Whatever helps promote people to vote I'm all for.

I'm all for big turnouts, but the last thing this country needs is more stupid voters, especially in an election year where we have to choose to support one of two very stupid campaigns.
Here is my running platform (which is why I will never be president):
Reconstruction of Iraq will be outsourced to foreign nations in exchange for military support, so that the US can begin to withdraw its forces without causing the country to lose stability.
Abortions will still be legal, but limited to only one per woman.
Homosexual couples will be granted full legal status (with the exception of public adoption, which will be left to the states to decide), however it will not be recognized as marraige-- instead, the term "marraige" will be removed from federal legal language, and replaced with the term "domestic alliance." The only legal requirement for domestic alliance applicants will be that they are 18 years of age or older and their alliance will contain at least two people. Individual states may have additional laws pertaining speciifcally to the terms "marraige" or "civil unions" if they choose, but these will not appear in federal law, nor will they affect federal domestic alliance laws.
Paying off the National debt will be a priority. This means fewer tax breaks, however it also means less spending from the federal government. There will be no government healthcare, but instead will offer new tax incentives to corporations based on their ability to provide their employees with insurance. Companies who provide poor health insurance will pay higher taxes, which will go directly towards paying off US debtors.
The education system will revamped to allow for more competition between schools. Parents will be given school vouchers, which they can either use at a public school, or take to a private school. Competition in favor of monopolies will force schools to be more effective, and as a result the children will recieve better educations. If a school is of poor quality, the parents can withdraw their kids and send them to a better one. Some schools will inevitably have to close their doors, but this is no different than one retailer closing because another retailer has cleaner stores and a better selection of products.
That is how I would fix the country. But unfortunately, people only seem to care about how many houses a candidate owns or wether or not they are a secret muslim.
