1) Repeal the Truman act and the Monroe doctrine
2) End the more than one thousand military bases stationed around the world.
3) Create a constitutional amendment that says we can not station our troops in a country we have not declared war against and we can not engage in war unless america is under imminent treat of invasion
4) End the military industrial complex. That means companies like Lockheed martin are shut down and the manufacturing of arms come under the jurisdiction of the government only
5) Bring the budget of our military down to no more than 200 billion
6) ban all sales of arms to foreign countries
7) Attempt to push a law in the united nations that would ban weapons of mass destruction from all countries
1) Repeal the Monroe Doctrine? Its not a law.
2) Agree in part, but some strategic areas need our "loving attention".
3) With today's threat, this is not smart, but I do think we need to control the ability of a President to engage in hostile action.
4) This has got to be the most naive ideas. The ONLY reason we do not have others controlling us is because we have the most technologically advanced military in the world. ALSO- If the government is the only one to manufacture arms, then the government will have the means to maintain control over the people. Unarmed people are slaves to government.
5) You really like your freedom to assemble and free speech? try it when China calls their debt.
6) Hmm... I almost agree with this.
7) The UN has no real jurisdiction. This explains why Iran sits on the human rights committee. Even if it did, the UN has no means to enforce any "laws".
You'd do well to go to school and take Govt 101.
