For a long time, I have been formulating my thoughts on what it would require to strengthen our country - constitutionally, economically and socially. There are many issues we could address that would solve many of the problems we are facing today. With the help of friends, family, and mentors, we have developed a ten-points platform that we believe will strengthen the country and bring prosperity back.

Here is our ten-point plan:

1) Balance the Federal Budget - We must stop spending away the future of our children and grandchildren.

2) Energy Independence - We must use all of our available resources. In order to grow, we need more energy.

3) Educational Choice - We must give parents the freedom and responsibility to choose the educational option that best meets their children's needs.

4) Health Care Reform - We need real reform that will actually cut costs and improve care. But first, we must defund and ultimately repeal the Obama-Pelosi healthcare mandate. 

5) Limited Government - We need to return to the  principle of a limited federal government and reinforce the rights of the people and the rights of the states as defined by the Constitution.

6) The Constitution - We must uphold the Constitution of the United States of America by protecting the freedom of the American people and limiting the power of the federal government.

7) Sanctity of Life - Human life is precious. How we view life defines the decisions we make. As a conservative, I believe every life has the potential to be someone great - a scientist who finds the cure for cancer, a doctor or nurse who saves the lives of the sick and injured, or a loving mother or father who carries on the tradition of American values. 

8) Reform Congress - Our representatives continue to rule over us rather the represent us. “We the people” must remember that they only govern at our consent.

9) Strong National Defense - The Constitution requires the federal government to “provide for the common defense.” We need leadership that will stand against those that seek to destroy us and our way of life.

10) On its way!
