Enact The Fair Tax HR-25
The Fair Tax plan was created by and is supported by American citizens, not by the lobbyists who run Congress. So, inherently, it garners trust because it was created outside Washington DC.
It repeals the income tax, corporate tax, payroll taxes (FICA and MEDI), gift tax, and estate tax and repl... more

Fight to Elect Neal Horsley
Georgia gubernatorial candidate Neal Horsley is the first thing we should do with the party.
Asked if he was ready to sacrifice his own son in a national insurrection, Horsley recounts a fight with his son where he almost killed him.

Embrace the FairTax as sponsored by Rep John Linder
This is the most researched piece of legislation ever offered. Implimentation of this plan would create such a boom to our economy we would be worried about how to slow it down rather then how to stimulate it. Two books "The FairTax Book" and "FairTax: The Truth (Answering the Cr... more

End the war on drugs.
Conservatives are about FREEDOM. It's your body and you should be allowed to put whatever you want into it so long as you are not hurting others. If we change from the police state to the freedom state we will shake the political scene to its foundations. For 150 years the country did just fine... more

Small "c" conservatives
The party must return to its roots of small government and personal freedom. The current platform of exclusion and moralism is unacceptable and will result in the destruction of the party.
The republican party should be full of fiscal conservatives of multiple religions, races, and sexual orien... more

Stop "Reaching Across the Aisle" to pass Big Spending Bills
If you think the Dems are crazy Socialists, then why are you so eager to create legislation with them?
We need fewer spending bills, if you're more worried about looking "mean" than sticking to principles, then say no to Pelosi with a smile. I'm glad the election's over, because I co... more

Sarah Palin
Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!
This woman represents the best and brightest future for the Republican party. Sarah is to 2012 what Reagan was to 1980. She represents all true American ideals and really speaks to the core of the American spirit.
If you dont believe me look at the numbers.
According to ... more

Step Away from the Religious Right
Combining politics and religion is not appropriate for a freedom loving party, or really any party in the US. There is nothing inherently wrong with religion, but combining it with politics hurts both religion and politics. This is a party that should support all sorts of self governing - not j... more

Re-embrace Conservatism
We need to rediscover the conservatism that made us win landslide elections in 1980, 1984, and 1994 if we are to ever take the mantle of leadership again.
When we ran as conservatives, we won huge.
Conservatism is alive and well. If you're not sure, just look at same-sex marriage being ban... more

be inclusive.
Realize that the biggest problem with the Republican party is that it is no longer about personal freedom, but about trying to dictate one perfect way of life. I want less government. The Republican party turned into stricter government. This is not good.

Close the Primaries to Republicans ONLY
Let's face it, the MSM, Demo☭rats, and Independents helped choose our candidate. We have to stop letting them in. If those people want to support our candidates, let them do so in the general election, when they can explain WHY they should vote for us.

do a better job in Black and Latino communities under review
I'm a Black conservative/republican. 95% of Blacks vote Democrat and 60% of Latinos. Those stats are RIDICULOUS. There is no way America can become this multicultural and our party not have a plan.

Launch a drive to increase support for social conservatism
Some - clearly including a few of those on this site - would like nothing more than for the Republican party to abandon social conservatism in the name of a hands-off libertarian strategy that says "I don't care what you do, just don't bother me". While this sounds to many like paradise... more

Run Inspiring Candidates under review
The GOP has to STOP nominating the next in line. Dole, McCain. We can not keep going to the old white military hero well. Nor the Bush family. With a longer resume as governor, someone like a Sarah Palin will be that inspiration. Same for Jindal. He has a really inspiring story. We have to give p... more

Ignore Ron Paul and the Campaign for Freedom
How is it possible that the top vote-getting idea on this site right now -- by almost 300 votes -- is to embrace Ron Paul? Either Paul's legion of online supporters are trying to fill what they perceive as a vacuum in the GOP, or we're in more trouble than I thought. Hillary Clinton is not sittin... more

Reach out to Blacks, Latinos, Gays, and the Youth under review
The party needs to become more inclusive and actively reach out to these communities. It means going directly into these communities and articulating why Republican policies and philosophy are best for these communities. Being young and Black, I have seen democratic policies continue to fail, and... more
