The following issues were listed on Daniel Cummings' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Constitutional law: Our federal republican government, as it was conceived of and created by our Founding Fathers, is the greatest civic achievement in all political history. I believe that our Constitution was divinely inspired and was conceived by men raised up by God for that very purpose. I recognize no higher authority than the Constitution of the United States except for the Christian scriptures and revelations from God. Fiscal responsibility: Our present crushing national debt must be stopped cold where it is and must eventually be paid off (or repudiated by bankruptcy). I will never vote to increase the legal national debt limit under any circumstances whatsoever except perhaps during war declared by Congress (not by the president) to protect our freedoms, our national independence, and our national security. National sovereignty and independence: Our absolute national sovereignty and independence are essential for the restoration of our prior constitutional republic. I advocate the absolute sovereignty of the United States in all foreign and domestic affairs and favor our prompt withdrawal from the United Nations, all of its subsidiary organizations, and other entangling alliances, such as NATO, the North American Union, and the various “free trade” unions; I favor the immediate cessation of any contributions, including any form of dues payment, for such organizations. Fiat currency: The Federal Reserve system celebrated its centennial recently with too little publicity. I favor a belated centennial birthday present for the Fed consisting of a thorough and complete audit of all its finances from its beginning to the present day to be chaired and directed by former Congressman Ron Paul. I favor the restoration of gold and silver as an alternative federal legal tender except for payment of federal taxes and other federal obligations (the federal government should be obliged to continue functioning on its own quasicounterfeit currency to incentivize it to maintain its value). Federal bureaucracy: I favor the immediate defunding of the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Labor, Commerce, Agriculture, Housing And Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, and Homeland Security and their total liquidation as fast as possible.	”
