Rescued From Oblivion - Harry Reid's Opponent, Sharron Angle's Issues Page. Can't Make This Up!

[TomCADem]

I have to say. Sharron Angle's issues speak for themselves. Of course, this page is nowhere to be found now, as her positions will now be sanitized for the general voting public. But, here is Sharron Angle, Republican nominee for Senate, in all her crazy glory thanks toGoogle cashed:

REASONS SHARRON ANGLE IS RUNNING FOR U.S. SENATE

Like a soldier going to war, Sharron Angle has the training and is battle tested. Sharron Angle is fighting for her country, the Constitution of the United States and a free society. Sharron Angle has a proven record that Nevadans and Americans can trust. It is not what Sharron Angle says Sharron Angle will do, but what Sharron Angle has done and will continue to do.

The rule of law is America’s foundation. The oath of office, to protect and defend the constitution, is a sacred trust. Sharron Angle honors both the law and the oath and will reject back door deals and closed secret meetings.

The practice of legislators voting for unconstitutional laws has fostered cynical voter apathy and has underscored the corruption that is pervasive throughout America’s government. Sharron Angle’s work in the Nevada State Legislature demonstrates that she has a reputation of her word being her bond. One specific example is the vote Sharron Angle cast against the split roll property taxes that violated Nevada’s constitutional uniform and equal property tax provision. Sharron Angle’s vote was the only vote cast for the protection of the Nevada Constitution.

Sharron Angle’s overall political philosophy is that proper government exists only by the consent of the governed and government must be restrained from intruding into the freedoms of its citizens. In the Nevada State Legislature, Sharron Angle consistently fought for smaller and more efficient government, traditional values, lower taxes and the right of the people to vote and petition.

Americans must elect people who are willing to keep their oath of office to defend and protect the constitution. Sharron Angle has and will continue to base her decisions upon the constitution and the desires of her constituents.

Social Security and its attendant Medicare are broken and bankrupt systems because we, as voting citizens, have allowed congress to transform these systems from insurance programs to and entitlement programs. The government must continue to keep its contract with seniors, who entered into the system on good faith and now are depending on that contract. (Pat Boone, a champion for seniors and the spokesman for 60’s Plus, has endorsed Sharron Angle’s candidacy.)

Free market alternatives, which offer retirement choices to employees and employers, must be developed and offered to those still in their wage earning years, as the Social Security system is transitioned out. Young workers must be encouraged to investigate personal retirement account options.

Doctors and hospitals must receive timely payments and emergency rooms can no longer serve as primary care facilities for the uninsured.

ENERGY POLICY

Rapid increases in gas prices must be addressed, with short-term efforts that bring immediate relief and long-term energy policy changes that reduce America’s dependence on Middle East oil.

As a long-term policy, America must expand its own domestic energy supplies. Sharron Angle would legislate to repeal regulations that prohibit off shore drilling, drilling in ANWR and development of American owned petroleum resources. In the Nevada State Legislature, Sharron Angle led efforts to reduce Nevada’s high gas tax, which was the second highest in the nation.

Sharron Angle would have supported the three coal fired plants in Ely, that Harry Reid killed.

For nearly twenty years, Sharron Angle has been in favor of Yucca Mountain, as a profitable center for reprocessing, not a nuclear landfill and dumping ground. Yucca Mountain and the Nuclear Energy industry have long been demonized and demagogued by Harry Reid. In 2005, Sharron Angle voted for a resolution rejecting Yucca mountain as a dead-end nuclear dump.

Yucca Mountain has enormous potential for fulfilling the need in America for clean, cost efficient energy, as well as economic diversity for Nevada and much needed jobs for thousands.

As your Nevada Senator, Sharron Angle would:

Promote Nevada, as the nuclear energy capital of reprocessing spent fuels for the United States.
Invite scientists to do research and development in a secure test site environment as well as mentoring students who would come to UNR and UNLV to study under these great minds.


Introduce and shepherd legislation that would remove the prohibitions on reprocessing in the United States, as well as, the executive order agreement with France, which prohibits reprocessing in the US and has strangled domestic reprocessing.
Reverse Harry Reid's actions, which have reneged on the contract with the nuclear industry for storage of nuclear spent fuels at Yucca Mountain. This contract should be negotiated in terms of reprocessing those fuels at Yucca Mountain and using those reprocessed fuels to fire nuclear power plants on site at Yucca.

Educate Nevadans and Americans, on the safe transportation of nuclear spent fuels since 1954 over 400 million miles without an accident.

