com. Now, Let's Do Ourselves a REVOLUTION!!!

PROPOSAL 13:

LUCKY 13 for CHILDREN. We should individually and, in our own words, phone our

governor's office and speak to a staff member (supplying name is optional; they keep

records of citizen's position - a tally of pros and cons - and report most interesting statements

to their boss) and/or leave a message at his/her website. Ditto OUR representatives in state

legislators and/or county exec and/or mayor and/or council member.

       Convert all regular public schools into charter and magnet schools. On average,    children in private schools (most of which our Christian, especially, Catholic) score higher    on national standardized and state-wide tests (which helps prevent teachers from awarding

social promotions - for example, promoting a child who has failed fourth grade to fifth grade

for fear of damaging child's ego - isn't it more compassionate to say to child: "We care about

you, we want you to master fourth grade and not get lost and fall behind in fifth and have

to be rewarded with another social promotion until you receive a meaningless  high school

diploma; of course, the vast majority of teachers give such promotions to cover their tracks,

they don't want to look bad with so many failing students under their tutelage; further, it is virtually impossible for principals to fire incompetent teachers. You digress; on verge of A.D.D. attack) then home-schooled, magnet and charter kids who in turn score higher then regular public school youngsters. Regulars have improved somewhat due to Bush's "No   Child Left Behind" (liberal-dominated media has lied about policy and results) but not

enough and won't progress any further due to teacher's unions. Public schools were

nearly as good as Catholic schools - academics and discipline - prior to the early 1960s.

What happened? In early '60s, the first and biggest teacher's union formed! Since then, on their orders, states pumped hundreds of billions of additional dollars into public schools      and they got worse! Albert Shankor, the former head of union, said in 1985: "We'll care          about the kids when they're old enough to pay union dues." (By the way, on average it costs $12,000 a year to 'educate' a regular public school child; $6,000 Catholic).

      The problem with regular public schools: teachers aren't paid enough and most

schools don't have the latest textbooks and/or computors and/or etc. They earn only an

average of 10% less then firemen and cops and their benefits and retirement packages

are better then theirs! Pay more and you'll have better teachers and better-performing kids...

Debate in progress...Charter and magnet school teachers are paid less then regular public

school teachers and can easily be fired for poor performance. Charters and Magnets

aren't as well-equipped as regulars.

     What possibly can explain this state-of-affairs? Unions have no control over charter

schools and only limited control of magnets. Citizen Reporter has a niece, Alexa (age 9)

in a magnet plus is in Delta program and another niece, Katie, in a magnet. Their

teachers are creative and innovative, their principals don't spend most of school day in

their offices but in classrooms helping students they suspect are falling behind and can

call teachers at home with homework questions (truly dedicated teachers!). Less then 20%

of schools in most states are charters and magnets. Deplorable! Encouraging: some states

are experimenting with virtual academies which are sort of charter/magnet/home school

combos. Discouraging:  Some states where home schools are legal want to rescind their

legality claiming parents aren't qualified and don't possess teacher's licenses. But, they are

outperforming your regular public school teachers! The real reason: Most parents

who home-school are religious and object to immoralities being taught in public schools

and incorporate religious training as part of curriculum. How dare they! Liberals object:

they must be indoctrinated into liberalism like good, little brain-washed regulars.

     The hell with the socialist unions. Let's do what's right by the kids.

                                                                                                                                                       

Proposal 14:

Prohibit Unsupported Mandates. Fed gov dictates to states that they must do a

particular thing and fed gov contributes between 0% and 65% of the necessary funds.

It shouldn't be retro-active but we already proposed something to make up for that

fact in previous Chain letter: Reduce budgets for unconstitutional federal  departments

of Eduction, Agriculture, Housing, Interior, Transportation by over 75% over a period

of ten years with three-quarters going toward reducing deficit/debt and the remainder

being added to what fed gov already gives to the states in these areas - and with no

strings attached! The new fed committees (no longer departments) should monitor how

money is spent (without dictating how it is spent), propose programs to states in these

areas and if state is interested, fed gov must fully fund it! Returning to Mandates: Fed

gov must prove that they have the constitutional authority (no more abusing commerce

clause) to order it and then fully fund it, preferably, each state would design its own       program to carry it out. (Healthcare too!; it is not constitutionally within the domain of  national government - let each state design Medicaid and Medicare programs while fed       gov is responsible for trillions of debt and fraud due to their mismanagement of these        programs). Restoring powers to states unconstitutionally stolen by an increasingly

distant and powerful and incompetent dictatorial Washington D.C. (Washington must

be rolling in his grave for he had left us a Federalist Republic with an Amendment 10 in

the Bill of Rights). Gov unions will object. Who ever heard of (public) servants on

average making 25% more then those they serve!- and better benefits to boot! Another

first in American history: more people work in government then in the private sector.

This is bad for America: private sector workers produce, gov workers spend and spend

and spend. We borrow and borrow principally from China and the Federal Reserve Bank

orders Treasury Department to print more money (Federal Reserve Notes; Fed Reserve Bank Funny Money) but, you say, inflation is at a record low of .9 (under brand new system  inflation figure no longer includes rise in food and energy costs! - go back to old system      and stop trying to fool citizens/consumers; since Fed was created in 1913 the value of $ has

declined 85% in value and 20% since 1999 - - these are the real inflation numbers - - -

read them and weep! An A.D.D.-ing, we will go!

Proposal 15:

Student Loans, Water, and more commerce clause abuse.  In a recent power-grab, Obama took student loans away from banks - think Fannie and Freddie - and announced that  all water in and around the U.S., including, the puddle in front of your house belongs to fed   gov! Even intra-state water: rivers, streams, lakes, ponds that aren't shared by more then      one state will be regulated by overweight Uncle Sam. Americans put him on a diet!      Pregnant with power 'his' water is  about to break.

