So some people have asked, "DFW my boy, if you are running for re-election then why?" Well here's my list of accomplishments, obviously I haven't accomplished everything I set out to do in the first term, but only like one US President has ever done that and he ended up running again (and losing), so here's what I've done so far for your enjoyment and do keep in mind and I know this is a shock given our US government, but being President is mostly about Congress
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5557571#msg5557571 Signed the Come out of the Shadows Act which granted amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants while also strengthening border security to ensure that the rate of illegal immigration massively falls.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5561572#msg5561572 Implemented the Mexico City Policy. Some of you will hate this, some of you will love it, meh. I did it because I felt that A. helping to fund abortion organizations would degrade relations with some of our partners int he Middle East and B. we all want to decrease foreign aid.....so?
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5567938#msg5567938 Signed the Federal Penitentiary Reform Act of 2017, this helps with out criminal justice system and ends the practice of private prisons to jail prisoners.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5574411#msg5574411 Signed the Gas Tax Act of 2016, I really thought about this one for a long time as I do not like raising taxes at all, but I did sign it into law because part of my campaign promises were to help slowly transition towards renewable energy for a cleaner future, which was the core part of this bill.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5579912#msg5579912 Implemented Executive Order 9, which gave felons the right to vote and run for office. This is one of my proudest accomplishments, there is no reason felons should have their voting rights stricken permanently, thus I felt the need to implement this.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5617197#msg5617197Moved cocaine related drugs to lowest prosecutable level, working with Senators to officially decriminalize this and other less harmful drugs as well for rehab purposes.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5632924#msg5632924 Signed Freedom to Drink act, lowering potential drinking age to 18 federally, with adjustments possible on a regional level.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5669025#msg5669025 Signed End the NSA Spying Act, which ended most NSA data collection although still allows for important terror monitoring.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5670506#msg5670506 Signed No More going hungry into Atlasia Act, which allows for for excess food to be donated to food banks and for school lunches not to be thrown away if they cannot be afforded, pretty common sense.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=260024.msg5696125#msg5696125 Abolished the Tipped Minimum Wage, which had restricted the financial situation of countless families and workers, should help boost the paychecks of many in the food industry. (Bill created and introduced by me)
The preceding bills were some highlights of what I have done so far, there a few more bills that I did not mention and you can read them in this thread:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?board=17.0 Here are some pending bills and a couple of ideas that I proposed, but Sad!ly failed:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=264226.0 The Storm Surge, Coastal Flooding, and Tsunami Prevention Act of 2017, this is a staple item for me as an avid weather watcher. This bill would allow for major repairs and rebuilding of our infrastructure to prevent storm surge and tsunami flooding along all of our major coastlines and rivers (in possible damage zones) and would save us billions, if not trillions of dollars down the road.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=264694.msg5659242#msg5659242 The Constitutional Amendment, this was proposed by Senator Scott and I as a common sense measure that would not allow any citizen (including myself of course!) to run for more than 2 consecutive terms, although it does allow for any President to run again at a later time if their is a need for them or want to do so.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=261014.0 This one is a failed compromise bill that I introduced but withdrew due to lack of support. It would've made the rural minimum wage in the country 10$, the suburban wage 12$, and the urban wage 14$, this would've been a rise from some, stable for others. It would also ensure that the wage was not too high in rural areas.
Here are some things we are working on:
A BUDGET, this is something we seriously need but nobody has had time for, Sad! That being said this is being worked on and I promise it will be passed through if re-elected long before the end of my second term.
HEALTHCARE, yes yes I know "who knew healthcare could be so complicated", Speaker Yankee, Senator Scott, PPT PiT, and I have been working on this as they could all confirm.
INFRASTRUCTURE and JOBS, these go on and on we will rebuild the highway system and help the proposed high speed rail system between regions with federal funding. Along with job programs and infrastructure projects in Appalachia and other poor areas of Atlasia, along with ensuring water failures like the ones in Flint do not occur again.
FOREIGN POLICY - this is something we are working on and have of course been working on. I was the first President to visit Iran since their Theocratic revolution , in the name of diplomacy. I am actively working on a crisis in North Korea (mostly staying out of it to avoid escalation but keeping communication with China, South Korea, and Japan and preparing for a counter-attack if North Korea does attack us or our allies.) My Non-Interventionist tenet will continue if re-elected, as promised.
There is much more to come and I hope I can count on your vote for re-election!
