a gallon gas, and we drop our total imports by 40%. We will end up with a balanced budget without new taxes.
3. Third, I would
mandate that we mine the Oil Shale in
In less than two years, 30% Natural Gas, 30% Ethanol and 30% Oil from Oil Shale. Better than this is that the three types of fuel will compete with each other for the best share of the market and the prices will go down to below $2.00. Our balance of payments will be in the plus side, we will become an exporter of fuel and technology, and our enemy will not have our money to fight against us.
Believe me, all the automobile companies will build Natural Gas, Ethanol and high breads when people know that they can buy this fuel and use it.
4. Forth, start
building Nuclear Power Plants again.
American companies have built hundreds of Nuclear Power Plants all over
the world for the last twenty years for other countries, but not one in
Freedom of Religion
Now let us look at another reason we are in a war no one wants. We founded this country to have Religious Freedom, freedom for anyone to belong to any faith he or she wants to and even the freedom to have no religion. We founded this country on the belief that our Creator gave us unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We founded this country on the belief that Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Anyone who does not believe in freedom of religion and a government of the people, does not belong here.
For 1300 years one religion has tried to force its faith on
the rest of the world by the sword. In
every country they control there is no true religious freedom. Where there is a
secular government like ours, there is religious freedom and we are at peace
with them:
In
Part of the requirements for allowing anyone in this country
as a temporary worker, on a visa, or as a citizen should be a pledge: “I do not believe that any faith should be
forced on anyone and everyone has the right to any faith he wants.”
Illegal Immigration
The federal
government, both the President and the Congress, has the lowest approval rating
in history. There is no connection to
the people at all. The reason is that neither the President nor the Congress
can do anything simple. Just look at a
typical day in the Senate. Half the day
is spent on speeches no one wants to hear and less than 10% of the Senators are
present. The other half of the day is
spent listening to speeches about some bill that no one has had a chance to
read or think about. Someone tells them
what the bill says and they vote on it, not knowing that it contains hundreds
of other things they know nothing about.
Keep it simple,
stupid, KISS. Why can’t they write a
bill, let every Senator read it without speeches, let the American public read
it, and then vote on it. What is the big deal?
The big deal is that they do not want us to read these bills and they
make them so big (100s of pages) that they hope the Senators won’t read or
understand them.
The President and the
Congress spent weeks arguing an Immigration Bill that no one understood and if
they did, they saw that it would not work.
What is the big deal? Keep it simple. We only need do two simple things to fix
immigration.
1. First, for those who come for jobs we simply need a tamper-proof Job ID Card with a Bar-Code. This can be scanned into a data base to see if the person is who he claims to be and if he is a citizen or not. If not, he does not get a job, not a job mowing lawns, cleaning houses, or working the fields.
Breaking this law, for the illegals or the one hiring them, must have a penalty.
2, Second, for people looking for jobs we do not need a border fence because if they cannot get a job without coming here legally they will not come. We do need a fence, however, for those who come here for drugs, terror, or gang membership. A fence is simple and cheep considering the price of crime. An earth-grader plows and clears a 30 foot wide space; an 8 foot fence is placed on both sides of the 30 foot wide space. Cameras are placed every 100 yards in this space with censors to show any movement. The border patrol only has to respond to the movement.
However, those caught must be put in jail and not sent back right away – 6 months minimum.
Supply Side Economics
Most pollsters say
that the main issue today is the war in
No Socialism
Their ideas can best
be called Socialism. Their ideas on Tax, on Welfare, on Medical Care, on SSI on
everything they want to do is nothing but
Socialism. In every country were any
form of Socialism has been tried it has failed.
Why would we want to try something that has already proved to fail?
United Nations or American
Military
My Democratic
opponents want to reduce our military and let the United Nations keep the
peace. All I have to say is look at
It is time we
look to ourselves for our own defense.
For this reason I am going to advocate we bring back the numbers of our
military back to the force at the time of Ronald Reagan before

Side Notes:
Like Ronald
Reagan, the first quality of the leader of the free world is his ability to
convince the public of his programs and the only person I see as able to do
this is Fred Thomson.
The modern
Radical Islam was born in the Muslim Brotherhood in
We can stop
Muslims from attaching us by cutting off their money but we cannot stop Muslims
from killing each other. We only hope
that moderate Muslims outnumber Radical Muslims.