Proposal 16:

Just say "no!" to 'stimulus' packages. According to the Federal Reserve Bank branch in

San Fransisco the $500 BILLION-PLUS 'stimulus' created zero000zero new jobs!; Obama

claims that it created or saved 2 million jobs - according to Fed branch: the actual figure

was much less and were all temporary jobs that those who had them had waved 'goodbye'

to them.

Proposal 17:

Privacy vs. security. Union of Socialist Secular States of America. Citizen Reporter

doesn't fly; doesn't go outside. In exile in the former United States of America.

Nonetheless, is concerned about cyber-friends experiencing the unconstitutional, immoral,

unnecessary breach of privacy and rights. Being treated like a criminal without a search

warrant or probable cause which can be easily rectified by exercising some common

sense. Proposals: 1) Place SENTINEL which was at "Reagan International Airport" back

there and at other airports - it kind of sniffs: you walk through and feel puffs of air, a

vacuum device sucks in air with particles dislodged from head to shoes or socks before

particles hit the floor, it can determine if person was near a bomb or materials used to

make bombs; 2) Randomly use metal-detecting wand which guard runs 'all over your

body' at a distance of about half a foot, no contact; 3) Profile! Not babies and blue-haired

old ladies.  

Proposal 18:

America's Destiny. In  previous chain letters, we discussed NASA's role as the premier 

technological engine of our economy, the future of space exploration and the major role

our space program should play in what should be our effort to attain energy independence.

Project NERVA (see previous letters) involved NASA, Atomic Energy Commission, Los   Alamos Scientific Lab, AreoJet and Westinghouse from 1963-73. The facilities should be restored and upgraded. They've been neglected.

       The Space Nuclear Propulsion Office might have to be reactivated or not. It was

established so that NASA and AEC could work together in this classified program.

Last year, Obama signed a directive enabling NASA and the military to work more

closely together. We, unlike Obama, have been making proposals toward that end. He

might just need to sign another directive which he wouldn't be inclined to do, unless, we

order him. Of course, this raises the issue of the constitutionality of executive orders which

circumvent congress. Congress should reactivate.

     We suggested looking into feasibility of combining Orion/Ares 1 and Ares 5 with three

stages or two stages with two reusable liquid booster (not solid) rockets. The top stage

should be nuclear thermal or VASIMR plasma unlike the other stage (s) which would be

the traditional chemical. It should be used for "Constitution" (our name for what we

believe will soon be the operational AF X-37B). We propose ascertaining if we can do

something unorthodox: creating doughnut- or tire-shaped (long) stages for Orion-version

so that thermal nuclear or plasma stage (aka moon-transfer module and Mars-transfer    module) can surround (we build on our proposals with each letter) Orion or Orion-like

craft. Hydrogen or plasma would protect crew from solar wind and cosmic radiation

(actually not radiation but plasma). H or P would be surrounded by magnetic field (to

contain it) which would supply much greater protection like magnetic field protects us on earth from solar wind and cosmic rays.

     The plasma propulsion system definitely and the thermal nuclear, perhaps, can vary

exhaust velocity; this can help reduce propellant usage and improve acceleration at

different stages of flight  - - don't deviate too much exhaust velocity and

vehicle speed  for that would degrade not enhance performance. 

Proposal 19: 

Useless U.N. Exit U.N. and kick it out of U.S.! We pay 25% of its budget and the

majority of nations are enemies or semi-enemies. It passes useless resolutions which it

can't enforce because of pathetic peace-keepers without testicles. The humanitarian/

charitable programs are fraught with fraud. They still violate our laws claiming diplomatic

immunity. It serves no valuable function. We just learned that Obama has been giving

-bribing - nations to vote for climate change/cattle fart/lack of appropriate peer review/

questionable sources/hockey stick graph/george soros, al gore get richer/ global

warming pseudo-science plans. Carbon emissions? It is not settled science so China

and India not motivated to what? Undo what they have been working for since about

1980: moving from third-world status to developing nation to industrial nation by

instituting expensive emission filters. Carbon won't decline significantly without them.

Obama wants us to do it anyway so your energy bills can rise and companies won't be

able to create as many jobs us they can otherwise. Only libs favor useless U.N. - which

is another reason to kick it into the Atlantic!

Proposal 20:

U.S.-Russia Arms Treaty. Nixon SALT was good; Nixon-Ford-Carter Salt 2 was good;

Reagan START was better. We would have high-tech missile shield with tech benefiting

other aspects of economy as well if Nixon's ABM wasn't cancelled by dem-controlled

congress in '72 and Reagan's SDI not been considerably shrunk by clinton and other

dems. Rogue nations and terrorist orgs. Bush unilaterally dis away with ABM treaty

claiming it was signed by U.S. and Soviet Union and Soviet Union no longer exists!

He finally persuaded our friends, Poland and Czech Republic, who fearful of Russia, to

put part of shield in their countries during his last year in office and Obama undid

during his first year by caving to Russian pressure and  a vindictive Russia has,

nonetheless, promised to punish our two allies. It would place unacceptable constraints

on missile defense and replacing nuclear warheads on missiles with conventional ones

which Russia can't afford and doesn't possess the technical know-how. Giving away 

advantages U.S.

       Stop treating Russia as if it were still a super-power. Dictate terms of a treaty that

doesn't forgo our advantages necessary. Don't make our plans subject to a Russian

veto. One more thing: we can only inspect their declared sites for compliance!
