LAD 28

I believe that this country will pull through this dark time, as it always has done in the past. Our country is facing many problems, including lack of markets for goods, increasing taxes, and falling wages. There is also significant unemployment. Yet, these problems are not insurmountable. There are mainly the fault of the leaders and rulers stubbornness and incompetence. The money changers are only concerned with themselves and have no vision. Money should not be given out, but earned. Material wealth should not be the measure of success. The nation wants immediate action. We must get people working and the government can help. We must help farmers by raising cost of agricultural products. There must be a sound currency, there should be oversight of banking and credit, and there should be no speculation with other people’s money. I shall send this proposal to Congress. The emergency at home must be solved before we look abroad. Only by working together can we solve our problems. I am willing to do my best to help the country, but I will not abuse my Constitutional powers and hope that the balance between the branches will be kept. If Congress will not act, I will ask for special war powers to fight this emergency. The people have elected me because they want action and leadership. I hope God helps me fulfill these expectations.
