Education
Parents should be able to choose the best education for their children: Public school, charter schools, home-schooling – whatever works best.
All teaching methods – including home-schooling – should be measured. All teachers, schools, curricula, principals and school boards should also be measured. These measurements should be made public so that parents can choose the best available options for their children.
Budget
The Senate has a legal obligation to pass a budget every year but has not done so for more than two years.
In that time, an unbudgeted and unrestrained government has overspent America to the brink of financial collapse, resulting in America’s credit rating being downgraded for the first time – ever – on August 5, 2011.
Healthcare
We believe Americans should have more, not less, control over their health – more liberty over our life.
That is why we oppose the federal takeover of health care, against the will of the people, commonly referred to as “Obamacare.”
Government Transparency
Every candidate promises more transparency if elected, and yet post-election actions never quite seem to match up with the pre-election rhetoric.
Governments have an obligation to proactively disclose information about how they are conducting the public’s business, and it is through proactive disclosure that voters are able to hold public officials accountable.
