Signing the petition requires a moment that can make the difference. No real personal information is asked for, and you do not loose your current party membership. As of yet, we are not asking for donations, but if willing, do ask you to learn and Share the Message about the New Deal. Why it Makes Sense: The 5 principles are the foundation of what the New Deal is based on. They also can efficiently and effectively empower the framework of the United States Constitution and The Bill of Rights for managing the United States of America while providing the gravity needed to unite peoples of different political parties and faiths.
The principles are applied into solutions like in the New Deal for many of the problems and challenges that we are faced with today. Some would consider the solutions idealistic, but they are pragamatic strategies that will yield expected results, and are as realistic as expecting government accountability and an cconomic horizon for our country. Through pragmatism and vision we can solve many challanges that include Making the Government work for us while cutting up to 65% of its administrative cost, A Real Health Care Plan, The True Regard for our Vets, Fixing our Environment , the Education program that works Economic Solvency through Balanced Trade, and an Investment Based Economy for the 21st Century; The economic road map for the Middle East; The exit strategy for Iraq that provides peace with dignity; an Economic Alternative to nuclear escalation; a viable solution for the AIDS crisis; a better deal for Holocaust victims and the Swiss banks; productive foreign aid, and other areas of key strategic focus. The Pragmatic Principles for our Nation: Transparency and Accountability: The Balanced Party views that Power is something we can only manage, it is not something that in of itself can be controlled.
It is the over all leadership in government that must steward accountability in order to steward the accountability, and therefore the leadership in others of any representation and/or following. To establish a transparent and accountable administration that works with both the House and the Senate, then the House and Senate are obliged to do the same. Hence efficiency and cost effective government can be achieved where policy and legislative action can take on measurable significance for the benefit of the people. By improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the different bodies of government in working together sets the standards in how departments in government bodies are to operate, work together and communicate cost effectively in getting the peoples work done. This in turn sets standards for our economy in the businesses that make up the producers, and in the people who are the consumers. The country is its people, and the people is the country. Our country is made up of many walks of life, being the origins of immigrants from all over the globe. Consequently, we the people are all races and the colors creeds, religions, beliefs, thoughts and points of views and opinions of them. The representatives of the people in Government are the same as its people. The people are the underpinnings of the United States of America, and not its government. United we stand, divided we fall intends a democracy that derives a united position based on the unified direction or representation of the people of this country. Divided we fall consequently means that if our system is broken, in its disunity, we as Americans have allowed our elected representatives to put our country at compromise; and further have not set examples and standards for expectations of its people. Being unified, America is strong, but divided, our country becomes weak. Unity is similar to a team, where all the people from all walks of life in this country make up that team. Dogmatism, Facisim, or any 'Isms', or encouraging the 'Will' of the most powerful onto the many can only polarize us into groups. This polarization ultimately can break our system of productive representation in our country as this in of itself can steward the roots of tyranny and terror.
Democracy and its representation is key to achieving this strength through unity. The Balanced Party is founded on the belief that representation, whether Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Nadar like, Independent, Red, Blue, or otherwise from groups that make up views and represent the needs of the people all have common ground in the Balanced Party. The Dignity of Human Rights: The Bill of Rights is intended for every American. It is viewed to serve as the foundation for the recognition of basic human rights. The expression for the need for regarding Human Rights in the United States of America also has in its history, the Freedom from Slavery, and Civil Rights. The need for Human Rights has further evolved into fundamental Labor Laws, and in our society today, the need for Consumer Protection. As this need continues to evolve, in parallel, there is a perpetual attempt to whittle away at the aspects of Human Rights in one form or another. Simple examples of this are 'Binding Arbitration Agreements' that you unwittingly have to accept as an after the fact item from your employers, and creditors, Patriot Acts that shoe horn exceptions to your basic Bill of Rights, or by other 'New and Improved' non-debatable legislation that is supposedly intended to be on behalf to the Amercian Citizen. For the Balanced Party, The Human Rights message is 'Live and Let Live' where it is not at the cost of others same Rights. Our Individual Rights as American's come with the inherent responsibility of these rights; and in the respect of fellow American's rights regardless if it is having to do with the 'Right to Dissent', the 'Right of Expression', or to the 'Right of be safe from exploitation'. For the Balanced Party, this is the basic dignity that we are to respect others with, and in turn should expect for ourselves. The Balanced Party views that to respect our individual Rights intends all individuals, where our founding fathers had the wisdom for the need of these Rights at no compromise by late hour midnight amendments by any political party in the houses of congress. Likewise, a Declaration of Rights, and related Laws should not be something that can be signed away, or lost, nor compromised by any legal agreement. The maintenance and respect for individual rights as Americans must be achieved through competent representation in the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary branches of Federal and State Government. This is to be with respect to the Bill of Rights, and the Rights and Laws that have evolved since in its spirit. As government representatives, and for every American Citizen, to have our Rights and personal views respected, we must respect the Rights and views of others, or in effect, cannot really say that we should expect others to respect our Rights and personal views. The respect of views and opinions is the basic core of our Democracy; That is, unless we are willing to accept Democratic Imperialism for common value systems and underlying agendas that are dictated by those that we have elected in good faith to represent us. In True Democracy, given that one's values possess no mal-intent toward, or the exploitation of others, one's values should be respected. Moral values as an example cannot be owned by one political following over another or defined by some Majority over some Minority's views; but are viewed by the Balanced Party's Platform as the expression of 'The basic maintenance of Human Rights' over all.
