What We Do

  

We will aid Americans in choosing leaders based upon the content of their character, the truthfulness of their words and the impact of their deeds. 


We will elect those who believe in the American dream, strong families and in our Constitution - which our Founders knew could work only for moral and righteous people.


We will help put into power, those who believe that government’s role in society is to secure our rights - not to create or dispense them, and that the rule of law shall never be supplanted.  


We will choose leaders who understand that there is right, and there is wrong.  And in that choosing, contemporary edicts shall not eclipse the Wisdom of the Ages, upon which our American Constitution is founded, and to which our country's preeminence is inextricably linked.

OUR PRINCIPLES & VALUES

1) The immediate and extended family unit is an indispensable characteristic of our Country’s past and future.

2) Quality education, hard work, delayed gratification and a healthy environment are fundamental to achieving the American dream.

3) Legal immigration shall be the only kind of immigration. 


The integrity of America’s borders is vital for our national security.

4) No country can borrow or print its way to prosperity, including America. 


Deficits do matter. 


America cannot be a military superpower, if it is not an economic superpower.

5) America’s laws shall apply equally to every citizen, including those in Congress, the Executive and Judicial branches.

6) America’s judges shall singularly interpret laws, not create them.

7) American elections shall be free, fair, transparent and auditable.

8) The Constitution and the Bill of Rights shall be esteemed, upheld and defended.

9)  We shall not judge others. 


On the contrary, rather than disparage others' lifestyles, politics, words or associations, we shall lead by example, guided by our mission and values.

10)  My body, my choice is not a slogan to be used when expedient, but a natural, God-given right, which Americans' birthright guarantees.    

11)  If the choice is made to end a pregnancy, the law must, to the greatest extent possible, invoke the principles of the Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm," principally regarding the life of the mother and nextly, the life and wellbeing of the fetus or unborn child.

11)  If the choice is made to end a pregnancy, the law must, to the greatest extent possible, invoke the principles of the Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm," principally regarding the life of the mother and nextly, the life and wellbeing of the fetus or unborn child. 

 

Note: We acknowledge that this subject is painful and polarizing, but believe that this prototypical "Pro-Chlife" (pRo-CHA-life) position, a pro-choice and pro-life hybrid, moves the issue in a positive direction, one that rights advocates will find affirms choice, while at the same time, saves lives.

12)  Redesign healthcare by the use of competition, technology, transparency and encourage personal responsibility for healthier lifestyles. 


Provide a healthcare safety net for vulnerable Americans who cannot work and those not of working age. 


Provide dollar for dollar tax credits for all healthcare expenditures.

13) Many of the implements we use in our everyday lives, placed in the wrong hands, can be lethal.  The foregoing list is vast, but only a single item on that list has the distinction of mention in the U.S. Constitution - guns...or more precisely, Arms.

13) Many of the implements we use in our everyday lives, placed in the wrong hands, can be lethal.  The foregoing list is vast, but only a single item on that list has the distinction of mention in the U.S. Constitution - guns...or more precisely, Arms.

  

Our Founders spoke of arming "the body of the people" as "the best most natural defense of a free country."  However, they also envisioned that Americans would be trained and part of a "well regulated" group (militia) constituted to act as a fail-safe to defend the liberty they treasured.


Experience taught our Founders what many Americans have feared since 1776, that lost liberty often follows the elimination of the right to bear Arms.  


That said, an open-minded, respectful discussion regarding the imperative to keep guns out of the hands of people intent on killing is overdue and necessary.  However, it is obligatory to be mindful that any solution not violate the enumerated Constitutional Right to defend, which so many law-abiding Americans cherish.


There will be a solution, and it probably begins with the formation of "well regulated" State and local militias, that will welcome everyday Americans to join hands to learn and enhance their weapons skills, while at the same time protecting and serving their fellow Americans.


The solution probably ends with an unprecedented and revolutionary arrangement whereby the killers and potential killers in our society are denied the right, to buy or own any Arm whatsoever, while law-abiding Americans, continue to freely exercise theirs.


Any solution however will require that all views be received with respect, not demagogued.  When that happens, the discussion can lead to common ground and the resolution we all so fervently want, will likely be at hand.





14) The income tax rate should be low.  It should allow Americans to keep most of what they earn and be equally applied to every taxpayer above the poverty line.  


However, Americans with extraodinary incomes of over $1M should pay a reasonable, (fair share) premium, based upon a gradually increasing sliding scale; but never more than twice the rate paid by everyone else.

