Here, you can find our positions on certain issues within and outside of the United States.
Background Checks
When it comes to gun control, we believe that firearms should be regulated, but not heavily restricted. Owning firearms in the US is a person's right, but there is an evident necessity for some sort of control. We believe in expanding the United States' background check system to be implemented universally. Background checks ensure that citizens of the US can still freely obtain a firearm, while keeping the general populous safe from people who threaten the safety and livelihood of others. We also believe that minor offenses such as shooting a deer when it is not open season should not result in a revoking of their gun license. By voting for Wuerflein, you are both keeping our rights secure and keeping our country safe.
Hong Kong
A major issue recently is the protests in Hong Kong. If you vote for us we plan to grant political asylum to protesters whose lives are being threatened by the Chinese government. We believe that Hong Kongers fighting for their rights should be protected. The people that we grant asylum will have extensive background checks run on them to ensure that they do not present a threat to the United States government and citizens. We believe it is not only our responsibility but our privilege to help a country fight for the same freedom we fought for.
Health
I believe to lessen the number of eating disorders in this country. We need to stop editing pictures of models to a point where their appearance is not humanly possible. We also need to educate the general public about the dangers eating disorders present to the American people. I propose that the government should pay dietitians and other trained health professionals to instruct children about what it means to be healthy. The American people deserve to know that healthy doesn’t mean thin. Healthy means being able to do what you want to do when you want to do it.
Afghanistan
When we make decisions, we don’t always think of the consequences. I believe that is what happened when President Biden made the decision to remove American troops from Afghanistan. Biden indirectly caused hundreds of new cases of depression because the soldiers feel like everything, they did in Afghanistan was worthless. We need to get our troops back into Afghanistan so we can protect millions of women and children.
Burning the Flag
The NOVUS party respects our county and its leaders even if we don’t agree with them. We find that it is extremely rude to burn the flag of any country especially their home country, and it is an affront to the those who died under the flag. If you vote for us we will make it illegal to burn the American flag. Anyone who burns the American flag will be fined $1,000. As American citizens we need to respect our country.
F-35
Since the adoption of the F-35 into the US armed forces, it has been criticized by many as being too expensive and unnecessary, and they believe its production should be cancelled. We here at the NOVUS Party believe that the F-35 should remain in production, as it is a very misunderstood aircraft. Many of those who make arguments against the F-35 lack any comprehensive knowledge of aircraft, nor do they understand the role it plays in the military. The F-35 is housed with advanced technology which puts our military at an advantage, even against world powers such as Russia. It is too valuable of an asset to be cancelled.
Yemen Civil War
The Yemeni civil war is a big issue. The Yemeni government has faced changes in power since 2014. A question has arisen: should the US help, or ignore the war going on? The best policy would be to help the people in Yemen. The people fighting the war are facing hardships, and many are even dying, so we should help them. Then comes the question, what side should we help? If we help, and lose, the winning side might try to attack the US. We should try to help the people not in power, as it would help more people, and they can’t help themselves as much.
Tracking Firearm Transactions
Gun control can be good in some situations. NOVUS believes that the US should monitor all gun transactions and the guns themselves. This is helpful because then the US can know whether or not the gun is being sold again, and also so they can track all guns that were near a crime scene. However gun control can also be bad. Statistics show that guns are used defensively between 300,000 and 2,000,000 times a year. Removing guns would do nothing-criminals could probably still find guns on the black market, and no one else would try to get a gun, so criminals would have a huge advantage.
Criminal Justice System
We believe more money should be put into the criminal justice system because there are too many people that seem to being wrongfully accused of so many crimes. We also need to put more money into prisons so that they do not become so overpopulated. The NOVUS Party will also bring more background checks to guns so that will help lessen any firearm crimes.
COVID-19 Policy
COVID has been spreading for the past 2 years now, and it seems like every time we try to resume our normal lives, it continues to get worse. If Wuerflein becomes president, the NOVUS Party will try to enforce harsher rules to try and prevent it from spreading as much. Many people feel as if the mask does not work so we might have to come up with a way so that people that feel that they don’t want to wear a mask don’t spread or get the virus.
