10. Implement stronger border security measures to help advert further terrorist attacks to include the deportation of illegal immigrants and a 75% reduction in legal immigrationBravo!!!
11. Halt all US funding of the United Nations and its affiliates and achieve a US withdrawal from that vociferously anti-American organization.
NATO'S mission was successfully completed with the collapse of the Soviet Union. At that time, it should have been ceremoniously disbanded amidst victorious celebration. Instead, it's been allowed to "reinvent" itself as a global police force for the U.N.
I hope NATO is one of the UN "affiliates" that this organization proposes defunding.

Two weeks ago Rummie was telling Nato 'friends' in Poland about the need for a rapid deployment force for Nato. If the neo-con foreign policy establishment are brazen enough to float that one out there, God help us.

While NATO's founding purpose is no longer relevant due to the apparant collapse of the Russian conventional threat to central Europe, if the US leaves NATO, Europe will become Finlandized and take on a much more pro-Russian and anti-US tilt. I am not willing to take that risk just yet, but I would support cutting our NATO contingent by half or more.