15) All of government's promises will ultimately fall upon each American to honor (to pay for).  A very large number of those promises, like Social Security, Medicare, State pensions and the like at this time are unmanageable, unsustainable and in their current form, unrealizable.  


Just like every American family must balance its budget, 

15) All of government's promises will ultimately fall upon each American to honor (to pay for).  A very large number of those promises, like Social Security, Medicare, State pensions and the like at this time are unmanageable, unsustainable and in their current form, unrealizable.  


Just like every American family must balance its budget, the government must do so also.  Not doing so is inescapably leading to America's financial downfall, and then worse.

16) Our schools should be solely judged on the performance and success of its students.   Children must come first over every other consideration. 


Education must be decentralized, reclaimed from the bureaucratic establishment and returned to State and local control.  Professional, fairly paid teachers are an integral part of the solution.

Education must be decentralized, reclaimed from the bureaucratic establishment and returned to State and local control.  Professional, fairly paid teachers are an integral part of the solution.  


In the effort to fix our schools, the formation of a federally funded children's union, populated only by parents, would be a constructive step forward, and a healthy counterbalance among the other powerful educational unions.

17) The earth and our environment sustain humanity's existence. We must respect and care for it, while working hard to find new, clean and innovative ways to produce energy.  


Life is a balancing act.  Managing all the moving parts involved in the transition to cleaner forms of energy should be undertaken with creative tax and other incent

17) The earth and our environment sustain humanity's existence. We must respect and care for it, while working hard to find new, clean and innovative ways to produce energy.  


Life is a balancing act.  Managing all the moving parts involved in the transition to cleaner forms of energy should be undertaken with creative tax and other incentives that spur progress and encourage voluntary participation in the effort.

18) A fair day's work, for a fair day's pay, is a long held American aphorism.  


Americans that can work, should work for many reasons, not the least of which is that work provides one with the dignity of moving towards an independent, self-sufficient life.  Work benefits not only the worker, but society in a virtuous cycle that helps othe

Americans that can work, should work for many reasons, not the least of which is that work provides one with the dignity of moving towards an independent, self-sufficient life.  Work benefits not only the worker, but society in a virtuous cycle that helps others who can't work.  


Incentives of every kind should be instituted to promote and celebrate work, and our American work force.

19) Crime is poisonous, violent crime is intolerable, and the fact is, Americans are helpless as they are not capable or responsible to stop either, only our leaders are.  


Permissive or compassionate laws have failed to reduce crime.

19) Crime is poisonous, violent crime is intolerable, and the fact is, Americans are helpless as they are not capable or responsible to stop either, only our leaders are.  


Permissive or compassionate laws have failed to reduce crime. 


The long-term solution to crime, while instituting fair and firm laws, must also incorporate early quality educational intervention, healthy family life, a connection to biblical, morality, non-theistic or other enlightenment instruction, so-called tough-love and a safe environment within which to undertake all of the foregoing.  

20) From the first days of our Republic, President George Washington warned against "foreign entanglements."  This advice has proven to be prophetic.  America has drained its treasury by trillions and spilled the blood of our brave warriors in the last few decades- with little to show for it.

20) From the first days of our Republic, President George Washington warned against "foreign entanglements."  This advice has proven to be prophetic.  America has drained its treasury by trillions and spilled the blood of our brave warriors in the last few decades- with little to show for it. 

 

Our safety and security are accomplished, not through fighting repeated wars, but through an accumulation of great strength which deters adventurism and aggression from our enemies. 


Profound truisms, such as the ones below, which were visionary thousands of years ago and remain so today, should accompany any appetite for conflict:


“There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.”


“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”


“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”


Sun Tzu, The Art of War


There will of course be some conflicts that cannot be avoided, however, many likely can and should be.

Wisdom Which Guides Us

“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”   James Madison


"Economists don't forecast because they know, they forecast because they are asked."   John Kenneth Galbraith


“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”   George Bernard Shaw


“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what to eat for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”   Benjamin Franklin


"Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it."   Mark Twain 


“Among the countless evils that bring about the demise of whole states, these four are surely the most critical: internal discord, high mortality, infertility of the soil, and deterioration of money. The first three are so apparent that hardly anyone would contest them. The fourth evil, however, stemming from the nature of money, is noticed only by those few who think deeply, for it causes the states to crumble not at one fell swoop, but gradually, near-invisibly.”  Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) 


"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.”   George Orwell  


“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”  Plato  

  

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."  Arthur Schopenhauer


"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."  Albert Einstein


"I, however, place economy {thrift} among the first and most important Republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt... I am for government rigorously frugal and simple."  Thomas Jefferson


“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."  Confucius
