American Election News

People ask all sorts of questions to find out what kind of person I am. It makes sense since I am running for President of the United States and I am largely unknown to the general public. I was recently asked who my five favorite presidents were and why.

Harry Truman once said, “No man can really fill the Presidency.” We all would love to think Washington could not tell a lie and that Honest Abe really was honest. We all want our heroes and yes, presidents to be perfect. But no one single man, by himself, could ever or can now lead our nation alone. That said, here are my choices for top five, in chronological order. Tough choices to be sure.

If you’re tired of talking points and sound bites from our presidential hopefuls, you’re probably not alone. I’d like to add some substance to the discussion. Who knows? Perhaps the others might follow suit.

As the President of the United States, I and my Administration will:
- Meet with members of Congress personally to determine the best way to work together. Congress is responsible for representing the people of the nation in government and to others around the world. A positive working relationship with Congress is a necessity. Failure to obtain this relationship and failure of Congress to represent the people in an effective manner, consistent with the expectations of the oval office, will result in public record of actions. I will introduce a Congressional Report Card for every member of Congress. This Report Card will be available to everyone on the White House web site.
- Balance the budget. The federal government accepts tax money from the people of the United States. We must utilize those funds to benefit the United States as a whole. Spending your dollars for activities that do not eventually benefit you is irresponsible. The current administration and Congress have the desire and ability to spend hundreds of billions of your dollars. “Deficit Spending” has become a common phrase in Washington. My administration will take fiscal responsibility seriously and I will balance the budget by veto and campaigns of information directly to you, the American people.
- Secure Social Security. Congress has drawn funds from Social Security to the point of impending financial ruin. My administration understands the purpose of Social Security and will stop indiscriminate spending. Congress will no longer have the legal right to spend your Social Security funds. We will adjust the investment of these funds, wage cap, retirement age, payout amount, and other variables as needed to keep the system solvent.
- Bring the troops home. We all know soldiers deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere. We know the costs of war. Every conflict we are involved in must be reviewed. Each requires a clear objective, a true analysis of the costs, and a strategy to implement and exit. Countries and factions around the world must know that the United States will act swiftly and decisively in any future engagement.
- Secure the border. Border Security is our security and the rule of law must never be ignored. Illegal aliens enter the U.S. every day using a variety of methods. My administration will deport all illegal aliens from every city in America. We will “build the fence” using hardware, technology, and manpower. Financial penalties will be distributed to those who provide a sanctuary to illegal aliens.
- Reduce our dependence on foreign oil and then oil completely. We will work with Congress to clear roadblocks and encourage domestic oil production and refinery for the short term. We will then work with Congress to encourage the long term methods of production and storage of electricity. This electricity will be generated by the cheapest, cleanest, and newest technology at that point of time.

At this time, I am very pleased to announce that Bob Hargis (I-OK) has agreed to be my running mate for the 2008 election. Bob is no stranger to those who have followed other independents running for President, and we feel that together we can make a great team.

Bob and I share many values and stances on the issues. Most importantly we know that we can make a positive change in this country by bringing unity and solutions to our government rather than partisan politics.

According to the latest Reuters/Zogby poll, our US Congress now has an approval rating of 11%, barely double digits. While that is in itself a terrible fact, it is worse when you realize that the majority of our ‘mainstream’ presidential candidates are leaders in that not-so-popular group.

Dear America, why would you want a president chosen from a group you already distrust so greatly? Have you not had enough yet? Do you really believe solutions for our problems can come from those who have created and sustained them?

I am happy to announce that I am officially a registered candidate with the Federal Election Commission of the United States Government for President of the United States in 2008. In addition the “Steve Adams for President” committee is now an official entity in the eyes of the FEC. These milestones are important steps on our way to rescue the Presidency from traditional partisan politics.

Our need for registered supporters on PresidentAdams.com is critical to the success of this campaign. Though the official recognition by the FEC is a significant accomplishment, it is again only one of a number of steps along the way. We must keep moving forward together so that our efforts to this point are not rendered in vain. I invite everyone to join this movement by visiting www.PresidentAdams.com and registering your support. To succeed where others have failed, we must spread the word to our friends and families across the nation.

I have never written to the president before, because I never thought I would receive an answer. I do not expect an answer to this e-mail either, but there are times one must try…
