Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt:"Businesses will flourish and entrepreneurs will innovate if we simply allow them to do so. To create more jobs the answer is simple: less government, more liberty."
Taxes
- Excerpt:"We cannot ask the people of Missouri to pay more of their hard-earned income into government coffers. We need elected officials who are willing to make cuts when necessary."
Government Openness and Accountability
- Excerpt:"Those who serve in government ought to be held to a high standard. Corruption weakens public trust in government and should not be tolerated."
2nd Amendment and Property Rights
- Excerpt:"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The right to security and privacy in one’s home is a basic human right which government is duty-bound to respect."
Economic and Civil Liberties
