While I have disagreement with some of the specific items listed, the overwhelming majority of this "Platform of the American People's" action items are right on!
This platform is the result of 6 national polls of the American people, asking their opinions of the serious issues facing our nation and the proposed solutions. The polling results are available for review and next to each plank in this "Platform of the American People" the polling results for that plank are displayed.
The broad categories are:
- English and American Civilization
- Immigration, the Border and Assimilation
- Science and Technology
- Prizes
- Energy and the Environment
- Taxes and Jobs
- Social Security and Retirement
- Freedom of Religion
- Defending America
This isn't a Democrat, Independent or Republican document, it is the result of the sincere opinions of a broad representation of Americans of every political stripe. Visit the website, read the platform, make your own decision about this document and how it aligns with you personal values
I can imagine every one of us can find something to disagree on, but I can also imagine that everyone, if we take the time to listen to and understand each other, will find we have more values in common than points of dissimilarity. Visit the website or download the petition to your computer. Download now (You will need Foxit Reader or Adobe Reader)
I have little doubt that except for the most virulent partisan among us, most will agree to most of the agenda of "Platform of the American People." Therefore I'm recommending that everyone take a moment to visit the website, read this treatise on American ideals and if you too can agree with the majority of its tenants, follow through, sign the petition.
The future of our nation it too important and, in the end, we are all really not that different in the values we hold dear.