Cap and Trade will injure the free market system and cripple America’s energy supplies. Cap and Trade, which is based on an unscientific hysteria over the man-caused global warming hoax, steps over the constitutional boundaries of the federal government and is merely another way to tax the people.

Sharron Angle will vote “no” on Cap and Trade.

TAXATION

As your U.S. Senator, Sharron Angle will introduce legislation in line with her economic policy of:

Pay back the deficit
Cut back on spending, taxation and regulation
Take back the economy by defunding ObamaCare
Auditing the “Fed” (Federal Reserve)
Abolishing the 67,000-pages of IRS code
Making the capital gains and death tax cuts permanent
Sharron Angle signed the National Taxpayers Pledge to vote against tax and fee increases.

Sharron Angle believes in limited government and limited taxes to perform and administer essential public needs.

In the Nevada State Legislature, Sharron Angle was consistently the only vote, against unnecessary tax increases. Sharron Angle is proud of her record, as a member of the Assembly, to have voted against more than 100 attempts to increase taxes and fees.

NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC PROTECTION

Because the war on terror is the central challenge of our time, Sharron Angle supports a military force of superior strength and readiness to deter all threats to America’s national security. The safety and freedom of American citizens is paramount.

Without equivocation, the U.S. military must be equipped with the best possible weapons and intelligence. Sharron Angle will never forsake the U.S. military, whether their mission is foreign or domestic. Sharron Angle will work tirelessly to secure the safety, health and welfare of the nation’s military.

Sharron Angle supports strong sanctions against rogue nations that export, support or harbor terrorism. Sanctions on these countries may include, but not be limited to, the withdrawal of visas and the institution of trade restrictions on imports and exports.

Sharron Angle opposes the placement of U.S. troops under any foreign command, including the United Nations. Neither the United Nations nor any foreign capital should be allowed to regulate U.S. troops. Sharron Angle pledges to preserve the United States’ sovereign right of to defend the security of American citizens and to regulate its military.

The U.N. has been captured by the far left and has become ineffective and costly. The U.N. continually threatens U.S. sovereignty, with endless rhetoric and treaties and it has now become the “umpire” on fraudulent science, such as global warming. The United State needs to withdraw from the United Nations and work solely with America’s willing allies.

Israel, a democratic nation, is the United States’ strongest ally in the Middle East. Israel’s sovereignty, stability and security are in the best interests of the United States, especially when dealing with radical Islamic terrorism.

When the U.S. engages diplomatically with its allies, the U.S. must always promote freedom around the world. The United States must encourage its allies to join in the sanctioning of those nations who harbor terrorists and encourage tyranny.

BORDER SECURITY/ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

The United States must secure its borders and enforce its laws. Sharron Angle supports an intensive physical presence on borders, including military assistance to help the Border Patrol do its job effectively.

Every day, thousands of people cross both the southern and northern borders of the United States, illegally and undetected. The intentions of these illegal aliens are unknown and there are no means to track their activities.

Sharron Angle opposes amnesty proposals, which send a ruinous signal that breaking the law is acceptable in the United States. “Illegals” must be discouraged from living comfortably within the U.S. borders. This can be achieved by eliminating access to benefits for non-citizens and anyone living in the U.S. illegally.

In the Nevada State Legislature, Sharron Angle voted against the Millennium Scholarship because it allowed non-citizens to receive, taxpayer subsidized, college tuition. Sharron Angle also authored legislation to safeguard the election process by requiring identification for voting in Nevada.

Sharron Angle has been endorsed by Minuteman PAC.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Sharron Angle supported and defended the Nevada Right to Work Law.

Sharron Angle supports a ‘balanced budget’ amendment to the Constitution.

Sharron Angle supports a single subject rule on all legislation to help eliminate pork attachments and earmarks, a supermajority two-thirds requirement for passing tax increases and spending increases and a restriction on spending growth to population plus inflation growth.

Sharron Angle is offended by bailouts, bonuses, stimulus packages and the loss of retirement accounts which continue to crater the American economy and enlarge America’s debt. These ruinous states of affair have brought rising unemployment and stock market instability.

Businesses need to be liberated from over regulation and taxation. Freedom to act would encourage the private sector to produce good paying jobs and put American citizens back to work.

Sharron Angle’s specific economic policy is pay back, cut back and take back.

First a triage of paying back the $500 billion left in stimulus funds, the $500 billion TARP funds being returned by banks and the $1 Billion in unspent budget appropriations.

Second, cut back to a capped 2010 budget by cutting five percent per year for the next five years, on a prioritized list of those departments and agencies, not including America’s contract with seniors on Social Security and Medicare and those not constitutionally enumerated. Additionally, the death tax and capital gains tax cuts should be made permanent.

