This is an 11 Point Plan For America drawn up by Senator Rick Scott of Florida. Thanks to a media that shakes in its boots when covering Republicans, few ever heard of it let alone the damage this plan could do.

Here are the 11 points in Scott’s “rescue” plan. Each is explained in detail at RescueAmerica.com.

• Education: Our kids will say the pledge of allegiance, salute the Flag, learn that America is a great country, and choose the school that best fits them.

• Color Blind Equality: Government will never again ask American citizens to disclose their race, ethnicity, or skin color on any government form.

• Safety and Crime: The soft-on-crime days of coddling criminal behavior will end. We will re-fund and respect the police because, they, not the criminals, are the good guys.

• Immigration: We will secure our border, finish building the wall, and name it after President Donald Trump.

• Growth/Economy: We will grow America’s economy, starve Washington’s economy, and stop Socialism.

• Government Reform and Debt: We will eliminate all federal programs that can be done locally, and enact term limits for federal bureaucrats and Congress.

• Fair Fraud-Free Elections: We will protect the integrity of American Democracy and stop left-wing efforts to rig elections.

• Family: We will protect, defend, and promote the American Family at all costs.

• Gender, Life, Science: Men are men, women are women, and unborn babies are babies. We believe in science.

• Religious Liberty and Big Tech: Americans will be free to welcome God into all aspects of our lives.

• America First: We are Americans, not globalists.

It has been describe as “looney” and “insane.” Yet if Republicans are in a position of power again – especially at the state level. – expect this to be a guiding document. Indeed, some parts are already fueling new state laws.

An interpretation from the Orlando (Florida) Weekly (Rick Scott’s home state):    

• Turn schools into patriotism factories where kids are forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance (unconstitutional) and teachers can get fired for making white children uncomfortable (i.e., “critical race theory”). Then again, none of that will matter after they close the Department of Education and implement a voucher program that ghettoizes public schools and routes billions of tax dollars to unregulated religious institutions.

• End diversity training “or any woke ideological indoctrination” in the military — “woke” is Scott’s new favorite word — cut off funding for universities that try to diversify their student bodies, and proclaim as a point of fact that the nation is colorblind (the last 400 years never happened).

• Impose more draconian sentences for violent and nonviolent crime, and expand qualified immunity so that cops can even more easily abuse their authority with impunity. Blue lives matter, etc.

• “We will secure our border, finish building the wall, and name it after President Donald Trump.”

• Give the president a line-item veto (not only unconstitutional, but it would render Congress irrelevant), prohibit debt ceiling increases (calamitous), tax poor and retired people (everyone should have “skin in the game”) and whatever “Socialism will be treated as a foreign combatant” means.

• Enact term limits for members of Congress and civil servants (unconstitutional and will empower lobbyists), move government agencies out of Washington and “into the real world” (expensive), and cut IRS funding in half (presumably so Scott’s pals can get away with tax fraud).

• Ban same-day and automatic voter registration (because fraud, or whatever), unmanned collection boxes and public campaign financing (“No serious person would ever favor this,” says the billionaire), and don’t count absentee ballots that arrive after Election Day. But voter ID will be mandatory, of course.

• Ban abortion, ban porn, give tax breaks to “nuclear families” and allow faith-based groups to discriminate against whomever they like.

• God says trans people aren’t real, so doctors should be banned from treating trans children and trans men should be banned from women’s sports — which the party that just a few years ago ridiculed Title IX now finds sacred. (Strange, that.) Also, “no government forms will include questions about ‘gender identity’ or ‘sexual preference.’”

• Ban Facebook and Twitter from banning users for hate speech or spreading misinformation (unconstitutional), “reject both the roots and the adherents of cancel culture in America,” and “stop investing federal retirement dollars with ‘woke’ fund managers and companies that put left-wing politics ahead of profits” (“woke” means clean energy, I presume).

• Stop participating in peacekeeping missions, end imports from China (only $435 billion a year), “take climate change seriously but not hysterically” (i.e., do nothing) and “treat our enemies like enemies.” 

Just so you know what you are voting for if you vote for a Republican, any Republican. Not only will they wreck your financial stability, you get a bunch of goofy laws that control your life. And as a bonus, if you are poor you get to pay a much higher percentage of you income in taxes that the rich.
