Salutations
fellow American, and welcome to a new vision for a better
and more prosperous world. My name is Gavin McKee, and I am
asking for your vote. Vote for vision, vote for a voice,
vote for
the elegant revolution.
You
want to see how we will make it happen?
First,
within one year of taking office we will create a new form
of presidential representation directly elected by the
people. (An end to the electoral college.) The election
commission will no longer be run by the parties, but rather
be an independent group. All election fees will be paid by
the government, including advertising, eliminating all
donations.
Second,
the representation in Congress will move closer to its
constitutionally mandated level at one representative for
every sixty-thousand voting adults.
Third,
the Bureau of Indian Affairs will be renamed the Department
of First Nations and First People's Relations and its
leadership will be elected by the Native American Congress.
Fourth,
free market taxation. Each taxpayer will be able to choose
what their payments go towards.
Fifth,
opt-in healthcare for all. If you like your doctor, and
neither you nor your doctor want to get involved with any
single payer healthcare system, that is fine. But for those
without access to preventive healthcare, or an intrest in
participating in a universal care system, we will deliver a
new way for the needs of public health and safety to be
met. This opt-in healthcare for all means what it says too:
for all the people of the Earth. Here is a bombshell, if
you vote for us, we will deliver preliminary immortality
treatments, within ten years, to all who want it,
worldwide. With the global health care system, the
transition of those who wish will progress through the many
stages to functional immortality. I am not concerned of a
world of billions, I see space for trillions and trillions.
In keeping with that vision, all people who receive
functional immortality will have to leave Earth for one
hundred years.
Sixth,
it is in the National security interest of the United
States and the Free World to see a democratic China. For
decades many of the Chinese elite have promised America an
opening of the political stranglehold the PLA and Party
enjoy over their citizens. They have failed to deliver, in
the face of our polite entreaties and open business
exchanges, and with insulting regularity they now threaten
our way of life. We recommend they hold free and open
elections before we replace their government directly.
Seventh,
we will automate all driving in North America and save
60,000 lives and 10,000,000 accidents a year. This will be
done within six months. This program will also deliver a
thirty percent reduction in truck and car emissions on the
continent. Automated cars will also allow for flying cars.
Eighth,
we are told the oceans, Our Oceans, are on the verge of
biotic collapse. No fish, unhealthy algae, garbage... The
answer is to send out more and bigger fishing boats!?! No.
We will ban all commercial fishing for three years and we
will confiscate the boats of violators. We will save the
oceans!
Ninth,
when we were young we heard stories of starving and sick
children who needed our help. We were told thirty-thousand
kids under ten died of hunger and treatable disease every
day, and as children, we were certain our elders could not
countenance such pointless sorrow. We, however, were wrong.
It seems many fear the growth of population, and for
reasons of cold calculation think that people should die in
pain. They are wrong, and their fears are wrong, and the
fact that thirty-thousand kids still die every day is
wrong. We will stop the killing train. We will help those
who need help, with love and humanity.
Tenth,
we will restrict the beef industry, source of half of
planetary greenhouse emissions, and destination of half our
potable water, and turn public and donated private lands
back to the Buffalo herds. We will raise and bury our
superhighways to give nature back its superhighways.
There are a thousand beautiful facets of the elegant
revolution, let these ten stand as a beginning in our
discussion of the possible.
