Issues
Pro-Life
As staunch defenders of liberty and guardians of the sanctity of life, we colonial militiamen stand resolutely in defense of the unborn. Just as we fight to secure the freedoms of our present and future generations, so too do we recognize the inherent dignity and right to life of every innocent soul, from the moment of conception.
Our forefathers, who forged this great nation upon the principles of justice and liberty, understood the sacredness of human life and the imperative to protect the most vulnerable among us. In their wisdom, they enshrined the unalienable right to life in our founding documents, a principle that we hold dear to this day.
Therefore, we advocate for policies that uphold the sanctity of life, including the protection of unborn children from the tragedy of abortion. Just as we defend our homes and communities from external threats, so too must we defend the innocent lives within the womb from the scourge of abortion.
We reject the false notion that a woman's right to choose supersedes the fundamental right to life of the unborn. Instead, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, regardless of age, stage of development, or circumstance.
In the spirit of our revolutionary predecessors, who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in defense of liberty, we commit ourselves to the cause of life. Let us stand united in our resolve to protect the most precious gift of all – the gift of life itself.
2nd
Amendment
We uphold the Second Amendment as a sacred bulwark of liberty and a cornerstone of our nation's founding principles. Just as our ancestors stood firm against the tyranny of oppression, so too do we recognize the inherent right of every law-abiding citizen to keep and bear arms for the defense of themselves, their families, and their freedoms.
Central to this defense is the steadfast protection of firearms, including modern sporting rifles such as the AR-15. These weapons, descendants of the muskets and rifles wielded by our colonial predecessors, embody the spirit of citizen-soldiers ready to defend hearth and home against any threat, foreign or domestic.
In advocating for the preservation of the Second Amendment, we reject the misguided notion that certain firearms, including AR-15s, should be demonized or banned. Such proposals not only infringe upon our constitutional rights but also fail to address the root causes of violence and crime in our society.
Instead, we advocate for policies that target criminals and those who misuse firearms, while preserving the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms responsibly. This includes supporting measures to enhance mental health services, improve school security, and strengthen law enforcement efforts to combat illegal firearms trafficking.
Furthermore, we recognize that firearms ownership is not only a right but also a responsibility. As colonial militiamen, we embrace the principles of safety, training, and responsible gun ownership, ensuring that firearms are used lawfully and ethically in defense of ourselves, our communities, and our liberties.
In the spirit of our revolutionary ancestors, who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in defense of liberty, we stand united in our commitment to uphold and defend the Second Amendment – including the right to keep and bear arms, including AR-15s – against all who would seek to undermine it.
Sound
Money
In these uncertain times, as we stand upon the precipice of economic instability and governmental overreach, it is paramount that we uphold the sacred principles upon which our great nation was founded. As colonial militiamen, we are duty-bound to safeguard the liberties bestowed upon us by Divine Providence, including the sanctity of our monetary system.
Our forefathers, wise and visionary men, recognized the intrinsic value of sound money rooted in the timeless principles of gold and silver. They understood that a stable currency, backed by tangible assets, serves as a bulwark against the perils of inflation, fiscal irresponsibility, and centralized control.
Therefore, we staunchly advocate for the restoration of constitutional money, whereby gold and silver shall once again be recognized as the lawful tender of our land. Such a return to sound monetary policy is not merely a matter of fiscal prudence, but a reaffirmation of our commitment to the timeless ideals of liberty, self-determination, and economic sovereignty.
Under a system of constitutional money, the pernicious influence of fiat currency, subject to the whims of bureaucrats and politicians, shall be cast aside. Instead, we shall embrace a monetary framework rooted in the immutable laws of nature and the wisdom of ages past.
Let us heed the lessons of history and the admonitions of our founding fathers, who understood that a nation's prosperity is inexorably linked to the soundness of its currency. As colonial militiamen, we pledge to stand firm in our defense of constitutional money, ensuring that future generations inherit a legacy of fiscal responsibility and economic freedom.
Responsible
Budgeting
As guardians of the sacred principles of liberty and fiscal responsibility, we colonial militiamen recognize the paramount importance of prudent state budgeting. Just as we diligently safeguard our homes and communities from external threats, so too must we exercise vigilance in stewarding the resources entrusted to us by the hardworking citizens of our great land.
In honoring the legacy of our revolutionary forebears, who sacrificed so much to secure the blessings of liberty for future generations, we uphold the principle that government must operate within its means and live within a balanced budget. We reject the notion of reckless spending and runaway deficits, which only serve to burden our citizens with undue taxation and saddle future generations with mountains of debt.
Therefore, we advocate for policies that prioritize fiscal discipline, accountability, and transparency in state budgeting processes. This includes enacting responsible spending limits, eliminating wasteful programs and bureaucratic inefficiencies, and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are allocated wisely and prudently to meet the essential needs of our communities.
Furthermore, we recognize that a thriving economy is essential to the prosperity and well-being of our citizens. As such, we support policies that promote economic growth, job creation, and opportunity for all. By fostering a business-friendly environment, reducing regulatory burdens, and encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, we can unleash the full potential of our economy and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
Medical
Freedom
We recognize the fundamental right of every citizen to make their own medical choices free from coercion or undue interference by government or other entities. Just as we fought against tyranny and oppression to secure our freedoms, so too do we stand firm in defense of medical freedom – the right to determine what is best for our own bodies and those of our families.
