Whether or not monuments are removed from public property is a decision that rests with each locality. Yet their removal will not end racism, in fact it could expand it. More importantly, their removal will have no effect on the most damaging effects of racism today, which exist in the federal and state statutes that enable racism. Learn more
STOP the statist expansion of the judicial and police systems. There are about 7 or 8 crimes that people commit that require government action. The other 10 million statutes should be eliminated. Learn more
STOP the mindless expansion of the defense system. Politicians want the people to disarm while at the same time building up the military beyond all imaginable necessity. Learn more
Eliminate the war on drugs. The black market and the high profitability it allows leads to gang war and leads users to commit crimes, sometimes violent ones, in order to pay for their habit. The incarceration of millions of Americans is a waste of taxpayer money and destroys families, especially among lower income groups and minorities, which leads to more parental abuse and separation.

Resurrect a monetary and taxation policy so that it is not a necessity for most families to have two full time wage earners in order to make ends meet. Economic stress is a major cause of family disintegration and even when it stays intact, leads to such stress that causes dependency on stress relieving substances and agitation and abuse within the family.

Eliminate the FDA. It is merely a marketing arm of Big Pharma anyway, and blocks access to alternative treatments which are more effective, cost less, and have fewer side effects than prescription drugs. Psychotropic drugs are involved in almost every case of mass shootings. When government puts its stamp of approval on certain treatments, such as psychotropic drugs, people gain a false sense of security about them. Government control of the health care business in general leads to monopolistic entities which result in products with poorer quality and higher prices. Learn more

Our policy should be as Jefferson advised, friends and trading partners with all nations, entangling alliances with none. Learn more
Our policy should be to promote liberty, while avoiding the creation of vulnerability for the people. Thomas Jefferson's admonition suits this goal the best: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none." Learn more

States must reassert their sovereignty over the Federal government, and each member of the Federal government must reaffirm that they will uphold their oath of office. We must listen to the wisdom of the founders Learn more
It is now a common misconception that Federal law trumps State law. In reality, this only occurs in rare instances, such as when a state law infringes upon an individual's unalienable rights, or with certain specific powers that the states voluntarily ceded to the Federal Government via the Constitution.

A major cause of high medical cost is the regulatory control of the health care industry by the government. This occurs in the form of the high cost of getting new medical products to market by requiring FDA approval, and also by driving out alternative approaches that are more effective, less costly, have fewer side effects, and are more likely to prevent future recurrences. Learn more
The principle of insurance was never intended to pay for everyday occurrences. Insurance is for the highly improbable. What we have today is actually a prepaid plan, which drives up the cost of insurance astronomically. Learn more
STOP the devastating expansion of medical care. Natural remedies will create a more peaceful future. Learn more
Americans are unhealthy. Human beings have existed in good health for eons on this planet. Only in the last century has there been an avalanche of degenerative disease. For example, cancer rates were 1 in 50 in 1910 but have swollen to 1 in 3 today. Only a dramatic change in lifestyle can alter this. Learn more
Taxation is not compatible with freedom. The goal should be to move toward a system that funds government from user fees instead of taxes. Learn more
