Our Platform

The AFC Platform

1. Support the orderly, but speedy withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and send them to defend our borders against illegal aliens, some of whom may be trained terrorists.

2. I oppose any amnesty of any kind for all illegal aliens. According to the study by Rice University, $70 Billion dollars is lost every year in caring for these lawbreakers, in the costs of welfare, health care, education, and criminal activities. We simply can't afford to keep supporting these people. Find them then deport them! And the U.S. Constitution should be amended to prevent their children born in our country from claiming U.S. citizenship. Defeat any attempt to give amnesty of any kind to any illegal aliens or to give them any kind of medical, educational, or welfare benefits of any kind. These are criminals who should be deported or jailed.

3. Free Trade is a fraud perpetrated by the rich fat cats of BOTH the Republican and Democratic parties. Since 1979, 43 million jobs have been lost due to the GATT, NAFTA and WTO trade agreements. The CAFTA treaty and the FTAA treaty are pending ratification. Those treaties will lead to another 3 million jobs leaving America. I support repealing all of these treasonous trade treaties.

4. Replace the Income Tax with a National Sales Tax. According to studies done by various economists, such as those at Princeton University, a 10% national sales tax would give the average American worker an immediate raise of $5,000 in his annual income. From that time on, you will determine by your spending habits how much tax you will pay to the federal government. Those who spend a lot will pay more then those who prefer to save or invest that extra money. And every single person in this country will become a taxpayer, not remain a welfare-fed federal food-stamp parasite.

5. I’m completely opposed to abortion and to the ongoing assaults against normal marriage and family life. Abortion is murder and so-called “Gay Marriage,” is a moral outrage that should be banned.

6. If you are a hard-working American suffering from an illness or injury that prevents you from working, then affordable, adequate healthcare is or should be your birthright. No American veteran wounded in battle should ever be sent a bill for the care he or she received. Yet, this administration has done just that, again and again. So much for "Compassionate Conservatism."

7. Gun control laws simply do not work as a means to control or cut down the rate of violent crime. I support the right of self defense with a firearm if necessary to defend your life or the lives of your family. I would also support a federal law to allow law-abiding citizens a right to carry a concealed weapon.
