"2nd Amendment ~ A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security for a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The above language of the second amendment, a single sentence, is the shortest most clearly stated of any amendment in our constitution. Yet, these simple 27 words have been repeatedly distorted or obliterated by both Federal, State and Supreme Courts in their interpretation of the most simply and clearly stated law that makes up our Bill of Rights. What is not
We firmly believe that our existing tax code system, administered by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS), has become overly complex, unjust and outlived its effectiveness. What was once created as a taxing authority to simply raise the necessary funds needed by our government to prosecute the wars in which we were engaged and run our small government, has grown into a 'Green Monster' of bureaucracy. It has now been abused by our government to the point where it now threatens the financial stability and prosperity of all
Our Party, for a multitude of ethical and common sense reasons, stands strongly behind a Constitutional amendment that would impose term limits on both houses of Congress When our Founders wrote the constitution they never addressed the issue of term limits for either the Legislative or Executive branches of the government. Possibly, in more simpler times of trustworthy & honorable men, they didn't see the need to limit ones time in office. However, our nations first President did. George Washington after having served eight years
America was established by immigrants and has always been a nation of immigrants. Over the years, millions of people have come here in the hope that in America, you can make it if you try. Each successive wave of immigrants has contributed to our country's rich culture, economy and spirit. Like the immigrants that came before them, today's immigrants will shape their own destinies while enriching our country. Nonetheless, our current immigration system and policies has been broken for far too long. We need comprehensive immigration reform, not
Our National Security and economy is directly dependent on our country's fiscal responsibility and solvency. Governments reckless borrowing and spending with total disregard to the accumulation of debt or its repayment irrefutably threatens not only the stability of our country in the worlds financial markets but every industry, business sector, man, woman and child in this country for generations to come. In this time of economic and financial crisis, we must be better stewards of this economy and our governments spending and financial stability more than ever
The American people understand that good health is the foundation of individual achievement and economic prosperity. Ensuring quality, affordable health care for every single American is essential to children's education, workers' productivity and businesses' competitiveness. We strongly believe easily accessible health care coverage for all American citizens is not just an obligation, but is necessary to making our health care system workable and affordable for all, while implementing an insurance benefit program for the impoverished and less fortunate or those suffering from long term debilitating physical and
We believe its time to get back to basics in education. We need to reform and restructure our educational system from limiting the Federal governments role and regulations to the role of States and taxation methods. Our children's education belongs in the hands of the family and their community not government. Our families and children from grade school through college deserve a more open and responsive educational system with greater freedom of choice in the type of schooling at affordable cost. We further believe that the Federal Governments Department
For the sake of our national security -- for every American family that is paying the price at the pump -- and for every American tired of hearing past and present administrations proclaim how they will bring our energy crisis under control, we will finally break our addiction to foreign oil. The ARP will commit to take the required steps to bring an end to our total dependency on oil and move our country toward the use of clean and renewable energy. We will commit
Today, our country is again called to provide extraordinary leadership. This century's threats and terrorism are at least as dangerous as, and in many ways more complex than, those we have confronted in the past. They come from weapons that kill on a mass scale to violent extremists who exploit alienation and perceived injustice to spread their fear & terror. They come from rogue states allied to terrorists and from rising powers that could challenge both America and the international foundation of democracy. They
We should always strive to become the best possible stewards of our environment. And, it should always be each generations responsibility to protect & conserve our environment and natural resources in order to promote a better stable quality of life for our children and future generations. We should further encourage other developing nations to follow our lead by sharing our success, methods and technology so they may achieve similar results. However, our countries current political environment fueled by the extreme leftist, is hell bent on
