Inalienable Rights: I 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man’s “rights” flow from the Creator and the rights of life, liberty, and justice cannot be legitimately granted or rescinded by men.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: I believe in the guiding force of moral law as expressed by the Judeo- Christian ethic and contained in the Holy Scriptures.
Self-Government: I 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.” I understand that the concept of self-government begins with governing one’s self first, then family, community, state, and nation.
Private Property Rights: I believe that Private Property Rights are the cornerstone of any free system. The intent of the Founding Fathers was for all Americans to have maximum freedom to enjoy and use Private Property. The primary difference between the United States and any nation with a controlled economy are the doctrines of Property and Human Rights. Property Rights and Human Rights are integrally linked. Therefore, when any citizen’s right to use Property is abused, personal freedoms are diminished for all Americans.
Education: I believe in the rights of parents to a quality education for their children. I 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: I believe that the federal tax system is abusive to the American people while discouraging investment and growth. I 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: I believe in the free enterprise system as the best hope for men and women to fulfill their economic hopes and dreams. I 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.
Family: I 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: I believe that all human life is sacred, from the pre-born to the old and infirm.
National Defense: I believe in a strong and consistent national defense. I believe in victory over and not accommodation with, tyranny in any form or philosophy.
Right to Bear Arms: I believe in the unqualified right of our citizens to keep and bear arms without the intrusive hand of government.
Victims’ Rights: I believe in the concept of victims’ rights over the rights of any criminal.
