I have put together some simple but much needed ideas for the McCain campaign to focus on for the next five weeks. I have sent this to the McCain campaign and I hope they take them up.
My inspiration was the 1994 “Contract with America”. Simple ideas everyone can understand. The problem with the current wall street/main street situation is that it is very complicated and most people, including half the people talking on TV, don’t have a good understanding of the problem or the solution.
I suggest 3 to 5 main ideas of reform, prosperity and peace that the McCain campaign needs to push. Push it in to campaigns, one lead by the Senator, and the other by the more conservative Governor. Allow her to run a shadow presidential campaign that allows her to be her and not feel constrained. In the last few interviews she looks like she is answering like someone else wants her to answer instead of herself.
Hammer only the ideas you decide on and don’t loose that focus of one month!
Some Ideas:
Reform:
Investment regulations and stronger oversight.
Mortgage industry reform through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Immigration.
Prosperity:
Freeze Budget for 2 years (exception for natural or national disasters)
Means testing for all budget items
8 year plan to reduce imported oil
8 year plan to rebuild the U.S. infrastructure
Roads
Bridges
Communication
Utilities
Peace:
Commitment to Iraq drawdown
Not a time frame but based on the battlefield.
