As the nation approaches its 57th Presidential Election, we're asking the future leaders of this country, students, to define the single most important political issue in this election. Tell us not only what that issue is, but also tell us why and how you propose we come to a solution that benefits the majority?"

The most important issue facing the United States, its governmnet and our future president is the recognition of the Earth as a living organism that should have its own set of rights recognized not only by the United States, but by any country that unites themselves with the countries who begin to take on the role of Stewards of the Earth.   All of our natural resources are finite; the health of the land we grow our foods and raise our families on is finite; and the time we have to recognize our planet as our primary supporter and only resource for life is finite. Illness within our populations, birth defects, and environmental allergies and disasters are rampant within all the populations of the world. This is because our governments and independent unawareness allows for ultimate pollution of our lands, our oceans, and all of our people.

The United States has an opportunity to live up to its reputation of being a strong world leader by redefining its basic foundation for what our national goals and responsibilities are by passing the "Mutual Respect and Stewardship Act..for all humanity and our Earth to end war and poverty through the intolerance of negligence and blatant abuse of the Earth and its creatures".

This Act would address the blatant negligence of governments and their responsibility to respectfully harvest all natural resources from the Earth including its plants, creatures, metals, stones, water, air, etc.  This act would also make law that the long-term preservation of our resources for future generations is our first priority as a world population. Toxic contamination of our Earth and its creatures will not be tolerated. The Act would be signed by all leaders in all countries to ensure that workers receive fair wages and humane circumstances for work based on location and that the harvesting of any product from the land will be regulated with respect, research and great responsibilty.  If this act should be broken by any country the Board of Stewards would agree by contract to fine this country depending on the degree of negligence. If a fee could not be payed, the gross act of negligence must be stopped and corrected or the board would exclude this country from all forms of trade and expose them for their negligence, as this should be public knowledge. 

"A population should never be punished for taking what it needs from the Earth in order to survive, but when a population, government, corporation, or individual shall perform a gross form of negligence and disrepect upon the Earth or any of its creatures for its personal monetary gain or out of sheer greed, they shall be treated as a criminal and punished", says Magnolia Polley of the Diamond Mind News Blog.

This Act is inspired by the current gross negligence of BP in the 2010 oil spill, Japan's accidental neuclear reactor melt down, the continuing wars in the Middle East over oil, the "blood diamond" horror in Africa, the constant dumping of garbage and sewage into our water-systems and the overfishing of certain areas of our oceans as well as the over cutting of our woodlands causing environmental shifts that affect all other populations and resources in the world.

This is not a plea for environmental awareness, this is a message for the our governments to take care of the only resource that guarantees every organism's survival and natural evolution on this Earth. This can be done by recognizing that the Earth itself is the organism and we are just small pieces of it with a responsibility for our needs in regards to survival and preservation.  This proposal falls under and is supported by the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
