Campaign themes
2012
Thibodeau's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Create Jobs through Energy Development
- Excerpt: "Energy is the lifeblood of our modern society and the engine of our economy. We must develop every source of U.S. energy. Doing so will create millions of American jobs; reduce the daily cost of living; and put us back on track to prosperity."
- Balance the Federal Budget
- Excerpt: "Federal spending must be brought under control and balancing the Federal Budget must be part of any meaningful plan for long-term prosperity."
- Eliminate Federal Debt
- Excerpt: "Our federal debt took decades to accumulate and clearly cannot be eliminated in a single administration. Nevertheless, it is critical that we begin today to reverse the trend of borrowing against our children's future. All future federal budgets must include a provision for decreasing our national debt, rather than adding to it."
- National Security
- Excerpt: "Protecting the nation and its people is a Constitutional imperative that Congress and the White House must fulfil."
- Oil Imports
- Excerpt: "It is unreasonable to expect America to immediately produce enough domestic oil to meet our current demand. It is however, unwise for us to purchase oil from our enemies and provide them with the financial ability to fund wars against us. As such, Congress must take action to immediately increase imports from Canada, so we can cut-off imports from the Middle East."
