Here are some proposed platforms:
National College:
An entire spectrum of college courses that can be received online and that are practically (if not totally) free. In-person testing that can lead to certification in those courses. Grades can be optional in addition to pass/fail proficiency testing. Passage of a critical mass of courses towards a particular goal will result in a "scholarship" to any needed brick and mortar classes.
A final accredited degree will result with full passage of all requirements.
Our children and young adults are forced to conform and push and shove their way into the best colleges. Unless you know how to play the game, you don't stand a chance for the best that our country offers. College is becoming an elite option and it is breaking the parents bank. Students graduate with no room to breath and reflect, they graduate with one big worry - how do I pay this huge student debt?
The United States of America has had a negative savings rate for over 24 months - the last time we saw this sort of negative savings rate was just before the Great Depression.
College fees have skyrocketed during this administration - it has encourage these rate increases by its massive misguided drunken spending - and a general fear of progress and science.
National College - because if our children can prove they can do the work, we need their help to make our worlds dreams come true.
Immigration Language proficiency requirements:
This is something we can lead with, try to wrap your heads around this one!
All Americans should cherish their right to vote. Many Americans are mislead in this process - because they cannot understand English.
Many Americans miss out on a great many opportunities - because they cannot understand English.
Many Americans are mislead into voting against their own beliefs, interests and values - because they cannot understand English.
America is a melting pot, and this great nation has been built on the hopes and dreams of peoples from all over the globe yet everyday we lose the opportunity to understand much of what they have brought to us - because many cannot speak English.
Many of our fellow citizens lead lives of fear and are taken advantage of and lorded over, often by the very people that brought them to our shores - because they are not fluent in English.
There has never been a more important time to understand every voice our nation has to offer. We need understanding and not resentment. We need to remove the blocks that impede those new to our community - because dialog breaks down barriers and because our country was founded on freedom and enjoying those freedoms requires the ability to understand where they are offered.
We propose a requirement of 600 hours of English and/or a passing grade on a proficiency test- this is not a proposal to indoctrinate anyone, it is a safeguard against tyranny, fear, and lost opportunity. It is also an investment against Hate Crimes and misunderstanding.
Hawaii has had Statewide Health Care for all of its citizens for years
Isn't it amazing the Democrats have failed to make this known??!! (astounding)
We need a National Health Plan (for so many obvious reasons that we are not going to outline them here at this time), we can do it - one State already has! Hawaii ........
