WHY is it that when republicans are in the majority things do not improve, and when democrats are in the majority things get worse?

We can no longer allow the vocal minority to distort our politics.  Extreme members of our party dominate voting in the primaries and dictate the feeble choices we have in the general election.  If WE want to revive our party and regain the high ground, WE must actively participate in the process, vote for candidates who are untainted by politics and replace career politicians and office-shoppers with fresh, clean candidates.

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

2. STOP THE DEFICITS.  With trillions of dollars in actual debt and over 100 TRILLION dollars in unfunded future obligations, our national security and international stability are compromised.  The nations financing our debt are already telling us how to handle Iran and North Korea.  It will not be long before they are dictating other matters if we do not get control of our debt.

3. TAXES MUST BE FAIR.  I SUPPORT THE FAIR TAX IN HR25!  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 grounded in civics, math, science and reading.

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. 

7. HEALTH CARE
The health care debate is far from over.  Forcing Americans to purchase health care against their will is so offensive to our fundamental freedoms that we must fight back.  Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government granted such authority.  The current slide toward a welfare state must be brought to a halt.
