More from More

So here’s my Presidential bid. I wasn’t really sure how to do it all, so I hope I did alright. Also, to clarify, my last name is not More (although my first name really is Sara) and I made up Horace Dogwood. More came from Thomas More, who was an English politician during the time of King Henry VIII. I chose his last name because he chose to die rather than go against his conscience in a matter of politics. Also, since we don’t have cable, I haven’t been able to see any of the Presidential debates, so I wasn’t sure how to word everything. Here goes:

Hello, my name is Sara More and I want to be your next President. Someone you can be proud of and respect as your President. I want you to know that if I am elected, I’m not in it for the money, the fame, or anything of the like; I am in it for YOU, the regular American. I want you to know that you can get more from me than you probably could from others. You can get more from More than lies, deceit, and petty games.

The most important issue to me is the sanctity of life.
As president, I would keep the Mexico City policy, which states that any organization that receives federal funding cannot perform or promote abortions in other countries.
I would work to have the definition of an American citizen to be a person from the moment of conception.
I would work to overturn Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton, which make abortions legal through all nine months of pregnancy. In addition, I would elect pro-life candidates to the Supreme Court.
I do not support embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, or in vitro fertilization. I do not support embryonic stem cell research, not only because it has little hope of promise, but also because I believe the work of science to be to enhance life rather than destroy it.
Human cloning and in virto fertilization are unnatural and even scary for today’s times. Human cloning, I believe, tampers with creation too much, as does in vitro fertilization.
I do not believe in sex educations in the schools. These often teach children how to have sex. I would promote abstinence amongst today’s youth. Abstinence would lower the needs for artificial birth control and abortions.
I support California’s Proposition 4, which states that parents must be notified before a minor has an abortion.
Finally, I oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide and would work to make and keep both of them illegal.

Another important issue is homosexuality.
I oppose homosexuality as a threat to culture and society. Because of this viewpoint, I would work to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman throughout the country.
I would work to overturn any bills that support homosexual instructions in schools, even in children as young as kindergarten.
I support California’s Proposition 8, which will define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
I would remove any bills that force private orphanages to not discriminate against homosexual couples.

I’m a strong believer in the Amendment rights. A few highly important issues are as followed.
I oppose gun control. If people want a gun to perform illegal actions, then they will get a gun regardless of any laws in America. Gun control only leaves the law abiding citizens unprotected. Hence, I would lower gun control and even encourage classes on how to responsibly use a gun for self-defense measures.
Freedom of religion is important to the United States. Therefore, I would keep freedom of religion and not condemn religions that speak out on issues of morals against other minority groups. Naturally, if physical threats are being made, I believe the law should deal with anyone making the threats.
Freedom of speech is an important part of America. Hence, I would work to stop censoring and political correctness.

As for education, I believe that the government shouldn't be in the school business so much. I think there should be a few basics that each school is required to teach and then it should be up to the individual communities to decide what is taught in that particular school. Parents should be more involved with their children's educations. It's my personal belief that we should do away with all public schools, thus cutting education taxes, because it costs a great deal more to educate in the public schools than in a private school.

The economy...If you look at history, the Depression occurred because of an influx of false money. Similar things are happening now. In the 30s, instead of simply allowing the economy to hit rock bottom and then slowly climb, people tried to fix the situation by telling people to buy, buy, buy! However, this left the economy in bad shape for a good length of time until the stock market finally crashed and the situation was even worse than it would have been originally. Therefore, I would allow the economy to run its course without making matters worse by throwing more false money into the system and setting ourselves up for an even bigger crash. Therefore, I strongly oppose the bailout bill. I do not believe that the American people should have to suffer so drastically for the mistakes of others. I believe that the executives of Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae should have to step forward and foot the bills.

I believe the war to be necessary. As someone with friends in the military, I want our troops home as quickly as possible. However, I believe that drawing them out immediately would be detrimental. I support the notion of training Iraqi soldiers and helping the Iraqi people become more self sufficient without having to rely on the United States.

For a long while, I was closely associated with a man named Horace Dogwood. Horace is now well-known for offering bribes to prominent politicians. One day, he offered me a great deal of money if I changed my position on a few different issues. I could not argue in defense of something I did not believe in or against something I did believe in. At that time, I told Horace I would not and I have not spoken with him since. I believe that something of great importance amongst politicians is honesty (I know…an honest politician is an oxi-moron). Therefore, I would like to let all of America know that I strive to distance myself from unethical politicians once I discover their lack of honesty.

Thank you for listening and may you all have a wonderful day.
