Inalienable Rights:
We believe that man's "rights" flow from the Creator and the
rights of life, liberty, and justice cannot be legitimately
granted or rescinded by men.
Judeo-Christian Foundation:
We believe in the guiding force of moral law as expressed by the
Judeo- Christian ethic and contained in the Holy Scriptures of
these historic faiths.
Self-Government:
We believe that the
only answer to the current moral decline that our nation now
faces is a return to the beliefs and standards of morality which
our founding fathers placed into the Constitution. We believe
with the framers of that document when President Adams stated,
"This Constitution will not work except with a religious
people." We understand that the concept of self-government
begins with governing one’s self first, then family, community,
state, and nation.
Education:
We believe in the
rights of parents to a quality education for their children. We
support parental choice to create competition among the schools.
We must insure that no school or teachers union can compromise
the education of our children or advance a particular political
agenda at the expense of our future generation’s educations.
Taxes: We
believe that the federal tax system is abusive to the American
people while discouraging investment and growth. We believe in
growth-oriented tax policies which would gradually eliminate
punitive income taxes and move our tax system in the direction
of use taxes and sales taxes only.
Free Enterprise:
We believe in the
free enterprise system as the best hope for men and women to
fulfill their economic hopes and dreams. We know that the free
market is the most efficient and the least costly system to
deliver the highest quality goods and services at the lowest
price to the consumer. We will support only those who support
the free enterprise system through legislation to reduce or
eliminate intrusive government intervention in the marketplace.
Family:
We believe that the traditional American family, defined as any
persons related by blood, marriage of a man and a woman and/or
adoption, is the cornerstone of our American society, and the
government is duty bound to protect the integrity of the family
unit through legislation and taxation policies.
Sanctity of Life:
We believe that the
preborn child is a human being deserving the full protection of
the law.
National Defense:
We believe in a
strong and consistent national defense. We believe in victory
over, and not accommodation with, tyranny in any form or
philosophy.
Right to Bear Arms:
We believe in the
unqualified right of our citizens to keep and bear arms without
the intrusive hand of government.
Victims’ Rights:
We believe in the
concept of victims’ rights over the rights of any criminal. We
support a system of restitution as a deterrent to crime and
recidivism.
Term Limitation:
We believe that
public service is a privilege. We support term limits for public
officials, not as an ideal but as a necessity to dissuade career
politicians. It is the people who should rule, not an elite with
little accountability.
National
Sovereignty:
We believe in an
America first program in which Government’s first concern is the
welfare and protection of the American people. We do not believe
in trade protectionism but support political leaders who will
adopt policies that create fair and competitive trade.
Decentralized
Government: We believe in the power of the individual over
the power of the state. We believe that only small government
truly serves the needs of the people. |
