It is time for rationality and reason to guide our party and our nation.  This is supposed to be a government of the people.  Yet the people are not being represented by political parties: the party "leaders" believe in nothing but blocking the other party.  Career politicians in the pockets of big money lobbyists and self-serving power brokers are driving our nation to the brink.  All the while, we are making no forward progress.

1. JOBS FIRST.  Before the federal government even thinks about doing anything else, they need to create policies that will bring jobs back to southern Nevada.

2. STOP THE DEFECITS.  With trillions of dollars in actual and projected additional deficits for the next decade, our nation becomes weaker.

3. TAXES MUST BE FAIR.  We can no longer afford to have a tax structure which kills job growth, stifles innovation and punishes success.

4.  EDUCATION must be a priority!  The industries of the 21st century will not locate to a region that lacks a potential employee base.  To be competitive in business, our children need a solid education.

5.  WATER is  vital.  The reserves are dwindling, and we need a plan of action now.

6. MILITARY
The men and women of the United States Armed Forces and their families make tremendous sacrifices in the names of Liberty and Freedom.  We must honor their sacrifices by calling upon them sparingly, assuring them that when called upon, they will have our complete support, and making sure that they are all treated with due respect.
