Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • The United States Armed Forces: I am grateful for the people who serve in the United States armed forces. They have sacrificed time with their families and personal comfort, putting themselves in harm’s way to protect us from our enemies. We need to continue the American tradition of a strong military, one focused on freedom.
  • The Supreme Court: The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In recent years, activist justices have attempted to "legislate from the bench," usurp the legislative role of Congress, and disregard the original intent of the U.S. Constitution. Since these individuals are appointed, not elected, it is important that the President work with the Senate to select judges who will rule according to the supreme law of the land, as written in the U.S Constitution.
  • Immigration: It is the constitutional duty of Congress to set uniform rules of naturalization. It is NOT the duty of Congress to fund certain immigrants, thereby playing "favorites" as they have done with the Refugee Resettlement program.
  • Taxes: As my father always said, "The power to tax is the power to destroy." The U.S. tax code is very complicated. That is because it seeks to control citizens and businesses through incentives and de-incentives in the way taxes are calculated. The founders envisioned a free people with limited government. Work is its own incentive, but the tax code interferes with the connection between productivity and wealth.
  • Pro-Life: I have been pro-life since I was a teen. When we were expecting our 2nd child, they told me that they saw something unusual on the sonogram and wanted to use a needle to obtain some amniotic fluid and do some tests. I refused. It did not matter what they might find on those tests, we would find out soon enough when our baby was born. This also happened with our 3rd child. Those children were born healthy. Even if they were not, we would have accepted them as they were.
