Im contemplating running for office.. AMA
Nothing big, but starting off local.

I am a 30 year old vet.

I want to focus on:

VA system overhaul (I know some of you hate the military) making it a private sector business.

State education (Iowa), and obtaining and retaining quality teachers.


GLP, ask me questions, and judge my potential?

If you are referring to gay/lesbian, I am ok with them having the same rights to a relationship as anyone else has.

As someone who has been in a failed marriage, I know that its not what sex the two of you are, its how committed.

That being said, I believe that repealing the dont ask dont tell policy in the military was a mistake. There is no room in that environment for distractions.

Then you should. Its time that people start attempting to make change, through their platform. If we want to take back our country from what it has become, then it must be WE who takes it back.

Re: Im contemplating running for office.. AMA
Ok, then Ill put a few more of my ideas down.


Goals:

State level

1) Lower the pay of those serving in public positions. This would start with my own salary, lead by example.

2) Legalize Marijuana for taxation purposes

Long Term:

1) Reduce government, allowing private corporations to bid for jobs, allowing savings

2) Reduce military presence world-wide, without reducing military numbers

3) Transparency

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20675367


Sustainable Development is necessary. I believe that if we do not adjust for the exponential growth of our species (human), then we will not be able to sustain growth economically or intelligently.

That being said, I believe that we need to, at local and state levels, decide what is the correct course. I do not believe ANY organization outside of our own country should be mandating what we do.

With Agenda 21, it's being adopted at local/state levels, a lot of people aren't aware that it is Agenda 21 because it isn't called as such, it's usually a "comprehensive plan" or some other garbage. Are you fine with local or state government being "big government"?

I think youre grasping. Just because something is similar, that doesnt make it the same. I see no problem with taking something that works, whether it be from a neighboring state, or a far away country, and utilizing it to benefit ourselves.

To the second part of your question, no. I do not favor big government in any aspect, local or federal. I would actually work to privatize a lot of the federal workforce. Mainly because, as federal workers, they seem to have zero motivation, drive or desire to do their job with a sense of urgency.
