Tell the RNC what you think…

Here’s your chance… Have at them :)

Here’s my top ten:

  1. A strong dollar – The value of the dollar has fallen over much of the
    past decade and we’re paying for it in the form of higher prices for oil and
    gas among other things. Stabilizing and strengthening the dollar will help
    reduce the price of gas and other commodities.
  2. Tax cuts – Specifically make George W. Bush’s marginal rate reductions
    permanent, reduce the capital gains tax rate, eliminate the “death tax” and
    cut the corporate tax rate from the current 35 percent to 25 percent.
  3. Fiscal responsibility – We are not under-taxed, the government spends too
    much. Want my vote? End earmarks and balance the budget!
  4. A strong national defense. – Fight for the NSA surveillance program,
    protect telecom companies from frivolous lawsuits, preserve the PATRIOT act,
    keep the Guantanamo Bay detention center open, fight to win the wars in
    Afghanistan and Iraq. Make sure that our veterans can live out their lives
    in dignity.
  5. Secure borders – This is a very simple thing. Any nation that fails to
    defend its borders will eventually cease to be a sovereign nation. Build the
    fence, and enforce the laws already on the books!
  6. Increased domestic energy production – End or at least ease the
    restrictions on domestic oil and natural gas drilling.
  7. Free Market health care solutions – Just say no to government controlled
    nationalized health care. We have to best health care system in the world.
    Yes there are problems, yes the costs spiraling upwards but nationalized
    health care isn’t the answer. Free market ideas like health savings
    accounts, tax breaks for small business owners, and tort reform are better
    ideas.
  8. Tax breaks for families who choose to send their children to private or
    parochial schools. – Vouchers are a nonstarter with me but allowing parents
    to deduct private or parochial school tuition from their taxes makes sense.
  9. Social Security and Medicare reform.
  10. The appointment of judges who recognize that their job is to interpret
    the Constitution, NOT legislate from the bench.
