Paul Chehade - IMAGINE, It's better to have a dream than no dream at all.

IMAGINE, It’s better to have a dream than no dream at all.

The spirit of crisis that has swept the country but offers us a chance to imagine how our country could be.

Imagine Washington DC not being dominated by lobbyists, lawyers, PACs, money, lifetime bureaucrats, media consultants and political hacks.

Imagine a Congress that operated under term limits so that high quality people ran for election, knowing that they were giving the country six years of service, rather than seeking a lifetime profession.

Imagine a President who understands history, our Constitution, and makes decisions based on facts, rather than ideology.

Imagine a President who would tell the American people the truth, not just what they want to hear.

Imagine a President that will surround himself with smart, honest, non-partisan advisors.

Imagine a government that did not spend more money than it brought into its coffers.

Imagine a government that would get rid of Departments that did not accomplish what they were supposed to do.

Imagine a government that allowed its citizens to have liberty, freedom of speech, and freedom to live their lives as they choose.

Imagine a country that was respected throughout the world because of its principles, actions, and example.

Imagine a government that did not bailout companies that should be in bankruptcy.

Imagine a financial system that did not depend on a Federal Reserve to print money in order to keep the Ponzi scheme going, while devaluing the dollar.

Imagine a currency backed by gold that would automatically restrict overspending by Congress.

Imagine a military that was used to protect our country, rather than start pre-emptive wars.

Imagine what could be accomplished if 50% of the $1.4 trillion annual military related budget was redirected to debt reduction, energy independence, and infrastructure rebuilding.

Imagine a “Manhattan Project” to develop new energy sources which would eliminate the $700 billion per year that we send overseas for foreign oil.

Imagine the number of high paying jobs that would be created rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure of the United States.

Imagine the number of jobs that could be created by power plants, wind farms, and converting vehicles to natural gas.

Imagine a simple tax system based on a national sales tax, rather than taxing earnings and investment.

Imagine Americans who lived within their means, used debt only for long-term assets, and saved for their retirement.

Imagine Americans who were satisfied with what they have, rather than desiring what their neighbor has.

Imagine a country where home prices were low enough that someone with an average income could buy a home with 20% down.

Imagine a country where two cars per household were satisfactory.

Imagine an education system that produced the best and brightest students in the world.

Imagine parents who demanded excellence in school, rather than excellence on the playing field.

Imagine that Americans treated their fellow man with civility, honesty, trust and openness.

Imagine a world where people respected all religions and didn’t vilify those with different beliefs.

Imagine a society where people listened to other opinions, debated issues without screaming, and compromised for the overall benefit of society.

Imagine that your voice counts, your actions matter, and your opinions are heard.

Imagine a brotherhood of man where all children did not go to sleep hungry, did not die from common illnesses, and had the love of a family.

I believe that the internet can be used to spread the message of the people.
