We have an opportunity for input, if just on this site. This is the place where Conservative opinions prevail, where everyone, especially after Dan Rather got shot down, pays attention.

Why don't we hash it out and draw up the platform WE'D like to see.

Let's give 'em some concise input.

Issue no. 1: Finish what we started in Iraq and elsewhere.

Issue No. 2: Secure our borders.

That is my $.02

Feel free to add to the list.

Pretty good start....my $0.02 is a lil too radical, even for most of the folks on FR:

--eliminate EVERY federal Department, Agency, & bureaucracy that has no constitution al leg to stand on;

--after eliminating these vast federal offices, keep the current tax system in place UNTIL the entire national debt (about $8 TRILLION now, isn't it?) has been paid off, then find out if the 16th Amendment was properly ratified: if not, admit it & get rid of the income tax altogether; if it was ratified properly, pass another constitutional amendment to repeal it;

--bring our troops home from abroad & use them to patrol our borders;

--eliminate paper $ & do what is constitutionally required by going back to gold & silver coin;

--GET US OUT of the UN & kick them out of the US;

--have Congress use its impeachment power against activist judges & President Bush (he refuses to do his constitutional duty of protecting our nation from invasion via the illegal immigration explosion, for starters);

--give ALL federal crime fighting efforts back to the states where they belong, (for example, let the states decide their own drug laws, where one can be as strict or another can be as lenient as the people so desire);

That would be a nice beginning for a return to a constitutionally-limited government.
