THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES

Here's where we must focus our efforts:
1. National debt and the economy: Our government has been fiscally irresponsible and our grandchildren heavily burdened.
· National debt is now a matter of national security. It demands our complete attention. We must stop the bleed and reverse the damage;
· Health care "reform" is a huge financial burden. It must be repealed and replaced with responsible legislation;
· Federal legislation strangles small businesses and energy producers in the Third District.
· Social security and Medicare/Medicaid costs are unsustainable.

2. Increased taxes: In spite of the lies otherwise, taxes will increase and will impact the middle class.
· Already many corporations and producers are stating the impacts of Obamacare on their costs which they must pass to consumers as a hidden tax, and/or lay off workers.
· The Value Added Tax is coming. There is no way Obama can pay for healthcare and all his other expansions without a VAT and that hits the middle and lower economic classes squarely.
· Simple math: Unless the Democrats decrease spending they have already begun, they must increase taxes to counter the debt. Anyone you send to Congress must have a solid belief in cutting taxes, period.

3. Expanding federal government: People do not like big government, yet our government continues to grow in size and influence. Our liberty is the casualty.
· We need to repeal federal legislation in the Third District that regulates our land use, water rights, and imposes huge burdens on small businesses;
· Communities can take care of each other: health care, education, and the general welfare of citizens is the responsibility of states and small communities, not big government.


These are your issues, these are my issues to address on your behalf. I do not have a voting record but I have what Combat Veterans For Congress calls "embedded integrity."

A Message To Delegates

District and State Assemblies are coming May 21 and 22 . Republicans must put the strongest candidate up against Salazar. I am the candidate who will use unshakeable conservative principles as a bridge for all - tea party folks, Republicans, and the huge majority of disenfranchised voters who are disgusted with both parties. I am the candidate who can and will defeat John Salazar. Please, raise your hand for me.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE
There are many issues to discuss but fiscal responsibility, lowering taxes, and limiting government are the foundation of the America that will open under new management in 2011. To be there for you, I need your contributions. Send what you can, and stay tuned for fundraisers sponsored by SHERIFF MACK and MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY. Raise your hand for me, and I will send Salazar packing. God bless, and keep the faith,
