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. (read more)

 



TAX REFORM


     I support Tax Reform to simplify our tax code to remove all forms or social
engineering.  Our taxes should be used for only two purposes:  defend our
country, and pay our bills.  Beyond that taxes should be a non-issue. (read more)
 



EDUCATION

 
     The Department of Education should be eliminated. The states should
direct education in their own states with The Department of Justice enforcing
the laws.  (read more)

 



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

 
     We need Term Limits. Our Founding Fathers would be stunned to know there is such a thing as a professional politician. They weren’t our Founding Politicians, they were our Founding Fathers with homes and families and they couldn’t wait to get back to them when their service to our country was finished.  (read more)


 

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. (read more)


 

HEALTHCARE

 
     I favor: 1. Block grants of Medicare to the states, 2. Free trade across
state lines for insurance, 3. Repeal of Obamacare and rooting out all parts embedded in our medical system and 4. Elimination of the “donut hole” for
prescription drugs.  (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. (read more)
