Dear Presidential Candidate,
​
In response to the outrageous costs of college, it is essential you and your BMNC party fight for free college in this election. Studies have been conducted on solutions for providing a free college education. However, these studies have shown that in order to provide free college, taxes would have to increase drastically. The results of these increased taxes would lead to the state’s assistance in providing a free college education among its community colleges, hence helping to cover the costs so many struggle to afford. In order to aid the cost of college in the United States, the Executive Branch would also have to cut the military budget, which would help to cover the outrageous costs of a secondary education. The price of obtaining a college education has rapidly increased over the past decade, and the state’s assistance in affording one would benefit the United States and its economy in more ways than one.
Looking ahead, the vast majority of jobs in society require some form of post secondary education, so it’s not odd that someone would hope to earn a college degree. Many, if not most, of the individuals who skip the opportunity to gain a college education do so because they are discouraged by the school’s costs and/or cannot afford it. For years students who have attended a college have been burdened with student loans, and have been unable to make an income that will satisfy their debt. According to the Los Angeles Daily News, “more than 44 million Americans owed about $1.5 trillion on student loans at the end of March 2019, more than twice what they owed a decade earlier.” (Shibbe, 2019, p.1). Student debt has sky-rocketed in the past decade and is a problem not worth the price. Based on the dropping number of college attendees, it is clear that it is important the government (specifically the executive branch and the State) assists community colleges in providing a free education, in order to help the individuals of the state gain the necessary education and skills required to complete the tasks an employer demands.
College fees and dues in the United States have been rapidly increasing over the past decade, climbing to extreme debts that cannot be paid for. In order to provide a college system that is affordable, even free, for the citizens of the state, the state’s government would be required to implement higher taxes, and the country’s Executive Branch would be necessary in reducing the military’s expenses. The results of these increased taxes would lead to the state’s assistance in providing a free college education, hence helping to cover the costs so many struggle to afford. In order to aid the cost of college in the United States, it is also vital the country reduces the military budget, and directs the extra funds towards college, which would help to cover the outrageous costs of a post-secondary education. The price of obtaining a college education is unacceptable, and the state’s assistance in affording one would benefit the United States and its economy in more ways than one. With the help of the government and your BMNC party, along with a new method of funding for college, more students will be guaranteed to obtain a beneficial education.
Sincerely,

Mexican drug cartels have been around for a long time. There are ways to limit the drugs on America. We can have border patrol step up in the job like adding more security to control what goes in and out. That’s a way to limit the the drug market. We can also track down all the consumers here in America so that the drug cartels can’t keep selling. A drug cartel is basically a group of organized people on the goal of selling and producing drugs illegally. We can also give the DEA more support by giving them the supplies they need. We can fund them as best we can. It’s important to stand against drugs because many drug consumers are dying of od and we need to limit that as much as possible. We need to simply limit as many dangerous things as possible to make our future safer and better. We can’t let drugs be passed around. We should also unite with Mexico to get rid of the cartels because United is the only way we can make a difference.
Thank you,

Dear Honored Candidate,
I am writing this letter to you requesting a policy that regards the Chinese Labor Issues. As of late, work concerns in China have been growing, and conditions for employees are still decreasing. This policy proposes that the BMNC campaign will begin to limit the number of purchased goods from China. The main concern to this is that our economy may collapse due to the lack of cheap and quickly produced items. It can be easily corrected, though, if the money is instead put towards funding our American factories.
Besides those changes, you can assist workers in China. All human rights matter, even though they are not citizens of our country. Helping others is a larger priority. It would also help to conduct evaluations on Chinese factories, and ensure that employees there are alright. Addressing the Foxconn suicides from four years ago, you can guarantee the rights of workers. This would be greatly beneficial due to the safety of knowing that our products are coming from a safe source. More money can go towards our local businesses. I understand that this policy would require time and money, but it would be useful.
Respectfully,

Dear Honorable Candidate,

I would like to propose a policy regarding child labor laws in the entertainment industries. It has come to my attention that child labor has changed throughout the years and has become almost none existing in the United States. Although this has happened, I feel the need to address the fact that Child labor still exists in the child entertainment industries. The Fair Standard Labor Act (FLSA) was passed to protect the children from working in harsh conditions and too long of hours but was not geared towards the entertainment industries. Though most of the states have laws that are stricter than the FLSA, they are not being enforced properly.
The main concern of placing a policy on the entertainment industries is that they might lose business and actors won’t be interested in working in such controlled environments. This policy proposes that the BMNC campaign will begin to work with the Department of State and the Legislative branch to help strengthen the child labor standards in the entertainment industry. You and your campaign should make sure that the child actors in the industry are always in a safe environment and are not exposed to harmful materials. Most states do not have laws to protect the child actors and the ones that do not always enforce them even though they are stricter than the Fair Standard Labor Act. I believe that when you are elected for President, child workers will be well protected in the entertainment industries by having stricter laws and tighter regulations. I know this doesn’t seem like much, but I believe that it will help everyone in the long run by making sure these child workers are well taken care of.

Dear Presidential Candidate,

I am writing this letter to you because I think that you should consider using a balanced budget amendment. Currently, the U.S. Government doesn’t deal with their debt very well. Over the past years, the U.S. Government has collected $22,897,812,971,228 in debt. The United States Government has a few financial problems. They are struggling with their debt. The national debt is over 20 trillion dollars including unfunded liabilities like Medicare, Social Security, and pension programs. They also have trouble with their spending. Several states require their legislatures to pass a balanced budget each year. The Constitution does not require the government to balance the budget which leads to overspending and acquiring more debt. I think that you should consider using a balanced budget amendment so then it can minimize debt, restrict too much spending. A balanced budget amendment would reduce actual debt while funding real liabilities. A balanced budget is an ideal solution to the debt problem because it would prevent the government from frivolously spending money that we simply do not have. The current debt for the United States is about 20 trillion dollars, and something must be done” (para. 2). If the United States Government used a balanced budget amendment, then it would help with their spending troubles. Having a balanced budget amendment can help with reducing the government's debt, it can also help with their spending, and it helps keep the government in line. Although some people think that it could be difficult to enforce, a balanced budget amendment is something that the United States Government should have.
Sincerely,
Georgia Clark
