Campaign themes
2012
Miller's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Economy & Jobs
- Excerpt: "Our founders had it right, they believed as I do in the free-market principles of minimal regulation to increase competition, spur innovation and encourage the investment of private capital to foster organic economic growth. "
- Healthcare
- Excerpt: "The premise that somehow healthcare or health insurance is a right is faulty. Health insurance is NOT a right and is outside of the purview of the Congress in this Republic under our Constitution. Healthcare and/or insurance is a good or service which individual citizens have a right to provide, or not provide, for themselves. The current law is clearly an over-reach of our federal government and unconstitutional spending of our tax dollars."
- Immigration
- Excerpt: "We need to agree upon the premise before we can further discuss the issue. Everyone I know agree that immigration is a good thing for our nation. If we all trace our ancestry back far enough, we're all descendents of immigrants."
- Environment & Energy
- Excerpt: "No one I know, or anyone I've ever heard of, advocates for Dirty water or Dirty Air. I believe generally most people want to take care of the environment they live in. While human activity and industry has had a negative environmental impact, the Global Warming hysteria is nothing more than a way for government to create a federal "Green Jobs" program and to intrude upon private industry by taxing some industries it deems bad, while subsidizing others it proclaims as good."
- Financial Reform
- Excerpt: "The current outrage in Congress is a charade intended to distract from the real problem. That of the federal government through the CRA (Community Re-investment Act) forcing financial institutions to make loans to people who were not qualified in the first place. Then, using our tax dollars, i.e. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to underwrite those loans."
