"If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."
America stands as a global beacon of prosperity and freedom, unmatched in its achievements for its citizens. The inseparable link between human dignity and accomplishment is evident when people are free to take risks and shape their destinies, protected from threats both at home and abroad
A strong America not only benefits its citizens but uplifts the entire world, and America’s first priority must always be to its citizens. We lead the world through example, optimism, and strength, and we encourage other nations to follow our lead, shoulder their neglected responsibilities to their citizens, and build prosperous countries that can work with America.
Through fair trade, pragmatic foreign policy, and a capable military, we can ensure that the peace and prosperity of Americans remain the highest priority of our government.
Government must always be accountable to the people. Our unchecked, unelected federal bureaucracy, driven by red tape and incompetence, is a threat to the very citizens it claims to serve. Our Founders wisely embraced federalism, recognizing that states are more attuned to the needs of their people and citizen legislators will better bear the responsibility of governing their neighbors.
Time and time again, Congress demonstrates it cannot solve the major problems facing America. It cannot even get out of the way when Washington D.C. itself created these problems. Contrast this failure to the clear success stories of states such as Florida and Texas, which are driven by citizen legislators not shying away from tackling their states’, and our nation’s, biggest problems.
There’s only one path to fix America and, following our Founders’ vision, it does not start in Washington, but rather, in the state capitols across the nation. Good policy does not trickle down from the federal government to the states—innovative state solutions catch on, spread to other states, and eventually rise to the surface when they can no longer be ignored by the stagnant swamp of the national status quo.
"Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread"
"America will never be a socialist country."
Individuals, not government, are best positioned to direct their own lives and seize the opportunities before them. The Constitution enshrines personal liberty and property rights as fundamental principles, fostering an environment where American entrepreneurs and business leaders can thrive. By ensuring that individuals are free to create and compete, our Founders set the stage for an economy driven by merit rather than bureaucratic control.
When people are free to take risks without unnecessary government interference, they can fully unlock their potential, generating wealth and opportunity that benefits not just themselves, but for their American neighbors, too. American innovation has always solved our nation’s most pressing challenges.
Excessive regulation dictated from Washington stifles this potential. When government supports rather those who build and do, the ingenuity and hard work of individuals drives job creation and economic growth. A healthy respect for personal liberty empowers citizens to shape their own destinies, ensuring that human flourishing remains at the heart of America's economic success.
