The day after the presidential election, you are placed in charge of establishing the priorities for President Bush, including executive orders, legislative initiatives, judicial appointments and decisions over all Cabinet Secretaries and federal agencies.
Bush's coattails brought in a veto-proof Congress and you are in charge of deciding Bush's legislative initiatives, as well.
Post your directives to Bush here.
Usama Bin Laden
Flat tax
Secure the borders
Continue war on terror
Establish positive control of the borders and remove ALL illegal aliens from the country. Employ the National Guard if necessary to strictly control the borders.
Executive Order No. 2005-1:
To: Dan Rather, CBS News
NEENER NEENER NEENER!!
I agree. This should have been priority number one for three years now. We gotta get him.
1) Permanent Tax cut
2) Roll Back of drug benefits
3) Shut down the border, NOW!!!
4) Immediate 5% reduction in all federal spending
5) Savings accounts for SS
6) Bomb Iran back to 1932
All of the other stuff is secondary to me....
Although I like the idea of securing the borders, removing all the illegal aliens is a nice idea, but extremely far fetched and unrealistic....
2. Don't let gays get married
3. PATRIOT ACT III, IV and V
Just kidding! Seriously - War on Terror, Economy(jobs) and Economy (defecit, Soc. Sec, etc...)
Love it.
1. Clarify Iraq strategy--what will victory look like? How will we know when we've won? How much longer will it take? What then?
1a. Get Osama.
2. Cut spending
3. Cut immigration
4. Legalize marijuana.
You forgot the Starship Enterprise :)
Ditto on borders
Continue WOT, but get over PCism
Appoint young judges
Reform the tax code
Tort reform
Lean more to a constitutionalist view
Defund and dismantle public education
4. Legalize marijuana.
What the !@#$% over??!!!
1. US Senate Nuclear Option, to get conservative judges out of limbo an into their benches.
2. Military strikes against Sudanese capital; tell Syria, "You're next!" (Withstand urge to call France.)
3. Dispatch national guard to Mexican borders. (Withstand urge to send them to Vicente Fox's palace.)
4. "Hey Rather, I got some documents for you right here!"
I'm going to wait to post my directives the week AFTER the election.
No use giving up our ammo to the other side.
Let's make sure our W is re-elected first, Liz. Then we can go into action.
Start dismantling the federal government. Get them out of: housing, highways, education, wage rates (minimum wage, Davis-Bacon), affirmative action, etc. Review all previous "Executive Orders" and get rid of most of them.
1: Continue the WOT
2: End the War On Poverty, Great Society, New Deal
3: Flat tax or sales tax
4: Colonize and industrialize the rest of the universe. Plant Old Glory on Mars. Build nuclear pulse vessels, say "neener, neener" to Greenpeace.
5: Restore 2nd Amendment
6: Fund full and rapid development of thermal depolymerization plants
7: Develop SPS
8: Tell oil countries to get bent.
-Make tax cuts permanent
-Get judges approved... ready for SCOTUS positions.
-Get a national sales tax and eliminate Federal Income Tax.
-Make investing an option with Social Security.
-Push for Energy bill to drill in ANWR.
-Push for Amendment for only man/woman marriage.
Not following you there. Huh? Anyway, ok, maybe it's not a top 5 priority. But after the war and spending and immigration, I'll take a little something for me. Sue me.
2. Close the Borders
3. Flat tax
4. Replace Social Security
5. End visa programs that allow offshoring
6. School vouchers
7. Finish World War IV (War on Terror)
Next... convene a panel of legal experts to comb through Federal Legislation. Any "laws" currently on the books that overstep their Constitutional boundaries are to be sent to the USSC for them to rule on as Unconstitutional and have them stripped from the books.
Push for the repeal of the popular election of Senators and let the States handle that on a State by State basis.
Flush the IRS. Institute either an NRST or a Flat Tax.
Enact legislation making it a Treason offense to pass legislation, or rule from the bench, in a way that is clearly contrary to the plain language used in the Constitution.
And then I'd really get down to business... I don't ask for much do I?

Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Bump for later browse!
1. Get Osama.
2. Don't spend as much as you did in your first term.
3. Simplify the tax system.
4. Improve border security/limit immigration.
Two things: 1. continue to make us safe as a great president
2. Make congress cut spending!! Start vetoing stuff if you have to. Let's bring fiscal responsiblity back to our great, great party. The importance of this can't be overstated.
Next declare militant Islam an enemy, and through trashing political correctness arrest all those who spread it in America.
Isolate (through breaking diplomatic relations, ending trade, condemnation) regimes which allow it to prosper and who support it, namely - Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt. Iran is also such a country, but it is already isolated.
Institute a real plan to defend the Canadian, Mexian and coastal boundries which put as a priority security over being comfortable.
Have racial profiling.
Make it manditory that all public schools must hire at least 2 guards, and be fenced.
For major train and bus stations, and other major public places such as stadiums, have x-ray machines and armed guards. This should be there ALL the time.
Institute a program to make the public aware of how terrorists operate, how to spot them or suspicious things and the need to report it to the police. Make the public aware on how to REACT when a terror attack occurs.
Start a program where persons trained with counter-terror go to public schools, more frequently for the lower grades, at least twice a year, to teach kids specifically on what to do during a terror attack, and the older ones how to spot suspicious activity(for example, a person wearing a heavy coat on a hot summer day in the middle of the Washington Mall). Just like you teach kids not to talk to strangers, etc. this is how it has to be done.
