Main Focus - ENVIRONMENT

Over the years, the United States has become much more densely populated, driving us to use more nonrenewable resources. One main nonrenewable resources that we use in our busy everyday lives, is gas. Gas is emitted from our cars and into the atmosphere, which settles and heats up the earth. This has caused the polar ice cap to severely melt, which causes ocean levels to rise. This is also known as climate change. Global Warming plays a major role on almost everything; destroys animals habitats, warms the oceans which kills many fishes, and also makes the weather go wacko. The resolution to all this, is using renewable resources; such as Solar Panels, Dams, and Wind Turbines. Brining more and more of these machines into america will create more jobs and help with a cleaner environment. T A X E S  The middle class struggles a lot with taxes. Citizens that live in the poverty/lower class level can go on Welfare or have things like Title 19. The middle class pays the payroll tax for Social Security, which the rich can usually skip out on because it only applies to the first $110,000 of wage income. Middle class also pays a much greater share of their income in sales tax because they cannot afford to save their money. Many millionaires don't have to pay this money for people on welfare, because they have so much of it and get to skip out on this policy. We think it is only fair for the rich to have to pay, that way the middle class doesn't have to keep suffering as much. E D U C A T I O N  In the Go Green Party, we strive for every American to graduate high school. In order to do so, the cost of tuition needs to be affordable. If every single student in high school graduated, think how many jobs we could create! America's economy depends on todays children, and thats why we believe education is so very important. It's also important for kids to go to college, because college prepares you for the real world, and gets you the education you need to get into the field of work you want to go in. Our problem is that many high-schoolers today are worried about the cost of college, and that's why they don't think of going to college when they graduate. Many families are too poor to afford college tuition, so that's why we want financial aid in every school. Imagine if kids don't graduate, and don't go to college? What will America look like in 20 years? We need our kids to be as educated as can be, our future depends on it. G U N C O N T R O L We stand by the Second Amendment, which says that we the people have the right to: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. If the government takes our guns away from us, aren't they disobeying what the Constitution says? Laws were enforced in our society for a reason. We do support background checks on people who want to buy a firearm. Doing this can help find people with felons, drinking disorders, or mental health issues; and prevents them from buying a weapon and hurting others. Also, if you want to buy a gun, you have to wait three days for the background check to go through. If you come out clean, you can go purchase your gun. We believe that the wait of three days is appropriate for procedure. E C O N O M Y The unemployment rate of America is 8.1%. Instead of decreasing from last year's 7.3%, it increased by 0.8%. America's population is roughly 242.8 million (not including children under the age of 18), and 8.1% of 242.8 million, is 19,666,800. That is the number of american adults without jobs. By bringing in more offshore mining and renewable resources we could create hundreds of thousands of jobs that were lost over the past few years. A b o r t i o n  We are against abortion, but we do have an exception. In cases of rape, incest, or damage to the mother, you can have an abortion. If you are raped, it is not your fault if you got pregnant, and if you don't want to have the baby, then you can have an abortion. But, if you made the decision on your own to get pregnant, then you cannot have an abortion, because it was your decision to have it in the first place. Think before you act, stay protected.

We think that foreign affairs are a good thing. Every Country should be trusted, and who knows, if we help them they very well could return the favor. Besides, it’s a good thing to just help out another place that’s in need. We are all people, and we’ll gain the trust with other places, and there could be a time they take side with us in combat.

We believe that if immigrants want to go through the process of becoming an American citizen then they have the right to do so. It is completely up to them. If they want to enjoy the freedoms that we have and do so legally, then we think that is perfectly okay. However, we think that all illegal immigrants need to leave America whether it be by choice or forced.

S o c i a l s e c u r i t y We feel that social security is a need for Americans these days. It is especially important to people who are retiring or are already retired. Have you ever met someone who wanted to work their whole entire life? The answer is most likely no. We think that it is crucial that American citizens put away some money now so that it will benefit them in the future. M e d i c a r e   We think that the u.s. need to get a plan that makes it easier for middle class patients to afford medicare. Medicare is a big thing here because most people, who work hard and have decent jobs, can’t afford it because it costs so much.  A f f i r m a t i v e A c t i o n  Affirmative action is a big priority to us and we believe that there is still some of it going on. Racism is scarce but it is still around. We plan to make the punishments of not accepting a person because of their age, color or religion worse. These acts of racism are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
