* Make securing our borders the top national security priority.

* Avoid long and expensive land wars that bankrupt our country by using constitutional means to capture or kill terrorist leaders who helped attack the U.S. and continue to plot further attacks.

* Guarantee our intelligence community’s efforts are directed toward legitimate threats and not spying on innocent Americans through unconstitutional power grabs like the Patriot Act.

* End the nation-building that is draining troop morale, increasing our debt, and sacrificing lives with no end in sight.

* Follow the Constitution by asking Congress to declare war before one is waged.

* Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job – and then bring them home.

* Ensure our veterans receive the care, benefits, and honors they have earned when they return.

* Revitalize the military for the 21st century by eliminating waste in a trillion-dollar military budget.

* Prevent the TSA from forcing Americans to either be groped or ogled just to travel on an airplane and ultimately abolish the unconstitutional agency.

* Stop taking money from the middle class and the poor to give to rich dictators through foreign aid.

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

* Protect Lawful Immigrants – Encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers.

* Remove restrictions on drilling, so companies can tap into the vast amount of oil we have here at home.

* Repeal the federal tax on gasoline. Eliminating the federal gas tax would result in an 18 cents savings per gallon for American consumers.

* Lift government roadblocks to the use of coal and nuclear power.

* Eliminate the ineffective EPA. Polluters should answer directly to property owners in court for the damages they create – not to Washington.

* Make tax credits available for the purchase and production of alternative fuel technologies.
If Obama supported a majority of these things, he wouldn't be Obama.

DARN! Someone beat me to it!

Restrictions on drilling mostly have to do with enviromental concerns. If the BP disaster happened near to where you live wouldn't you want some type of control? Or is the only thing you care about is how much you pay for a gallon of gas?

Repeal the federal tax on gasoline. Eliminating the federal gas tax would result in an 18 cents savings per gallon for American consumers.

If the Federal gas tax was eliminated Oil companies would find a way to increase prices by the same amount. Why do "Socialist" Venezuelans pay only 78 cents for a Gallon of Gas while we are paying "X" amount of dollars?

Lift government roadblocks to the use of coal and nuclear power

Coal pollutes so we know the health hazards. Nuclear power is a different world! Just ask the residents of 3 Mile Island in PA or the people in Japan.


Isn't this why we have a court system? To deal with all these things in a legal private way?

oddly enough, if he were to actually do these things, or many of them, between now and election time, i could actually see myself voting for him, as hard as that would be. however we know that the scorpion wont change his ways, and thus i wont be voting for him any time, EVER.
