Key Issues

Government
Cut the size and spending of the federal government by 50%. Re-evaluate. If it's still too big, cut it again.

Free Markets
The government should only intervene in the economy on the rarest of occasions, and only when the public overwhelmingly demands it. Otherwise, get out of the way and let the market work.

Health Care
The exploding cost of health care will only be made worse with government involvement. Common-sense solutions include the following:

ObamaCare - Repeal this disastrous legislation before it wrecks the world's greatest health care system and the economy.

Tort Reform - Get the medical malpractice lawyers out of health care. Arbitration is better and cheaper for everyone.

Competition - Allow HMOs to compete across state lines. This will bring lower costs and better quality.

No Freebies - Providing gold-plated health care for illegals and others who don't pay places a heavy burden on all.

National Defense
Peace comes through strength. Stop bending over backward to get the rest of the world to like us. We should get our friends to respect us and our enemies to fear us.

Entitlements
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlement programs are bankrupting America. Transfer all entitlement programs from the federal government to state governments, and let the states make entitlement decisions. This will bring accountability closer to the people and reduce fraud and waste.

Income Tax
Constitutionally eliminate all income tax in the United States and replace it with a national sales tax. Eliminate the I.R.S.

Judiciary
Far too much power has been quietly stolen over the years by the judiciary. The Constitution never granted any judge or court the power to create or strike down law--that is the power of the Congress. There have been thousands of outrageous cases of judges overturning the will of the people. This must be stopped.

Budget
The federal government should spend less than it brings in, and continuously look for ways to cut its own size and cost.

Illegal Immigration
Secure the border, enforce the laws, and send the illegals home. We will welcome them back when they come legally.

Abortion
It's wrong; life is sacred.

Gay Marriage
Marriage must remain sacred, and continue to be defined as the legal union of a man and a woman.

Environment
We all want clean air and water. But stop using the environment as a front for pushing radical socialism.

Global Warming / Climate Change
It's a scam that benefits politicians on the climb and scientists on the take. Stop using this as an excuse to rob the taxpayers and push a radical socialist agenda.
