Fellow Americans, I am Abbey Laurel-Smith, a Know-Nothing Party of America candidate, with a passion to “rebuild not replace”, running for President, United States, 2024.
I am promising a return to Henry Clay’s common “American” sense, as the best way to map out a future for the next generation. This native “Know-Nothing” pedestrian and most realistic approach, I see as the best way to set in place a type of economic security for the coming generation. It is also the best way to secure an environment that is not only sustainable to us all, but one that is safe and adaptive to host a smart and a self regulating technology.
I promise to ReBuildUSAtoday by securing its borders. Revise tax codes, credits and exemptions. I will do away with certain rules and regulations as a way to revitalize the economy, re-energize small businesses, drive up the spirit of invention, boost channels of supply nationwide.
I will also nurture entrepreneurship in economically depressed communities in the rust belt states, the farm states, and other neglected parts of the United States.
Current challenges facing the country today could not be addressed by continuing along the lines of current foreign policies and a military styled economic system that have proven to be harmful and detrimental to how we deal with our own domestic issues...
With this in mind, I therefore implore you to put me in charge, sit back, and watch me ReBuildUSAtoday!
- To start a rebuilding process, I am proposing four steps: First is a return to a pre WWII Anglo Protestant economic system that served the country from 1812 to 1942. It is a system that gave precedence to value rate by cancelling out vanguard roles for speculated rates and as inflated rates.
- Second is a roll back of the state department to its earliest days when it was created around the Baptist and Methodist Churches. As a nation we don’t have a Pope or an Archbishop, yet these two bodies use the powers granted to them by this newly created office in July of 1789 to set up a plan to establish the sovereign state of Liberia in the 1800’s. That helped spread christianity, democracy, liberty and freedom to Africa and beyond. Let's do the same in the Middle East.
- Third, This is a vote multiplier for my party. I reckon with the fact that this is a placeholder Presidential election. The last time we had anything like this was with Arthur Chester in 1881. It makes sense for the sitting Vice President to uphold a placeholders’ tradition by letting prisoners exercise their Grandfathers’ right to cast a vote for the placeholder President - even if they can’t vote on their right. If immigrants could vote in some states, then I see no reason to continue with this practice of denying full blooded Americans from voting.
The President who fix the border.
The President who nullify inflated rates, nullify speculated rates and brought back value rate so things could be cheaper.
The President who brought back wealth and prosperity to the rust belt states, the farming states and neglected communities in America.
The President who invested in industries, farms and mining rather than put it all on the man holding onto land/ landed property and not doing anything with the land.
Honesty. Dignity. Believe in God. Stay true to yourself and use your office to stimulate high employment, low inflation, economic growth and most of all sustainable external balance.
Be honest and do jot be shy to rise above partisan politics.
Be ready to reckon with the fact that current challenges facing the country today could not be addressed by continuing along the lines of current foreign policies and a military styled economic system that has proven to be harmful and detrimental to how we deal with our own domestic economy, border security, wealth disparity, affordable housing and issues of growth we face at home.
P{ut yourself aside and do something for God and for Country.

Robert Peel, The Prime Minister, the problem solver..
Spend more money at home, on Americans and on issues that affect them. Create a system that is open and transparent enough for everyone to see and feel how their tax is being spent.
Separate aids, from grants, loans, credit and exemptions, so Americans could know what to expect when yearly natural disaster struck.
Government is too big, if it embarks on reckless spending abroad. But if it is nicer at home, then it is simply doing right by the people and for the people.
Border security. Review immigration and tax laws. Bring down cost of living and general healthcare.
Penal or Paternal: I will establish care for all Americans by putting an end to the penal practice we inherited from the British.
Set up training and professional schools for military wives.
Hard to imagine that some counties in the United States haven’t had a birth in the last six months. But if that is the reality in some parts of America of today, then it is the President’s responsibility to the American people to use policy instruments to fix a few bad habits that are fashionable but dangerous and damaging to our traditional values. I will waste no time tackling this.
I will not be the President that replace chicken with asparagus i
Immediate task: 1- Start fixing the border by looking to nullify a few prohibition era laws that are in the way of establishing a single way of dealing with illegal immigrants once apprehended.
2- Remove all contractors or anyone outside government agents and agencies, tasked to provide accommodation and services.
Near short term task: Look into land laws that was in the areas affected by these border crossings. Work with the state and local government for an updated domain.
Long term: Build new settlements, space monitoring stations and new security apparatus for our combined military in the areas affected.
I am determined to move the nation forward from where we are today. That is why I see and talk differently from other major parties who as of today have become insular and distant from the people.
That the electoral college be abolished. That the President shall be elected by popular vote. That cabinet appointees should be members of Congress.
The fact that the military served the American public better when it was known as The Army of the United States. That we need to shy away from being The United States Army and get back into a name that not only define role, commitment, pride and manner of conduct for us. The code of conduct of the army of Pershing time is different from what we have today.
Ulysses H Grant.
None is radical enough. I would not wish it on anyone to emulate them.
I am for a radical departure from our current economic outlook and policies or a change from what we have now to what used to be, that is our old Anglo Protestant economic system that was used to build America from 1812 till 1943.
My competitors are afraid because they knew nothing about this system and because they simply haven't been in America long enough to experience how this system works.
Shipping, Banking and Freight.
I used to be pro-abortion, but after seeing a few Anglo Protestant communities without a single birth in six months, and after seeing the rate at which people are professing their affinity with the LGBTQ, I changed.
I'd love to boost the population of Anglo Protestant Americans the most. They are the most affected.
My type of running mate would be someone who not only see things the way I see them, but someone who could effortlessly improve on them, get a network of others to do the same at local level, and would not be afraid to query my judgement if in doubt
Cabinet appointees have go to be someone who see the whole picture of what my campaign is about and can demonstrate how best to get things done.
Experience, knowledge, emotional intelligence and real understanding of the laws of the land.
As far as I am concerned, the role of the President - as the Head of State, has not been clearly defined. I'd love to sit with the states and draft out an agreement so as to avoid overlap and duplication of roles, offices, laws and regulations.
Make it secondary to domestic issues.
As an administrative tool for getting things done.
Could be used as a tool for enabling suitable conditions for a sustainable growth.
Could be used as a tool for establishing effective "strategic" relationship between government, private sector and organized labor.
Artist. All my life.
I look up to improving on what Ulysses H Grant did as President and as a Radical Republican who put people and the country first.
I am a very creative person.
Getting my views out as a candidate.

I crossed the north Atlantic all the way to Florida in a bath tub, using my bed sheet for sail, my bed post for mast and a Chinese lotus electric fan blade for propeller.
Was using the stars to plot my way to New York City, but ended up in Miami because a submarine got caught in my fishing line.
Knew I was heading the wrong way as soon as I noticed my bath tub was being pulled the other way.
I am a damned good sailor after all.
