Laddie D. Oliver

To the editor:
The president that we elect in November 2016 must be ready to face hardship and support these platforms without fail:
Constitution: Oath of office, balanced budget, spending, taxes, possible term limits, enforce laws, retention of military forces and/or other items listed in Section 8, 1st Article.
Security: Close borders of the nation and of each state against all illegal invasion regardless of reason.
Citizenship: Immigration only by application at embassies and/or consulates, background documents, final approval and legal entry.
First Amendment: Protect the rights of each sovereign state to control health care, education, transportation, energy and/or other actions retained for the state and for the people.
Social: Life begins at conception, marriage of one male with one female, supporting the nation founded under Catholic, Protestant and Judeo non-violent, peaceful religions. Supporting U.S. Congressional resolutions that warmonger evil cults will not be protected by the First Amendment.
Service: Will serve as United States representative in foreign affairs, trade and aid with the consent of the Senate. To fail in just one of these several requirement will place the United States of America in danger. The Constitution framed by the early 13 states as the supreme law of the land is our lifeblood and regardless of political party must be followed as written for our nation to again be prosperous with freedom and liberty for all.
