Fred Witzell's Citizen Mandate To the 112th Congress (my answers in bold)
Does the new Republican leadership in Congress have a mandate to change Washington, D.C.?
Yes, but only if citizens continue to hold all elected officials accountable
The issues I believe are important for the new Congress to address:
Limiting the size and scope of government
My CITIZEN MANDATE on government-run healthcare:
I am calling for ObamaCare to be REPEALED immediately
My CITIZEN MANDATE on illegal immigration:
Border security must be increased and those in our country illegally should be punished to the full extent of the law and deported
My CITIZEN MANDATE on the federal debt:
The federal debt is a serious problem but the answer is not higher taxes. Instead, we must cap spending and grow the economy
My CITIZEN MANDATE on government spending:
Government spending is our of control and the federal government should be required to reduce its annual budget every year until the budget is balanced
My CITIZEN MANDATE on TARP and other government bailouts:
Federal bailouts of the private sector such as the TARP program must be stopped immediately and any unspent funds returned to the taxpayers.
My CITIZEN MANDATE on taxes:Make your voice heard too!
I oppose any and all new taxes and want the Bush Tax Cuts made permanent
My CITIZEN MANDATE on government takeover of industry
The federal government should cease and desist its socialistic takeover of industry and return companies like General Motors, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to the private sector
My CITIZEN MANDATE on government welfare:
Social welfare and entitlement programs are undermining the long-term solvency of our nation and must first be capped and then reduced.
The issues I believe are important for the new Congress to address:
No taxpayer-funded abortions in federal legislation or programs
Embrace free-market solutions over Government involvement
Safeguarding individual liberties of citizens
Stopping the Socialist push to remake our nation
Strengthening our defense against radical Islam's war against the West
Securing our borders and stopping illegal immigration
Restoring limited government under the Constitution
Stopping the war on small business
Repealing ObamaCare
Maintaining the tax cuts for all Americans
Reducing the deficit and government spending
The SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE I believe the new Congress should address:
Repealing ObamaCare
