Position Papers
CONGRESSIONAL PORK WASTES TAXPAYER MONEY, HURTS DEMOCRACY
Congress is broken. Earmark reform and an end to pork-barrel politics must happen now if we are going to truly cut wasteful spending and re-focus Congressional efforts on good public policy.
ESTABLISHING AMERICA'S ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
We need to buy ourselves 15 to 20 years of traditional energy from domestic sources until we can rely more heavily on renewable energy sources. That includes domestic recovery of oil and natural gas, utilizing clean-burning coal technologies, and increasing the use of nuclear power all while increasing conservation, improving energy efficiency, and funding continued renewable energy research.
OPPOSING TAX INCREASES, SUPPORTING TAX CUTS
The American people need to be allowed to keep more of their hard-earned money
