Joshua Shane Landelius
Running for President of the United States of America 2012.
Here is why I should be President. I have thought about this through and through. What is the biggest issue facing the Country right now? This is our country and it is slowly but surely being taken away from us. Friends, Americans, Fellow countrymen, I am running as the everyman. Am I perfect? No. I will be 40 on my next birthday. I am a father of 2 and am divorced. I love my kids, my parents and siblings and God. I love my girlfriend. As the everyman I pay child support and do so happily to make sure my kids are taken care of. I take my oldest to therapy 3 times a week. I still pick him up every day for school.
I love Sports. The more the better. I will drink a beer and eat a steak. I wash my clothes; mow my girlfriend’s mother’s yard. I don’t think I am better than a homeless person or less of a person than a Rhodes Scholar. I am just me and hope that you will vote for me.
Yes my policies will alienate some and get me some people just based on what I think on one or two alone. I will be called everything from Liberal to extreme right wing conservative. And to start off with let’s get the big A out of the way. Abortion. Do I like it? No. Do I support it? No. do I believe life starts at conception? Sure. However, I am not a woman, will never be a woman so it isn’t up to me or any other man to decide what goes on there. So for me, no, I won’t get into that debate.
Next up, let’s legalize Marijuana, because you know it is coming. The people that do it now will do it then. Those with the “good core values” will not. I say make it a state issue and go from there. However, any state that has it, here is my proposal. We Tax farmers to grow and sell it to distributors, tax distributers to buy and sell it to the markets and the markets will be taxed very heavily to sell to people. Street value will not go down. Seeds will not be made readily available. And all this tax I am talking about is federal taxes. Lots of Federal Taxes. There by reducing your Taxes. Also this will reduce the amount of people in jails and prison systems also reducing taxes.
Now let’s talk about the voodoo of Gay marriage. Do I think gay people are right or wrong in Same Sex relationships? That again isn’t for me to decide. That falls more to a higher power than myself. God alone will have to judge them. As far as marriage goes I don’t think there should be Gay Marriage personally. I do however think that there should be Civil Unions. You get all the benefits of taxes and the like but go see a justice of the peace (or a pastor can do the ceremony but would prefer that it not be called Marriage).
So, now let us talk about illegal immigration. It really is getting out of hand. I want to mobilize the National Guard, the state and local police and raid a bunch of them. I also want to by the southern tip of Argentina put in a landing strip and drop them off there. Issue them a couple of weeks worth of K-rations a survival knife and card and the card will state if the carrier of this card makes it back to the US they will be granted immediate citizenship. (With the proviso that you must learn English)
I also think that we should just switch to a Flat Federal Sales Tax. I don’t know why Americans don’t want this. First of all you get rid of tax time. You get rid of the IRS. You keep more of your own pay check. This will all reduce your taxes. Keep in mind there are a lot of people that don’t claim anything. Working for money under the table. Also, Drug Dealers, Hookers, etc tons of unreported income. However, if you have a flat tax every time they buy a car, a boat, a stick of gum that is that much money we are getting from them that we never would.
I feel like the country should be more of an open book, maybe we have pay per view specials, go explore, Area 51, Haarp, and different places that conspiracists talk about. If I am elected I will be Commander in Chief, we can go with a film crew and knock on the door. “Hey leader of the Free world here. Need to see what we got going on inside this facility>”

Don’t get me started on Food stamps and other government things that get abused. I grew up eating government cheese and powdered milk. We were poor but that was just how it was. I read the other day about a fellow who had won the 2 million in a lottery but was still able to draw due to the fact that he had less than $5,000 in income. This isn’t what this program was started for. If you have more than 30k in cash at your disposal you don’t need food stamps. Come get in line when you are down to your last $5000.00. I want to see bank records and I think we should start initiating back ground checks. If you are caught with a drug arrest you forfeit your right to government programs. Stealing, etc. I also want you to have a job period. My parents always taught me that there is always work. You can find work, might not be a good job but it is a job and you can make money.
I am still for a strong defense. I do think we need out of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, etc. the faster the better. We are spreading ourselves too thinly. And need to get our men and women back home.
I am for alternative sources of fuel. And am also ok with more drilling. Less dependency on those abroad is a very, very good thing.
The country needs more accountability, from top to bottom. Instead of mooching off the programs that are designed to help people in true need we need to first make sure that we truly need them. Once again you can always find work. If nothing else grab a lawn mower and make a quick $20.00 doing a neighbor’s yard. You might find the starting of a new business. We need to take pride in the fact that we are Americans. That we are the greatest country on the planet. I think we have really lost sight of that. Take pride in the fact that you and start showing a little gumption and moxie. Get yourself motivated so that at the end of 4 years you can say that life is better. There is no accountability any more. There are only things that are PC and we need less and less of that. Take ownership of the country. This is my land and your land. Why is the government more in control than ever? Because We, the people, have allowed it. We, the people, need to put in a man that wants less government and more voices heard. Talk to your representatives and Senators. Let your voices be heard.
I will be taking on more issues in the coming months. I really want to keep this 100% viral. If you want a speaking engagement I will need compensation. 20,000 per engagement. All donations will be put towards putting my name on a ballot. If you are tired of overpaid politicians who have forgotten where they came from give me a chance. I have worked 2 jobs since I was 22 years old. Together, we can win the White House. I will be a one term President. I am not going to promise you the world but I will promise to do my best as your leader.
Thank you each and every one!
TOGETHER, we can make a difference!
Shane
