Mr. Presidential Candidate: Earn My 2012 President Vote by Addressing These Top 10 Issues

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 1 - Social Security Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: I have paid into Social Security for 40 years without the ability to choose how much I invest for retirement or how my retirement investment is managed. Now, politicians are talking about taking away what I have waited 40 years to get back from the government. Are you really going to allow this to happen and how will you fix the Social Security system so this does not happen to future generations?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 2 - Medicare/Medicaid Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: Many of the baby boomer generation and those before them did not adequately prepare for rising medical costs and sudden health care needs of themselves or their parents during elderly years. John Hancock reports that almost 70% of Americans will need some form of long term care during their life. According to a study by John Hancock, the average cost of a private room in a nursing home is $85,775 per year or $235 per day; a semi-private room is $75,555; an assisted living center room has an average cost of $39,240 per year. The average cost for home health care is $20 per hour.

Some wealthy Americans can afford to pay for long term care insurance and adequate prescription coverage, but most cannot. Doctors ordered five of my family members to skilled nursing facilities because of medical necessity. We had to rely on Medicare/Medicaid to provide these unexpected medical services. There is outrageous fraud in the Medicare/Medicaid system that has been well documented. Are you going to allow politicians to take easy street and cut benefits to honest Americans, rather than eliminating fraud? How would you eliminate fraud in Medicare/Medicaid?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 3 - Wall Street Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: What laws will you propose Congress pass to make fraud and deception by Wall Street executives become criminal acts? How will you propose to oversee Wall Street business transactions that impact America's economic foundation without imposing government on private industry? Who will your Attorney General be that would actually enforce these criminal behaviors?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 4 - Jobs Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: How will you keep American jobs in America and what incentives will you create for Americans to Buy American? How will you reward companies who create jobs in America? How will you reward companies and Americans who make and buy products that are made in America? My husband is currently working for an American company operating in Israel. How will you bring he and his job back to American soil?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 5 - Oil

Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: How many years of $4 to $7 a gallon gas prices and unaffordable heating costs will it take before our politicians achieve independence from foreign oil? What is your plan for alternative energy, offshore drilling, Alaska drilling, and short-term subsidy for Americans to help afford these costs until a long-term independence is achieved? How exactly can we achieve diplomacy and control our dependence on Middle East oil resources while planning and building for our independence from them?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 6 - Health Care

Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: A Harvard study found that over half of the bankruptcies in America are a result of medical bills from rising health care costs. In January 2011, the court ruled that Obama's health care plan is unconstitutional. What will you change about ObamaCare and how will you put America's health care back in the hands of Americans and their doctors and NOT in the hands of insurance companies? How will you work with drug companies to ensure that all Americans can get affordable prescriptions to sustain life? How will you prevent prescription drug counterfeiting and punish those who are involved in the trade that is killing Americans for money? Lipitor is one of those drugs found to be entering America in a counterfeit form. I take Lipitor and I do not want to die.

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 7 - Bankruptcy Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: The 2005 bankruptcy laws made it harder for Americans to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In 2006, our gasoline distributor filed for bankruptcy and was allowed to reorganize and conduct business. We were forced to sell our small convenience store and home at a loss to prevent foreclosure. We also had to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and have spent five years paying back our debt. My husband did the right thing and got a job for which he was paid per diem to live and work out of state. Under the current bankruptcy law, our monthly payment to the Chapter 13 trustee for five years was calculated by including his per diem income, but we could not deduct expenses for two living locations even though that is what the per diem income was used to pay. Consequently, our bankruptcy payment is double what it should have been. What will you do to revisit the bankruptcy law and make the system fair for small businesses and not favor just large businesses?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 8 - War, Service Members, and Veterans

Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: How will you analyze war missions and make changes to policy that will help reduce the deficit? How will we maintain the War on Terror, the War on Drugs, and the Wars for Peace and still balance the budget? How will you increase and maintain adequate benefits to the brave, fighting men and women service members and their families who make the ultimate sacrifice for our country and other the democracy of other countries? How will you ensure that war Veterans and victims of homeland security breaches receive adequate and respectful benefits while trying to balance the budget?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 9 - Mortgage Industry Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: What will you do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make them profitable, respectable programs to assist Americans with the mortgage crisis created by fraudulent, private sector mortgage companies?

2012 Presidential Campaign Issue No. 10 - Retirement Mr. 2012 Presidential Candidate: Retiring at age 65 and enjoying the last 20 years of your life in a comfortable life style used to be an achievable American Dream. If politicians continue to raise the legal retirement age in order to avoid paying out benefits because the government spent the money, Americans will be too old to continue in the work force. How do you plan to keep 68- and 70-year old Americans in the work force when currently is it difficult to get a job when you are over 50 years old?
