| Collapse all
- We must return the control of government to the people where it rightfully belongs according to our founding documents: the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and Federalist Papers. Without the return of our Constitutional Republic America will be lost. We must elect folks who will stand strong on Truth, Justice, and Accountability.
- The First and most important piece of legislation to pass is a bill which protects Life from Conception. We must protect our most vulnerable.
- Clean up the swamp! Time to hold our elected public servants accountable. Implement term limits for elected officials. Hold all accountable to the Rule of Law, including but not limited to: Legislators, Judicial Officers, and the Executive Branch.
All 3 branches of government must be held accountable to Rule of Law.
