Attention Americans!
I voted for Ross but he was a typical type A personality. He had his faults. But it shows what the potential of a 3rd party candidate could have if we could get a good one. I still think Ron Paul is probably our best hope because there is just no one else out there with name recognition that would have a chance. Jessi Ventura maybe. I would vote for him in a second but I think the general public would probably just laugh at him.

Attention Americans!
Lets just start by keeping it simple....Start with these changes and go from there..
1) term limits for congress persons and senators (2 terms max)
2) add to the requirements for prez... Must have served at lease 4 years continuous active duty in one of the 5 military services.
3) The federal government cannot spend more than is collected in taxes.
4) All government employees (especially the elected ones) have to use the VA for their health care.
Any other suggestions??

I do not agree that one must have served in the military to be president however. I would suggest something else. An intensive military education class that the president elect would be required to take after winning the election, and the time he or she is sworn in. Our commander-in-chief MUST know how to command.
what I would add to your list is DROP THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE! We are no longer the "ignorant masses" that made up the american population that our founding fathers correctly labeled us as. In 1776, the average person had no true ability to vote for the president that would help them the most. Hell, today there most likely isn't a much greater percentage of the population qualified.
One thing I say, which many won't agree with is this: news and reporting services must be held accountable. None of us, and I mean NONE of us, should turn to Fox news to gain information. They are biased. Completely. They have a fool play-act at supporting the liberal news. Watch Geraldo once, you will cry yourself to sleep that night. The point is, many many MANY of our people sit at home every night, and flip through the airwaves(outdated term now I guess)to find this accursed station. They gain all their political beliefs from it. It is sickening. The liberal media is just as bad I assume, but I grow up in a conservative family, and they watch Fox 24/7, so its failings I know the best. The point is, both sides have the constitutional right to do what they are doing. But they do not have the right, in my mind, to do it in such a manner that they destroy the truth, and in turn, destroy the ability of our people to create our own thoughts in a pure and honest manner.
