Reforming The Republican Party

What me must embrace and understand in or order to restore the party and rebuild hope for a better tomorrow

1) We need to focus on implementing Lean Economics into our government spending. By eliminating waste, cutting duplicate programs, investing in infrastructure improvement and streamlining the process we can get our economy moving and growing again. We must reform welfare programs to provide help instead of being a hand out. We need to plan social security so that every American is protected for ten years beyond their expected life span, not only protecting seniors, but preparing America so that there is a contingency plan the next time America faces an economic crisis. We need to eliminate the trade deficit by encouraging fair trade and re-investing in the American made label.

2)We need to overhaul our legislative process requiring every bill that passes through congress to encompass a single issue, with clear precise language that can be understood by every American. We need to make every vote and every issue open to the public. We need to encourage every American to take an active interest in the political system. We need a system that assures us of a straight up and down vote. We must require our lawmakers to vote yes or no or not at all. Most Americans get paid by the hour and our legislature needs to get paid by the issue. By reducing the size of legislation and ensuring a vote on it our government can get more done. We need to restore integrity, honesty and accountability to government and by keeping things simple clear and concise we can regain the respect of the American people.

3)We need to reduce our gross domestic product and eliminate earmarks. We need to streamline government agencies reducing the size of the central government. The federal government needs to become the over site committee it was intended to be and not the huge multi conglomerate it has become. We need to eliminate several departments in our government and delegate spending to projects that benefit all Americans instead of individuals or parties.

4) We need to strengthen our military and national security so that we don't have to spend billions of dollars nation building and fighting terrorists abroad. We need to stop privatizing and outsourcing our nations security. We need to end no bid government contracts. We need accountability in defense spending. We need to bolster our port and airport security by requiring every airport in American to hire federal law enforcement officers to head security operations and protect our ports so that routine security measures mirror those of the State Department. We need to fight the war on drugs within and at America's borders and not in someone else's backyard. We need to ensure our military, law enforcement, drug enforcement and security personnel are all paid substantially better and have their backgrounds screened much more thoroughly. At the same time me must invest in better technology that will improve security and efficiency. If we ensure our country defenses are the best domestically and that every government official has a vested interest in our nation's security while using our military responsibility, we can reduce the strain on our servicemen and intelligence agencies. By investing in our security at home we can greatly reduce our burden overseas and make a move forward to repair diplomacy with nations that have become tense with our current international policy. But we must be clear that we can never fail to defend our freedom and sovereignty.


5) Last but surely not least we need to stop being so divisive. We need to reach across party lines not inside capitol hill, but throughout America where it really counts. We need to show America that being Christian and being Republican is not about passing judgment or condemning those that don't share our beliefs. There is a need to show every American that the Republican party is truly the party of compassion. We need to be truly Pro Life and not just anti-abortion. We must fight harder to reduce global poverty and famine at home and abroad. We need to use our powers to continue to battle infectious diseases and chronic illness at home and abroad. We need to help every American find affordable health care and housing and an overall of primary education so that every dollar is well spent. We need to push for more creativity, arts and music to stimulate our children with a desire to learn and grow. We need more long term, low interest loans to subsidize higher education so every American has an opportunity at a degree. We need to help every American reduce consumer driven debt so that we can be the fathers of prosperity again. Lets be the party of the people by giving the power back to the people, restoring America's pride and helping every American reach their potential.
