A Good Vice Presidential Candidate Should be Expected…

…to
bring a new hope for the Nation and for the World that extends beyond
the Presidency of the primary candidate and the borders of the nation…
…to provide a vision that compliments and extends the vision of the standing President…
…to bring
an inspired talent that can assist the nation and the world to make the
transition between the old and the new way of conducting business at
home and around the world…
…to bring honesty and integrity again to the Office of the Vice Presidency…
…to introduce ‘brave new steps’ to prepare the nation and the world for the days ahead...
…expecting and understanding that the future cannot be expected to get easier, but to get worse...
…and having the conviction that unless the days of that suffering be lessened, no human being will be left unaffected on earth.
...to understand that the times ahead are going to get really hard for everyone.
A Good Vice President
should be prepared to assist the President on many levels, even if
his/her council is used only to provide momentary inspiration or
insight into certain matters.
The Vice President's political stance with
regards to the responsibility of his office should be ‘preemptive’ and
heavily focused on disaster relief and preparedness of the Nation
against catastrophic events.
A Vice President,
as well as sitting the Senate, should have a cabinet or council of his
own personal advisors that are in his trust, separate from the Office
of the President. This would be the Vice President’s ‘Inner Circle’,
ready to take charge in event anything happened to the Office of the
President and the President’s cabinet.
A NEW (limited) UN PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES
A vision of a Vice President who is willing to work with and help re-engineer the purpose and structure of the United Nations…
In the future,
it is recommended to have a smaller contingent of the UN based in New
York City (NYC), which would also help the Nation secure its borders.
Also,
the formation of new ‘UN Congresses’ set up overseas in various parts
of the world within the regions they serve. These would help to
‘democratize’ the world, according to the values and cultures served
within those regions. They would also assist the world toward self
rule, self sufficiency, self-determination and autonomy…yet, all bonded
together in a global fashion by a common UN Charter.
Also envisioned
is a new UN Charter drawn up and reengineered to accommodate the
formation of the new regional Congresses with the sole purpose of
accommodating the differences amongst the societies, cultures,
religions and peoples of the world through guided reason, inspired by
the basic universal need and quest for peace and prosperity for all and
by all and in favor of all, administered without partiality or
discrimination of any kind based on race, color, creed, national
origin, or upon the political or economic status of a few individuals.
The Congresses would
continue to exist as the primary forum to settle international
differences as the UN Assembly does today, and to make and keep the
peace. I also envision the international court at the Hague moved to
the UN with regional courts set up and established inside each of the
UN regional congresses around the world, with justice for ‘crimes against humanity’, administered ‘locally’.
What eventually
should be the goal for the UN in NYC is a greatly reduced presence; to
a mere ‘Global Security Council’ made up of Security Council delegates
from the various UN Congresses around the world.
The Secretary General’s Office would become a ‘roving office’, which would better keep the Secretary General on the ground and in touch with the world.
Each Congress
would be expected to maintain and fund its own UN Security Force and be
first to respond to its own problems, borrowing and being assisted from
other regional Congresses, as needed.
WATER
With global warming will come a rise of water in the sea. This will cause flooding in certain areas of the world.
New technologies need
to be advanced worldwide to extract potable water from the oceans like
the Arabs are currently doing. This would help to offset one of the
negative effects of global warming: flooding.
In particular,
there will be a future shortage of fresh water in North America. It is
recommended that the Office of the Vice President be put in charge of a
project to build a pipeline from Alaska and the Northwest Territories
to the ‘Lower 48’ to deliver water from the Arctic to distribute to the
States and Provinces that will need it.
ALTERNATE ENERGY AND FUELS
Also recommended
is that the Office of the Vice President be put in charge of alternate
energy and fuel development, as well as be responsible for the task of
building and promoting infrastructure and training facilities for the
personnel needed to construct, manage and maintain those new
technologies and infrastructures…
…To put this on a political fast track to eliminate as-soon-as-possible, America’s dependence on foreign fuel…
…To initiate an overt effort to build a gas pipeline from Alaska, through Canada, to the Lower ‘48’.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Department of Public Health and Human Services and the Department of Interior (the BIA)…
…To be placed directly under the Office of the Vice President, to be included in his cabinet.
