Energy
and Economy
I
will embrace and lead a
comprehensive energy policy that includes the gas for your car and the
electricity in your house. Our solution to energy cannot be solved by
strangling producers with regulation or limiting domestic supply. I
believe
that our solution to energy means leaving nothing off the table. This
involves looking
at three primary changes to congressional policy:
- Start
environmentally
conscientious domestic drilling in the costal plain of ANWR, drilling
offshore
and utilizing oil shale. This
can be
done safely and relatively quickly.
- Safe and
effective nuclear
electricity plants and implementing new clean coal technologies to
combat an
expected doubling of electricity prices in the next few years.
- Expand
renewable energy choices
for consumers even as we recognize that over 93% of our energy comes
from oil,
gas, coal and nuclear power.
Jobs
and Economy
I
will lead to create a
business friendly environment in Wisconsin.
We have lost our cutting edge in new business and job creation because
of all
the red tape the Democrat Congress has wrapped around businesses.
Businesses
are going overseas and cutting workers and this must stop. Not only
must we
increase our jobs for university graduates but we must open up jobs
opportunity, jobs on the first rungs of the career ladder that allow
the young,
new legal immigrants and those coming off of welfare to launch a
successful career.
Wisconsin
Family Values
Our
Founders could not have
said it better when they said that we have been endowed by our Creator
with
life—and you can count on me to protect it. I will protect
life from your
grandchild still only visible as a heartbeat or ultrasound, to those
with
disabilities, or your elderly grandma. I also agree with the people of Wisconsin
who passed by
large margins a state constitutional amendment to protect the sanctity
of
traditional marriage. I will continue to support an America
where we strive to the goal
of having our children grow up with a mom and a dad.
Second
Amendment Rights
The
D.C. v. Heller case provides an
excellent return to a sound
understanding of the American right to have and bear arms. Wisconsin
citizens use arms for hunting, recreation, and most importantly,
self-protection and I support this American right and tradition.
Lower
Taxes and Smaller Government
I
believe that you know how
to spend your own money better than the government. The
citizens of the 2nd
Congressional District are served best by a small government dedicated
to
essential needs. I will work to limit the scope of the government and
reduce
the tax burden on the people of Wisconsin.
Protecting
America
We
are in the middle of the
war on terror. The current Congress has failed to provide leadership to
defeat
terror activities in Iraq
so
that our troops can troops can come home knowing they have fulfilled
the steps
necessary to provide for a safer America.
Terrorists not only reside
in Iraq
but around the world
in Afghanistan,
Pakistan,
India,
and even within our own borders.
We must win the war on terror and continue to defend our country.
Your
Healthcare
Most
of those employed who
lack health insurance come from small businesses that have difficulty
securing
low-cost health insurance for their employees. I believe that one of
the most
important steps to take is to allow small businesses to pool together
to
provide greater coverage for those who lack health insurance.
