Here is what I think a Presidential candidate should be offering as a new Contract With America. 
I'd like to hear him say...

If elected as your President, I will earnestly and relentlessly push for the following by all lawful means available to me, and require all my appointees, and those they are responsible for, to likewise support these items in word and deed:

1. Enforce existing employment laws and put some corporate officers in jail for knowingly employing illegals. Put a few construction company managers/owners and/or corporate farmers in several states in jail for hiring illegals, and see the shock waves dry up jobs for illegals. The free market will adjust the economy, and yes, there are Americans that will take the jobs.

2. Immediately call on Congress to fund a large increase in the military. We have China, Iran, Russia, and others inching ever closer to war with us. We need more troops, more ships, more planes, and more equipment to make our military strong enough to cause our enemies to think twice. It is a shame we hire civilians to go into harm's way to do what American soldiers and Marines should be doing. And that includes removing women from any duty station where they can be killed by enemy activity.

3. Turn our military loose to fight according to rules of engagement like they had in WWII. Rules of engagement where the intent is to win decisively. No more "nation building".

4. Put our military on the border with Mexico, and allow them to use any appropriate and necessary means to stop any illegals they see. Mexico uses machine guns and barbed wire on their southern border.

5. Make it clear to our Islamic enemies that the US considers it an appropriate response, i.e. an option we reserve, to any large scale attack, or combination of small attacks, by Moslems on American soil, to destroy Medina, Mecca, and/or the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. There will be no 2nd chances. Hit us, and those places start to disappear at our discretion. Once destroyed, our airborne tankers will spray them with liquefied hog lard. If the Dome of the Rock is destroyed, we will ask Israel to come in and effect repairs on the Temple, if they so desire.

6. Immediately and relentlessly push Congress - going over their heads to the American people - to pass the Fair Tax. Enough is enough.

7. Order the Justice Dept (they work for the President) to enforce the Constitutional requirement to protect the 1st and 2nd amendments. There is far too much federal, state, and local government squelching of Christian religious freedom and conservative speech that is protected by the Constitution, and the Justice Dept. needs to stand with the Constitution. Let the government govern with the least interference in freedom, and the Church will be freer to be the Church.

8. Immediately appoint a small committee of solidly conservative people to assess what laws, federal Court rulings, and budget items are not Constitutionally mandated (i.e. within the limited bounds of a federal government), and recommend a hasty but rational path to get government out of those areas.

9. Push for whatever action can be taken to ensure Roe v Wade is overturned and the decisions left to the several States.

10. Make it clear to all federal administrative agencies for which the President has responsibility that they - from cabinet secretary down to the lowliest clerk - work for him and any of those workers not performing up to acceptable standards will be fired. Tell their unions to go to Hades. And any manager that uses their ability to hire and fire for unjust reasons will be summarily fired, and if justified, prosecuted. No political hirings and firings.

11. Use the line item veto. If Congress wants to sue you after you use it, so be it. By the time the courts come to a decision, we will save a lot of money.

12. Make it clear to other nations that we will not involve ourselves in how you run your country, no matter how foolish or self-destructive you may be. It is the responsibility of your citizens to rise up and replace a government that has become oppressive, just as we Americans did. Trade with us as peers, accept reasonable tariffs on your goods so we do trade as peers, and we are your best friend. We may even agree to protect you from enemies from without. we will help you so long as you are wisely helping yourselves. But, if you even so much as threaten American lives or property, including any violence or oppression against American missionaries or aid workers, we will address that threat with whatever means necessary to ensure the threat is gone. We will not be tread upon. We will not recognize borders or sovereignty if your nation refuses to take timely action against those within your country who threaten American lives or property.

12a. If other nations are offended, if people from other lands are shocked, simply tell them, "Thank you for your opinions. When you and your nation have managed to have a stable, productive, and free nation for as long as the US, and when you have freed as many nations as we have at the cost of your sons' lives as we have, and when you are ready to stop taking our aid, then we will consider your opinions on how we manage our own nation."

13. The UN must straighten up or we get out and send them to another nation willing to waste its money and land on them.

14. Put an end to all federal government involvement (e.g. money) in furthering the interests of the global warming crowd. It is nothing more than a myth created to allow governments to take over private property. It should be the official policy of the US that there is no man-made global warming issue to address, and there is no science to support the theory of man-made global warming.

15. Push for legislation designating English as the official and only US language, and recognizing that there is a single American culture that has existed since Colonial times. One language, one culture, with all its variations on the fringes. Use of other languages by government will only be used when to the advantage of the government.

16. All those granted citizenship because they were born here to parents who were illegal will have their citizenship revoked, with viable options for regaining that citizenship if they are truly American. Those wishing to become citizens must 1) speak, read, and write English fluently; 2) Agree in writing to abandon all allegiances to other lands and cultures; 3) pledge allegiance to the US and to its flag; 4) show that he or she has adopted the traditional (i.e not the Euro-trash neo, MTV version) American culture. Immigration numbers should be lowered, and there should be a drastic decrease in H1-B and similar visas. No American should lose a job because an immigrant is willing to do sloppier work for less money.

17. Official US policy will be that homosexuality (i.e. homophilia) will be treated as any other paraphilia - as a treatable condition and not a qualifying status for civil rights nor protected behavior. What adults do in private is between them and God, and He can handle that quite well without invasive Big Brother laws. When homosexuality is brought out in public, it should be treated by government with the same disdain which we treat adulterers and other antisocial sexual behaviors.

18. The Justice Department should begin applying antitrust laws and anticorruption laws (e.g. RICO) to the big unions. Today's unions decrease quality and increase cost. Get government out of the way of the private sector turning that around.
