2. Abortion We are Pro-life We believe that all life is sacred, no matter how basic that form is

3. Gay Rights Regardless of one’s views on the morality of gay marriage, it is not a government issue; therefore, we advocate gay rights.

4. Death Penalty We believe that the death penalty should be abolished.

5. Environment Efforts to stop pollution Encourage recycling Encourage research on more effective and efficient fueling methods, especially in heavily polluted areas Whether or not global warming is an issue, the health of people and animals in heavily polluted areas must be considered.

6. Energy It is a fact: one day, our fossil fuels will run out. Therefore, we believe in finding alternative energy sources. While we currently need to continue to drill for oil and use other fossil fuels, it is necessary to look for other sources of energy.

7. Taxes We believe that there should be a flat tax of 20% for everyone, regardless of their income This will help alleviate some of the problems that have been created by tax increases and cuts

There should be private practices for all other matters In addition students will be encouraged to pursue medical careers. To aid in this encouragement specific scholarships will be created to aid the students who plan to attend pre-medical and medical schools

10. Medicare For those without insurance, the government will only provide aid in life- threatening or potentially permanently disabling situations. Government will regulate insurance companies to ensure that their rates can be easily paid by the average individual.

12. Education We believe in generous support to keep our education system running at its highest potential.

13. Foreign Policy Pursue peace, but keep a strong military in case of incident. We do not believe on rash usage of the military. However, military spending should not be cut.
