Explain in a total of 200 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected President of the United States. If these priorities require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
- ...I would look carefully at the way government policy influences crop production by appropriating money to corn and soybean production and divert the money to more diverse and healthful crops and encourage local farms. This would require less money than what is going to A.D.M. which is a result of their strong lobbying connections rather then the health and diversity of this countries best interests.
Although this may not be considered a policy I would recommend a study of the election process and the abuse of it. I think it is important to have a full study of the Florida election and how it failed in the last presidential election and the lessons from Watergate and Carter papers and to the most recent assault on the electoral (Federal) vote process in Texas.
he most important policy is that concerning the environment and I would promote Environmentally sound technologies which could become a major export and an economically sound direction and focus for the new millennia. America has great untapped resources to bring to the rest of the world and insure that we stay in the lead as the worlds most sound and productive economy. This approach will also insure our security and that of World health and the fragile balance of life that will confront the next generation if this is not a priority.
