Here are some of the Issues that I am concerned about:
JOBS
Manufacturing is coming
back. We need to not only prepare our communities
with transportation, education, and communication,
but also we need an aggressive business plan to
bring those manufacturing jobs to Western North
Carolina.

TAX REFORM
Taxation should be used to fund the things that our government is Constitutionally obligated to do, like maintaining our military, infrastructure, etc. Our tax code should not be designed and modified to encourage or discourage certain types of behavior. Your tax rate should not be a factor of who you are and what you do. I believe you should pay taxes based on what you choose to spend. (read more)
EDUCATION
Our Federal government has failed from the very beginning of their control of the education system. I will work to eliminate the Federal Department of Education, and instead support a system where block grants are distributed to the respective states to run their own school systems.

DEFENSE / MILITARY
There is no question the United States military
rules any battlefield to which it is committed. This
should never change. We have and should maintain the
most elite and feared fighting force in the
world. All needed support should be given this force
to make sure the commitment and outcome is never in
question. (read more)
IMMIGRATION
I am against amnesty for illegal immigrants. Our
parents taught us there are
consequences for our actions, and this culture
should not be sacrificed for those
who have broken our laws. (read more)
TERM LIMITS
In an era where the deck is stacked in favor of even the most corrupt and ineffective incumbents, I support legislating term limits on members of both the House and Senate.

SOCIAL SECURITY
I would divide social
security into a safety net division and a retirement
division. The safety net side would be funded
totally by the government contributions. The
retirement side would have options which would
include personal selection of individual accounts.

HEALTHCARE
America has the best health care systems in the world, but the costs are getting out of control. Returning to a free marketplace will help to restore quality, reduce costs, and drive innovation in the healthcare system. (read more)
ENERGY
We need to drill our oil,
mine our coal, tap our natural gas, and build safe
nuclear power plants. (read more)
ECONOMY
75% of the new jobs
are created by small business in the Micro-Economy,
out here where we work in the trenches.

GUNS
I will support legislation that enforces and rebuilds the original intent of the 2nd Amendment that free Americans have the absolute right to bear arms.
