Warm Greetings to honorable members representing the House and the Senate of the United States Congress, esteemed judiciary members, distinguished United States Military High Command, fellow Americans and citizens around the world. 

United States citizens face many challenges with little or no effective solutions from leaderships and entities in control of the political system. Unfortunately the policies are designed to benefit the selective privileged class and special interests at the vast majority expense.

United States economy confronted with unnecessary and unsubstantiated debt due to lack of republic authority over money supply and monetary policy. 

In the absence of checks and balances i.e. independent investigation and congressional inquiry on transactions involving secret loan deals qualifying as bailouts worth twenty trillion dollars and previously nine trillion dollars or more reported unaccounted in the Federal Reserve audit,

The contentious debate on raising debt ceiling has no basis and deserves clarifications from relevant sources responsible for the staggering debt burden on average citizens with generational impact.

Furthermore, the military expansions through illegal warfare draining national treasury with pentagon sharing abovementioned accounting irregularities in several trillion dollars continues to receive disproportionate budget allocations while the lawmakers slash food stamps, stall unemployment benefits and spar over increasing minimum wage from $7 to $10 in the dire economy.

Substantial financial and military aid to Israel, Egypt, Jordan and alike as insurance for nuclear state Israel with drastic strategies against people in the United States and occupied territories in the Middle East defies logic and constitutionality.

The fiscal policy premised on austerity with spending cuts directed at consumer base contributes to stagnancy in economic growth not to mention the incentives to corporations in tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts is yet to deliver results in job creation and retention especially in manufacturing and service sector.

Similarly trade policy favoring multinational companies target developing nations for excess profit margins, tax evasions and non-compliance in labor and environment laws affecting domestic and overseas work force with deprivation of jobs and exploitation respectively.

The trend since implementation last century has widened the gap between haves and have-nots with dissipating middle-income category and segment in lower economic strata struggling to make ends meet in the United States largely ignored despite repercussions on retail industry, housing market and overall economy.

Additionally artificial maneuver of US dollar and China’s renminbi trigger volatility and trade imbalance reflective in United States current account and currency reserves in global market.

United States Congress and administration prioritizing American citizens desperate economic situation with robust measures including recovery of missing tax dollars and troop withdrawals could rescue the nation from default and precipitous decline.

Fixing healthcare inadequacies and removing penalties in mandatory subscription imposed in Obama Care would ease problems and allow flexibility for patients exploring suitable plans or awaiting approval.

National attention towards educational funding for K-12 program and alleviating college students plight in the loan scams in semblance with sub-prime mortgage offers is paramount to safeguard youth empowerment that determines country’s future.

The home foreclosures carried out without proper applications of rule leaving many American owners in dispossession of assets together with savings facilitating foreign investors bids and high turnover in real estate superficially inflating home values in the sensitive industry.

On citizens privacy, the controversial NSA and NDAA besides being unconstitutional and undemocratic with civil rights infringement in NSA activity and denial of legal course in the latter indicative of subjugation redefining democracy. 

United States prison population on the rise with police violent crackdown and anomalies in judicial process necessitate review and reform. 

Unites States legislation on gun violence and curbing state aggression witnessed in stop and frisk ordinance in New York City important for citizens’ safety in a modern civil society.

Similarly, releasing Guantanamo Bay detainees for safe return to country of origin and closing the prison camp in Cuba and elsewhere would confirm United States departure from human rights violation.

United States foreign policy abandoning terrorism, invasion and occupation, provocation with military drills and nuclear capable flights and submarines, stirring political unrest notwithstanding false flag events in the domestic and foreign locations, drone attacks killing civilians with immunity, economic sanctions constituting mass persecution, and peace talks derailment by arming mercenaries in Syria…would foster better relations and restore credibility worldwide. 

In nuclear disarmament, United States and major powers enhancement pursuits with ICBM and short-range missiles testing conducted regularly rejecting international laws binding all nations on earth.  

United States refusal to sign nuclear non-proliferation treaty amid pervasive militarization of regions to establish dominance endangers global security and provides impetus for nuclear proliferation among non-nuclear states unwillingly contemplating nuclear option in self-defense. 

United States, Israel, Britain, France and other western allies backed dictatorial regimes in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan and Turkey specialize in oppression and terror manufacture viz. Takfiri elements and assortment of al-Qaeda offshoots deployed to destroy lives, livelihoods and infrastructure of sovereign nations perceived adversaries for defending territorial integrity and citizens self-determination rights against imperial aspirations embarked on extremism and militancy. 

In the environment front, United States experiencing severe weather conditions from hurricane to snowstorms with casualties and natural disasters in other parts of the world causing extensive damages arguably generates the requirement for global commitment to maintain the critical standard to protect and sustain life.

The developed or industrialized nations concerted action for 45% emission contraction against the present norm – 11-19% of which various credits adjustments against insufficient undertaking further degrades the emission percentage to bare minimum diminishing the prospects for the safe upper limit in CO2 release – 1.5°C or 350 ppm (Parts Per Million).

United States political and economic freedom is imperative for universal liberty, peace and progress.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
