On September 11, 2010, I announced on Twitter that I will file in as many of the 50 states as I can for the office of President of the United States. I cannot accept the policies or actions of incumbent president Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid or Betty McCollum, and will seek the support of the American people for my own candidacy.

What we need in 2010 is a package of legislation to put through Congress, which I intend to bring to the U.S. House of Representatives in my first year as a Representative from Minnesota's 4th District, together with other Congressional leaders. We then need a President in 2012 who will follow up, bring America back together with our Constitution, and restore our position as a nation where liberty and the original values of our Republic can flourish for all.

I want to serve a wake-up today, and call on President Obama that he has floundered, and led this country down the wrong road. The American people need him to be a one-term President, and in 2010 we need him to consent to a new Congress not dominated by the Democrat Party, but responsive to the cries for restoration of economic, social, political and religious liberty as this nation was intended by its Founders and Creator to be.

In 2010 our free market system is slipping away. We cannot just restore jobs lost since 2008, we need tens of millions of additional new, productive jobs throughout America if we are to get back in the game of the world's industrial powers. We need to restore our leadership in manufacturing. And we cannot continue to erode American industry as Obama and the Democratic Congress are doing, but must allow America to transform itself economically. To do this we need to restore to the states their power to right themselves, not make us dependent on an intellectual self-styled federal elite of so-called "progressives." Taxpayers must not be burdened with massive bailouts for banks and government takeovers, and massive deficits brought about by out-of-control federal expansion in every sphere of government.

Perhaps nowhere is this lack of leadership, and wrong-headed ideology, as apparent as in the field of health care, where Obama has presided over the dismantling of a world-class health care system. America is not "crying out for the public option," as Obama's Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted. The American health care system Obama is crippling was capable of rapid and effective improvement, and still would be if the burden of ObamaCare were removed by repeal and invalidation. I believe the funding basis of Obamacare, a government-enforced submission to health insurance companies with unlimited premiums for every American, is unconstitutional and will be struck down by the courts. The new Congress needs to immediately agree on new measures to allow competition of health plans across state lines, so states can help their people get better coverage under traditional plans or fee-for-service, according to individual choice of heads of households. The federal role of helping hardship cases and Medicare programs for that period of life where intensive medical care is required for aging with dignity, would be retained. Beyond that, I want the federal government to focus on reducing health disparities between races and classes in the critical areas of catastrophic illness, and to encourage early detection, prevention and education in every state. We don't need a massive new federal bureaucracy, we need to empower each state to benefit from leading health care based on innovation and private investment and development.

President Obama is systematically undermining our national security, and is apparently more intent on fulfilling his campaign promises to weaken our defense efforts which he made to secure the Democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton, than he is on protecting our homeland, and formulating a coherent strategy to lead our armed forces called to fight a distant military action in response to aggression on September 11, 2001, and other attacks against the United States abroad. If we do not know what our strategy and purpose is, we cannot enlist the cooperation of other nations, and we cannot provide defense. And we do not make America stronger or safer by relocating terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay to Thompson, IL or anywhere in America. As long as we abide by the Geneva Convention in our treatment of suspected enemy combatants, we do not need to bring them onto American soil or turn them over to civilian politically appointed judges. Many of the Obama policies in national security are fundamentally misguided. As President, I would be engaged at home and abroad in providing coherent leadership for our armed forces and bring our troops home as expeditiously as possible upon completion of their mission. I will not use our military as a laboratory for social re-engineering (I would keep Don't Ask Don't Tell and would not encourage women in the military and certainly not in combat), but will remain dedicated to its sole purposes, protecting our nation's security.

In the area of financial regulation, I will address the housing issue that government has created by misguided programs which systematically produce non-performing mortgage loans which undermine the housing sector, the banking system, and the global economy. I will revisit the whole area of mortgage-backed securities, so that originating lenders, not overseas governments, will be responsible for monitoring performance and taking the loss for non-performing loans. This will encourage banks themselves to enforce high standards, and the taxpayers will not take these losses.

We cannot have a strong America without strong families. I will oppose special interests who seek to undermine marriage and human life, which we as Americans hold sacred. We must encourage families and respect life as sacred. I would appoint Supreme Court members, given the opportunity, who understand that government has a compelling interest in protecting human life from the time it is created to natural death (in the words of our Declaration of Independence, 'that among these inalienable rights are LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness') and who would give the Constitution its original intent and enforce stare decisis in order that citizens would know what the laws are and that they will be enforced equally. I would revisit the Federal Rules of appellate and trial courts to hold courts accountable for giving effect to the laws our government passes, and ensure ethical conduct by lawyers and judges so that Americans can trust our courts. Activist judges should be restrained and held accountable, and only the People through their representatives in Congress should be activist in the area of the law. Roe v. Wade is an example of how activist judges can undermine individual rights and the rule of law and our Constitution. I would encourage the Supreme Court to take on more cases each year, and to follow up to ensure that their mandates are heeded by the lower courts.

I would seek legislation to abolish the Department of Education except for some uncontroversial experiments to assist schools on a voluntary basis to strengthen their offerings in science and mathematics. Teachers would be trained and licensed by the states. I would cease efforts to socially re-engineer our children and citizens. I would seek legislation to drastically shrink the Environmental Protection Agency and redistribute more of its powers to the states, consistent with federal statutes. I would work to protect our air and water quality and off-shore waters. I would work to keep America safe from nuclear waste.

I would ease the burden of government by massively shrinking its size and scope, looking to the states to pursue their own good through the People's representatives in state government.

The time has come for the federal government to cease to pursue affirmative action requirements in employment, and let equal opportunity replace it, and Title VII should be amended so that citizens can freely seek enforcement of equal opportunity rights. Because of federal requirements, employers have been buffaloed into maintaining expensive regulations and face massive class actions seeking to socially re-engineer their workforce. Corporations defend themselves by replicating massive human resources bureaucracies to keep people out of work, and make the hiring of each employee more expensive each year. Finally they just leave for another country with a more rational and predictable business environment. Cutting back to maintaining equal employment opportunity would let businesses hire the people they need when and where they are needed, based on their qualifications alone, and rewarded on their performance alone, not requirements of gender or race. I would work to quickly end the 'man-cession.'

We should encourage states to help maintain a network to get the word out so they can fill new positions as they open up, especially now, to immediately begin creating private sector jobs in each state. We've got to get economic growth and job development moving again, so business can focus on creating or expanding our industries which provide a higher quality of life to consumers in the United States and abroad, industries which can compete in a rapidly changing business world.

In each of these areas the Obamacrat ideology has failed and now seriously undermines American prosperity and success. I intend to restore that prosperity and success through my candidacy.