This info should be played on TV, radio and flyers should be sent.
Bumper stickers should be placed in busses, trains, etc. telling people to report to the operator suspicous packages, etc.
Bus and Train operators should be required to search their vehicle at the start and end of every trip.
At major public places, there should be the construction of "safety holes" whereas, with police supervision or if there is a timer on a bomb, etc. these devices or suspected devices can be placed in that covered hole and if they detonate minimize surrounding damage (Israel has this).
Universities must increase their security.
The US must make it a habit of not learning just from personal lapses but from other country's lapses or experiences with terror.
Question all those who board international flights about where they are going, etc. Use that type of question and answer program counter-terror personal on El-Al flights use where they repeat questions after a while to see if the person is making the story up, etc.
This thread is intended to rev up the base.
2. Close the borders.
3. Close the borders.
Domestic:
1) NRST
2) Tort Reform
3) Right to work legislation
Foriegn:
1) Exit the UN
2) Continue WOT
1. Destroy our enemies
2. Stop persecuting the sick and dyng for using medical pot. That just ain't right.
3. Withdraw our ambassador from France
1) Level Fallujah
2) Level Ramadi
3) Round up all illegal immigrants (focus on Muslims)
4) Bug all mosques in the USA
5) Require 120 day wait on all Muslims applying for visas
6) Send hit teams to kill bankers and businessmen who assist Al Qaeda worldwide
It's way past time to get mean in the War on Terror. Until they get their house in order, Muslims are not welcome here in the USA.
Close the freaking borders and inspect all incoming freight.
Cut all domestic programs, dismantle the Dept of Education and return that money to the states. Stop all immigration from Islamic countries. Build a big-a$$ fence along the borders both north and south.
-Establish national sales tax and do away with the IRS
-Secure our borders (send all illegal aliens back to where they came from & charge their country for the trip)
-Continue to build our military
-Give individual states back the control of public education (NO MORE No Child Left Behind or federal funding of ed. programs)
-End funding for the National Endowment of the Arts
-Privatize social security
1) Close borders until immigration mess can be addressed. (Read: start enforcing immigration laws.)
2) Introduce Fair Tax.
3) Repeal Medipill program.
4) Eliminate or cut other larded federal programs you have increased.
5) Seek repeal of No Child Left Behind and other arrogant and unconstitutional federal programs imposed on the states.
Take a deep breath and get ready for Round 2.
pass the Fair tax
Secure the borders
Continue war on terror
right you are, sir
Sounds good to me.
The stone age is over, the bronze age is over, it's now time for the OIL AGE TO BE OVER.
Nuclear power plants built under mountains, Cheyenne Mountain style. (absolutely NO environmental red tape tolerated)
Electrical generation from above for Production of hydrogen fuel. Build it up to a higher order fuel if necessary. (WWII German "petrol" program). All automobiles use this rather than gasoline.
Poof - no more imported muslim terrorist oil. All the OPEC oil currently goes to gasoline, plus some. End gasoline, end OPEC. Tell them what they can do with their oil. (drink it, I suppose)
Audit of ALL spending. Cut out all waste. (Cow flatulence studies and the NEA come to mind.)
Close the borders. Prosecute those hiring illegals. Start deportations.
National sales tax.
Cut out foreign aid to any country who obstructed us over Iraq. Cut out almost all foreign aid, with the exception of a reasonable amount of humanitarian aid.
1. WOT
2. Perm. Tax cuts,..though I'd rather see a flat tax.
3. Borders, Borders, Borders!!!
4. Allow some private investing for social security.
5. Pro-Life Push.
6. NO new gun laws, ENFORCE existing laws!
7. Reduction in spending.
8. BOMB FRANCE back to 1945!
Cheers!
continue the war on terror
flat tax or NRST
National "right to work"
National CCW
Reform OSHA, streamlining regs, and reducing micromanagement.
Streamline EPA, and remove unnecessary regulations. Raise the burden of proof needed before regs are created, and require vote of representatives for any increases in strictness. Put coal back into the energy equation. Allow drilling in ANWR.
Defang all regulatory agencies.
Stop federal "blackmail" of states, such as threatening to withhold fed funds when states don't enact restrictive traffic laws (seat belts, and 0.08 DUI laws come to mind).
Tighten border security, and eliminate all federal benefits for illegals.
Judges, Judges, Judges!
Then a few more judges!
(Then I'd get Karl Rove to give Dan another forged memo.)
Tell me, what do you think is going to happen if we capture or kill Bin Laden?
What makes you think it isn't a priority?
As they have said before, capturing or killing Bin Laden is not going to stop terrorism.
So, chasing around a sick man is not the only thing we should be doing.
Don't get me wrong, I want him dead as bad as everyone else, but I am sick and tired of all the Bin Laden talk as if all of our problems would be over with if we got him.
I don't want all of our resources directed towards this one man.
It is a waste. They need to be doing exactly what they are doing, which is looking for Bin Laden AND dealing with other threats.
A manhunt doesn't require an entire military. There are plenty of people looking for him.
How bold of you to suggest that we have no interest in Bin Laden just because they don't give us a daily report.
1. flatten falluja
take breath
2. flatten iran
