Campaign themes
2012
Sabey's campaign website listed the following issues:[5]
- Freedom & Liberty
- Excerpt: "I believe in freedom and liberty that is God given, affirmed by our Founding Fathers, articulated in the Declaration of Independence, and protected by the Constitution."
- Principled Leadership
- Excerpt: "I believe that true leadership is unwavering in the face of criticism, is steadfast when confronted with adversity, and is committed to serving your (public’s) interests over the government’s."
- Limiting Government
- Excerpt: "The government that governs least, based on the Constitution, governs best. I believe in policies that unlock individual potential and unleash economic growth and vitality. Entitlement programs only create a society of people who are dependent and indebted to government rather than a society that is self-sufficient and self-reliant."
- Individual Responsibility
- Excerpt: "I believe each person is responsible and accountable for the consequences of their own actions and, if one fails to live responsibly, it is that person’s duty to make restitution to restore honor and integrity to oneself and their society. It is also in society’s best interest to embrace the opportunity to help those in need."
- Fiscal Accountability, Responsibility & Efficiency
- Excerpt: "It is your right, and the right of every citizen, to know where your tax dollars are being spent and what you are getting for your money. We don’t need a budget that fits our government; we need a government that fits our budget. Government’s role is to assure the people that it is responsible to balance the budget by eliminating waste and reduce spending before raising any taxes."
