STATEMENT OF POLICY COMMITMENT
|
|
Members of Reagan21 are committed to these policy objectives. We endeavor to advance a new and invigorated Republican Party as best able to guide America’s future in a positive direction.
Integrity
- Integrity is the foundation upon which confidence in government is built. Therefore, it is essential that all public officials, including Members of Congress, be held to the highest possible standard.
Tax Reform
- In order to increase personal saving and liberty, we must replace the federal tax code with a new fairer, flatter tax system based on consumption. To ensure a flourishing economy, American corporate tax rates must be among the lowest in the world.
Budget and Spending
- To make certain the family budget is protected, the federal government must not spend more than it takes in. We must eliminate wasteful and unnecessary spending which we will identify with a top-down review of every single federal government program. We support the Presidential line-item veto and putting a limit on all federal spending.
Entitlement Reform
- Implement personal ownership of retirement security and health care decisions. All Social Security money must be used only for Social Security. We support Medicaid reform that parallels the successful reform of welfare by block granting federal funds to the states.
Ethics
- End Earmarks – Until public confidence is restored, we must end all earmarks. To lead by example, Congressional members of Reagan21 will request no new earmarks.
Health Care
- A quality healthcare system that helps all Americans is one where everyone has personal ownership of their insurance. Our goal is health care coverage for all Americans, where everyone is able to own their personal insurance policy, without meddlesome middlemen and third-party control, and allowing tax equity for the purchase of health insurance.
Education
- End federal intrusions into local education, including the repeal of NCLB (No Child Left Behind), that are neither productive nor helpful. Local communities, parents and teachers must control their children’s education. Education tax credits and opportunity scholarships are pivotal for parents to address their child’s educational needs.
Immigration
- Nothing is more important than the rule of law and border security first. Local police must be empowered to assist federal efforts fighting illegal immigration while the federal government enforces a system of universal employee verification that is reliable and immediate. Adopt English as our official language.
Energy
- America must become Energy Independent to secure our nation and our economic future. Our policy initiatives include tax incentives for conservation and innovation in alternative fuel technology, environmentally responsible increase in domestic oil production, reducing cumbersome regulations, eliminating boutique fuels and building more refineries.
National Security
- We pledge to aggressively engage extremists by expanding human intelligence and covert capability. In order to protect America, we must know what our enemies are planning before they act. We are waging the first battles in a war against American freedom and idealism that may last for decades. Although the enemy is new and their tactics have changed, in order to prevail, we understand that America must remain militarily strong and diplomatically engaged.
