Major IssuesDefense
I have the utmost respect and admiration for our brave men and women who serve without question and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect us from evil. In return we as a people owe them more than could ever be repaid. Our military deserves nothing less than the very best equipment and armament available. That is one area where there can be no compromise. Being the 21st century we need to invest in new revolutionary tools of war to protect our military. I feel our Military is greatly un-appreciated I would call for an immediate 15 percent pay raise, dishonorably discharge any unmarried military person becoming pregnant while on active duty. We should withdraw immediately from the United Nations. Remove all Diplomats and staff. Convert the United Nations building into housing for the working poor. Peace through Superior firepower.
Immigration
Our borders have been open for years and god knows who all have come through and what dangers our own government has put us in due to their lack of enforcement. and impending amnesty for illegal aliens.
We need to enforce our laws punish companies that hire and offer places of residence to illegal’s. We need to turn away anyone at our hospitals that seek treatment at our expense. They should be fingerprinted and deported. If they are caught after being fingerprinted they should be sent to jail and punished to the fullest extent of the Law.
The 14th Amendment of the constitution should be repealed and close the loophole that allows anchor babies.
Health Care Health Care Choices for America
Health care reform is an issue on everyone’s mind. Two simple steps can be taken to enable more competition and lower rates and do not involve the government sticking their noses into our personal business. First and foremost is Tort Reform. Tort reform will cap the amount available through Law suits. I think if there is blatant negligence towards someone and a suit is filed there should not be a cap on what a person may collect. In most cases doctors would not blatantly bring harm to anyone, and in frivolous lawsuits there should be a cap allowing doctors to use their best and professional judgment to help a patient, thus unnecessary tests to determine that illness or injury of a patient need not be performed. When a frivolous lawsuit is filed the plaintiff and their council should be liable for all costs ensued on the defense of the case and all costs involved in the Court hearing the case instead of the defendant paying regardless of the outcome. Basically a loser pays system which will drastically reduce unwarranted Law suits toward Doctors and Hospitals. Which will bring down the cost of insurance for doctors which will allow us to have the best and brightest doctors available.
Second is Lifting the restrictions on interstate commerce of Insurance companies allowing more competition and allowing the free market to work the way it was intended. Insurance should not fall under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution due to it infringes on free market principles.
Economy
the economy Is probably the hardest subject to discuss. But I am never one to skirt an issue especially one as important as our lifeblood.
First and foremost STOP throwing money away by trying to spend our way out of a recession that has never worked and will never work.
NO MORE bailouts!!!
There is a saying "only the strong survive". And that is especially true with business. If you have a sound business plan and you execute it properly then you should be prepared for a down economy. If you are mismanaged or you do not prepare yourself then you will fail.
The entire crisis we are in can be traced back to Congress. Forcing banks to make loans they knew would default. If you do the research you will find the majority of defaulted loans were originally made to Illegal Aliens and people on government assistance. We are going backwards as far as the economy is concerned. We need to encourage companies to build facilities in the U.S. by lowering the Corporate tax rate.(Second highest rate in the world)
We need to place tariffs on foreign products. We need to revitalize the Manufacturing industry in America. We are at a point where we rely on foreign products entirely too much.
I believe in America and I believe in you, to make the best products in the world. Nothing works better than American made products.
We need to eliminate Income Tax. Income Tax was created only to help pay off World War I. It was never intended to be a permanent fixture in American society.
We need to institute a Fair Tax on products you buy, so if you buy a car for15, 000 you will pay the same percent in tax as you would if you bought a 15,000,000 airplane. Everyone pays the same amount based on what you buy.
The government has no right or business in the private sector General motors and Chrysler should be owned by American companies and given every opportunity to succeed by eliminating CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) Standards. The marketplace will dictate what people want to buy. If people want trucks they will build trucks, if people want a cardboard box with wheels that is what they will build.
Fuel economy doesn't matter much if people don't want to buy it. Gasoline should never reach last year’s $4.00 - $5.00 levels there is more than enough oil in the U.S. to last us at least a hundred years.
As we progress new fuels and alternative modes of transportation will emerge through Americans ingenuity and drive to be better
The Free Market works if the government would just get out of the way and let it flourish.Education
Education is another subject I feel that the federal government has no business in. The states should decide the proper education curriculum. The closer to the child that the education is decided, the more input that parents and society will have on properly educating our future. Parents have to take a more intimate role in our children’s education because the most important lessons learned are never written in a book. They are derived from the love and desire a parent has to see their children be more successful than them. I feel the education system should be taken out of the control of politicians. When you limit the exposure of children to the body politic and teach them more than you know then you will always have a better generation than the one before. Education is no place for political correctness or fairness a child should be judged solely on their performance and their knowledge of the materials taught. We should get back to what educated all of us.
