A Modest Proposal!

I would like to Propose a Challange to Both Presidential Candidates!

You both claim to know that "We the People" are indeed your boss: you claim to accept that Constitutional imparitive, and that you will govern accordingly. None of us "we the people" folks can accurately see into the future, and you have no right to demand that we do. At this point you ask for our TRUST & all we can do is "TRUST" you, because your word is all that we have: Well That is Not Enough!

None of us "we the people" can really know what you are thinking, what you truely believe, or what you will do if elected OUR president: we have been betrayed & deceived before. Its sort of like we must close our eyes, and "buy a pig in the poke." Well That is Not Good Enough!

I would like to see some solid actions & substantial decisions about how you would govern OUR COUNTRY -*- BEFORE I vote for you! I challenge both of you to do something very different BEFORE any of "we the people" are ask to vote for you!

FIRST: I ask that you both convein a conference (probably private), calling in most of your top advisers, to discuss/debate & advise precisely Which Persons you might/would invite to Join The Most Influential Positions in Your Administration!

SECOND: I ask that you consider these reccomendations in what ever manner you find helpful to making a decidion: and then LONG BEFORE the time you want us to vote for you, you publically announce your decisions as to which/who Americans you would invite to join your administrations in Each Cabnet Position, in Each Major White House Position, in Each Major Director Position in the Executive Branch, and in Each Major Presidential Advisor Position. I suggest that you may want to give us a list of your top three nominations for each of these positions.

THIRD: I ask that you select a bright & capable & hard working Vice President: and that you designate Particular Responsibilities & Duties for that person, there is plenty of work to go around: and I ask that you inform us publically regarding those decisions BEFORE you ask us to vote for you.

By doing this, you would be showing us a great deal about how you would govern: and you would inviting us to observe your judgement on a major presidential matter BEFORE you ask us to hire you as our president.

I ask that my collegues on AWE contribute their request of you BEFORE we are ask to vote for you. I know this has never been done before, but I also know that we are facing some very difficult times: and showing us who you would choose to help you govern would be a long way toward helping us with the information we could use in our decision as to who we want as President! ....pjwky

Which ever one of you accepts this challenge & selects the most qualified people to be members of your administration, I Will Vote For! I will also send you money to campaign, and I will work to help you get elected. ...pjwky

Is This Really Such a Bad Idea?

I understand that it is very easy to gripe & complain about what we do not like about either McCain or Obama: it is easy to find some things we do not like about almost anyone: but we are not talking here about picking friends, we are talking about risk & benefits for the future of our country.

I am searching for a way to "light a candle" while we also "curse the darkness"? Can that be done? I wonder? ...pjwky

I have an idea, we should hold our political debates on a game-show like venue where they have to be strapped up to lie detectors when answering questions.... Their answers would then be known to be true or false immediately.... can't think of a good name for the show, perhaps one of you can come up with something that sounds peppy. We could maybe take it a bit further and marry this show with Distraction and if they are deemed to be lying, an electric dog collar around their neck would go off for a few seconds to remind them that "The People Demand Respect" hehe. I'm guessing Neilson Ratings for this type of show would be phenomenal!

It could be franchised for local elections in every city just get tickets and watch live at the city square every election season hehehee.
