Of course, there are hundreds more topics.
Pick one or make your own and tell the country and politicians (I am listening) what your fears and/or concerns are.
Although I could take each of these topics and explain in detail what I would love to be done, I think I have an overarching philosophy to all of the issues. Put the decisions of society in the hands of the people best able to make decisions about society, the people. This used to be referred to as “rugged individualism”. People should have the ability to make their own destinies and suffer the consequences for their actions. If people fail, let them fail. If people succeed, let them reap the benefits. Personal responsibility for one’s actions should be key in government today, but time and time again the government usurps more power and removes more choices from the people.
I think the most important issue of today is Gun Rights. Without the ability to protect our rights, what else matters? Word are only words, they do not do anything unless we make them. Liberals and other anti-gun groups would have you believe that they are dangerous and tools for evil, but they are not. The gun is freedom. This might sound a little cliché, but let me explain. Before the gun, the people were almost slaves to the rich and the powerful. They lived in feudal Europe as slaves, and then the crossbow came along and gave power to the laborers. A crossbow gave the peasants the ability to kill knights with little or almost no training. No surprise the church outlawed the weapon as a “tool of the devil”. The same occurred when guns came along, it took a day to teach someone how to load and shoot a gun and he could kill the rich and powerful on horseback easily. Before guns, Archers were the only people that could take down nobles in armor and horseback (and with only an amazing shot). The archers trained since they were 7 years old to do this and were almost a noble class unto themselves because of this power. Guns gave the people the ability to make their own lives, protect their own families, and resist oppression. Words on paper mean nothing if you cannot enforce them. The 1st amendment means nothing unless you have the ability to enforce it. This is why the founders put the 2nd amendment in the SECOND PLACE. THEY THOUGHT THIS RIGHT WAS PARAMOUNT! Guns keep the power in the hands of the people and not in the hands of the government. If you look across history, all horrible oppressive regimes and genocides were preceded by a GUN BAN (Hitler, Stalin, and countless others). Think about gun control.
What do the politicians say gun control is meant to do? They say it is supposed to decrease crime, but it is a proven fact that when guns are removed, crime rates sky rocket. Gun control only ensures keeping guns out of the hands of the people that we want to have them, law abiding citizens. Do you think a criminal not go on a mass shooting spree because he has to break a gun control law to do so? If you think that a ban/control on guns or some guns would decrease the severity of shootings, you are wrong. Do you think that a ban on guns will erase them from society? Look at the “ban” on drugs in the “war on drugs”. They are everywhere. A gun ban/gun control does not keep guns out of the hands of criminals, it only ensures that they will be armed and the citizens will be left defenseless from criminals and/or an oppressive government. The government will not and cannot protect us from criminals, police seem to investigate crimes, not keep them from happening. They will investigate your family’s deaths because they will never be able to prevent it from happening. Are we to have a policeman in ever room in the nation? Put the ability to protect oneself in the hands of the person that is best able to make decisions about one’s wellbeing/safety, the individual. If it is known that banning guns does not decrease crime, why would they try to ban guns? You decide.
