make those promises become real. Every false board of their platforms must be exposed. All candidates must be exposed as having not done one thing as President of the United States. They must commit to the people, who will allow one of them the opportunity to serve as President; and the winner must be the one who offers most what the people want from the President.

The biggest promise must be the return of presidential powers to those stated in the Constitution, with checks on those powers given to the other branches of government. The people must have a verbal promissory note to this effect; and the people must make it clear that the failure to repay the support of the people with this return to normalcy will be impeachment. A President has a tremendous amount of power in normal times; but it was never intended that a President taunt the Congress as powerless to rule against an office with sovereign powers of exception. The people must make the President become a servant of the people, or the people must exercise its right to change the government to one that does.

In this regard, the voters must hear loud and clear from the candidates that all will abolish the Patriot Act, as a natural response to no longer having a stated declaration of war in place. This must be a verbal commitment to the people that the person who will next become the President of the United States will once again return Constitutional powers to the people. The Patriot Act was a state of revolution against the people, by its government. Only without it in place can a revolution of the people, over a non-responsive government, not be the ultimate outcome. A nation built on the concept of freedom can not continue to exist without that concept of freedom remaining intact. Any candidate of merit will gladly make this promise.
