Legalize Marijuana for everyone of the age 16 and above policy: Our team has decided to legalize marijuana for anyone who is of the age of 16 years old or older. As of right now marijuana is illegal in 12 states, legal in 21, and medical usage legal in 18 states. While in Colorado the legal law to buy marijuana is 21 and older, our team has decided to fight and argue against the current legal age because marijuana has proven to help with pain relief and helps to reduce anxiety/stress. Which many teenagers in high school struggle with, teenagers deal with immense stress as well as sleeping problems because of rapid growing in the body, which marijuana has been proven extremely helpful for sleeping problems. This is a very controversial topic which is why it has not been legalized in all 50 states of the U.S. The reason it is controversial because few people think that marijuana shouldn't be legal for anyone because it can cause some judgement impairments and other related issues. Our team thinks that even though there are some cons to this policy there are cons in all other policies too. So we think that the many benefits that marijuana can bring out ways the bad ones because it can help lower teens stress and sleeping problems which ultimately can bring there performances up in schooling if they are more relaxed and less sleepy. Our team chose this because many teens develop many anxiety and depression disorders all due to the immense stress and responsibilities that teens have. Marijuana can help teens become less stress oriented and more proactive which is why we stand by our decision to lower the legal age.
Gun Control policy: Gun violence is higher than it has ever been in the U.S so many mass shootings happen more often now than they ever have. Many school shootings occur frequently by underage minors looking for violence. In fact, in 2021 it was estimated that 48,830 death related to gun violence occurred. Which is why our party has decided to work together with congress to pass a law raising the legal age to purchase any kind of gun to the age of 25 years old. In addition, the requirements are that people have to take educational classes and go through extensive background checks if they want to buy a gun. Our party stand for the people constitutional right to bear arms but is raising the legal age to 25 because most adult brains don't fully develop until that point in time. which can also bring down many risk factors that are already out there. This can be very controversial to many because it can b e argued that the legal age now is not the problem that needs to be fixed in this situation. But if thought about 6 out of the biggest mass shootings since 2018 were caused by underage shooters. this proves that when people have accessibility to buy guns before there brains are fully developed adults that they are most likely to use the guns for violence. Which is why our party stands for the right to bear arms for people who are the age of 25 years and above.
Human Trafficking policy: Human trafficking is a wide spread issue that needs to be targeted and better handled moving forward. Human trafficking is when a person is taken against there will by either being coerced, bought, forced labor, sexual slavery, and exploitations. This is something that occurs everyday, it has yet to be stopped. The U.S tracks in thousands of victims to human traffickers without getting caught. Which is why our team wants to take action on this problem because its not being fixed and getting bigger by the day. Our team plans to make stricter enforcement rules and monitoring of who comes in and out of the country. We also are hoping to team up with other countries to find a wider solution for not just only the U.S but to target the major problem which is the people being sold and put into the U.S. Our policy if to be passed would require TSA to have stricter rules on who can enter, as well as it would require the government to set up funding for this project. This topic can be controversial to people because since this is a wide problem it is hard to fix and many think it is a lost cause because the government hasn't found the right strategy yet to help fix the issue. But our team stans together and thinks that in order to help discontinue the sales and trafficking of people we need to work with other country's to really target the main source of the problem. Our team has felt very strongly in this issue because we believe that no human being should ever be sold let alone against there will.
Gay Marriage policy: Our team stand by the decision that gay marriage should be banned in the U.S. Gay marriage is when the same sex marries one another. Same sex marriage is now federally legal in all 50 U.S states but 32 states still have a states ban to it. This topic has been very controversial to many, because conservatives think that a marriage is between a man and a woman as it is said in the bible and is biblically incorrect. While others fight for the right that we all have been given rights to be with who ever they so chose. Same sex marriage has been fought against and for heavily because of how broad the differing opinions on the matter. Our team stans with that same sex marriage should not be legal in the U.S. the policy we want to make is that it will ban any kind of marriage license to be handed out in any state. our team stans for that marriage is meant for a man and a woman. We are not permitting any person to not date the same sex but to permit them from being legally married because of biblical and peoples values. Our team has this stance because a marriage is supposed to be between two individuals of a different sex so this bill will be passed in hopes of stopping anymore gay marriages.
$15 Federal Minimum Wage: We believe that we should not raise the federal minimum wage because it could cause more issues for those in impoverish communities. Jobs could be lost so we stand to keep the minimum wage as it is and not raise it. If it was risen, inflation could take over and many people would become homeless and they wouldn't be able to afford a living and a way to care for their families. Many of those who want to raise it, think that more money means more success, but we think that sustaining more money could cause issues and the value of a dollar would be less and eventually is would be useless if the Federal Minimum Wage is risen. This could cause the country to be in debt and other issues for an average American household.
Russia - Ukraine War, What are we Doing?: This war started in 2014 and this happened because the Russians wanted to make Ukraine "demilitarize and de-nazified". For this war, we believe that we should not do anything as it could cause more problems. We are willing to shelter those who are not safe there, but we will not be sending any soldiers into the war to protect our own and try our best to care for others. Our team supports the Ukraine side of the war as they were not at fault. We have decided to help them and be as supportive as we can although, it will be from a distance. The Debut party supports Ukraine because we see it as they are in the unfair position and are seen as the "underdogs". We want to help them by providing shelter and other necessities. We are also willing to fly others over from Ukraine to protect them and provide shelter.
Trust Policy: The Trust policy is the law enforcing competition between companies, meaning that it regulates all of the corporations and companies to all the same resources. However, the policy sees expansion as cheating and small business cannot thrive under this. We believe that we should revise the Trust policy and division because it is causing issues for companies because expansion is viewed as violation of the trust policy. Small businesses could be lost and the economy would be lost to big corporations and this would lead to the downfall of Western society. Some of those who want to strongly enforcement have ways to hide from the Trust policy, meaning they could get away with expansion but your local donut store could be forced into bankruptcy.
Healthcare for all: Healthcare for all is where all people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them. For all is a controversial term because some people would misuse this opportunity, certain jobs would not get enough money so they would be forced to find new jobs that pay, and money problems. We are against this policy because it has many negative outcomes. This bill would come with having to raise taxes, which we are sure no one will enjoy, but most of all we are worried about what would happen with the amount of people that will quit their jobs because of not enough pay. What we will do is give people who are in need, like the military or homeless people, insurance for their healthcare.
Climate change: In the dictionary climate change is “a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.” Some people do not exactly believe in climate change, other people have just given up on finding a solution to climate change, some are trying to find other solutions, and the rest just do not care. We are going to find more renewable or friendly resources like nuclear power to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases produced. One of the main reasons that is causing climate change is burning fossil fuels releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. (A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy at thermal infrared wavelengths, causing the greenhouse effect.)
Countering Terrorism: The United States has been the victim of several terrorist attacks, such as the 9/11 attacks, the KKK attacks in the 1960s, and many others. Terrorist pose a very dangerous threat to the safety of people in the country. We believe that for the safety of American people, we will increase law enforcement by diverting some military services to police in major cities to decrease suspicious activity going unnoticed and this could save thousands, if not millions of lives.