Culture
Beyond the walls of our home lies a great Nation. There is a culture in this country whether spoken or unspoken that manifests itself in everything we say, do, or think. We teach our children about American Culture. We teach them to be good Americans by sharing our traditions of National Pride, Food, American Holiday’s, Craftsmanship, Entrepreneurship, Competition, Leadership, Know-How, and Positive Attitude. We believe we all have equal rights under the law. We expect American Industry to put out a quality product and for our Nation to be a leader in the world. Sometimes we even find ourselves spouting expectations of our Nation's performance or the performance of American Industry not realizing that unless we each live up to these expectations, our Nation and our Industries cannot. American culture is rich, complex, and unique. Only if we work together can we save our rich and diverse culture that our fathers and their fathers before them fought and sacrificed their lives to mold and grow into its current form and we cannot allow the few to destroy what has taken over 200 years to create.
Energy
Energy. Everyone uses energy we have to go to work, grocery store, heat and cool our homes. We should be energy independent. The whole idea that we are running out of oil is a scam. Oil was put here for us to use as an energy source it replenishes constantly don't be fooled by what the media tells you. Nuclear energy is a relatively safe and clean energy source. Wind and solar energy are flawed due to solar energy is determined by the weather if it is cloudy outside solar does not work. If it is not windy wind energy does not work. Neither will be sufficient to power a vehicle or a Tractor Trailer.
Therefore they are unreliable forms of energy collection.
until a better energy source is found we need to utilize what we have readily available to us. Global warming is a hoax in order to raise taxes and gain power over you. Fear is a powerful tool when used effectively.
But once a population is no longer ruled by fear then a politician or ruler can no longer keep his grip on power because knowledge is Power and the more knowledge you have the less likely the government can persuade you by a lie. While we inevitably will have to wait for our oil to come on line, we should require Mexico to provide us with 1 barrel of oil for every illegal in our country. At this time we are looking at approx. 30,000,000+ barrels a day. Iraq and Afghanistan should repay the United States for the cost of freedom with 2 trillion dollars worth of oil at $50.00 per barrel which would be approx. 200,000,000,000,000 barrels of oil that should last us until our own production can come online
Foreign Policy
Foreign Policy is extremely tricky generally best if you evaluate it on a case by case basis. But generally speaking Iraq and Afghanistan we need to use all means at our disposal to get the job done whether it is full scale invasion or deployment of Special Ops into a specific region. There is no reason why we should be fighting, 10 years later. get in get out philosophy get the job done. You can't make War a political issue then as we see it will never get done. It needs to be a military operation with the precision our military is known for. We need not be fearful to act swiftly and aggressively if American lives or American interests are at stake. As far as Iran is concerned they cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. They are an unstable government that needs to be removed either by being overthrown from within or precision invasion. The people of Iran are generally good people that need our assistance if the government is to be removed. The ideal scenario would be for an internal revolution to remove the government from the inside out. We need to block and mine their ports impose sanctions so that nothing goes in and nothing goes out.
China we need to impose tariffs on all products coming in to American soil until human rights issues and devaluation of their currency occurs. North Korea is barely hanging on as it is. We need to continue pressure on North Korea until all nuclear products are removed and they agree to forgo any future attempts at rearming themselves. Islamic Terrorists should be hunted down interrogated by whatever means necessary to extract needed information and be given swift Military tribunal and have sentence carried out immediately after. If you do not deal with them in force then they will consider it weakness.
Somali Pirates should have their bases taken out and sink all of their assault boats. be treated the same as terrorists and should be dealt with as such. You cannot negotiate with rogue dictators you must remain strong and unwavering.
Show no weakness and they shall always fear you.Domestic
We need to pass a law declaring English as the only acceptable Language of the United States.
Eliminate all public assistance for able-bodied recipients. Cut off all public assistance for immigrants for five years. Repatriate those who are not working, after two years.
Reduce Federal Government Departments in size by 5 percent each year, for a total reduction of size by 20 percent over four years.
Make abortions illegal, except when the physical survival of the mother is threatened, to be determined by three medical doctors. Require Norplant for all women on welfare of childbearing age.
Regulate Wall Street: End short selling. Try tycoons who profited from bailouts.
Encourage child bearing among taxpaying citizens. Create a marriage incentive, through lower taxes for married heterosexual couples. And a government subsidy for each child conceived and carried to birth. Increase the subsidies for each year the couple remains married.
Regarding the media; eliminate all foreign ownership of any American media entity. Break up overly large conglomerates.
Regarding the Fairness doctrine television and news outlets should be required to report the news not opinion. They news should be fair and unbiased The news should be the ultimate watchdog for the people instead it has become a tool to brainwash the public to a certain point of view.
Science
Technology is moving at a more rapid pace than ever in history.
Are we up to the challenge?
Everything from nano technology, Stem Cell Therapy to Robotics.
Technology goes hand in hand with each other. Nano technology offers so many opportunities that we haven't even thought of. Stem Cell Therapy has the opportunity to repair and heal people that have in the past had no chance at having a normal life. Technology is not something to be afraid of it is an opportunity if used with care and a watchful eye could revolutionize medicine and Technology forever. Robotics is the future and we need to recruit the very best minds to make robots all it can be. Like something out of Science Fiction Science has evolved and will continue to evolve the question you have to ask yourself.
Do you want to be the leader or the follower?
