Presidential Candidates Must Pass Military Grade Psych Evaluation
As Commander-In-Chief of our armed forces, the president should be held to at least as high a standard of mental fitness as the troops for which he or she is responsible. We call upon Congress and President Obama to pass this requirement into law immediately and require all 2016 presidential candidates to submit to a military grade psychological evaluation and that the results be made public prior to Election Day 2016.
Why is this important?
The 2016 presidential campaign is unique in the history of our nation in that it is the first time that the sanity of one of the candidates has been called repeatedly into question based upon documented statements and actions. The American people have been exposed to a barrage of messages both online and in other forms of media which blurr the lines between entertainment and news. I believe many voters are no longer able to judge the mental fitness of a candidate due to prolonged exposure to an unprecidented amount of biased, inaccurate, and deliberately deceptive information about both candidates. When faced with what we now know is the very real possibility that we could elect a mentally unstable person to the office of president, it is only prudent that we take steps to prevent this now and going forward. The future of our Democracy and our very lives is at stake.
