This is credited to Bill Cosby, but he says he did not write it:
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012. HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately BANNED! English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart’s policy, 'If ...we ain’t got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here!
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTH BOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you AIN'T getting nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... For life.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the EXACT price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said EVERY day at School and every day in CONGRESS.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes .... Nevertheless.....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I saw this posted on my friends page.
I told him I said that! Write me in.
I originally wrote also these changes below.
(13) All military will be recalled to help rebuild our infrastructure and defenses.
(14) One parent will be allowed the option to stay home and educate their children. The funds the school would of received for busing, food and education will be given to the parent for help in educating the child. As long as all the requirement for (6) are met.
(15) No Budget will pass unless the years expenditures are less then the years income. The people have to live by this rule so the country will live by it.
(16) The United States will immediately withdraw from the United Nations.
All United Nations assets on or in U S property will be turned over to the people of the United States. All U N members will immediately lose all diplomatic privilege and any of them with out standing tickets, warrants etc will be immediately apprehended and tried by a U S jury.
(17) All student, work and diplomatic Visas are revoked. Start swimming.
to be added to (6) You must be a legal U S citizen to receive welfare and education. You will not be allowed any services for free.
Seriously I did write something very similar years ago and reposted it on internet few times.
None of these are my original ideas and I am sure I heard bits and pieces of this over the years of my life.
But isn't this something worth getting behind?
Can anyone get behind these ideas and run for President?
Then write me in. Someone has to clean up the mess it might as well be me.
