I'm a 20-year old college art (drawing) student and a dishwasher at a local restaraunt.
I'm considering running for the North Dakota Representative (we get ONE and only ONE) in 2012, I'll be 24 during the election day and will turn 25 only a month later, which is the minimum age to take office (25). I'll probably run against the incumbent Earl Pommeroy who wins every time.
My platform includes legalizing marijuana for those 18 and older in private homes, but not while driving or at school, and this includes legalization for those who need its medicinal properties.
I would also like to work to repeal the Patriot Act, as it infringes on our Constitutional privacy and gives the government too many "eyes" over its citizens.
Since it's North Dakota, there's tons of wind blowing over the prairie, so I would exploit the wind for its energy potential.
I would work to legalize civil unions between couples of any sex.
I would fight to make abortion a state issue instead of a national one. Let the states decide.
I would work to get more meth education in the North Dakota schools, because meth is a big problem in the midwest.
Also, I would work for the separation of church and state.
I would fight irresponsible spending and work to lower the national debt.
So, what do you all think? Would you vote for me if you were in my state? Any thoughts? :D
