You want to know the issues? I have the answers... Pass this on..

• You want Race to quit being an issue? Don't bring it up in your campaign. Period.


• You want peace in our time? Stop handcuffing the hands of our commanders behind their backs and let them achieve peace through strength.


• You want to create jobs? Quit regulating how businesses conduct themselves and Quit forcing payroll policies on businesses. Don't tell them they can't have smokers as customers and don't tell them how to cook their french fries.


• You want to curb the cost of health care in this country? Remove yourself from the equation.


• You want to control the "out of control" food prices? Quit forcing a bad product on the American people and use corn for what it was intended for.. food.


• You want to control the "out of control oil prices". Remove the restictions on drilling where the resources are in this country.


• You want to talk about stopping illegal immigration? Keep your promise and build the fence that was legally funded in 2006.


• You want to stop home grown terrorism? Look for terrorists, not shampoo bottles.


• Mike Huckabee says the average Joe wants a president that reminds him of the guy he worked with, not the guy who laid him off. Mike Huckabee doesn't know anything about the average Joe, and I, as an average Joe want a leader for a president, not a pal.


• Hillary Clinton says the average Joe wants a likable president. Hillary Clinton has no idea what the average Joe wants. I don't want my president to be liked by our enemies, foreign and domestic. I want a president who will, as commander in chief of our military, instill fear in our enemies, both foreign and domestic.


• John McCain says the average American Joe won't pick lettuce in Yuma, Arizona for even 50 dollars an hour. John McCain thinks illegals are gonna make him President. John McCain never met me, or any of my brothers.


• John McCain says the answer to politicians receiving bad campaign money is to stop everyone from giving any campaign money. (See Amendment; First)


• John Edwards says there are two Americas so he is gonna take from one America and give to the other America. FDR and Woodrow Wilson would be proud. Enough said.


• Rudy Guiliani says we need to know who the illegals are and the only way to do that is to play big brother by building yet another database.


• Rudy also says he's pro choice, but he would appoint constructionist Justices (like our current president *ahem* did - See Gonzalez, Alberto and Miers, Harriet)


• Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want to give illegals drivers licenses while Mike Huckabee wants to give them in state tuition.


• Mike Huckabee says that cutting taxes by 25 percent in one area of his over taxed state while raising taxes by 50% (500 million dollars) is still a tax cut.


• Our tax system is so convoluted that you have to pay so called experts 75 dollars to file your returns for you, while you get blamed for it whether or not H&R Block screwed up. And oh yeah.. You can pay an additional 10% of your so-called refund to get your money quicker...


• Our tax system says that my 15 year old son is not my son because I make 75,000 dollars a year, but my 24 year old son is my of my dependents because I make less than 82,400 dollars a year.


• All of the candidates think that the most important part of a tax cut is how it will be paid for. Got that? How do we, the American people, pay the Federal Government to let us keep more of our money, so we can give it back to them because they need it more than we do...


... see point number 1. A strong economy starts in my wallet.


• When the next big "stem cell research" or "Global Warming" type crisis comes along, just remember if there was a viable solution in the free market someone would have alreay made billions of dollars by implementing the solution, not by selling offset credits.

  I don't want to hear any conspiracy theories about electronic voting booths. I don't want to see you coming out of a black church on any given Sunday, and for God's sake, quit bastardizing the name of Ronald Reagan. Run on your record, not your contrived, twisted association with Ronald Reagan. If you have to invoke his name to get elected, then you are no Ronald Reagan, never have been and never will be. I know Newt Gingrich would be proud of you today but Reagan is not on the ballot: You are.

Lastly... When you come calling to my state, ringing my bell, asking me for money, I will ask you one question... What portion of your campaign addresses this one topic...
