Platform A: Bruce Wayne
Bruce Wayne Political Party Platform:
Restoring Education: The Race to the Top
Education is the key to ensuring the prosperity and freedom of America for years to come. Education is one of the most fundamental institutions our country was based on by the Founding Fathers. Without education, we will not be able to excel as a society. Bruce Wayne and Party promise to instill world class education in each and every community in America for every child by improving upon educational standards and setting new bars for the upcoming generations to reach. Every student in America will be given the same educational opportunities regardless of income, gender, race, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation in order for them to be accepted into college and start their careers. As globalization continues to enlarge each day, we must be able to ensure that America has the greatest and smartest minds to stay on top.
Bruce Wayne and his Party believe that education will recreate the middle class and bring the economy back to order. As we will continue to work with communities and cities across the nation, we will be encouraging the states and their governments to make conscious decisions about how they are distributing their taxes and other money they’ve received, persuading them to put more of their money into the education departments. The more money put into education, the better rounded a student will be, being able to utilize their skills, get a job, and put money back into our markets, creating a middle class and regulating our economy.
Bruce Wayne also believes that education is vital for our global performance as a country. The global market is expanding faster and faster every day, meaning more opportunities for foreign affairs and global partnerships. Wayne knows through his family’s enterprise that becoming a Global Citizen is the pathway to success at the international level. Wayne and his Party would like to create a high standard for students, making taking a language as a requirement in order to graduate from high schools. By understanding another language, one will be able to perform better when looking for jobs because they will be more versatile; by extension, being able to help the company reach out to other cultures.
Similarly with international affairs and education, we would like to “out-educate” the other rapidly expanding countries of our world. In order for America to stay at the top end of the global economic rankings, we must look at the education of other countries and analyze how we can take that a step further. Rather than teaching solely from the American perspective, we plan to change the teaching curriculum to start teaching from an international standpoint- if we can understand other cultures and outlooks on life, we can better handle ourselves in the international market. Wayne and the Party would also like to put an immense amount of emphasis on technological proficiency, as our world is becoming more technologically advanced every day.
In order to fund the education plans that we have, we plan to use a larger amount of the tax money and cut the spending of tax money in other places. Additionally, since schools rely on the property taxes of the districts surrounding them, and more areas are more affluent than others, we plan to fix our percentage of other government spending so that we have a standard set of money to make every school equivalent in what they can offer.
Mr. Wayne and his Party understand that the power of technology is essential. To elaborate on the subject matter from earlier, Mr. Wayne would like to make sure every student is offered the basic technological skills that will be vita; to performing exceptionally in the job market. In order to gain these skills, a hands-on approach will be the most important component to this juncture. With the money that we collect and put into the US Department of Education, we want to use a good chunk of it on new computers, tablets, mp3s, and even more advanced technological equipment, as well as software programs that are used in daily life around the world and right here in our own country.
With a more extensive knowledge on our world and how it works, we can plan for a brighter future and a brighter generation.
Healthcare
Bruce Wayne supports healthcare. He believes in making sure you are covered when you are sick. Because Mr. Wayne is putting a lot into healthcare we are going to raise taxes. We will make it affordable and quality health coverage. Bruce Wayne owns Wayne Enterprises, branching off of that is Wayne Medical and Wayne Biotech. These two companies are studying to help with medical research.
Wayne Medical is focused more on treating illnesses than researching them and maintains and runs many hospitals in Gotham City and helps the Wayne Foundation with the orphanages. Wayne Medical also helps with the studies of cancer and AIDS. Wayne Medical’s sister company is Wayne Biotech. Wayne Biotech is Gotham City’s healthcare system. This company has a part for researching and making new medicines. Another focus is to learn more information for illnesses’ and different diseases. The main focus at Wayne Biotech is to help find a cure for cancer. They are also trying to help fight against AIDS and HIV. Bruce Wayne is for the healthcare reform. He wants to help anyone who comes his way.
