Platform to Restore the American Dream

[Impartial_Truth]

If anyone can please give me their thoughts on the following platform if it would be accurate to what Ron Paul would do as President. Also, if there are any other suggestions please let me know as I am a novice. I think it is important to work together so we all have a clear understanding of what we are aiming for in a platform for fixing America. Thank you!

Platform to Restore the American Dream

Economy
5. Significantly cut regulation, 2:1 amendment

An amendment to require all regulations to be authorized by legislation is also required.

Freedom
1. End Special Interests/Lobbying

That would be unconstitutional.

2. Campaign Finance Reform

What do you mean? Most of what people mean by that is unconstitutional

3. Term Limits for congress, justice department. How many years?

BAD idea, we have a hard enough time finding good Reps like Dr. Paul, we need to be able to keep them as long as we can

Your list shows you are not a novice in the understanding of liberty. The platform is and always has been a liberty platform. Liberty being defined as the absence of injustice.

What you really need help with is not in the making of lists of ideas, but rather in the strategy of facilitating and implementing group action made up of people who believe in those ideas. Sadly, those people really have no country, and no land. They are scattered few, salt and peppered here and there.

This means your group action strategy skill requirement is not merely "highly difficult" but probably in the miracle worker range. Which in turn means the caliber of hope and faith you need from initial adopters is already in the "hardcore liberty fanatic" range.

Luckily you have about 15 or 20 maybe of those here.
