BG’s Presidential Campaign Ad

My name is BG and I approve this message…………………..

I am running for President because…………………well, why not? All we are getting from the current Presidential candidates are a bunch of promises anyway; so I might as well throw my promises in the hat as well, and see what happens. All I can offer you is a “red pill” (from the movie "The Matrix") and an articulate presentation of my platform. After that, it is for you to decide. Don’t tell me that I am not popular enough to be elected, because if you like my message, then you and everyone else who hears and likes my message should vote for me, regardless of what everyone else does.

BG’s Platform

• I promise to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America to the best of my ability.
• I promise that the Federal Government will work to defend your life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.
• I promise that the Federal Government will encourage the States to ignore all Federal Legislation that is not in line with the Bill of Rights. I would also encourage the States to begin reaffirming and reeducating its citizens on true Constitutional governance.
• I promise to always inform the American people of those elements, foreign or domestic, who cause, block or stonewall anything that will promote your freedom and general welfare.
• I promise never to send troops to war unless Congress officially declares war. We will never again send our troops to serve in any military capacity under NATO, UN or any other organization.
• I promise that our northern and southern borders will be fully secured before my four-year term is complete. I will hold press conferences to inform the nation which Representatives are not in compliance with true homeland security.
• I promise to allow all individuals the right to keep and bear arms without a license. I don’t think that it is fair for only the Government and criminals to have weaponry.
• I promise that individuals will be able to work free of Federal income taxes. The Federal Government will get its necessary funding from tariffs, imposts, duties, tolls, taxes from gains on corporate activity and constitutionally apportioned taxes.
• I promise that the Federal Government will never tell you how to educate, how to discipline, or how to raise your children.
• I promise that the Federal Government will never tell you what you and your family can or cannot eat, or how you manage your family’s health regimen.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not take your tax dollars and give it to foreign nations, while your families and communities need it more.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not tell you how to save, invest or spend your money; nor will we penalize you for the decisions that you make.
• I promise that the Federal Government will allow you to exercise your God-given right to speak, protest, travel and practice your religious beliefs freely.
• I promise that the Federal Government will never surveillance you and your family with any video/audio devices; nor will we keep a database of information on what types of books you are reading, the medicines you use, the purchases you have made, or any other personal information profiles.
• I will not promote a National ID card or rights for illegal aliens.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not allow rogue judges to legislate from the bench.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not allow any removal of habeas corpus, due process, trial-by-jury or the right to a speedy trial.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not take your money to fund: science, technology, the arts, research, health, ecology, transportation, education, natural disaster relief, or anything else. If the people want to fund these entities through the private sector, or local and state Government that is Constitutional.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not take your property through eminent domain.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not enter into any Unconstitutional trade deals, mergers, agreements, laws, partnerships, treaties or anything else without an open dialogue with the American people and the Congress.
• I promise that I will never make any dictatorial executive orders.
• I promise that I will repeal every current executive order.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not insult your intelligence by redefining what sensible people already know, such as: marriage is one man and one woman; and we were all a fetus once upon a time.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not put the interests of trans-national corporations and lobbyists above the American people’s general welfare.
• I promise that the Federal Government will not give subsidies to individuals, corporations, the airline industry, the housing industry, the automobile industry, the banking industry, farmers, the oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, schools, etc.
• I promise that the Federal Government will cut salaries across the board, starting with mine. I will demand that the Legislative and the Judicial branches do the same, as well as repeal some of their perks and benefits packages. If they do not, I will hold a national press conference and expose everyone who is in favor of this continued wasteful spending.
• I recommend that Congressional sessions be reduced to 6 months or less, since most of the Federal programs will be handled by the Cities, Counties and States. Legislative budget cuts will be made immediately and the excess money will be sent to the district in the form of taxpayer refunds or bonds for local projects.
• Both houses of Congress will be fined for: each session day missed on Capitol Hill; and every time a vote is not cast.
• Congress will never vote on another piece of legislation until every member has read the bill in its entirety. Therefore, there will be no more 100+ page documents sent to the White House for my signature. Every time I find “fat” in the bills, I will have a national press conference and inform the nation who is supporting more outrageous spending. I will help your Representatives be more accountable to you.
• I promise that the Federal Government will immediately start to liquidate holdings of lands and buildings to private citizens.
• I promise that the Federal Government will immediately start to deregulate industries and to encourage private sector competition and entrepreneurialism.
• I promise that I will surround myself with honorable people, not career politicians, Washington insiders, or bureaucrats. I am not knowledgeable about all aspects of Government, so I will defer to the insight and expertise of reasonable and good-hearted people in my life.
• I promise that I will lead by example, and not control how you live your lives.
• I promise that the Federal Government will endeavor to make friends with other nations, but never at the expense of the American people.
• I promise to only nominate truly Constitutional judges and Government officials to the Congress for confirmation.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a partial list of what I believe to be Constitutional and Biblical governance. Please join me and help to steer America away from our current state of affairs. Thank you and God bless.

{Author’s thought: Obviously this is just a parody related to the 2008 US Presidential election campaign. Although this is a spoof, the message is not. What sane person wouldn’t like to support my platform? Please support liberty; and let’s not support people based upon ethnic race, voice diction and enunciation, or party affiliation. Let’s support principles that will provide a better future for our children and us. So are you going to vote for principle or media-hype?} Live well!
