3. my idea

   OK this is away for the world to see us do something and do it now. My idea is easy they would like to redo the Sear tower ,change it up a little. They would love to have the olimpics in Chicago. They would like to make more jobs for the working man and woman. Well here you go, Lets take the tallest building in the USA and turn it solar. If we could get all of the lights in that building working off solar power think of the energy we save. we could show how the solar panels pay for them self. If that building was green think of the people and other country that would want to learn more or even just see it. We need to start some were. On a real scale this would be starting small but would give a huge boost in showing the world that America is ready to rise to its potental.

4. Move federal employees off of expensive MS Office

   Over 90% of federal employees using Microsoft Office could be equally productive using free equivalents such as OpenOffice.

   Mandating the usage of established open source technologies would save the federal government many tens of MILLIONS of dollars.

7. Learn from chip industry: Turn Big 3 Into Car Fabs

   The reason we have such a huge choice of low cost computers and all sorts of gizmos and gadgets, smart phones, and electronic toys is because of the amazing advances in chip designs. Hundreds of small chip design firms are producing incredibly advanced semiconductors that power a slew of innovative devices.

   But the reason we have so much innovation in the chip industry is because of a manufacturing revolution that began more than twenty years ago. In 1987, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) was founded as a new type of chip company--it was a semiconductor foundry--it made chips for other companies.

   This completely transformed the chip industry and ushered in an innovation explosion. Chip designers didn't have to build their own chip factories, they could buy production time from chip foundries. Previously, chip startups had to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, primarily to pay for chip production--yet their value was in the designs.

   Chip foundries led to a dramatic cut in the cost of establishing a chip company. Investment now went into chip design, not building a manufacturing line and learning how to run it.

   This simple manufacturing revolution is responsible for all the innovation in electronics. And that's a model that could be effectively applied in the automotive world, and unleash a wave of innovation.

   Manufacturing expertise . . .

   I support a bailout of the automakers for one key reason: manufacturing expertise. If they shut down then we lose many decades of manufacturing knowledge and processes--it would be hugely expensive to recreate.

   That manufacturing expertise can be used to build a Hummer, or it can be used to build hybrids, electric cars, and anything with wheels and an engine.

   There is a tremendous amount of innovation in transportation that could be unlocked if you didn't have to have build your own factory to make the vehicles.

   General Motors and the other car makers know how to re-tool lines to make all sorts of vehicles. They know what designs, and components work, and what doesn't; they have relationships with parts manufacturers, they have software design systems, test systems, air tunnels, algorithms...

   They also know how to get through the red tape of qualifying vehicles for US roads. There is a massive amount of knowledge and expertise within the Big 3 that could be applied to producing the greenest of green vehicles.

   My proposal is to use government monies to convert the Big 3 auto makers into car making foundries, in a similar fashion to chip-making foundries. That way, small startups with great ideas could quickly get their designs into production without requiring massive amounts of capital and learning how to build and operate a car factory.

   Tesla Motors . . .

   Take a look at Tesla Motors, one of the most innovative car companies of the past decade. The Tesla Roadster is an innovative all-electric sports car made with a carbon fiber body that has a range of 244 miles and does zero to sixty in less than 4 seconds. It received Time Magazine's 2nd best inventions of 2008.

   But you have to very rich to buy one of these $109,000 cars primarily because building a manufacturing line is so expensive. It also means that Tesla had to raise massive amounts of capital to fund the manufacturing lines. This means the innovative Tesla technology will take years to trickle down to mainstream models--yet that's where it's lower carbon-footprint would have the most value.

   Tesla ran into lots of delays because of manufacturing problems, and also problems with some of the components.

   What if Tesla contracted with GM to make its cars? GM would know how to quickly tool up a production run, it probably would be able to help out with some of the drive-train problems Tesla had. GM would know what things work and how to avoid many problems that Tesla had to learn the hard way..

   It is this kind of manufacturing expertise that could be leverage across a new industry. Small startups with great designs and technologies could quickly come to market without having to build their own production lines.

   Car foundries could set off a huge wave of innovation at precisely the right time when we are searching for more responsible and sustainable forms of transport. And the US could grab a leadership position with such a plan.

   Let's turn the Big 3 auto makers into foundries that can create a platform for a new type of innovative auto industry.