Technology
The advancement of technology is key to the growth of our economy. By creating more technological opportunities, America can create more skilled and experienced workers and strengthen economically weak communities. To increase technological job opportunities, we can promote U.S products over foreign produced ones and expand innovation. Bruce Wayne fully supports the progression of technology and manufacturing in the United States and has an extensive background dealing with it. Founded by Wayne’s ancestors in the 17th century, Wayne Enterprises include but is not limited to Wayne Shipping, Chemical, Food, Industries, Medical, and Electronics. The three companies specialize in the advancement of technology and industry in America. Wayne Industries is a research and development company that focuses on developing cleaner, more efficient mechanical fission and fusion power plants. It also involved heavily in the industrial circuit, creating heavy engines, motors, pneumatic systems and large scale systems. In addition to Wayne Industries, Wayne Electronics also has a hand in progressing the technology level in America. It manufactures various tech equipment such as portable radios, stereos and Hi-Fi systems, movie cameras, measuring devices, scanners, surveillance equipment, and other electronic devices. Its other branches of business include information technology, wired and wireless networks, and space exploration systems and satellites. It also has contracts with the aerospace, nautical, and military industries.

Platform B: Aang
Submitted 23/10/2012 by Aang Campaign Headquarters
Foreign Affairs: Domestic, Military, Energy
The foreign affairs of a government are not only keenly important to the welfare of the nation all over the world in a highly globalized 21st century, but also a key stepping stone to better relations within the country as a whole.
Energy -
As of right now we, the people of the United States, receive much of our oil from other foreign places such as Latin America and Canada, as well as the Middle East. It is in our countries best interests to gradually import less foreign oil into our country. While in no way trying to stop it completely, cutting it down gradually over the upcoming 3 – 5 years would reap great benefits four our internal economy helping to stimulate the money flow that has been slowing down as we saw in the recent recession. While slowly cutting back on foreign oil we will start to implement our own oil from various reserves that are sitting idle right now all over the nation. This would not only help to again stimulate the economy but it would lower gas prices due to companies not having to pay various importation fees as they enter the United States. Overall, for times of emergency and for the benefit of the future, this will reduce our nation’s dependency on foreign nations. American has always been about being its own in dangerous world; it is time to bring it back to its former self sufficiency.
While cutting back dependency on others and being more self-dependent, it is important to still actively pursue the idea of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels all together for the benefits of the upcoming future. The money that the Unite States saves on importing less foreign oil can go to the cause of assuring our spot as the leading developers of alternative energy for the very near and long term future. Alternative energies are already supplying homes, cars, and businesses with other ways of supplying electricity while not emitting dangerous toxins into the atmosphere, with the governments active funding of these methods, not only can alternative energy be improved on to be more efficient, easier to obtain, and less costly, but possibly find even better ways of making energy that have not been possible before. This process, development, and wide spreading of alternative energy will be a long term goal of the Aang administration and done gradually so as to not radically change the energy derivatives but rather have a smooth transition into a better future. Oil, as well know, and as supported by many modern scientific studies will soon run dry and become too costly to retrieve form the ground or under the sea. This cost ultimately goes to the people, and if let happen, will only hurt the consumers of this nation. Our proposition, as mentioned is to not only to limit our reliance on foreign oil, but also promote clean ways of making energy that will be less of a burden on the tax payers and will only get better as the future and the evolution of technology progresses. While in the transitioning phase to cleaner energy sources, early adoptees will receive benefits for promoting a better future. Tax breaks will be given to consumers who make the right choice in purchasing cleaner vehicles, more energy efficient appliances and lighting,, as well as any other products deemed to be healthier for the people, the environment, and less cost for the nation as we transition into less dependence on oil. Larger corporations will also be able to get these benefits if they adopt more cost friendly, and environmentally friendly business practices pertaining to where the energy that their company uses comes from and any of the aforementioned factors that individuals and small business consumers have the chance in participating in.
While transitioning into cleaner energy is a long term goal, transitioning into a self-sustaining country independent and uninfluenced by decisions of those who are against our own interests or those attempting to ensue indirect control over this nation is not hard to grasp in the very near future and is something that must be done if America is to live on as the leader of innovation.
Our candidate, Aang has many years of experience and dedication to these foreign energy affairs. Not only has he been able to successfully negotiate safe business practices of several nations, but he has deeply delved into supporting and working on alternative energy sources. No other candidate has as much experience or knowledge of both international, and internal energy affairs.
Military –
The United States military has been in need of various restructuring fixes for over a decade. As a once great symbol of American pride it has become something of a political puppet and has been losing respect of other nations for several decades. In order to restore its glory, the Aang administration will begin a process of gradual restructuring and tightening down of regulations in the military as well as external factors acting upon it. Internal restructuring will be led by a revised program of acceptance and training to not only lower our losses through better trained, better educated, and better equipped soldiers to help keep them safe in times of trouble, while being both respected and feared all over the world, because it is these factors that can determine whether a loved one comes back alive or not, and it is our job to keep our soldiers safe. Also, tighter control will be gradually assumed over the monetary budgets of the military to make sure that no overspending, syphoning, or loss of money occurs to protect the taxpayers of the nation.
