Terry Lankan
Terry Lankan
After he graduated from Ohio State University, Terry Lankan worked as an antipoverty advocate in Houston, Texas. He was then, and is now, a very adamant supporter of public works programs, because he grew up in an extremely impoverished area. Lankan soon became a beloved figure in the Houston area, and went on to serve in the Houston City Council, and then later became mayor. He served 2 terms as the mayor, and decreased the number of kids joining gangs by nearly 50%, but the people of Texas just could not get enough of Terry Lankan. Consequently, he served 8 terms as the Representative of Texas.
REAL PEOPLE, REAL PROBLEMS, REAL SOLUTIONS!!
FOREIGN POLICY
Lankan believes that America is wasting its time and energy attempting to be the world's police force. Instead, if you elect him president, he will work to improve the world's view of the United States by helping us to play a lead role in the United Nations. This should take some of the pressure that is weighing down on the U.S. military. Another change that Terry Lankan will enact if elected president will be to expand the State Department's involvement in military planning, because he knows that a significant part of military planning is diplomacy.
HEALTH CARE
On the issue of providing for the well-being of the citizens of the United States, Terrence Lankan advocates providing publicly subsidized health insurance that will also cover 100% of prescription drug costs to needy children and to any eldery or disabled person who applies for it. This way, it can be assured that the people who may need health insurance the most will get it. Lankan also wants to expand Medicade to include new immigrants.
CRIME
Terry doesn't believe in corporal punishment for the citizens of this country, because the death penalty has never been proven to be
Lankan also believes in second chances. If elected president, he will place a greater emphasis on preventing crime and rehabilitating first-time offenders, in hopes that as a result, they won't commit crime again. He is against citizens owning handguns, because guns are used most frequently to commit crimes. But he is, of course, in favor of our Constitutional right to bear arms, and is not opposed to ownership of other types of firearms.

Save the Earth
The Environment: Terry Lankan is very serious about doing our part as a leading nation to protect the earth and the environment that we live in. He believes that if people had more incentives to incorporate environmentally friendly actions into their everyday lives, then more people would participate in doing so. So if elected president, Lankan will guarantee tax credits for both individuals and businesses who voluntarily commit to reducing carbon emissions through the use of solar power, hybrid cars, and other methods. He also will initiate tax credits for businesses that invest in alternative energy research. Terry and his administration will also pursue new ways to encourage oil and auto-manufacturing industries to turn to alternative fuel production and consumption.
