Congressional Term Limits  ~  Reduce the size of the Federal Government  ~  Fair Tax
10th Amendment Commission  ~ Enumerated Powers Act ~ 18 Functions of Congress

2nd Amendment
The Declaration of Independence states clearly; the power belongs to the people. The right to keep and bear arms is the determining factor in protecting our liberty against the inevitable desires of government to control our lives under the pretense of taking care of us.

Homeland Security
The primary function of the federal government is to protect United States citizens through a strong national defense. The armed forces must have the capacity to defend our country's strategic and vital interests at home and abroad. If and when American soldiers - our sons and daughters - are placed in harm's way defending our rights and liberties, the actions of the military should be quick and decisive. There must be a clear strategy for victory which is defined by the defeat of the enemy at all costs. Nothing less is acceptable!

Immigration
The federal government must secure  the borders by enforcing the laws we currently have. This includes, no amnesty for illegal immigrants and the encouraging of legal immigration that proves to be in best  interests of the United States. Congress is charged with these responsibilities.

Energy

Energy independence  ~ Drill Here / Drill Now ~ Begin the process of building nuclear and oil production and refining facilities, while our engineers  and research facilities continue to develop the new technologies for the future.

Federal Taxes

All taxes must be collected by the various states. The federal government will determine the relevant costs to fund and maintain the 18 functions of the enumerated powers and send to the states a per capita bill.

With regards to state taxation, no American citizen should ever live in fear of losing their life, liberty, or property due to taxes. Under our current system, property owners will lose their property due to non-payment. Currently, the Fair Tax is the only system that meets this requirement and is the only system that will return from off shore accounts, investments, etc. $13 trillion which more than doubles the estimated $11 trillion U.S. economy.

Budgets and the Economy

The U.S. Constitution grants no authority to the Executive and Legislative branches' of government to nationalize private or public sector businesses  or industries ~ The "General Welfare" clause  in Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution IS a limitation on the powers of Congress that restricts regulation and spending to one of the specifically enumerated powers ~ The "Interstate Commerce Clause" does not permit Congress to regulate matters that merely affect commerce among the States. It only permits Congress to regulate (which is to "keep regular") the commerce between and among the various states ~ Balanced budgets according to fiscally conservative principles.

Education

Education is a 10th Amendment issue, the federal government has no constitutional authority to interfere

with or regulate the public and private sector educational system in our country ~ The control of the system must be kept at the local level ~ The fundamentals of Personal Finance, Basic Economics, Personal Responsibility, and Self Governance  must be taught ~ Tort Reform -  educators and administrators will be exempt from all civil litigation ~ Eliminate the Department of Education

Health Care

Tort reform and putting consumers in charge of their health-care decisions are the key components in lowering medical and insurance costs ~ Consumers must have a financial stake in their health-care decisions. Make tax exempt all medical related expenses and allow purchasing of insurance policies in the free market ~ Eliminate state mandates and allow purchasing of catastrophic insurance ~ Health Savings Accounts and optional coverage for Medicare patients.

Social Security
Protect United States citizens who have paid into and rely on Social Security ~ Future generations of Americans must be educated and encouraged to develop the financial skills and discipline to fund their own retirements, including Health Savings Accounts, HSAs, and Individual Retirement Accounts, IRAs.
