The Republican Party is seeking your input as we develop the policies and principles upon which we should stand for the next four years. On this website, you can share your thoughts, participate in polls, and communicate directly with the policymakers who will be shaping the party's agenda.

How about adding getting rid of all the pervs and crooks? One strike(or toe-tap) and your GOP credentials are revoked.
ROFL
I would be happy with half of those you listed. I think I might add bringing troops home from Korea as well. Let these countries defend themselves. The USA has certainly already ‘gave at the office’. I would also like Republicans to start showing a little spine and exposing this AGW hoax for what it is and also get out of the UN. I totally agree with your illegal immigrant views but also I think our Immigration laws need an overhaul. We can’t sustain, I don’t believe, one-million immigrants a year.
also, No "Birthright"...If your parent(s) were Illegal, so are you...(your legal status, is not "dependent" is not where you were "dropped @ birth / calved"...and so NO US Benefits)
If your parents were legal...so are you.
11. Stop perpetuating the CO2 myth, there are many other sensible environmental causes to focus on that will provide more concrete results.
Thanks for the link. Hopefully they will get a lot of Freeper input.
The newest element is the Great Smokies started the last great ice-age because they sucked all the C02 from the air when the plates crashed.
I would add - NO foreign aid of any kind to any state for any reason - if you want to send money to cure aids in Africa, help tsunami victims, etc- send it yourself as an individual.
Good start...
Clean out the moles, slugs, useless clerks in government; reform the civil service laws so a screw-up can be fired.
Make the Tax cuts permanent; eliminate the 27 year old AMT tax which is one of the most burdensome taxes on record.
Make every employee in the FBI,CIA, and State and Judiciary Dept take polygraph tests..If they fail they are out-fired..
Immediately Censure and Expel from the House or Senate any member who leaks National Security Information to any journalist or to the Media..or who travels to a foreign country in defiance of our State Dept. policies..If any citizen does this-to see a foreign dictator, take away his Passport.
Give the FBI greater investigative powers.
Give the President the Line Item veto..It will be a good way to stop the pork and focus spending on where it should go; eliminate billions in foreign aid when our own country is suffering.
Take away the power of the Senate Judiciary Committee to not allow a nominee’s name to come to the full Senate floor for a confirmation vote..This abusive committee has way too much power.
Get the government out of our schools...Set a minimum passing standard and then step aside..Let each State run it’s school system..
Remove the Tax on gas and cigarettes; the government has no right to profit on people’s misery...The gas tax is very close to the Tea Tax..very oppressive..
Break the deadlock of the dairy associations which keep the price of milk sky high...shameful.
Stop the farm subsidies..Use that money for farmers who have lost crops due to natural disasters
Pass a law that every child from age 5 and up must carry a small concealable GPS monitor, to help with Amber Alerts..It can be embedded in eyeglasses, a watch, shoe or sneaker,headband,bracelet,backpack, etc...Make if affordable so every family can afford one.
Reform the Commodities and Securities industries to prevent investors both foreign and domestic from artificially pushing up the price of the commodities and investment instruments we use every day—such as gas..Bring sanctions against governments which allow unchecked brokers to abuse the pricing systems..
yep. I have to add that one to the list as well. Reduce spending . . . spending . . . spending. The huge increase in spending and the illegal issue are what truly sunk Bush with conservatives. Honestly the illegal immigration issue started when we gave them amnesty in the first place and we all know where that started. Yet is it time to turn it around and start the U.S. anew. Time to take the United States of America back and stop the bleeding to death.
Like anything in politics it helps to K.I.S.S. and I don’t mean a—, as in what the GOP is presently doing with the libs. I mean keep it simple. I think your list is a good beginning, I believe though that reducing spending must be close to the top. We need a challenge as a nation to come up with energy alternatives just as Kennedy did with the race to the moon in a decade. We need a leader that will challenge and inspire, not a facist regulator and implementator. We also need to work on ALL levels. National, State, and Local. We need new young blood with gonads, integrity, and the ability to sell. (male or female :-)
make congress pay the maximum tax rate they pass,
set a goal for 9% tax rate
outlaw double digit taxation
Woe to you who call evil good and good evil.
There is no immigration discussion group on GOP.com

Hard to be heard when they ask about the wrong things and structure the answers so that you get the Socialist or Socialist Lite versions on others.
This thread is destined to be a rant classic....
But let us all not merely vent, let us find positive, productive things to do and let us indeed pray for America.
