To Both Candidates:
Edited on Thu Feb-14-08 11:55 PM by NoBushSpokenHere
1. Please vow to contest 2008 general election if you lose in November
2. Please do not get nasty with each other in the remaining primaries
3. Please push for action for election reform to rid our country of electronic voting and tabulation
4. Please come out in support of one another after the Democratic Nomination
5. Please remember the faces behind the people who vote for you - work to solve the problems of the country.
6. Please get our troops home and use diplomacy in any additional world events.
7. Please change the system so our country is not ran by corporations.
8. Please control big oil companies and stop them from raping our country.
9. Please utilize footage of all of McCain's support of W
10. Please drop out of the race prior to the Democratic nomination if there is anything in your background that could hurt your chances of becoming President.
11. Please push for alternative fuel sources independent of big oil.
12. Please answer issues Republicans will make firmly, quickly and sternly such as: gun rights, gay rights, environmental concerns, family values, etc.
13. Please remind the voters there are more pressing issues to deal with other than getting bogged down with issues that do not belong in a campaign.
14. Please choose a VP candidate that is not a republican disguised as a Democrat.
15. Please find ways to do what you have been saying you can do once elected.
16. Please try to keep phone banking to a minimum as people are fed up with phone calls.
17. Please provide our country with health care.
18. Please fix the failed economy and bring jobs back to the US.

Above all......don't dare let us down again! Our country and the world depends upon you to be true to your word! If I donate money to either of you and you do not contest a questionable election result, I want my money back AND a VALID explanation as to WHY you didn't contest!

on edit: spelling

3. To prove you are not part of the elite few who behind
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 12:28 AM by mac2
closed doors decide our fate, resign the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, etc. during, after, and forever. These groups strive for World Government which violates our Constitution. It also negates all the other modern democracy citizen wishes in the world.

You "made good" with the faith of the American people. It is an honor to represent your country not profit off it. Your success was because of the American contract to allow you to prosper and do well. Do not ruin it for others by destroying what democracy can bring the world. These few elite don't care about America. They seem to be out to rape our resources and destroy all that is good about our country. Our treasury is empty and our future bleak for your children.

If you become President declare them illegal and treasonous. We should not use American tax payers to protect or shield them from obvious abuse of power. They are not elected to do anything in our interest. Arrest David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger for representing us without our permission or discussion (it is illegal as a private citizen to do so). They want world power at our expense. They are modern day Robber Barons.

Remember peace and prosperity. These few elite wish to rule by manipulation and wars. It is a bad path for all concerned.

4. I like them all except for #1

Making a pledge to contest an election without knowing the results or grounds for contention erodes credibility and lends credence to those who would claim that we are just sore losers.

6. Sorry, not good enough.
You need to have a particular thing that you suspect has wrong before you contest an election.

Your idea is like launching a pre-emptive complaint about bad food before sitting down to the dinner table

7. Okay my apologies BUT
I will support a candidate that pledges to ensure all votes are counted properly and pledges NOT to concede until they are sure the task has been completed. That is why I supported John Edwards and is part of the reason I remain undecided today. I know how blue Ohio was in 2004. The fraud was obvious to the majority of people in Ohio - it is a shame Kerry did not contest the results. I will NOT support a candidate again that will not make a pledge on this topic.
