I Pledge the following:
- I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.
- I believe government should not increase the financial burden on it's citizenry during difficult economic times, therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.
- I believe more than four decades of U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear, natural gas and coal as necessary.
- I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why. I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over U.S. citizens.
- I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on Earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on Earth.
- I believe the checks and balances have slowly eroded over time allowing the executive and judicial branches to grow their power over the people. I will support measures to return to the roles defined in our Constitution, so that each branch effectively provides the checks and balances necessary to prevent one branch from obtaining too much power.
My Principles:
- America is good.
- I believe in God and He is the Center of my life.
- I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
- A person is judged by their character, actions and the people they surround themselves with. Not by the color of their skin, religion or financial standing.
- The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
- If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
- I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
- I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
- It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
- The government works for "The People". We do not answer to them, they answer to us.
- The government should do as little as needed and be transparently accountable for "The People's" money that they spend.
