| Now more than ever, we have to protect our Constitutional freedoms, such as our right to freely exercise faith and the right to own firearms to protect ourselves. We cannot undermine the safety of our citizens any longer--we must eliminate illegal immigration and strengthen our borders. We must also maintain our national defense by guaranteeing that our military is strong and prepared. Ensuring our safety also means continuing to lift the incredible burden our tax code has created on families and businesses, while also improving the economy so that hard-working citizens can provide for their families. |
