13-Point Program to Destroy America is the debut album by the American post-hardcore band Nation of Ulysses.[6][7] The album's title is in reference to the Black Panther Party's Ten Point Program and J. Edgar Hoover's propaganda pamphlet "Red China's Secret Plan to Destroy America."[8] The title of track #13 was inspired by Frank Sinatra's album Love is a Kick.

Tracks 14-16 on the CD are not on the original album, and are taken from their 1991 self-titled 7" debut.
