We are entering the time where County and State Conventions are being held throughout North Carolina and the Nation. We need to get out the message we are in the battle of our lives and must fight appropriately if we are to correct the direction of this country. This is not a part time battle but in fact we must fight 24/ 7 through and beyond the election.



We need to stand by our core values, defend them and explain them to others. If I had the opportunity my speech in each Republican/ Conservative Convention would go something like this:



My fellow Americans



I speak to you today to discuss what we as a Party should be saying to the American People. It is time to take a stand on our core beliefs and ensure they are explained to the public in our terms and not as the Democrats and the Press choose to paint them to be.



As Republican/ Conservatives we believe in a strong economy with large job growth and economic opportunity for all. We support lowering the regulations that strangle business/ job growth. Understand we are not saying no regulation because some are necessary to protect the public and other business. However there currently are so many regulations written by unelected officials, the business owner often does not even know they exist until they are fined for a violation. Small business is often diverting capital from hiring people to comply with these Regs and not investing it back in the business to expand and create more jobs. Government should not be in the business of creating winners and losers.



On the energy front we support the Keystone pipeline, and developing all our natural resources including Oil, Gas and Coal. We also support alternative energy programs being developed for the future. However it should not be widely used until it is fully developed and can survive on the open market without Government support. We have enough natural resources to export out gas, coal and maybe even oil. That would do several things. First it would create many new good paying jobs. Development of these resources would also help in energy independence. Exporting resources would also help other nations not be so dependent on still other nation's political agendas



On the world stage, The US needs to regain its position of a super power. That does not mean we constantly go to war but it does mean we will work to defend our strategic interests and commitments. The world has become a more dangerous place as we continue to "lead from behind". The major role of the Federal Government is to protect us from outside invasion. For that reason we need to invest in a strong Military that is feared by all and afraid of none. Teddy Roosevelt said it best with his belief in "Speak softly but carry a big stick"



On the national front we need to look at a new tax structure. We cannot survive when over 50% of our people pay no taxes. Our tax codes need to be replaced with a fair flat tax. For example everyone pays 15% of their earnings. If you earn $100 a week you would pay $15 in taxes. If you earn $1,000,000.00 you would pay $150,000.00 in taxes. Our core beliefs support helping anyone in need but we need to train people to get off of public assistance and become self- supportive productive citizens. The critical point is it is temporary not a generational life style. We support safety nets for those in need but not hammocks for the few that chose to take advantage. We believe that all entitlements should be tied to work experience where possible.



On the religious front we support Freedom of Religion but we recognize this nation was founded on Judeo- Christian beliefs. We recognize people's right not to believe in God but equally call for them to "tolerate" our religious beliefs. The fact is Liberal /Progressives do not believe in God because they want the government to be like an "all powerful God". If they believed in a "God" then there would be absolutes and that would not allow them to rationalize their actions or beliefs.



Freedom of Speech is a two way street. If you want us to respect you beliefs and statements you need to show the same respect to ours. We will never support anyone being legally discriminated and will fight for their rights. However, if we hold religious beliefs that do not interfere with your legal rights then they must be respected. Marriage between a man and a woman is an excellent example. Civil Unions will give legal protection to the rights of those same sex partners yet preserve the sanctity of the Sacrament of Marriage common to all religions.



We are a nation of immigrants. We believe in legal immigration and sealing our nation's borders. After that we will address the illegal immigrants already in country. We are open to a fair solution once the borders are secure.



We are Pro-Life but will support abortion under certain circumstances. The health of the mother would be one example, rape another. However, we do not support abortion as a simple form of birth control. Yes a woman's body is hers to control. However with every right is also a responsibility. If we have no right to dictate your birth control decisions, why do we have a responsibility to finance the children born from those actions?



On the Education front, we believe Education is a state issue and the Federal Government has no business in the education business. We support closing the US Department of Education and the defunding of Common Core. In place, we would urge states to come together and try to develop some optional common goals/ statndards for education. We believe that all students should have equal access to a good education but not equal outcomes. People are different and as such, will and should develop different skills and outcomes. Let the States do their jobs in the education of their population.



Obama Care. We fight to repeal and replace. Keep the good provisions such as remaining on your parent's policy until 26 and not being dropped from coverage. Add provisions to cut costs like selling policies across state lines and addressing the issue of frivolous law suits.



Finally, we are not anti- Women or anti- minority. We have a large tent that covers many beliefs. Look at the battles in the Party as reported by the Press. Do you hear the same arguments in the Democratic Party? Ours in fact allows for differing opinions. We are looking for all people with similar beliefs to join us in taking back the nation the founders developed. Voter ID is not designed to take the vote from minorities. It is designed to validate each and every vote so your vote is not cancelled out by an illegal one. We will not agree 100% of the time but can come together on common beliefs.



In order to be successful we must adopt the tactics being used against us and turn them on the Liberal/Progressive/ Democratic operatives attacking our people. Send people to follow Democratic leaders and candidates and report back on anything that shows they live differently then they preach. Make ads with that information and inform the public. Challenge them to these facts in debates. Give them a taste of what they are doing to our candidates and beliefs. The other side does not stop nor should we if we expect to secure victory and maintain it once achieved



Many will say we should not stoop to their level. Although unpleasant, it has been effective and you must use the tactics being used against you to win. The best analogy is the American Revolution. Do we stand in the open and fight like the British while the opponent fires at you from cover, runs and attacks again later? Another more recent example is our President and Secretary of State saying Russia is living in the 19th or 20th Century. They believe the Russians are out of step with a 21st century belief in of a world view rather than a Nationalistic view. They are incapable of dealing with Russia because the Russians refuse to follow their view. Because of this "academic view" in a "real world", we face an ever dangerous world. We need know your enemy and react accordingly.



In summary we need mobilize a message like this one and get it out to the people. You would be surprised as to how many will support it. We also need to fight this battle 24/7 for many years.



As I said I do not think this speech will ever be made at one of our conventions but something close to it needs to be. Wake up America, we are in the fight of our lives!!!! Our kids and grandkids depend on us winning!!!!