8. ECONOMIC STIMULATION PLAN (Paid for by Illegal Immigrants)

   ECONOMIC STIMULATION PLAN
   (Paid for by Illegal Immigrants)
   It is estimated in the U.S. immigration report that between 12 and 20 million illegal immigrants are living within the confines of the United States borders. It is not argued by many Americans that these illegal immigrants are working jobs here in the United States. This means that there is an enormous amount of tax revenue that has not been taken in from these people. My plan does four things simultaneously: it collects this past revenue, it works to offer citizenship, it creates many jobs for current U.S. citizens, and most importantly it is set up in a fashion that does offend people who are already U.S. citizens.
   I know that there are many Americans that want to deport these illegal immigrants, but my plan allows for them to become full citizens by following a strict set of guidelines. The plan will allow them to buy their way to citizenship by paying extra taxes. This will help our struggling economy by creating thousands of jobs (which I will explain shortly). Using these Illegal Immigrants to create jobs for Americans, and to pay for those jobs, will help hateful people have a little more respect for them. It will also put an end to the idea that the illegal immigrants take away good Americans jobs. Under my plan these people will be creating good American jobs.
   My plan also helps to narrow the amount of illegal immigrants inside of our borders so that when INS or the Department of Homeland Security are trying to find the people that are threats to our way of life, they have fewer people to sift through.
   My plan is an offering of temporary citizenship to the illegal immigrants that can somehow prove that they have been here more than one year. These people will be required to do one of the following: 1. Pay double taxes for seven out of ten years, or 2. Pay triple taxes for three out of 5 years. They will also be required to give their fingerprints to the FBI database, enroll in English language courses, and citizenship courses. They have to do all of this in order to prove that they are serious about attempting to learn our language (if they are not already fluent) and prove that they honestly respect American citizenship. Once they have completed all of these requirements they will have a review hearing to establish full citizenship. If the illegal immigrant complains however, the offer will be withdrawn and they will be deported. This is a success oriented program though, so there will be nets to catch the people who struggle to pay triple taxes if that is the choice they select, but they will finish our program if they want to stay.
   Even though starting this program will require an initial investment on the part of the United States government, the taxes generated will be put into a separate tax system which pays the government back and pays for the many jobs this new program creates. These jobs will be created under a new heading or department in the national government for now I am calling it the “New System”. There will be three groups of jobs created by this system: one will be jobs created in order to follow up with all of the illegal immigrants on a regular basis until they complete the program, the second group of jobs will be for teaching these people English, and the third group will be for teaching each of them about U.S. citizenship. Again I will state that there are between 12,000,000 and 20,000,000 people in this country illegally. If you average that at 16,000,000, then take away a third who are probably children (who don’t work) you get 10,666,666, and then take that times the amount of additional money put into the “New System” by the illegal immigrants newly collected tax dollars (which I will blindly estimate at 3,000 per person without regard to whether they choose the 3 year or seven year plan): 10,666,666 X $3,000 = $31,999,998,000 this is an estimate of the additional money that will be collected annually and used to pay for these transitional jobs. At an average of $40,000 per year this system will create nearly 800,000 jobs. Each one of those positions will pay an estimated average of $5,500 taxes per year. This means that nearly $4,400,000,000 in federal taxes will be paid annually from the “New System” and the jobs it creates.

12. promotes policies of creating high tech jobs in USA

    Like electronic medical records, e-energy systems and competrizing all branches of govt. I would strongly recommend against Mrs Warrior. I have worked with Motorola when she was there and her lack of integrity and lies in claiming credit for many things is appalling. Obama - you dont want this person. For eg she said she oversaw the 3.4B R&D budget with 24000 engrs. That's a lie. SHe only oversaw corp R&D and SW (4000 people). the actual products come out of engineers who are part of the diff businesses. She is a good spin master but no substance. PLEASE AVOID HER.

16. Ensure government technology projects use open standards.

    Vendor lock-in is a problem that costs companies and public institutions a great deal of money and manpower. this cost may not be apparent initially but when a technology solution does not involve open standards it not only means that the whole process relies on a single company or its products. This situation turns any process involving that product into a black box that cannot be opened or re-configured (legally) if needed by anyone other that the company or individual that created it. Open standards still allow companies to create products using the open standards and charge money for their products and services but they also allow the users of the products to be able to utilize what they purchase to the fullest and still make use of the product if the company dissolves (read the papers if you don't think that will happen). Private sector companies may not want to jump on the open standards bandwagon maybe due to deals with software vendor for sponsorship, license royalties, etc., however, our government and the reaffirmation of willingness to be transparent should at least start be using open standards that ensure interoperability between technology solutions.

17. Immediate JOBS for Most Americans

    I believe to get the economy going right away is to start an agressive urban repair program now. Simply put it means that before any rebuilding is started the first thing that is needed is to remove all garbage etc from the targareted areas. This process alone can employ thousands of people all across the country and get money into small businesses immediately. Starting at ground level as opposed to all the grand projects I firmly believe will have a immediate impact on starting up the economy.

18. End the occupation of the Confederate States of America

    For almost 150 years the Confederate States of America has been under occupation of the imperialist United States of America. Now as the United States grows more corrupt, imperial, and anti-Christian, it is more important than ever the South become independent. The Confederate States was founded on strong Christian morals(slavery was not the cause of the Civil War, Northern Aggression/Imperialism was). From an early age children are brainwashed into thinking all Southerners were immoral slave owners. The federalist Yankees have even tried to take our flag off of the South Carolina capitol building. The Patriot has taken away liberties guranteed to us in the Constitution, and the right to bear arms will go next. The government supports the massive mudering of baby children. Greed of the big corporations caused the economic collapse and movement of jobs over seas. Illegal immigrants stream over the border, causing an increased tax burden for southerners.

    If these flaws in the United States could be fixed, I would be proud once more to call myself a citizen of the United States. But until they are, I will keep my Confederate flag a flyin' and live or die for Dixie.

20. "'bail-in' instead of a bailout"

    The Portland (OR) Oregonian carried an excellent editorial on Dec. 29, '08, "A 'bail-in' instead of a bailout," suggesting that the Detroit Big 3 accept our tax bailout on condition they switch to creating "nationwide urban networks of streetcars, light rail and other public transit systems." This would bring us back to the excellent public transit we used to have before cars proliferated. <www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2008/12/a_bailin_instead_of_a_bailout.html>
