We Support American Energy Independence

Oil, coal, natural gas, hydroelectricity and nuclear power - all produced in the United States, can provide all of our country's affordable, efficient, reliable and on demand energy needs for centuries to come.

We Support Real Elections

"... one man, one vote, in person, on Election Day, in public, with ironclad voter identification. Absentee ballots should be limited to overseas military personnel only; if you’re out of town or even the country, that’s your choice. There should be no “ballot curing,” drop-off votes, early votes, or judge-mandated late votes."
~ Michael Walsh

"... with paper ballots, hand-counted in public with multiple observers and no voting machines."
