Civil Liberties
Our Founding Fathers created the Constitution to protect our personal liberty from our government. Washington DC needs leaders willing to stand up for our constitutionally protected rights.
NDAA and indefinite detention are unacceptable infringements on the rights of the people. All Americans are entitled to due process. I will do everything I can to protect your rights against government oppression.
Economy
Our government imposes over 150,000 pages of federal regulations on businesses. It is naive to believe more regulations are needed to fix our economy. These laws serve one purpose, to protect corporations from competing in a free market.
Very few politicians in Washington DC understand the true obstacles of economic growth. Our economy’s main obstacle is our own government. American jobs are being killed by our government’s over regulation of small businesses and the burdens of complex federal tax laws. Many more American jobs will be outsourced overseas until we tackle the real causes of our economic problems. I will work with both parties to achieve meaningful economic reform.
Federal Reserve
The Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional syndicate controlled by elite bankers. The Federal Reserve’s single intention is to make the world’s wealthiest people even wealthier. Our dollar is being devalued to bailout banks overseas. America’s poor and middle class are harmed the most by the actions of the Federal Reserve.
Unfortunately, most Americans are unaware of how much money the Federal Reserve prints and to whom that money is given. This must change. The Federal Reserve must be audited and gradually dismantled. The printing and distribution of currency must be returned to congress.
Foreign Policy
One of the federal government’s most important responsibilities is protecting our nation from foreign enemies. We need to maintain a powerful military, but we must strategically reorganize our defense budget. Not every penny spent on defense is being used wisely. We must also re-analyze the War on Terror.
Our nation currently gives more foreign aid to Israel’s enemies than they do to Israel. How is that a rational foreign policy? For the most part, foreign aid consists of taking money from America’s middle class and giving it to rich dictators overseas. Gradually, we should end the practice of foreign aid. We can start by cutting foreign aid to countries whose citizens regularly burn our flag.
Second Amendment
Americans have the right to own firearms. The purpose of the Second Amendment is to overthrow our own government if it becomes too tyrannical. Like most Americans, I understand this very simple concept. I will oppose all gun control legislation.
GMO Food
How can genetically modified vegetables that repel bugs be as good for your children as natural vegetables? I believe God made our fruits and vegetables perfect. Genetically modified ingredients should be labeled. People should have the ability to make a more informed decision when feeding their children.
Water/Environment
Our water, wildlife, and natural resources must be protected. We can reduce pollution without over regulating our businesses. I will promote legislation that balances our economic needs without compromising the safety of the environment. I will also promote legislation to remove fluoride from tap water.
Internet Regulations
The internet has created a revolution of information. It is truly a shining example of the free market. I will fight against legislation like SOPA and CISPA to keep the internet free from government over-regulation.
Medical Marijuana
How can the government tell a dying cancer patient not to use marijuana to treat their illness? How can the government tell a wounded veteran that he can not use marijuana to treat the pain of his war injuries?
Government has no place second guessing decisions made between doctors and individuals. Like it, or not, research has shown marijuana to be a valuable treatment option. I will promote legislation to protect medical marijuana users from federal prosecution.
