THE MARSTON CHRONICLES

1. Government interference in our lives should be kept to the absolute minimum necessary to provide for our health and safety.

2. Government has no right to confiscate our money or property for any purpose except for providing for our health and safety and the education of children.

1. Mandatory term limits should be established for all members of Congress to eliminate the professional political class that now causes far more problems than it solves.

2. Deficit spending should be limited to real emergencies because both the government and all our people need to learn to live within their means.

3. The tax system needs to be overhauled so that the entire burden is spread out equally among all citizens except for the poorest among us.

4. The President should have a line item veto in budgetary matters as the best way to prevent Congressional overspending and the disgraceful practice of earmarks.

5. Each state should be permitted to enact laws that find broad support in their own constituencies.

1. It is not government’s role to redistribute wealth and thus wealth should not be forcibly taken from those who have earned it and given to those who have not.

2. Government intervention in a free market economy only makes bad situations worse.

3. We believe that any subsidies of private interests should only be undertaken with the greatest of caution and then only on a temporary basis as a loan and not a grant.

4. Multilateral, regional, and bilateral agreements to reduce trade barriers that limit market access for U.S. products, commodities and services are essential for our safety and prosperity.

1. Our nation cannot be safe unless our borders are secure.

2. Jihadists pose a grave threat to our nation and we should prevent them from realizing their goals by whatever means necessary.

3. Maintaining the world’s most powerful military is essential to our national security – and survival.

4. Dependence on foreign energy imports makes us extremely vulnerable as a nation and thus all domestic sources of energy from any source should be pursued vigorously. All possible means and methods of energy conservation that can be shown to have a positive impact on our country should be vigorously pursued.

1. Our nation should supply aid only to governments that demonstrate their friendship to us in tangible ways, except in case of disaster.

2. We should always be willing to extend the hand of friendship to any country that practices open democracy and provides for free elections.

3. The nation of Israel has a right to exist and thus we should supply whatever assistance that is required to see that it maintains that right.

4. Any nation that in any way sponsors terrorism should be ostracized by our country and thus there should be no limits to our assisting citizens of that country to overthrow such a government.

5. Military intervention to prevent genocide anywhere in the world is justifiable.

1. Our justice system needs serious reform with a view to providing equal justice for all of our citizens.

2. Only strict constructionist judges should be appointed to the federal courts.

3. "Victimless" crimes should be decriminalized to allow more room in jails to hold individuals who threaten the health and safety of others.

4. Victim rights should at a minimum be equal to the rights of those who have been accused of committing the crime against the victim.

5. Criminals should be barred from seeking monetary damages for injuries they incur while committing a crime.

1. Good health care has become increasingly beyond the means of most Americans and we want this fixed without having government running the system.

2. American drug companies should not be able to sell drugs in other countries at lower prices than they charge for them in the United States.

3. Prescription medicine advertising should be banned because it unnecessarily increases the price of already expensive drugs.

4. Monetary caps should be placed on damages awarded in medical malpractice cases as well as on how much of the award a lawyer can get.

5. A federal registry of doctors who have lost their license to practice in any state should be created that can be shared with other states so bad doctors cannot move to another state and go right back into butchering people.

1. The social security system is vital to our nation and should be reformed to make it financially sound.

2. Our country's future demands the best education system in the world and equal opportunity for children means an equal dollar amount behind each student.

3. There are not enough females in elected positions and we strongly encourage and support having a gender balance in such positions.

4. There should be equal pay for equal work; age, gender, religion, ethnic background, race, physical and /or mental disabilities, and sexual orientation should not affect compensation in any way.


5. Judicial decisions regarding marriage in one state, as opposed to legislative ones, should not automatically have to be recognized by other states.

6. The abortion of any fetus capable of sustaining life outside the womb should be illegal under all circumstances except to save the life of the mother even if mechanical assistance is required to sustain that life.
