the debt that the country is in and the lack of jobs in America, our children are destined to take over a country that will seemingly belong to other countries. We have a government that is all about a personal agenda, and doesn’t really care about the average person. Why should we have to suffer because they care about what people think about them? We need a government that will do what is good for the country, a government that will bring us out of debt. We need law makers that will not take away our rights to control crime, but find ways to reduce and eliminate crime. We live in a country that cares more about foreign affairs than they do about domestic problems. There were 16,259 homicides in the United States in 2011 and 83,425 forcible rapes in this country. The defense budget for the United States military was $708,000,000,000 for the same year. How can we spend this much on defense operations outside of our own borders when we have more homicides in one year than we had in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since they started? Now the government wants to cut programs like Medicaid and Medicare, raise taxes, and cut other programs to try to reduce the national debt by minor numbers. The truth is, legalizing ma*****na can reduce the national debt faster than anything. During the year 2010 there were 853,838 ma*****na related arrests in the United States. The average cost of incarceration in this country is about $60.00 a day. That is an average of 51,230,280 a day for ma*****na arrests and incarceration in this country. That is an annual cost of $18,699,052,200 just on incarceration. Then you count the tax revenue from medical ma*****na alone, and add an extra $10,000,000 to $100,000,000 per state. Legalizing ma*****na is a way that we can eliminate our $16,000,000,000,000 debt without cutting programs that Americans need. NAAP is an organization that will do what is needed to bring this country back to its glory days, and put the people first. We will make a real effort to restore people’s faith in the government, and get out of debt. Our mission is to eliminate the national debt, reform laws to reduce violent crime in this country without treading on the 2nd amendment, and focus more on defending our country than policing other countries. We are focused on keeping American dollars in America and not spending our money in other countries.
