Principles To Strengthen America

If all politicians would adhere to the following contract drawn up by the tea party we could strengthen America and leave a better stronger America for future generations.  These principles are what America was built on.

 DEMAND A BALANCED BUDGET- Begin the Constitutional amendment process to require a balanced budget with a two-thirds majority needed for any tax hike.

 STOP THE TAX HIKES-Permanently repeal all tax hikes, including those to the income, capital gains, and death taxes, currently scheduled to begin in 2011.

 COMMIT TO REAL GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY-Every bill, in its final form, will be made public seven days before any vote can be taken and all government expenditures authorized by any bill will be easily accessible on the Internet before the money is spent.

 PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION-Require each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does. (Proposed by: Brooke Storrs, Midland, MI)

 PASS MARKET-BASED HEALTHCARE & HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM-Make health care and insurance more affordable by enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn't restricted by state boundaries.

 ENACT FUNDAMENTAL TAX REFORM-Adopt a simple and fair single-rate tax system by scrapping the internal revenue code and replacing it with one that is no longer than 4,543 words--the length of the original Constitution.

 END RUNAWAY GOVERNMENT SPENDING-Impose a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of inflation rate plus the percentage of population.

 LET US SAVE-Allow young Americans the choice of opting out of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, creating both real financial security in retirement through the freedom to own your personal retirement savings, and reducing the long-term unfunded liabilities of the federal government.

 PROTECT INTERNET FREEDOM-No regulation or tax on the Internet.

 GIVE PARENTS MORE CHOICES IN THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN-Improve American education by reforming the broken federal role through eliminating ineffective and wasteful programs, giving parents more choices from pre-school to high school, and improving the affordability of higher education.

 PASS AN "ALL OF THE ABOVE" ENERGY POLICY-Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition.

 PROTECT FREEDOM OF THE PRESS-Prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from using funds to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine in any form, including requiring "localism" or "diversity" quotas.

 RESTORE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY & CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED GOVT-Create a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states.

 PROTECT PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS-Block state and local governments that receive federal grants from exercising eminent domain over private property for the primary purpose of economic development or enhancement of tax revenues.

 REJECT CAP & TRADE-Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation's global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures.

 STOP THE PORK-Place a moratorium on all earmarks until the process is fully transparent, including requiring a 2/3 majority to pass any earmark

 AUDIT THE FED-Begin an audit of the Federal Reserve System

 NO MORE BAILOUTS-The federal government should not bail out private companies and should immediately begin divesting itself of its stake in the private companies it owns from recent bailouts.

 STOP CAREER POLITICIANS & CURB LOBBYIST POWER-Begin the Constitutional amendment process to require Congressional term limits.

 SUNSET REGULATIONS & ENACT FUNDAMENTAL REGULATORY REFORM-Sunset all regulations in order to eliminate those that are wasteful, unconstitutional, and ineffective, and place strict limits on the ability of agencies to create regulations

 LET US WATCH-Broadcast all non-security meetings and votes on C-SPAN and the Internet.

America we can bring back the American dream that Washington is trying to destroy.  United we can honest politicians who want the same things for us.  We can give our children a better America.
