Dear Future President of 2016

     In Nashua, New Hampshire we saw a flood of Republican hopefuls this weekend trying to show they have what it takes to win the Republican nomination.  I don't think am alone in saying that some of these people who are announcing their intention to run really don't have a snowballs chance in hell, but we are going to hear a lot of powerfully moving speeches in this beginning phase of the operation.  These speeches are really lovely and satisfying to the ear, because since the Obama regime we have not heard any kind American sentiment that currently is being expressed with these potential candidates. I'll enjoy, and suggest you do so as well, this moment of American pride and sentiment regardless of who's talking.  Once all of the "excitement dust" has settled, it will be time to start getting down to the important questions of where do they stand on important issues of our times. 
     I would like to implore anyone who is thinking, or is currently in the race for nomination, to consider that now possibly more than ever, you will be entering into a race that will not only help in shaping the American future, but one that is going to be fixing the wrongs and re-branding the American image abroad.  This task is not for the faint of heart.  This next President will need a backbone constructed of steel and a mind sharper than a Japanese Katana.  Our country depends on you to protect us from the evils of terrorists abroad and being grown at home.  You will have a long road ahead of you to fix this wimpy image that's been created of us by Obama and his highly unqualified grouping running the U.S.  You're going to have to know that there are so many things you have to fix that you're going to have to surround yourself with people who know what they are doing in certain agencies. Please don't hire your friends. With this being said, I am going to begin with a short list telling you exactly what I want from my next President, so please take note.
     I demand that the next President understand the real threat that ISIS and Iran truly are.  Any time I hear someone trying to defend these kinds of groups with their PC rhetoric, you're not only demonstrating that you have no clue how to protect this nation, but that you're soft on national security.  People chanting "death to America" are not people that we should be making excuses for, let alone making deals with.  We need a strong military, with an exceptional Commander in Chief.  You are going to have to secure our boarders and start being tough on illegal immigration.  I do not want the U.S. to be this revolving door for people who refuse to follow our laws and traditions, and I do not want those people who have been here for years illegally to get a free pass.  If anyone is here they have to pass our citizenship test, plain and simple.  We need to stop with the "poor them" mentality and start demanding all that live under our nation's protection not only value what they have here, but that also freely embrace the American culture.  
     The next President must retract this overbearing reach the Federal Government now has in our public schools.  The absurdity that is Common Core needs to go, just let this die.  There is nothing this is doing to assist in helping our children reach the level of education to that of competing countries.  Remove the No Child Left Behind Act.  While standardized testing is important to an extent, this should not be the sole grounds to measure whether or not schools receive funding.  What this act has done in effect, it has turned our teachers into trained testing advisers.  Showing and prepping students on how to take a test written by someone not of the school who knows the students.  It's like having a boss who has never worked as their workers do and having unrealistic goals established for their work force.  I argue that this Act is one of the reasons why our children are at a disadvantage to that of other countries.  We must allow teachers to teach, and we must allow them to do so with out fear of losing funding if they don't test prep for the entire year.  We must trust that these teachers can do what they went to school for.
     There are so many things that the next President will need to address,that they will need to fix. They must do so in an intelligent manner that brings about an outcome that will be for the betterment of our society.  The next President has a lot of cleaning up to do and a lot of ship correcting that there will be little time to relax.  You should win on your plans, not just vague ideas.  Detail how you will fix issues plaguing our nation, do not give me buzz words.
