United States Of Purple Presidency Platform - Out With The Old, In With The Solutions

 Let's do a quick review of where the country is today:

1. Unemployment is still well over 8% even though President Obama said it would never get this high unless the Federal government spent over $800 billion in a failed economic stimulus program.
2. The combined underemployment and unemployment rate is about 15%.
3. Every WEEK, about 400,000 Americans file for first time unemployment benefits and every MONTH, if we are lucky, about 200,000 jobs are created, you do the math.
4. Since declaring war on drugs about forty years ago, the drug addiction and drug cartel problem has gotten worse.
5. Since forming the Federal Energy Department over thirty years ago, we still not have a coherent, rational, and effective energy independence strategy in place.
6. Since forming the Department of Education about thirty years ago, we still grossly under educate our kids vs. the rest of the world.
7. Since Congress ordered the Defense Department to seal the U.S. border with Mexico in 1985, millions of illegal immigrants and untold tons of illegal drugs have come across that border.
8. The Federal government loses over five hundred TRILLION dollars a year via waste and fraud in its Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamp, unemployment programs, and tax collection processes and programs.
9. Despite passing Obama Care, health care costs continue to rise, possibly tens of millions of Americans will lose their employer provided health insurance coverage since Obama Care makes it less expensive to drop these programs than continue them, the Medicare and Medicaid head actuary recently published his analysis that shows Obama Care will increase the national debt by over $300 billion, and the legislation is fatally flawed when it comes to understanding and remedying the root causes of escalating health care costs.
10. According to a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 56% of Americans would vote to throw all 535 members of Congress out of office if they could.
11. Congressional approval ratings are at an all time low.
12. President Obama continues to wage his class warfare strategy by falsely accusing wealthier American earners of not paying their fair share of taxes, using Warren Buffet as a prop that is not representative of the true, high tax rates of most higher earning Americans.
13. The President implicitly continues to wage his divisive class warfare by remaining silent as his Democratic colleagues accuse ordinary Americans holding a difference of opinion to be racists, Ku Klux Klan members, knuckle dragging Neanderthals, a__h___s, gerbils, barbarians, and terrorists.
14. The national debt has skyrocketed to over $15 TRILLION, putting a debt burden of over $130,000 on each U.S. household.
15. Housing prices continue to decline while gas and food prices continue to rise.
16. Our cumbersome tax code is a burden to economic growth and while it is now over 70,000 pages long, companies like General Electric still get away without paying any Federal income taxes.
17. The Federal government wastes money in thousands of ways every day having recently expended taxpayer wealth on projects such as determining when dogs became man’s best friend, how to ride a bike, and studying people’s interactions with Farmville.
18. Federal elections now cost the political class billions of dollars, dollars that come from special interest groups, blood dollars which drown out the voice and rights of ordinary American citizens.
19. The Patriot Act and Presidential directives and assassinations continue to trample our liberties and freedom.

Who is responsible for this mess? When did things get so bad? Why did we allow our politicians to run the country into the ground, taking our hard earned wealth and freedom with it?  Where did we stray so that our political processes have become so dysfunctional?


All good questions. If you have any distress about the above nineteen points, please consider joining the United States of Purple campaign for Presidency to fix what ails this country. The United States of Purple philosophy is to focus on the how: how do we fix the major problems of our times and our nation, how do we bring the country together so that there are no more blue states, no more red states, just one United States of Purple, how do we install processes (e.g. term limits) so that never get into this situation again, how do we restore our freedom?


Our analyses and problem resolution approach is laid out in our website, http://www.unitedstatesofpurple.com/. I doubt that any of the current candidates running for office have given as much thought to addressing the issues above and others than what you will find at our website. However, this week and beyond we will take a detailed look at some of the solutions we are positive will do a better job than what Washington has come up with over the past four decades.


Waiting for the political class to solve the war on drugs forty years after they started is not likely to be rewarded. Waiting over thirty years for the political class to come up with a solution to our energy crisis is not likely to be rewarded. Waiting thirty years for the political class to fix our broken education processes is not likely to be rewarded. Waiting for the political class to streamline our 70,000 page tax code is not likely to be rewarded. Waiting for Obama Care to solve a problem that this President and Congress never took the time to understand is not likely to be rewarded.

In the next week or so we will provide approaches to these problems that are simple yet elegant, effective yet efficient, cost controlled vs. costs out of control. I dare the political class, based on their history, to try and match these criteria. In the meantime, please visit our website, check out our platform and solutions and please take the time to visit the page at the site that asks you to sign the petition for term limits.


I believe that a high percentage of our political problems come about as a result of politicians seeking to personally enrich themselves by staying in office as long as they can. This requires them to sacrifice integrity and the common good of ordinary Americans for the sleazy dollars needed for constant reelection. Removing reelection as an option would go a long way to fixing a lot of our political process abuses.


So even if you disagree with our plans to address and eliminate the root causes of or national problems, please take the step to support our term limits drive. Ask yourself, how much worse could it get if the current denizens of Congress were replaced?


But we are confident that you will find our approach to problem resolution will be looked on favorably as will the problems we will discuss in detail this week, which include:

• Changing our tax code from 70,000 pages to one page.
• The only way to solve our debt problem (and it does not involve raising taxes).
• Solving our energy and global warming issues with one plan.
• Fixing Social Security once and for all.
• Creating an intelligent and compassionate solution to our illegal immigration problem.
• Stopping the war on drugs, winning the challenge of addiction.
• Really solving the problem of escalating health care costs.

No more red states, no more blue states, just one United States under the banner of Purple:

We invite all readers of this blog to visit our new website, "The United States Of Purple," at


http://www.unitedstatesofpurple.com/


The United States of Purple is a new grass roots approach to filling the office of President of The United States by focusing on the restoration of freedom in the United States, focusing on problem solving skills and results vs. personal political enrichment, and imposing term limits on all future Federal politicians. No more red states, no more blue states, just one United States Of America under the banner of Purple.


The United States Of Purple's website also provides you the formal opportunity to sign a petition to begin the process of implementing a Constitutional amendment to impose fixed term limits on all Federally elected politicians. Only by turning out the existing political class can we have a chance of addressing and finally resolving the major issues of or times.
