After massive emailing with critical thinkers across the United States, we’ve come up with our Christmas list for the 2020 Presidential campaign. Perhaps someone will steal these ideas. If so, we should be better off as a country if some get implemented.
At a minimum, the platform for a 2020 campaign would test our sense of humor and see if we can still laugh at ourselves. That alone would be a step forward.
Our Presidential Platform 2020 project team had many more ideas. Some funny, some in fact very serious, like tackling overpopulation and potable water worldwide, but those are probably outside the scope of our ability to wrap our hands around a solution.
So we leave you with our 15 planks above. Digest them. Have a laugh. Some will even come to fruition in the lifetime of someone under the age of 70.
Merry Christmas. Good thoughts for the new year. Stay active mentally and physically. Remember to laugh.