Hence, moral values of one should not be the basis of coercion in influencing others sense of Moral values; or for the use of compliance of one by another's interest. Further that these values being unique within each of us are one's own and are considered separate from legislated Laws and do not dictate law; but enable and require law to protect them for all US Citizens. Balanced Trade: ( Etc) Trade can be balanced or imbalanced. Trade regulated by volume, and not by price, enables Trade to become economically balanced. Artificial trade tariffs, which is the most we have been able to do is like trying to plug a dike. Tax incentives for not out sourcing is also a long shot when considering that such incentives are overshadowed by manipulating the cost of offshore labor to make up the differnces. The Volume of imports is not regulated, and when putting a higher price on foreign TV's ( as a example ) that are dumped on our shores, just means more compromise of foreign workers rights in order to realize the same profit for the foreign manufacturer. By limiting import volume into the United States, the price of the import would increase due to level of availability and in order to obtain a reasonable profit margin. This is simple supply and demand mechanics. This in turn would additionally dampen volume; provide less incentive for moving manufacturing operations off shore; while not having to be compromised in back room negotiations on import price with foreign governments based on our debt obligations to them. When volume is the gating factor, then the volume that is normally coming through our ports would have to go elsewhere to be sold. If China cannot sell excessive volume to the US, as a simple example, China will have to eventually sell to China. This in turn would require their standards of wage to increase in order to afford their own TV's and other finished goods. By losing the offshore incentive, US manufacturers would not need a domestic tax Incentive, while also not needing to lose their workers. The same principles of Trade Volume in Manufacturing and textiles, can be applied to agriculture, as well as the outsourcing of technology labor. Economic Solvency:( Etc) Over the past years since 2001 the term 'Economic Cycle' has been basically omitted when addressing the economy. The cycle consists of a debt stage and then an equity stage which typically occurs ina 12 month period. Since 2001, the United States has been in deficit spending, where debt ceilings have become fatigued. The United States has been borrowing and only borrowing to afford its spending, and has not made investments in this country in terms of infrastructure or other areas of related economy. From year 2000 to Year 2001, the Country has gone from a projected Surplus of $5 Trillion to a deficit of over $5 Trillion. Gross Federal Debt is projected to climb from the $5.8 trillion in 2001 to $14.9 trillion in 2014. This is estimated to reach into $46,660 in debt for each American citizen by 2014. The perception of a 'Good Economy' has been for a chosen few, where profits have been predominately in the Defense Industry, closed door Energy Policy Manipulations, in Pharmaceuticals and in preditory consumer lending practices such as in unregulated credit card profits. The Fuzzy Math of George Bush in claiming that the deficit is coming down as usual is not credible. The only way it can make that claim is by comparing its new $445 billion deficit projection to its $521 billion projection released in February 2004. The $521 billion deficit projection then was never realistic and was clearly inflated ( Fuzzy Math ) so that Bush could claim as usual an improvement later in the year, even when there is none. The Debt of the United States in lacking a horizon is owned by foreign interest, which subjects our level of Economic Security to their agendas. Increased taxation of average wages does nothing but recreate the equivalent of the Rice Famine of Mao's China. Further compromising wages, and increasing ongoing unemployment, regardless if it is not statistically recognized as the 'Unemployment Number', further disenfranchises the citizens of the United States. When hearing on the Senate Floor, that Deficits don't Matter can only encourage the bodies of government, and the people to only focus on the 'Here and Now'. This further compounds the insolvency that this country, and therefore its people will be side winded by, till eventually, it will not be a trickle down impact on those who become disenfranchised, but compromise this country, its Solvency, and in turn its national security. A Super Power in today's world is not a Super power if it becomes a 3rd world economy with foreign owners of our debt. Our Nation must be an Economic Super Power in the 21st century in order to be viewed in today's world as a sustained Super Power. As much as Economic Insolvency ultimately stewards a 3rd world standard for living, the Homeless of our nation normally do not vote. In putting our Nation back to work, empowers our nation to be the democracy that our founding fathers intended. By having a more local productive Economy, we can in turn more readily address our foreign debt which enhances our level of National Economic Security over all. It is in this productivity where the United States can Anchor itself against the forces that are encouraging it to become insolvent. It is in the opportunity of productivity that this country can supply itself, feed itself, provide employment, improve infrastructure for the standards of living that are inherent in a Solvent Economy. As we regain the value of our dollar, also provides further incentives to invest in the US for the US Manufacturer. With more money in the Treasury, infrastructure investments also can be enabled which will lower the cost for the transportation of goods. By Balancing Trade, Transparency and Accountability in Management, and the true regard of the people enables the United States to embrace Economic Solvency in times where the basic foundation of this country is being washed out from under us. Economic Solvency enables the 'Economic Cycle' , where investments in our tomorrow can be made. Energy Alternatives and New Technologies can be more economically realized with a stable dollar. New Technologies can further steward more competitive Balanced Trade, as well as enhance our positions in Foreign Policy. This in turn can effect the economies of the world while enabling 3rd World nations to become ecomonically stable nations. Conduct Workable Foreign Policy: Inspire Unity and Peace and the dignity for all through out the World: War is an extremely profitable item for the few at the cost of the many. Technology Investments into weapons enables jobs; but again for the few, at the cost of the many who cannot benefit from the technology. Insolvent Nations are typically more oriented towards War than solvent nations. By being a Solvent Nation, enables the United States to shape its Foreign Policy where technology can be used for building foreign economies when accountability, human rights, balanced trade, and economic solvency are the standards of structure behind the Foreign Policy, and set as the requirement for compliance by foreign nations in order to benefit from the Guidance and Foreign Aid provided by the United States. I plan to make http://Unity2008.org and its content well known and received by the American people; and ask for your interest in this. Sincerely Yours, 
Orion Karl Daley Balanced Party Presidential Candidate for 2008 |
