Everyone has an opinion about who should be elected President in 2008.  The real question though, what would you do if you were elected President?  What would be your first priority?  What's most important.

On Monday's FOX8 Morning News, we asked you to share your thoughts.  Tell us what you would do if elected 'Ruler of the Free World.'

1. Put the "Fair Tax" in place.
2. Repeal NAFTA & CAFTA
3. Complete the fence at the border to stop the influx of illegals.
4. Begin shipping illegals back to their home country.
5. Repeal the "No Child Left Behind" act.
6. Examine the budget and VETO any that was filled with "Pork" and move that money to education and defense.

I would lower all the White House staff's wages to about $300.00 per week, Like a lot of factory workers around here. Lets see how they survive on that kind of salary.

Thanks,

make sex offenders do life. Build a prison just for them somewhere far away. Or if that's impossible I'd make them all have red tags on their cars,just because they don't live near a school or daycare doesn't mean they don't drive by one or even live near some innocent woman or child. Our country is so messed up. we put ankle braclets on young kids for running away but we leave it to the sex offenders to monitor themselves and report when they move haha.

I would focus on America...plain and simple, and work to correct all of the wrongs that have put us where we are today. There are too many to count but that is where I would start. America first and foremost. Foreign relations can be achieved without spending billions to get it. War is expensive and ours has long outlived it's so-called purpose. Dependency on oil is killing the less fortunate in this Country and we need alternatives. Illegal immigration and things like NAFTA and CAFTA are likely taking what't left! Health care in this Country is rediculous for what we pay. Insurance...now there's one that has never been addressed! Pay enormous amounts of money in the event that you may need it or use it only once or twice! Shall I continue?

I'd shut everything except the essentials (the Pentagon) down in government for a week. We would then have a surplus and we wouldn't have to hear the crybaby "everybody hates America" illogic rhetoric anymore.

1. I would put an end to career politicians by placing term limits on state, local, and federal government officials.
2. I would sever all entangling alliances all welfare to Countries would come to an end.
3. I would take away the tax exempt status of religion all churches; all religions would pay taxes on the billions of dollars they take in.
4. I would level the playing field on commerce goods produced in other countries would cost more and I would make foreign countries jump through hoops to make money off the American people I would support made in America and American workers first. I would put an end to the oil monopoly by mandating alternative fuel research and development.
5. Corporate America would be cut off since they have shown that they refuse to trickle down the savings to the American people that our tax dollars and incentives that have been the driving force behind their huge profits.
6. I would return to the gold standard and put an end to the Federal Reserve Note.
7. I would support government funded college education to those who wanted it and could maintain a 3.0 GPA. I know politicians prefer an uneducated populous because it makes fooling the masses easy. But the more you know the more you are worth.
8. I would make 24 month military service mandatory for men and women.
9. I would end the death penalty but would re-instate work camps and criminals would work no TV no movies no weightlifting, I mean work forced unpaid labor till their debt to society was paid.
10. I would allow conceal carry of firearms to all law abiding citizens.

Well

I can't believe you people as opinionated as you all are, you mean to tell me you don't have any solutions or any ideas that you would push for if you were President? Or are you all just whiners who sit back and criticize those who have vision on what this country needs. Even had one glue sniffer post another blog based on what I would do if I was president how lame is that! Always seek the balance (Catalyst)!
