(emocrats an )epublicans only bring us more #ar #ith less prosperity an less free om. 'heyreali e that continuously voting for the lesser evil al#ays results in evil.'hey hunger for real solutions.

People are esperate to cast their vote for people of stea fast principles. 'hey are rea y to try aifferent approach. 'hey are rea y to vote for economic free om an in ivi ual liberty. 'hey are

#aiting for someone to tell them that they have another choice.

That someone is you.

'he true solution is to revoke government%s authority to regulate subsi i e bail out an give preferential treatment to corporations.

Government Regulationss someone #ho meets #ith many small- an me ium-si e business o#ners across "lori a / hear one

specific complaint all the time F Federal regulations are preventing me from growing my business andhiring new workers.

,any business o#ners in "lori a intentionally stop e$pan ing as soon as they reach 6: employees.Why@ +ecause #hen they reach 7 employees the regulations impose on them by the fe eralgovernment increase ramatically. Complying #ith these regulations is a serious bur en an greatlyincreases the cost of oing business. /%ve been tol by countless business o#ners that they% like tohire more employees an e$pan their business but the a itional compliance costs an regulatoryhea aches are simply not #orth it.

Bver regulation is hin ering our economic gro#th an costing us jobs. "or the solution #e simplynee to look to the #is om of the =.*. Constitution.

'he FCommerce Clause of the =nite *tates Constitution gives the fe eral government the un isputeauthority to regulate commerce between the several states.

businesses shoul #e choose to e$ercise that po#er #here it #as eeme it necessary an proper."lori a alrea y has regulatory bo ies that oversee commerce labor an the environment #ithin thestate. /f #e the people etermine regulation is necessary #e #ill still have the authority to enforce it

on the state level.

Entitlement Programs'here is absolutely no oubt that there are many people in nee in our state an nation. / strongly

believe that #e as a society have a uty to help them. +ut oes government have the authority toforce people to help othersLun er the threat of violence an imprisonment for failing to o so@ Charityshoul be voluntary contributions an not entitlements fun e through threats an force uponta$payers.

s #e kno# government entitlement programs are al#ays astronomically inefficient e$tremely costlyto our economy an rife #ith frau an abuse. lso the nature of entitlement programs fosters

epen ency upon government an provi es no incentive for people to take personal responsibility toimprove their o#n lives.

Private charities are generally much more efficient promote in epen ence an have a much more positive outcome on the people they serve.

s governor / #oul seek to re uce government entitlement programs #hile simultaneously promoting an encouraging participation in private charitable organi ations.

La or !nions/ have no problem #ith labor unions per se.


13/27


s is usually the case the solution is to limit government po#er.

/f government lacke the authority to provi e benefits to unions then unions #oul have no incentiveto attempt to influence government.

'hus the vast sums of money that unions currently spent on lobbying an campaign contributionscoul instea be use to irectly help union members in the form of increase benefits or re uceunion membership ues. 'he unions #oul still have po#er in their relationship #ith employers ascollective representatives of the employees.

/ also strongly oppose force participation in unions. =nion membership shoul al#ays be voluntary./n ivi uals shoul be free to join or not join a union. 5mployers shoul be free to employ or notemploy union members.