Being both feared and respected all over the world does not mean that our soldiers will have to be kept all over the world as we stand now. One cannot deny the monetary and emotional costs of sending our soldiers far off into hot zones around the globe. The Aang administration will not only follow through with bringing our soldiers home but also reassess our values as a nation of what we should be focused on. Our military is not obligated to serve as the global police force, and without support of others will not, and should not, continue to do so. The United States of America should be more concerned about our own issues first, and afterwards with the issues of other nations. As of now we are strained to pay for the constant war and attempts at making peace in the Middle East while at the same time trying to deal with economic problems of our own with our nation. While our support will continue to be felt by other nations willing to cooperate to be made more peaceful and democratic, we cannot force ourselves upon others. This only creates conflict, destruction, and the possibility of loss of our dear friends, neighbors, as well as close loved ones, not to even mention the economic strains of warfare. The United States should not be doing the job of the United Nations, and as such, while we will continue to be a key player to promote our peaceful interests and assist the UN in the resolution of conflicts, the United States will not continue to be the carrier of the UN’s burdens pertaining to both our economy and our military.
Aang the Avatar has had many years of experience in these very matters and with much success. Having resolved a great conflict between the four nations of fire, water, air, and earth he is well qualified to resolve the issues between the United States and those opposed to it. While Aang, and the Aang administration will seek peaceful existence at all opportunity, we will not endanger our sovereignty, our beliefs or our military in doing so. If encroached upon we will defend ourselves to the fullest, but we will not overstep our bounds and become hypocrites to our own Constitutional values.

Platform C: Oscar the Grouch
Platform D: Tony Stark
Energy
Much of the public is already fully aware of the fact that Anthony Stark has recently invented a clean, renewable, long-lasting source of sustainable energy. While this project is still under development and study for improvements and safety, Mr. Stark's own "Stark Tower" is currently running on this energy source. Not only is it durable, it is also cost-efficient because of its endurance. Due to the fact that more research and testing is needed to finalize this project, there will be more jobs created to compensate for the efforts needed. In return, the population will be supplied with an energy source that will steadily lessen the need for foreign and domestic resources. The decline in the need for these resources will lead to preservation of the environment and the opportunity for them to be used for other things. Overall, Tony Stark's work has the potential to completely remove our dependence on mainstream fuel and energy sources, provide a large source of income, and create jobs that this nation sorely needs.
StarkCare
http://truecostblog.com/2009/08/09/countries-with-universal-healthcare-by-date/
As much of the public believes and knows, our current healthcare system is very flawed. In comparison to other countries, our mortality rates, doctors per capita, prescription drug costs, and overall health issues are issues to be cringed at. Mr. Stark's plan for health reform will be able to change a portion of the health care issues we have today. For example; some other countries are required to have health care, while others offer basic healthcare to the public in exchange for a small tax increase. The latter is a preferred way of healthcare services used by thirty-two of the thirty-three developed nations, with the United States being the lone exception. By dedicating a small tax increase towards public healthcare, we can reduce the expenses paid by Americans for their medical bills.
War
War is and always will be a sore issue for a majority of Americans. While there are some who believe that war is never the answer for major issues, there are others who believe that war is the ONLY answer. Mr. Stark does not believe that war is the answer for anything except when there are declares of war towards America. Violence is not the answer at this point. There are other issues to focus on, that deserve more attention. There are troops in foreign countries that might wait years to see their families again, and they don’t deserve the sights and events that they are put through. Mr. Stark has forgone a majority of his weapons construction and is working on mending bonds with countries he might have indirectly offended or harmed in the period where a former employee distributed weapons unauthorized.
Education
Our current education system consists of each state having its own method of instruction. This way is quite inefficient due to misrepresentation of information, students having different learning styles and paces, and availability of resources. Mr. Stark wishes to enforce a federal government schooling system for grades K-12. This system will ensure that all young students will be learning the same subjects at the same time, so there will be an even distribution of education. This includes programs for children who require special education or advanced classes. This method will be more efficient and will allow for easier teachings, without worry that a class falls behind or gets too far ahead of others.
