Get StartedPhil Arlinghaus is unashamedly pro-life. He believes in protecting all life from the womb to the tomb. Science proves that the baby is a baby human being from conception. A heartbeat is detectable just 18 days after conception. Anytime that you stop a heart to remove the human being from life, you commit murder. We hold people accountable for doing that after the baby is born. Why not do it before it is born? In order to do this, we have to repeal the mistake that is Roe v. Wade. . Learn more
Understanding the needs and rights of the people, Phil knows that we need a strong military. He supports building and maintaining the best and strongest military in the world. Once our servicemen and women serve, they need support after they return. They served us, now it is time for them to receive service from us in return. This includes reforming the VA so that Veterans can get the services they need. We have a problem with the number of vets committing suicide. He is a support of 22Kill, an advocacy group to lower the number of suicides among Vets. Phil is an advocate for the solider both in the military and as a veteran. He is also a member of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA), an advocacy group for the Army. God bless our troops! God bless our Veterans!. Learn more
Socialism has reared its ugly, murderous head once again. We have to stand on the Constitution and rebuke the Socialistic tide that is rising. Socialism has murdered 100 of millions of people over the years. It is a slave society. As my friend Richard says, “Socialism is the Kudzu of American Culture.” This is true. It is slowly winding its way around America. We have to be strong enough to recognize this evil and stop it before it is too late. As President Reagan puts, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”. Learn more
If the Chinese Virus has taught us anything, it is that we need to cut our reliance on China for cheap production. We need to bring back those jobs to America. We can produce a higher quality product and can control the supply chain. Right now, we cannot trust the products coming from China. We have to put our factories back to work and produce products that are usable and reliable. The Clinton and Bush Administrations sent our production of basic medicine over to China. We need to make our own medicine here in America. Our economy needs to be separate from the world’s economy in that we supply it, but we do not need it to survive. We can and we should produce our own goods to use first for ourselves and then export to other countries. . Learn more
Phil is Pro-Israel. As a Christian, Israel has a special place in the history and story of his faith. God blesses those who bless Israel and He curses those who curse Israel. The majority of the time, the US has supported and blessed Israel. We need to continue that and bless Israel. One of the ways that we supported Israel under President Trump is rightly moving the embassy to and recognizing Jerusalem as the true Capital of Israel. Right now, the Liberals in the Israeli Government is trying to take down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu like they are trying to do with President Trump. We need to support our ally in PM Netanyahu as well. God Bless Israel!. Learn more
Phil fully supports a full repeal and replace Obamacare. He supports a market-driven plan that is modeled like car insurance by being able to buy insurance across state lines. Also, he supports Health Savings Accounts (HSA). With both, market-driven plans and HSAs, pre-existing conditions do not prevent people from getting insurance; like car insurance, an accident does not prevent obtaining insurance. Our problem is not the treatment and service necessarily, but the insurance nonsense and drama to receive that treatment and service. Learn more
We are not a country without a border. We are a sovereign nation that has to protect itself from threats. One of those threats is illegal immigration and chain migration. The Trump Administration has worked to end this illegal act. He needs support to get the wall built on the Southern border. I believed in the wall since before President Trump made it a point. We have to stop the open border policy that the Left wants to continue. One of the jobs of our government is to establish our country and that is through defined borders. Build The Wall and Crime Will Fall. Learn more
Phil Arlinghaus is proud to support and push for change in the tax code. He believes in The FAIRtax H.R. 25. He supports this so much that he signed the FAIRtax Pledge. He is a huge supporter of this tax plan where you can keep 100% of your paycheck. This plan will allow all people to pay their fair share of the tax burden. For more information, check out FAIRtax. .

One of my job and wage creation plans is the FAIRtax, see above. This will be an instant pay raise and light a fire in the economy like nothing before. We have to continue to bring jobs home from overseas. We have too many factories and people that could be working that are not because the factories closed and shipped overseas. Bring them back now!.
