Call to Action:
If you want results, you need to take action. Congressman Barney Frank, on the day of the National Equality March on Washington D.C., had this to say about the effectiveness of gathering:

[The march] "is a waste of time at best."
"Call or write your representative or senator, and then have your friends call and write their representative or senator," Frank said. "That's what the NRA does. That's what the AARP does."

Apparently, politicians do take note when they are slammed with hundreds or thousands of phone calls, emails, and letters. It's what it takes to get things done, and we need you to act NOW.

As your Congressional Representative, I will apply common-sense solutions to:

  • turn back the encroachment of federal government;
  • lower taxes (i.e. reduce spending);
  • secure America’s borders;
  • restore our fiscal health;
  • encourage individual responsibility;
  • respect private property and free markets;
  • uphold the value of human life, born and unborn;
  • repeal the Federal Law that requires citizens to buy health care. This is not reform - it's a takeover.

Government

For
Strict Adherence to the Constitution & Bill of Rights
States' Rights
Term Limits
Require U.S. Citizenship to Vote

Against
Big Government and/or Entitlements
Bailouts of any private industry
Turning private industry into government owned entities
Global Government / UN
Earmarks not pertaining to the Bill


I will uphold and adhere to the Constitution of the United States. I will read the Bills introduced by Congress. I believe that the government does not have the ability to solve all of our problems, and to take away all of our fears and concerns. I pledge that I will be the candidate promoting individual liberty, capitalism, and a strong national defense, and I will support policies that encourage such. It is my fundamental belief that limited government and greater individual responsibility will ensure the continued prosperity and success for future generations.


Economy

For
Free Market, Capitalist System
A Federal Mandate to Balance Yearly Budgets
Small Business Tax Breaks
Fair or Flat Tax
Energy Independence through Domestic Resources
Open Fair Trade with Columbia

Against
Bailouts for Companies "Too Big to Fail"
Federal Reserve's Excessive Power
Excessive Printing of Money
Excessive Borrowing & Spending
Unfair Business & Trade Restrictions
Card Check
Re-distribution of Wealth
Bailouts for Foreign Countries/Companies

I will reintroduce the concept of Urban Enterprise Zones with tax breaks for business ventures in our most blighted areas. We must encourage job growth and economic opportunities, particularly among the youth. Corporate job training programs must be rewarded by tax breaks. Our nation abounds in faith-based ministries with proven track records of success in breaking the cycle of poverty, and our government should support these successes.


Education

For
Tax Credits for School Choice
Academic Testing & Accountability
Fiscal Responsibility
Charter and Private Schools

Against
"No Child Left Behind" Program
Government as the Only Source for Student Loans
Sex Education at Inappropriate Age
Liberally Biased Curriculum

I pledge to save American children from the failing educational system. We need to break apart the alliance of elected officials and the teachers unions, which at best has institutionalized mediocrity and has failed children across the country. We need "CHOICE" in education and allow parents to decide the educational future of their children. I will fight for tax credits and choice of school for parents and their children.


Health Care

For
Health Care Reform
Individual, Portable Insurance
Judicial Tort reform
Allow states to put forth their own programs
Use Savings from Fraud Prevention for Uninsured
Fair Payment to Medical Providers

Against
Government Sponsored Abortion
Abdication of Rights of Most for the Benefit of a Few
Forced Purchase of a Plan
Indebting our Nation
Taxes on Medical Devices
Politicians' Exemptions to Proposed Bill
Government Funding of Planned Parenthood

I will look for Free-Market solutions to the problems facing the healthcare industry, and I will vigorously oppose any efforts to nationalize healthcare. I will fight for Individual health savings accounts, which includes "catastrophic insurance" for every American, so people can control their own healthcare choices. I will call for Tort reform to place a ceiling on lawsuit remedies to ease extravagant expense of mal practice insurance by doctors.


Energy

For
Energy Independence from Domestic Resources
Reduction of Dependence on Foreign Fuels
Research & Development of Alternative Energy Sources

Against
False Claims of Global Warming
Cap & Trade Taxes
Ethanol Production

I pledge to be a supporter of Energy Independence and I support Immediate drilling in Anwar and the 48 states. I support building new refineries, to begin building and using Nuclear Facilities, expand coal mining and be a realistic steward of the environment. All of this can be accomplished while simultaneously working with private industry to develop the new energy technologies for the future, with the goal being that America becomes completely energy independent.


Defense

For
Support of Strong, Advanced Military
Right for American Citizens to Bear Arms
Protection of Intelligence Agencies
Strong Role Model of Democracy
Border Control
Full Support of Israel

Against
U.S. Rights for Suspected Enemy Combatants
Illegal Immigration
United Nations

I am against the abandonment of plans to augment our missile defense shields to be placed within our Eastern European allies.