Third, take back the government by defunding the ObamaCare /Healthcare law, auditing the “Fed” (Federal Reserve); dismantle Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Further, the 67,000 pages of IRS tax code designed to reward friends and punish enemies must be abolished.

Sharron Angle supports a constitutional amendment, restraining spending to no more than twenty percent of the GDP, with the exception of declared war and the requirement of a two-thirds vote of both houses to exceed the cap. Sharron Angle will work toward making a basket of commodities (metals, oil etc.) as a basis for maintaining the value of the U.S. currency.

Pork is about politics, not people. “Let’s make a deal”, Harry Reid, proved his prowess at manipulating politics by offering pork deals like the “Florida Free Ride”, the “Louisiana Purchase”, and the “Cornhusker Kickback”. There are two solutions to stopping this type of practice. Sharron Angle will author legislation that will deter the practice of pork and encourage its elimination by reinstituting the line item veto and requiring single subject legislation.

Sharron Angle believes that the1872 Mining Law is important to the economic development of Nevada and needs to remain in place, with no further regulatory erosion of the original intent of the law. Furthermore, the withdrawal of public lands from mineral development, through pressure from environmentalists, is restricting the nation’s growth and development. The withdrawal of these lands must be reversed.

Sharron Angle will strive to maintain the mining laws and provide access to public lands.

RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, SECOND AMENDMENT

Sharron Angle supports the individual constitutionally protected right of the people to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, property, as well as for other lawful purposes. She will oppose Supreme Court nominees who do not fully support our Second Amendment rights to bear arms.

Sharron Angle is qualified for a concealed weapons permit.

Sharron Angle has been endorsed by the Gun Owners of America and has an "A" rating with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

FAMILY VALUES

Sharron Angle recognizes the traditional family as the foundation of America’s society. Parents have the fundamental right and primary responsibility to direct their children and to provide nurturing care, discipline, and training in moral values.

Sharron Angle worked to pass the Constitutional Protection of Marriage Act in Nevada, which defines marriage as between one man and one woman, and Sharron Angle supports the Federal Marriage Amendment to do the same. Sharron Angle has been endorsed by Family PAC Federal, Phyllis Schlafly, and Concerned Women for America.

PROTECTION OF LIFE

All human life is precious, regardless of location, age, infirmity, or degree of dependence.
Sharron Angle is the only candidate, in this senatorial race, holding a pro-life position. In the Nevada State Legislature, Sharron Angle introduced and supported life-protecting legislation. Sharron Angle has been endorsed by Phyllis Schlafly, Life and Liberty PAC, and Concerned Women for America.

EDUCATION

As a mother, grandmother, and former school teacher, Sharron Angle is passionate about education.

Sharron Angle supported incentives that promoted competitive excellence and the rights of parents to choose public, private or at-home education.

Every child has the right to read and reading should be taught using scientifically-based reading research which emphasizes alphabetic principles (phonics).

Sharron Angle believes that the Federal Department of Education should be eliminated. The Department of Education is unconstitutional and should not be involved in education, at any level. Agencies, such as the Department of Education, have given Americans a one-size-fits-all policy and programs that fit no one, i.e. No Child Left Behind. NCLB has burdened classrooms and hamstrung teachers with testing and regulation.

The best education is the education that is controlled closest to the local level as possible. Sharron Angle believes that parents should have alternative choices and advocates for home school, vouchers and charter schools.

Sharron Angle has been endorsed by the Nevada Home School Network.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

Sharron Angle believes that campaign finance limitations must come from the candidates themselves. Sharron Angle has been endorsed by Citizens United, the group that won the U.S. Supreme Court case against McCain Feingold, as a violation of First Amendment rights to free political speech.

The U.S. Constitution is the rule of law in America. If the rule of law is violated America will lose its foundation. The matter of limiting campaign contributions has failed because big donors, who want a vested interest in campaigns, find opportunities within the loopholes in the campaign reform laws.

Sharron Angle does not accept money from casinos and unions. Sharron Angle does not oppose casinos and unions but wants to avoid the perception, by voters, that these groups might put undue pressure on her, as a legislator. All of Sharron Angle’s U.S. Senate contributions come from individuals, and seventy-five percent of those contributions come from small donors.

Sharron Angle supports a campaign law that requires immediate disclosure, of large contributions, via the internet.

that Pat Boone supports her. The Kiss of Death. If that nut job supports someone they also have to be a nut job.
