Not sure if I agree with Awesome on a few points...but, I definitely dig the legalize prostitution thing....(Sorry ladies, but, no man would ever willingly reduce his odds at getting Whoopie time!)

Legalize all drugs... if you're dumb enough to do crack-cocaine, no-one but your friends and family have a right to stop you. Prison sentences don't cure addiction.

Promise greater benefits to all soldiers, especially the ones who have had their tours of duty extended in the Middle East.

Stay in Iraq and Afghanistan... but leave Western Europe. As for Japan, end the stupid "no military except for a defensive one." left over from a war that ended over 60 years ago. Japan and Western Europe can take care of themselves and have ultimately recovered economically and socially from the war. Besides, there are places in our world that need our soldiers more than the UK, Germany, etc. Strengthen our ties with Taiwan.

Tell Puerto Rico it has 2 choices. Join and become a state and pay taxes, or become an independent nation which will be our ally and not one of our imperial territories. As for American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, I'll think about similar proposals.

Drill for oil off-shore and in Alaska, while at the same time give a huge tax break to the energy company that does the most to find new, cleaner and more economical uses of energy. Make this a yearly program.

Eliminate all capital gains and corporate taxes. Put an end to the estate tax, as well.

End the allowance of earmarks to bills, and eliminate spending on pork-barrel projects until the deficit is eliminated.

Legalize prostitution and gay marriage nationwide. Lower the drinking age to 18.

I like Daniel's thinking for the most part.

My major platform issue #1:

* Reduction of the Federal Footprint. The government's job is to provide unified standards to facilitate trade between states, to provide common infrastructures, to maintain a common standing army for national defense, and provide a body through which diplomacy between foreign nations can be conducted.

We do not need the government taking extra money out our pockets for national welfare programs that will be inefficiently administered and poorly conceived. Private charities to a far better job of contributing to the welfare of the less fortunate.

The government does not need to tax us further to support new departments and programs to bolster up poor foreign policy decisions, or to bail out failing industries that are chronically mismanaged. Industry leaders earn enough to be held responsible for whole-scale failures on their own. Without bailout money these industries would not have endured and we would not be panicked that our choice to invest in poorly managed business finally bit us back.

The job of the government is certainly NOT to save the rest of the world. It has proven itself incapable of saving even its own people when it interferes. Until it has proven that it can do a small job like maintain a strong national infrastructure and solid national defense, it does not need to be crusading around the world righting wrongs, fighting other people's fights, or telling them how they should live.

If nothing else, we could conquer Canada with nerf weapons.

But Canada has Moose, or mooses, or mossi, or whatever they are. I don't think nerf weapons could stop them. If we can get past them than we are home free
