Judeo-Christian
Foundation:
We believe in the guiding force of moral law as expressed by the Judeo-
Christian ethic and contained in the Holy Scriptures of these historic faiths.
That the Constitution was written by wise men granted
such privilege by God and that the original intent of the Founders is as valid
and binding today as it was in their day.
Inalienable Rights:
We believe
that all human rights are granted by God, not government and that government
exists primarily to protect the God-given rights of all of its citizens. That
the rights and freedoms of all Americans are best served and protected when the
Constitution and its original intent are upheld.
Church and state:
We believe that the founders never intended to separate God from government as
stated in the first amendment saying, “Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of
grievances,” but did intend to prevent government from
establishing a single denomination state religion or inhibiting the citizen's
right to the free exercise of religion in any setting, public or private.
Self-Government:
We
believe in the power of the individual over the power of the state.
That all political power and influence should flow
from the grass roots upward. That the
Constitution was written to govern a moral and religious people and it is being
destroyed by those who are neither. The only solution to the current
moral decline in our nation is a return to the beliefs and standards of morality
which our founding fathers placed into the Constitution. We believe, with the
framers of that document and with President Adams, who stated, "This
Constitution will not work except with a religious people." We understand that
the concept of self-government begins with governing one’s self first, then
family, community, state, and nation.”
Decentralized government:
We believe that government is a necessary evil and therefore that the best
government is less government.
That the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness is best achieved when the
balance of State’s rights and the federal system
of government is maintained as the founders intended in the provisions of the
constitution stated by the 10th amendment.
National Sovereignty:
We
believe in an America first program in which Government’s first concern is the
welfare and protection of the American people. We do not believe in trade
protectionism but support political leaders who support policies that create
fair and competitive trade.
Free Enterprise:
We
believe that the free enterprise system is the best means whereby men and women
can fulfill their economic hopes and dreams. The free market is the most
efficient and the least costly system to deliver the highest quality goods and
services at the lowest price to the consumer. We support those who support the
free enterprise system through legislation to reduce or eliminate intrusive
government intervention in the marketplace.
Taxes:
We believe that
the federal tax system is abusive to the American people while discouraging
investment and growth. We believe that government revenue is increased as
growth-oriented tax policies are implemented.
Sanctity of Life:
We
believe that the pre-born child is a human being deserving the full protection
of the law; that the pre-born child has a fundamental
individual right to life which cannot be infringed. That sacred right extends to
all persons regardless of age or infirmity and also does not allow for
euthanasia, assisted suicide, or public funding for any of these practices.
Family:
We believe that the traditional American family, defined as any persons related
by blood, marriage of a man and a woman and/or adoption, is the cornerstone of
our American society, and that the government is duty bound to protect the
integrity of the family unit through legislation and taxation policies. We
oppose any attempt to undermine or redefine the family unit.
Education:
We believe in the rights of parents to choose quality education for their
children. We support parental choice to create competition among the schools. We
must insure that no school or teachers’ union can compromise the education of
our children or advance a particular political agenda at the expense of our
future generation’s educations.
Victims’ Rights:
We believe in the concept of victims’ rights over the rights of any criminal. We
support a system of restitution as a deterrent to crime and recidivism.
Right to Bear Arms:
We
believe in the unqualified right of our citizens to keep and bear arms without
the intrusive hand of government.