In honoring the legacy of our revolutionary predecessors, who valiantly resisted encroachments upon their liberties, we reject any attempts to impose mandates that infringe upon our medical autonomy. Whether it be forced vaccinations, intrusive medical interventions, or mandates that dictate what treatments we can or cannot receive, we steadfastly oppose any measures that undermine our rights to make informed decisions about our health and well-being.
Therefore, we advocate for policies that uphold and protect medical freedom, including the right to refuse medical treatments, procedures, or interventions that we deem to be against our best interests or beliefs. This includes safeguarding the doctor-patient relationship, preserving medical privacy, and ensuring that individuals have access to a wide range of healthcare options that respect their autonomy and personal values.
Furthermore, we reject any efforts to stigmatize or marginalize those who choose to exercise their medical freedom. Just as we respect the choices of others to live their lives according to their own beliefs and values, so too must we respect their right to make their own medical decisions free from coercion or judgment.
School
Choice
We recognize the inherent right of parents to make the best educational choices for their children. Just as we fought against tyranny and oppression to secure our freedoms, so too do we stand firm in defense of school choice – the right of parents to choose the educational environment that best meets the needs and values of their families.
In honoring the legacy of our revolutionary predecessors, who valiantly resisted encroachments upon their liberties, we reject any attempts to limit educational options and force families into a one-size-fits-all system. We believe that every child deserves access to a high-quality education tailored to their individual learning styles, interests, and abilities.
Therefore, we advocate for policies that expand school choice options, including charter schools, private schools, homeschooling, and educational vouchers or tax credits. These options empower parents to choose the educational setting that aligns with their values, beliefs, and educational goals for their children.
Furthermore, we believe that competition and innovation are essential drivers of excellence in education. By fostering a diverse ecosystem of educational options, we can spur innovation, improve outcomes, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
No
New
Taxes
As inheritors of the revolutionary spirit that ignited the Boston Tea Party, we stand resolute in our commitment to fiscal responsibility and limited government. Just as our forefathers rose up against unjust taxation without representation, so too do we reject any attempts to burden the hardworking citizens of our nation with unnecessary and oppressive taxes.
The Boston Tea Party was a watershed moment in our nation's history, a bold assertion of our rights as freeborn citizens to resist tyranny and defend our liberties. Today, we must remain vigilant in safeguarding the principles for which our ancestors fought and died, including the principle that taxation should be fair, transparent, and subject to the consent of the governed.
Therefore, we advocate for policies that prioritize fiscal discipline, efficiency, and accountability in government spending, rather than resorting to the easy solution of raising taxes. We reject the notion that government's insatiable appetite for revenue should be satisfied on the backs of hardworking taxpayers who already bear a heavy burden.
Furthermore, we believe that economic prosperity and job creation are best fostered in an environment of low taxes, limited regulation, and free enterprise. By unleashing the creative energies of the American people and allowing businesses to thrive without undue government interference, we can ensure a brighter future for ourselves and generations yet unborn.
In the spirit of our revolutionary ancestors, who stood firm against the tyranny of unjust taxation, we stand united in our commitment to resist any new taxes that threaten our freedoms and prosperity.
Privacy
In our view, privacy is not merely a matter of personal convenience, but a fundamental human right that must be upheld and protected. We reject any attempts to erode our privacy rights in the name of security or convenience, recognizing that the erosion of privacy is a slippery slope toward tyranny and oppression.
Therefore, we advocate for policies that safeguard individual privacy rights, including limitations on government surveillance, data collection, and information sharing. We believe that the government should be held to the highest standards of transparency and accountability when it comes to the collection and use of personal data, with strict limitations in place to prevent abuse and ensure due process rights are upheld.
Furthermore, we support efforts to empower individuals to control their own personal information and make informed choices about how it is shared and used. This includes robust data protection laws, strong encryption standards, and greater transparency and accountability from tech companies and other entities that collect and process personal data.
ESG
It is with great concern and solemn duty that I address the insidious encroachment of ESG – Environmental, Social, and Governance – initiatives upon our cherished freedoms and principles. As colonial militiamen, defenders of liberty and guardians of our heritage, we cannot stand idly by as this nefarious agenda seeks to undermine the very foundations of our society.
ESG purports to promote sustainability and social justice, but in reality, it is a Trojan horse for socialist ideology and government overreach. Under the guise of environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility, ESG initiatives seek to impose burdensome regulations, punitive taxes, and intrusive mandates that stifle economic growth and erode individual liberties.
The environmental component of ESG is particularly troubling, as it seeks to impose radical environmental policies that prioritize the interests of special interest groups over the needs of hardworking Americans. These policies threaten to cripple our economy, destroy jobs, and undermine our energy independence, all in the name of a dubious climate agenda based on flawed science and fearmongering.
Furthermore, the social and governance aspects of ESG are little more than thinly veiled attempts to impose leftist ideology and social engineering upon our society. By promoting diversity quotas, corporate activism, and politically correct speech codes, ESG seeks to undermine traditional values and impose a one-size-fits-all worldview that is antithetical to the principles of liberty and individual responsibility.
