Platform & Issues

The economy of the United States has never been weaker, or in greater danger of collapse in the history of this nation.  In terms of numbers of people affected now, our unemployment rate is worse today than it was during the Great Depression of 1929.  Today people make less money with fewer hours and fewer jobs to hold.  The jobs that are available pay less and are primarily service type jobs.  The high paying manufacturing jobs have high tailed it out of the United States and overseas where governments aren’t as hostile to them as our own government is.

We must dismantle the Internal Revenue Service and replace it with a flat tax or a federal sales tax or the Fair Tax.  I also believe we should repeal the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

• The Federal Government will do nothing to weaken the armed forces of the United States of America.  I believe in a strong national defense.
• This nation will honor and defend the friends and allies of this country and will honor past treaties.
• Foreign aid to nations hostile to the United States will no longer be provided. 

• I will demand that all provisions of the Constitution be adhered to and I will defend it from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
• No person is above the law.  Let’s identify and ensure that the perpetrators responsible for the worst financial swindle the world has ever experienced are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
• I will work to decrease the size of the federal government and to restore the rightful balance of power granted to the individual States as stated in the United States Constitution.

• Illegal Immigrants will be deported the moment they are discovered.
• Current immigration laws will be strengthened, observed and enforced.
• A fence will be built along the U.S. southern border and will be monitored by Border Patrol, National Guard troops or the United Stated military to keep out persons not legally eligible to be on U.S. soil.
• Foreign workers will be allowed to work in this nation, but once the job is completed, they will return to their country of origin.
• Any taxes due and owing to the United States or any governmental authority will be paid.
• English is the official language of the land for private and public business.  Immigrants will be required to read and write English well enough to conduct everyday business.  Translation of official government or business documents will no longer be provided. 

• Parents have the right to discipline their children and will have the right to determine what is morally correct.
• Parents should have the right to send their children to the school of their choice, and their tax dollars should follow their children by using school vouchers and private money.
• K-12 education will focus on the “three Rs:” Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.  Complex controversial social and moral issues have no place in the K-12 classroom.
• When a child’s sexual education begins will be determined by the child's parents.  The State will no longer have the right to teach our children what is morally correct.  That responsibility rests with the child’s parents. 

I believe in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Gun ownership is a right that will not be infringed.

We will explore and exploit all natural resources of this nation wherever they occur.  We will mine coal and drill for offshore oil in ecological sensitive areas if national interests call for it.  If any business entity damages the ecology or economical interests of a region, they will be held completely responsible for all present and future damages.

Welfare will only be available to those who truly need it.  Those who can work will work.  Those receiving welfare or any form of public assistance will pass random drug tests in order to continue receiving assistance.
