About Us
Who We Are
We're for...
We're in favor of...
National Security
We believe that there can be no prosperity in our nation without the protection of strong and well funded military and intelligence forces.
Small Government/Government Reform
We believe that as a government grows it inevitably strays from its most fundamental responsibilities of protecting us from ourselves and others. The restoration of this fundamental role is needed which is why we support reforms that would result in the reduction of the scope and size of government.
Free Market Economy
We believe that free and fair competition will always benefit American consumers and will consistently yield a prosperous economy.
Small Business
We believe that one of the great economic assets of our nation is its entrepreneurial spirit embodied in the indispensable small business community.
Pro-Life
We believe that it is the duty of our government to defend all life which we define as "at the point of conception".
Israel
We believe that this nation (The United States of America) enjoys a natural solidarity with the people of Israel and support them in their desire for a peaceful but strong and secure coexistence with their neighbors.
Environment and Conservation
We believe that the God given natural beauty and resources of this nation should be managed and maintained in a manner that is beneficial to our environment as well as our economy in order to promote absolute energy independence.
Education/Higher Education
We believe that the Primary/Secondary and Higher education systems need to be delivered from the clutches of liberal academia and must be made to allow students to compete and succeed in an ever changing labor market.
Health Care
We believe that everyone should be given access to affordable healthcare but on the basis of competition amongst providers and much needed TORT reform not through government sponsored socialist programs.
Welfare Programs
We recognize the necessity of taking care of our most needy. However, we believe that dependence on the state for social welfare is the biggest threat to self determination and national prosperity.
Energy Independence
We believe that one of the largest threats to American national and economic security is our continuous dependence on resources from unfriendly nations to fuel our economy.
