2012 Election Issues

We will need to turn over the Whitehouse and Senate and remove elected officials, who have refused to live within their means, exceeded their legitimate authority and weakened our economy.

Cut Spending

Cut federal government spending to match revenue as quickly as possible. Ron Paul’s pledge to cut $1 trillion the first year is the kind of progress we need. Immediately cut all military and other foreign aid, quit the U.N. and all other globalist organizations. Reverse all U.N Agenda 21 implementation from all levels of government. Eliminate all federal grants. In 2013, eliminate all constitutionally non-compliant federal departments and agencies and give these responsibilities to the states. This would restore the 10th Amendment limits to the federal government. Give all federal lands back to the states.

Cut Unemployment

Immediately cut legal immigration for 2013 from 1 million a year to under 100,000 a year allow states to enforce their illegal immigration laws and secure the Mexican border. Raise import tariffs to 6%. Reduce corporate taxes to 5% for manufacturing companies who manufacture in the U.S.

Increase Production

Remove all regulations prohibiting or obstructing U.S. oil and natural gas drilling, mining and tree harvesting. Build the oil pipeline from Canada. Drastically reduce the endangered species list and cease government enforcement. Sell all wildlife preserves, wetlands and buffer zones to U.S. citizens to be put back into production.

Other Reforms

Repeal Obamacare, Dodd – Frank and any other Constitutionally non-compliant federal laws. Direct the Federal Reserve to submit to an audit, cease all money printing and begin to pull back the 300% increase in the money supply it created. Pass “no bail-out” laws. Subsidies should be reduced and ended.

Entitlement Reforms

Social Security should remain unchanged for current and near-term recipients, but should be planned to comply with the Constitution and handled by the states. Federal Education and Healthcare regulations should be repealed and cost reduction steps taken in these industries. Government funding of all industries should be reduced and ended. Federal government involvement in lending should be reduced and ended.
