A Few Thoughts on Senator Rick Scott's 11 Point Plan (R)

I like to read what is going on with politics and the proposals that are being put forward for public consumption. It should be noted that discussing something doesn't mean I agree or disagree as I'm trying to understand what is being proposed and its benefit for the rest of the nation. That means I would put up any proposal of this magnitude and discuss my thoughts as an American citizen; regardless of the party.

First, let me say that Senator Rick Scott is going to be further right then me (I'm a light right and not necessarily on these issues.) but I do understand what he is trying to say here (I'm not sure he expects to have it 100% approved as it looks more of perhaps a starting gate position. Maybe not? 🤷). As with this proposal (and any other proposal) there are things I like and dislike so I will just say in general a few comments that sparked my interest (meaning not in specific).

I think there is some merit in some of the arguments but specifics would be highly negotiable among different societal stakeholders.....

1.) Pledge of Allegiance and learning about the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

2.) Religious freedoms and the rights of people to practice their faith in a respectful way. 

3.) The concept of moving beyond prior race and religious dynamics to create solidarity of people. 

4.) Wall or no Wall. There are some benefits and detractors to finishing the wall as my Republican and Democrat friends will argue. I would look at it from a practical and functional aspect while not neglecting optics. 

That is all I got to say at the moment (I'm learning and not trying to get into pitched battles. Everyone take a breath. We can't grow as a nation unless we share ideas. 😀). I want to see what is brought forward by other Republican and Democrat leaders to gauge positions. A type of compare and contrast to see where they might find fertile middle ground for future negotiations (To turn theoretical into practical.). Sometimes listening is better than talking. Bashing each other is also generally more unhelpful than looking for points of similarity. 

We save America by working together, sharing perspectives, and coming to solutions we can agree upon as a society.
