	C.
The Republic will undoubtedly fail unless these Twenty Items are realized in Three Stages:
     1. – American Reawakening (Small, practical first steps toward a better nation)
i.		Dual-citizens, of any kind, are banned from serving an elected role.
				This is to ensure that elected representatives have solely American interests at heart.
ii.		All torture-prison facilities (such as Abu Garib and Guantanamo Bay) are dismantled and domestic prisons systems are radically
    	altered to reform the inmate.
				The former unconstitutional facilities are a moral stain on our national character, and the latter institution is both
				a form of slavery and a complete failure at rehabilitation.
iii.	Regulate higher-education tuition fees to serve the students and heavily favor U.S. citizens over foreign students.
				The monopolistic stranglehold that universities have over higher-education encourages massive debt accumulation rather
				aiding citizens.
iv.		Regulate pharmaceutical corporations to serve citizens’ health needs.
				The monopolistic stranglehold that ‘big-pharma’ has over life-saving medicines is wholly detrimental to citizens in
				dire need of them.
     2. – American Reformation (Large-scale, more ideal fixes, but still completely possible)
v.		Elected representatives are Constitutionally-bound to term-limits.
				This is to ensure that ‘career-politicians’ and the ‘constant campaign’ cease to exist.
vi.		Reinstate the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC).
				This gives an opportunity for new or struggling citizens to help rebuild the nation’s infrastructure and clean up waste
				in public spaces, and fosters national cohesion as those involved in the Corp can see the country, be instilled with
				its values, and receive discipline apart from military service.
vii.	All illegal aliens and illegally residing individuals are deported to their country-of-origin.
				This is to ensure a workforce of American citizens and remove an unneeded drain on American time and energy to people
				who do not respect our laws.
viii.	Immigration, of any kind, is dramatically curtailed.
				This is to ensure that demographical changes occur internally, not from external influences.
ix.		All military forces in the Middle-East are brought home.
				There is no current reason to be militarily involved in the Middle-East and our continued presence there is counter-
				productive to tax-paying citizens, to the nations we station ourselves in, and to the soldiers involved.
x.		‘Intelligence Agencies’ are severely overseen and restricted from domestic surveillance and interloping in foreign affairs.
				Their perpetual self-serving policies and foreign adventures have consistently proved detrimental to the interest of
				American citizens.
xi.		All ‘Foreign Aid’ is substantially diminished.
				This is to put American taxes to American use and to prevent foreign entanglement.
xii.	Significantly reduce the amount of public funding that goes into all domestic ‘welfare programs’ and heavily regulate their
		use.
				This is to ensure that tax-dollars serve the citizenry rather than the citizens serving free-riders.
xiii.	Corporations are no longer considered persons and are regulated differently.
				Current definitions are ill-suited to have corporations be a useful piece of America and very often the legal
				terminology of their ‘personhood’ negatively impacts citizens.
xiv.	End federally-mandated ‘Standardized Testing’, leaving the states to determine education.
				This is to stop failed educational policies and to erode federal imposition.
xv.		All drugs are federally decriminalized, leaving the states to determine their legality.
				This is to end the failed prohibition on drugs and erode federal imposition.
     3. American Rebirth (Short of a ‘temporary autocrat’, these measures would require extreme force of will by the citizenry to
	    accomplish, but would usher in a bright, whole era for the Republic)
xvi.	Completely abolish the ‘Income Tax’ and ‘Social Security’.
				Without consent, the federal government redistributes a portion of the income you earn for a failed ‘retirement
				program’ – the financial destiny of every citizen should be in their own hands and government revenue should be
				supplied through other avenues. The people are already taxed enough.
xvii.	Dismantle the ‘Federal Reserve’ central banking system.
				The unelected bureaucrats of the unconstitutional institution have far too much control over America’s economy and
				consistently encourage deficit spending.
xviii.	Erase all current monetary debt individuals owe and establish a new financial ‘Year One’ 	for the entire nation.
				This is to clearly and unequivocally state that past mistakes are past and we will not allow banks to solely determine
				America’s financial future.
xix.	The ‘State Militia System’, as prescribed in the Constitution, is prioritized over the National Military, which is decreased
		substantially.
				This is to encourage community-cohesion and transform the United States from an offensive power into a defensive one
				through a single motion; not to mention how many tax dollars will be saved. Anyone who does not meet militia-service
				requirements cannot serve as citizens – no exceptions.
xx.		Prosecute Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington D.C. elite who willingly conspired against the freedom and
		values of American citizens for their own benefit.
				This is to announce justice for the past, a reckoning in the present, and a warning for those in the future.

	* End post-9/11 military policies
	* Lessen federal dominance over the states
