Federal Visibility, Military Efficiency, and Transparency in Action
2028 Presidential Campaign of Martin A. Ginsburg, RN
February 2, 2026
I. Introduction: Restoring the President to the People
The Office of the President is not an abstraction confined to the capital. It is a visible, active, and responsive presence in the life of the nation. A presidency of integrity is not one of isolation, but of structured proximity to the governed, accountability to the public, and operational transparency in all affairs.
This campaign proposes a disciplined structure for state engagement, foreign relations, executive mobility using military infrastructure, and radical transparency in all scheduling and expenditures.
In-person town-hall–formatted talks are intended to demonstrate this candidate’s understanding that speaking to the people is not nearly as important as speaking with the people who own their government.
II. State Engagement Plan: Two Visits Per State, Per Term
Total commitment: 50 states × 2 visits = 100 distinct state visits over one four-year term
A. Structure of Visits
Each state will receive two uniquely purposed visits:
Visit One: Governance Access - Meetings with the Governor, legislative leadership, and Attorney General - Public town hall in the federal congressional district housing the state capital - Real-time casework and engagement by federal agency representatives - All U.S. Senators and Representatives from the state invited to attend and participate
Visit Two: Civic Listening Across Districts - Conducted in central hubs designed to provide access to multiple congressional districts - Civic forums emphasizing open questioning, complaint resolution, and policy dialogue - Federal agencies onsite to assist constituents directly - Participation by elected federal officials again welcomed and facilitated
B. Visit Duration and Timing
Each visit spans seven full calendar days:
100 visits × 7 days = 700 presidential days reserved
These visits are distributed evenly over four years to prevent disruption by global or domestic contingencies.
C. Public Accountability
Post-visit accountability includes: - A 10-day public report outlining key issues, federal responses, and assigned follow-up responsibilities - Filing of each report with the Executive Office of the President and public posting online
“The President must belong to all the people—so the President must go to all the people.”
III. Global Engagement and Diplomacy Timeframe
Foreign engagement is essential to national security, economic competitiveness, and multilateral stability.
A. Allocation of International Travel
The President shall reserve 50 full weeks over four years for international engagement (approximately 12.5 weeks per year), including: - UNGA, NATO, APEC, G7, G20, and WTO summits - Bilateral state visits - Emergency humanitarian or security site visits - Strategic trade missions and treaty consultations
These engagements reinforce diplomatic presence, early awareness of partner needs, and the visible commitment of the United States to its allies and trading partners.
B. Travel Reporting
All international engagements will be pre-scheduled with: - Strategic objectives - Participating agencies - Budget estimates and post-trip disclosures
No more than two consecutive weeks may be spent abroad without a return to U.S. soil.
IV. Domestic Time Anchoring in the Capital
To ensure accountability to core executive functions, the President will reserve 50 full weeks of personal attendance in Washington, D.C., over the term (approximately 12.5 weeks per year).
This time is dedicated to: - Executive orders - Federal agency performance review - Congressional sessions and bill negotiation - Constitutional duties, including State of the Union addresses and nominations
V. Presidential Travel and Lodging Reform

These days are tracked, disclosed, and distinguished from personal vacation time.
