Being A Citizen

We must be open to new ideas and listen to what anybody has to say.  We must work together in order to succeed.   It is from the people that the government gets its power.  We must distinguish ourselves as civilized citizens in order to create a vibrant democracy.

Peace

This is a difficult and trying time in the world.  War is raging. People are hungry, sick, and devoid of hope.  What we do have is a sense of human dignity that unites us all.  Our belief in good and our desire to help others transcends all barriers and boundaries.  It bursts through walls and turns them to shambles.

Yet the iron grips of tyranny and oppression have not left this world.  We still live in a dangerous world, as evidenced by numerous wars and killings.  We need to tell the politicians and leaders who endorse this conflict that we will not take it anymore.  The world stands much more to gain from peace than from war.  If we join together as brothers and sisters, we can rid this world of evil.  We need to join together and help each other, help the world become a better place.  

Party Platform

We are in the midst of revising our party platform for the rapidly changing political situation in the world.  On our minds our foreign policy, the economy and job creation, energy, and education.  If you feel strongly about these issues, let us know what you think.  The people deserve to be heard; let your voice take flight.

A quote of inspiration

The summit of Everest is no higher than a molehill if you put your mind to it.  We can all aspire to greatness; those that endeavor the hardest will succeed.  

America

We are not White, or Black, Asian, or Hispanic, or even Democrats or Republicans.  Instead, we are Americans and human beings on this earth. Let us all join together in unity, for when we are truly united, we can truly call ourselves America.

You

We all can change this world.  Big, tall, young, old, we all can make a difference.  People are the agents of change in this world.  We all have the power to make the world a better place.

Banned and challenged books

Banned and challenged books-even in America.   Some of these books we all should read, not for pleasure, but for the lessons the teach us.  Literature can sometimes be boring, but these books have great lessons.  Reading challenging books, books that make one think are important to today's society.

Torture

We must not torture; instead we should treat all detainees as if they were fellow humans and citizens of this world.  

Young People

Ignoring the young people of a nation is a grave offense on the part of any government.  It is tragic whenever governments do this and they are duly punished.  When young people are ignored, the get angry and revolt.  Change needs to come; reform must be swift.

What we really need

Overall, both big government and small government are bad. The Auxilia Party believes in a balance between the people and the government. In part, the Auxilia allied forces are the government and the people in an alliance to better this nation. In some areas the people have more power and in others, the government has more power. But overall, it should be a mutual discussion and connection between the people and the government.

Economics

Democrats and Republicans go on and on about spending and taxes but none of them have the real solution.  The Democrats have to realize that there is more in life than spending government money as much as they want, and the Republicans have to realize that they can’t always demand no taxes.  Taxes are essential for government to function.  But also, the government must also be more efficient and careful in the way they spend money.  No wasteful spending is mandatory.  Tax cuts should be for the poor and middle class and the super rich, who can afford it, should be taxed more.  One thing politicians don’t realize is that these taxes aren't going to redistribute the wealth.  When the rich are taxed more, they’re still rich.  When the middle class gets a tax cut, they’re still in the middle class.   The tax cut just helps them to stay where they are.  This compromise is the best solution to our economic problems.

Fairness in American Society

America speaks of being all for liberty and fairness yet prejudices in the American Society have not yet ceased. We must learn to join as brothers and sisters all as friends. Even today, you see people walking on the other side of the street when they see an African-American, or laughing when they see an Asian speaking in their own language. You see people calling people of the Islamic religion terrorists or calling anyone who is very faithful to their religion a lunatic! People also make fun of or look down upon people with disabilities. A common prejudice you hear is against women or men. None of these things are controllable. But that fact should not be used for persuasion against prejudice because it is still saying that these traits are bad, but just that the people shouldn't be discriminated against because of them because they are uncontrollable. But, we should say that color, religion, disabilities, and gender ARE NO difference. We are all the same in that we are human beings, and yet we are all unique in our personalities and our beliefs.

Government

We are not for big government or small government.  Instead, we are for government that works and works for the people, with the people.

Education

Education is very important all across the world.  With an education, children know have a future.  Please support efforts to educate children worldwide, so they too may have a future.  This will go a long way in combating violence and terrorism.
