Who We Are

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.

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.

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.  

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 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 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. 

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. 

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.
