You own your life

JAN 31, 2010
That is a self-evident statement. It is the fundamental concept of freedom. You own your life. No individual or group can make any higher claim on your life than you. Nor can you, as an individual or member of a group, make a higher claim on anyone else’s life. To be deprived of… Click for more

10th Amendment Pledge

The 10th Amendment Pledge is a Service of the Tenth Amendment Center http://pledge.tenthamendmentcenter.com
As a candidate for public office and potential public office holder, I promise that, as long as I hold office:

My votes will always be in favor of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State. Every issue. Every time.… Click for more

Balanced Budget

We can no longer afford to pass the spending we do onto our children and grandchildren. I can not and will not look my son in the eye and tell him that we are going to make him pay for the spending we are doing right now. We need an amendment to the Constitution that… Click for more

Education

Education, like health, is near the top of the priority list for every family and individual. There is little else more important to parents of a school-aged child. The government has stepped in to try and alleviate the shortcomings in this regard, but their efforts have been scarcely effective.

Reducing The Need For Entitlement Programs

What is really needed is for all Americans to elevate themselves to the point where they no longer need government assistance. That may be harsh words, but I am in the same boat as everyone else is right now. I have made financial mistakes in the past, but I am paying for them… Click for more

Illegal Immigration

This great country was founded on immigration, and the talent and labor of individuals from other nations. With that in mind, our current immigration situation is plagued with considerably more problems than those dealt with during America’s infancy.
It is far too easy to enter this country illegally, and far too difficult to follow the proper… Click for more

Term Limits

All Senators and Congressmen need to have term limits. This is a major problem in Washington. We cannot allow this to keep going on. Elected officials should have to come back to the private sector and deal with the laws that they pass. I also think that one of the reasons the Federal Government is… Click for more
