Campaign themes
2012
Bryan's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "If we are going to have an income tax, it needs to be a flat tax, so that everyone is abused equally, rather than a progressive tax as I have seen some advocate. However, I would like to get away from the income tax as much as possible, since a person's money should not be taken from them before they've even seen it."
Gambling
- Excerpt: "Currently it is illegal to participate in any gambling activity in one's own home. I would fight to do away with such restrictions upon gambling."
Federal And State Relations
- Excerpt: "I believe that the state government has the responsibility to reject and fight all federal encroachment onto issues in which the latter has no constitutional authority to involve itself in."
Federal Lands
- Excerpt: "I believe that the federal government should either have to relinquish much of these holdings or pay rent to the states for them."
Liquor Laws
- Excerpt: "I support ending the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control and turning all state-owned stores over to private ownership."
