DONALD J. TRUMP CONTRACT WITH THE AMERICAN VOTER
What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington
Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
- FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
- SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
- THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
- FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
- FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
- SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:
- FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
- SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
- THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
- FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
- FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
- SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
- SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix Americas water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
- FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
- SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
- THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
- FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that wont take them back
- FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
- Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
- End The Offshoring Act Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
- American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
- School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
- Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
- Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
- End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
- Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
- Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
- Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government. This is my pledge to you.
And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.

>>...but are there enough reasonable people left in the country.<<
The establishment on both sides, Dem/Pub have been flooding the country with legal/illegal immigrants and refugees for decades now in an attempt to change voter demographics.
Ya gotta ask one-seff, “Seff, if publicans know that massive illegal immigration would one day put them out of reach of power, why would they continue to allow open borders”?
Now we know. The republicans have laid their cards out on the table. Many republicans have come out in support of a democrat. Not only a democrat, the most corrupt democrat in our lifetime.
All of’em, McCain, Graham, Bush family, Romney...name it, are chameleons. We now know, it truly is a Uni-party against we the people.
If Trump wins...then we use this vehicle to attempt as much conservative/pro-American constitutional change. If he loses....then what?
This is indeed our last opportunity to stop the bleeding.
To: Ray76
Why did he wait until now to bring all of these key points out in one contract and one simple list that is easy for all to see and read?
Personally a voter like myself who is debating just staying home would like to have read this months ago.
Would have made my decision much easier and less fretful.

I always get a tear and a lump in my throat when our anthem is sung.
I remove my cover when our flag is raised, and stand proud as a son of veterans ... POWs, infantry, seamen, soldiers, pilots, tank commanders.
Commie bullshit is not taken lightly around here.
Vote Trump!

Oh, it was intended as sarcasm. This is the most conservative platform of my life.
The problem is not with Trump, but with those who claim to speak for conservatism but have no time for Trump.

The rally in Cleveland Saturday was gigantic! Very high energy crowd, and Trump was far more well spoken than in the debates. It was a very mixed crowd, with whole families and a scattering of minorities. I wonder if the minority count was due to location (outside the city towards southern suburbs).

Thank you for that tag line. I am not going to change my own tag line, but I will borrow those words from time to time in conversation or other postings. And actually, I have been saying that for sometime now. We are voting for Trump because we WANT him to be our 45th POTUS. For several election cycles I have had to ‘hold my nose’ when voting. Not this time!
Go TRUMP!
To: eartick
Excellent point. This SHOULD have been the cornerstone of himself entire primary campaign. He’s hinted at portions of this, but never laid it all out in a coherent plan. Three weeks before the election is probably too late to have much impact.
To: gogeo
Yeah, I caught the sarcasm, and I agree.
I’m mostly commenting that the people who claim that Trump isn’t ‘conservative enough’ tend to be totally impotent at best.

Excellent!
Did Gingrich help him write it?
I hope it works and voters will turn out in overwhelming numbers voting for Trump.
