An 11 Point Plan to Rescue America

Rick Scott you are now at the top of my most respected list

Beauty. Here's the condensed version, just a sentence off each paragraph. I agree with all of it. Those not like me will disagree with all of it.

It would take a lot of voting and clear conscious consideration to get the power back to impose all of these rectifications to what we once were.

Quote:

1. Our kids will say the pledge of allegiance, salute the Flag, learn that America is a great country, and choose the school that best fits them.

2. Government will never again ask American citizens to disclose their race, ethnicity, or skin color on any government forms. We are going to eliminate racial politics in America.

3. The soft-on-crime days of coddling criminal behavior will end. We will re-fund and respect the police because they, not the criminals, are the good guys.

4. We will secure our border, finish building the wall, and name it after President Donald Trump. Nations have borders. We should give that a try. President Trump’s plan to build a wall was right. We welcome those who want to join us in building the American dream, immigrants who want to be Americans, not change America. We are a stronger nation because we are a nation of immigrants; but immigration without assimilation makes us weaker. Politicians from both parties talk big about border security and do nothing. We are done with that.

5. We will grow America’s economy, starve Washington’s economy, and stop Socialism. Socialism is un-American and always leads to poverty and oppression. We will stop it.

6. We will eliminate all federal programs that can be done locally, and enact term limits for federal bureaucrats and Congress.

7. We will protect the integrity of American Democracy and stop left-wing efforts to rig elections. Today’s Democrat Party is trying to rig elections and pack the courts because they have given up on Democracy. They don’t believe they can win based on their ideas, so they want to game the system and legalize voter fraud to stay in power.

8. We will protect, defend, and promote the American Family at all costs. The nuclear family is crucial to civilization, it is God’s design for humanity, and it must be protected and celebrated. To say otherwise is to deny science.

9. Men are men, women are women, and unborn babies are babies. We believe in science: Men and women are biologically different, “male and female He created them.”

10. Americans will be free to welcome God into all aspects of our lives, and we will stop all government efforts to deny our religious freedom and freedom of speech. The Democrat Party and their Big Tech allies are not merely secular; they have virtually created a new religion of wokeness that is increasingly hostile toward people of faith, particularly Christians and Jews.

11. We are Americans, not globalists. America will be dependent on NO other country. We will conduct no trade that takes away jobs or displaces American workers. Countries who oppose us at the UN will get zero financial help from us. We will be energy independent and build supply chains that never rely on our adversaries. We will only help countries that are willing to defend themselves, like Israel.

No mention of the 12 million + undocumented people living, working, breeding in the US.

No mention of healthcare.

No mention of Medicare.
Good luck finding a candidate from either side that will push this.

And good points on the other three.

Republicans held the majority in both Chambers and Trump was willing to sign anything.

Rick Scott was in the Senate and there is no history he lobbied for everyone paying SOMETHING.
Scott was governor and was elected to the Senate in 2018.

What about having to grant access to female jails for males claiming to be trans females so they can rape other prisoners?

Because all those things are happening without the legal government recognition of 2 distinct sexes and genders
So how are those policies, while they may be strange, harming you? They certainly aren't harming me. As for males going to female jails that is a local or state problem. Let it be solved at that level.

I wish the government would worry about more about inflation and bring in more manufacturing job to this country, especially decent paying ones. Too many people are having to live from paycheck to paycheck.

This I can definitely support. Along with smaller government.

This. But that would require the government to stop regulating everything that moves and taxing it until it dies.

And thus end the K-12 public school systems - which, by the way, are state and locally controlled. The federal government only provides funding for specific initiatives.

We should be providing more education, not less.

I wouldn't say "more" , but we need an improvement of our education system. At the moment it's a fail.

I have major issues when I am told to disregard science and biology.

A man is not a woman because he puts in a dress no more that I become a raccoon if I put on a fur coat.

And I will not be told I am 'blasphemous' because I refuse to indulge in the LGBTQ religion.
