The immediate repeal of blatant infringements against the individual rights protected by the Bill of Rights, and the restoration of those rights, is my #1 priority and objective.
Any and all legislators who have introduced legislation that restricts free speech, the free exercise or expression of religious beliefs (and that means any religion!), firearms ownership by law-abiding citizens, or who have supported police abuses of the People contrary to the 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th and 14th Amendments, will not only see those laws stricken from the books, but will face charges of treason for ever having introduced them - their having sworn upon their election(s) to uphold the very Constitution that their legislation has violated!
'By Executive Order!' 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very prestigious address; only Buckingham Palace or the Vatican can claim to equal its renown. It's also a very comfortable abode by anyone's standards. Add the obvious perks of a staff that would make any medieval king extremely jealous, chauffeurs trained in 'anti-terrorist' driving techniques, free and unlimited use of military transport, a veritable army of personal bodyguards personified in the Secret Service, and the idea of a presidential salary stands exposed as a ridiculous waste of the American taxpayers' monies!
My first executive order as President will be to eliminate salaries for the executive branch of our government.
My second executive order will be closely tied to the first one and will also put an end to the longstanding debate over term limitations; to extend the restrictions of the twenty-second amendment and prohibit consecutive terms for the executive branch of government. Serving the People of the United States should not be merely a priority for the President and Vice-President - it should be their only concern! Running a re-election campaign renders an incumbent divided in both focus and purpose. If one has done well, the majority of the People ought to be trusted to know so and to remember for four years until that candidate becomes eligible to run for a second, final term of office.
The incumbant pork bellies in D.C. can't get their tiny minds made up about a way to balance the budget; to paraphrase a popular media idiom, "... it's your salary, stupid!" The offices of today's senators and congrespersons are larger than the apartments many of us struggle to pay rent on. Meanwhile, the salaries they draw could be put to far better use housing the literally thousands of homeless American families. If a politician is sincere in their desire to serve the People of America, they should have no reservations about working for room and board; they are, after all, public servants - not public employees!
From pole to shining pole, every state in South and Central America will be annexed - banana republics and petty dictatorships will be a thing of the past when the many small, so-called "undeveloped" nations of our southern friends and neighbors are brought in under the protective umbrella of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
My plan includes, but is not limited to, the annexation of all the Caribbean islands - not only the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, but the British Virgin Islands, the French Antilles, Haiti/Dominican 'Republic' and, yes, even Cuba (what do you think Fidel & his older brother Raul will say when an 'invasion force' arrives with shiploads of rice, wheat, toilet paper and other commodities that the island has gone without for more than forty years!?!)!
The provinces of Canada, too, will all become States in our great Union, as will Guam, the Philippines, American Samoa, the Solomon Islands and all other U.S. territories, protectorates and possessions!
Each of these new states will hold free elections, guaranteed by military police if necessary, and senators, congresspersons and governors will be chosen to represent the People in accordance with the Constitution.
Standing armies of each respective state will be incorporated into the existing National Guard system.

Health & Education
Educational and public health priorities will be elevated to the highest of all national concerns, with the duties of our present day armed forces expanded to include remedial tutoring and other trade and career oriented programs aimed at eliminating illiteracy and better preparing the People of the United States of America to lead more independent and self-sufficient lives.
Instead of a two year stint in the military, why not, instead, create a G.I. Med & Ed militia?
Not a serve and protect police state, but a bona fide walk-in, get-fixed and walk-out (free of charge) public health system with door-to-door dieticians, diagnosticians, therapists, nurses and educators in every neighborhood in America twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
By offering young Americans the option of serving a two year tour of duty in lieu of their senior year of high school, a national medical and educational corps could be built into the military system! Every participant in such a program would be guaranteed that they would come out with nothing less than a teaching degree or the know how and experience to set up and maintain a Federally backed neighborhood clinic or learning center.
The peacetime aim of our new military would be to provide student soldiers with a year of intensive training in classroom and lab environments and then turn them loose on the streets for another year under supervision to remediate entire communities in language and math skills while providing free preventative health maintenance and monitoring.

Reparation to Native Peoples
Ownership, operation, management and possession of all National Parks, National Forests, National Monuments and designated wilderness areas, as well as all defunct military installations - from the Arctic circle to Tierra del Fuego - will revert to the 'Native' Peoples to whom they belonged before the European invasion of the "new world."
"New world" Peoples shall be further compensated through the re-naming of the national holiday now known as 'Columbus Day.' Celebrations of the first of many genocidal European invaders will be replaced by a national day of mourning for the hundreds of millions of the Americas' original Peoples slain by Columbus and his ilk. Tentatively, the new name of this holy day will be "Reparation Day."
Special concessions will be made at annual celebrations to the remaining nations of the First Nations of the Americas, beginning with the immediate and long overdue pardon of Leonard Peltier.

Legalize Pot
The Sacred Herb known as "Potagawah" or "Pot" will be made legal and will be distributed on demand and free of charge to anyone of legal voting age under the 24th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Government grants will be awarded to large scale farmers of hemp to help the economy recover from decades of rule under profiteering politicrats more concerned with their own wealth than with the well being of the People.
Further Federal monies will be saved by curtailing the witch hunt for pot smokers that was begun as a racist scheme to get black musicians and hispanics off the streets and into prisons.

How to write in Your vote for Bob God
To cast Your write-in vote for Bob God, simply use the space provided on your ballot form and write in the full name, "Benjamin Robert Taylor."
For Vice-President I would suggest you write in the name of a free thinker such as Baba Ram Dass (nee Dr. Richard Alpert) or the Green Party's Ralph Nader, or a genuine humanitarian with some political experience like Jimmy Carter or Ben Nighthorse. Jesse Ventura or Arnold Schwartzenegger wouldn't be bad choices from what I've seen of their performances. It's just to damn bad that my old friends Bucky Fuller and Tim Leary have departed this world; either one of them would have made an ideal VP!

Addressed as "Bob God" since the mid-1960's, I was born Benjamin Robert Taylor in Miami, Florida in 1953, hadn't ever been convicted of a felony until, “oops!” – June of 2006, but I have had my Rights to both Vote and Hold Office restored as of June 5, 2008, just in time for elections! - I've never been adjudicated as non compus mentis(yet!), and in all other respects meet or exceed all of the requirements to campaign as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America.
