I'd like to borrow some of your ideas and add my own priorities--
- Eliminate the deficit PERIOD. Make REAL cuts in wasteful and extra-constitutional spending!
- Fair Tax
- Eliminate the Depts of Education, Commerce, Labor, and Agriculture. Sell off half of the Federal lands. Cut needless regulation of business. Remove the EPA from cabinet status
- Phase out Social Security, go to private accounts
- Constitutional Amendment to remove citizenship status from children born in the US of illegals
- Secure the borders with a wall and 100,000 troops
- Fine employers $100,000 for EVERY illegal they employ
- Allow controlled legal immigration of those whose presence is beneficial to the country. Require that those who seek citizenship pass a comprehensive test on US history and government and speak PROFICIENT ENGLISH!
- Repeal all Federal gun control laws. They're all unconstitutional!
- Resolve marriage and abortion issues at the state level with the requirement that no state be required to recognize the same sex marriage of another state.
I think most all of us of both stripes could.
And I think *if* we want another 'Contract with America', this is the kind of conversation we need to have.
If we're going to deal with marriage laws at the state level, then no state should be required to recognize ANY marriage. Personally, I want the government totally out of the business of defining/licensing/registering marriages.
Don't know how to do it but we MUST reverse once and for all New London.
With no private property guarantees, there is no Nation.
