3. Individual Liberty
• Individual Sovereignty is premised
upon the relationship between the
rights of an individual as sovereign
and a servant government. As the
result of the Revolutionary War, the
people were recognized as the
authority because no one was above
them. This allowed the people to
create their own servant government
for protection of life liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
Our Republic is a
government founded in
the individual sovereignty
of the people.
4. National & State
Constitutions
•A Constitution, either the U.S.
Constitution or State Constitutions,
are the rulebook by which we play the
game of government and should not
be circumvented, but rather changed
if necessary according to its own
ratifying protocol. All laws must pass
the test of constitutionality.
Restore our Founding
Fathers original intent
of the Letter and Spirit
of Constitutional Law.
5. Free Market & Capitalism
• Our success in developing our
nation’s wealth determines the
soundness and stability of
money. Privately held and
publicly traded businesses are
the source of our nation’s
wealth, which is best overseen
by government but regulated by
consumers.
A strong Free Market
based in Capitalism
ensures prosperity and
stability.
6. Limited Government
•Government becomes a big,
intrusive, inefficient burden when it
oversteps the constraints set by the
constitution. Government limited by
constitutional constraints encourages
and nourishes the sovereign person
into action. Taxes must be necessary,
constitutional, and appropriate for a
fiscally responsible government.
Success is best left
to the people with
minimal government
intervention.
7. Environmental
Responsibility
•To promote responsible use of natural
resources and minimize waste through
source reduction and recycling; handle
and dispose of wastes through safe,
environmentally responsible methods;
encourage energy efficiency and the use of
renewable energy sources; and encourage
consumers to strive for the same high level
of environmental responsibility.
Intelligent use of
Natural
Resources.
8. National Security
• In order for our Nation to be
secure we must have a highly
skilled, high tech military. We
must have a government that is
willing to negotiate as well a
government willing to wield the
sword. The foundation to our
National Security is our
Solvency.
Ensuring Peace

Strength
