This Presidential race has seen the most colossal battle of rumors, revelations, and revilement in political history.
I discovered that a surprising number of my friends and neighbors are still torn about Tuesday. They do not like either candidate for a variety of reasons.
I have helped many friends and neighbors by reminding them that this election is not about personality. The only thing that matters is policy – what the candidate will do as President. To hell with the rumor mill.
Donald Trump had some perhaps slightly racy years, matured, and has been living a clean Christian life since marrying Melania. After giving up on both the Democrat and Republican parties, he walked away from a comfortable 1% insider life and spent over $58 million of his own money taking on the uni-party beltway globalist establishment. He loves America enough to make a great personal sacrifice as a true American patriot.
Donald Trump’s Contract With The American Voter is exactly what President Trump will do. It will reconstruct the hearth and soul of our Great nation. It will reverse the great calamities impacting millions of Americans.
Everyone who reads the Contract will find themselves in it. Please share this article with your perplexed friends. It is all they need to know to be comfortable when they vote on Tuesday.
DONALD J. TRUMP CONTRACT WITH THE AMERICAN VOTER
“Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
•
FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits
on all members of Congress;
• SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees
to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public
safety, and public health);
• THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal
regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
• FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional
officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
• FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials
lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
• SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists
raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following seven actions to protect American workers:
•
FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or
withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
• SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from
the Trans-Pacific Partnership
• THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury
to label China a currency manipulator
• FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce
and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses
that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool
under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
• FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the
production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American
energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
• SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and
allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline,
to move forward
• SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N.
climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water
and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
•
FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum
and order issued by President Obama
• SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement
for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold
and defend the Constitution of the United States
• THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary
Cities
• FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million
criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign
countries that won’t take them back
• FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone
regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming
into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
1. Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
2. End The Offshoring Act Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
3. American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
4. School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
7. End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
10. Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.
This is my pledge to you.
And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.”