Women’s Rights
Contrary to popular belief, Mr. Stark does not believe women are lesser than men in any way or that they deserve less-than-equal treatment. Most people consider Mr. Stark a playboy due to his relationships with other women. Mr. Stark believes that women are not as respected as they should be, but this is not the fault of the majority of the population. He believes that women should have respect for themselves rather than concerning themselves with others’ opinions. He believes that the young women are too concerned with society’s view on them; they have to look this way or that to have people like them. He wants women to have more self-respect for their images and also personality.

Platform E: Courage, the Cowardly Dog
Courage has dropped out of the race as Candidate E, and is now running mate for the Aang campaign
See Courage's platforms at: http://courageforpresident.weebly.com/platform.html
Platform F: Big Bird
Due to the Events of Courage's dropping out, Big Bird will be posted as Candidate E on the ballot.
Economy
Candidate Bird understands that a poor economy is hard on all of the people, not just some of them. He has well informed views on the state of the economy and has devised several plans to bring America out of debt, create new jobs, and improve the economy.
Mr. Bird believes that a self sufficient country has the most efficient economy. Products crafted in the US are both safer and more reliable than imported products. By purchasing goods made overseas, the US is supporting inhumane working conditions, low pay, and potentially dangerous operations. Mr. Bird plans to gradually incorporate American made items into stores, while simultaneously eliminating foreign wares.
By decreasing America’s net imports, Mr. Bird will also be reducing national debt. This will create more local jobs in order to make the products we currently import, which in turn will reduce the US’s dependency on other countries. With Mr. Bird’s plan, instead of constantly spending money on importing goods that we could make and relying on international sources, the US will have everything it needs within the country. He also plans to have a surplus of products that can be exported and in turn bring revenue to America.
Green Initiative
Our environment is a crucial part of our everyday lives. Mr. Bird believes that global conservation is very important in order to ensure a sustainable future. We must act now in order to protect our dwindling resources so that our children will have enough. It is our duty as a country to make sure that we are doing all that we can to create a greener tomorrow. Mr. Bird has a plan to be able to lead you to a cleaner future.
In an effort to reduce the national carbon emissions, Mr. Bird plans to offer tax breaks to companies that use alternative energy sources. These cleaner sources of energy greatly reduce the company’s carbon footprint. The companies can also market their products as being made by using clean energy. Once the economy begins to improve, Mr. Bird plans to initiate government funded research for alternative energy. The more we know about options other than coal, the more reliable the sources become. Using alternative energy sources will also help the US become less dependent on the Middle East. If we can manufacture our own power, we won’t have to rely on foreign oil. If we rely on other countries, we can be greatly handicapped during a time of war. By making an effort to “go green” the US will become more independent, and in turn becoming stronger.
Candidate Bird understands that a poor economy is hard on all of the people, not just some of them. He has well informed views on the state of the economy and has devised several plans to bring America out of debt, create new jobs, and improve the economy.
Mr. Bird believes that a self sufficient country has the most efficient economy. Products crafted in the US are both safer and more reliable than imported products. By purchasing goods made overseas, the US is supporting inhumane working conditions, low pay, and potentially dangerous operations. Mr. Bird plans to gradually incorporate American made items into stores, while simultaneously eliminating foreign wares.
By decreasing America’s net imports, Mr. Bird will also be reducing national debt. This will create more local jobs in order to make the products we currently import, which in turn will reduce the US’s dependency on other countries. With Mr. Bird’s plan, instead of constantly spending money on importing goods that we could make and relying on international sources, the US will have everything it needs within the country. He also plans to have a surplus of products that can be exported and in turn bring revenue to America.
Green Initiative
Our environment is a crucial part of our everyday lives. Mr. Bird believes that global conservation is very important in order to ensure a sustainable future. We must act now in order to protect our dwindling resources so that our children will have enough. It is our duty as a country to make sure that we are doing all that we can to create a greener tomorrow. Mr. Bird has a plan to be able to lead you to a cleaner future.
In an effort to reduce the national carbon emissions, Mr. Bird plans to offer tax breaks to companies that use alternative energy sources. These cleaner sources of energy greatly reduce the company’s carbon footprint. The companies can also market their products as being made by using clean energy. Once the economy begins to improve, Mr. Bird plans to initiate government funded research for alternative energy. The more we know about options other than coal, the more reliable the sources become.
