FIRST Adopt the FAIRTax Plan where we pay tax when we buy anything that’s new. Incorporate tariff plan to FairTax. Not needing income tax! The states will collect it the revenue for the Government..

NO sales tax on anything used!  That is double taxation! Auto’s, boats, campers, etc!  (Savings for the tax payers).

FIRE the Department of Education and hire a Constitutional Board of Director in each state to monitor its own education bylaws and it’s local history as it happened in that state with new laws voted on by the parents and legal representatives. The parent must be the Guiding light! ANYONE caught burning or degrading our American Flag gets mandatory six months working for the State Road department in  the state they degraded the Flag! Otherwise hard jail time!

Tariffs was used by President Trump to help raise money and keep expenses down. Donald Trump uses them to get United States business’s from moving to China or Mexico. When  a USA business moves to Mexico or other countries they can access the Chinese Market, Mexican Market and build their products with cheap labor and cheap materials. Inferrer steel, metals, plastics and then sell it to the USA citizens taking the U.S. factory out. Where is their Patriotism, their Honor, their loyalty to the USA? I guess we are just wanting to buy something cheap. Don’t forget cheap is not made well! Another consideration, the chance of disease could be a way of spread a new virus. Let use American products! They are our enemy!

Mexico is part of the problem. A lot of product and other things come from or through Mexico, Medical drugs are cheaper there than here. Our produce is not do good on the trip from Mexico and the country’s south. Again remember they are our enemy! Continue reading

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Cammack joined Rep. Vern Buchanan and 52 House colleagues in a letter demanding answers and accountability from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following stunning revelations that an agency supervisor instructed staff to avoid providing storm assistance to homes displaying campaign signs for President-elect Trump.

According to reports from sources inside FEMA, at least 20 homes with pro-Trump campaign signs or flags were bypassed by relief workers from late October through November, as a result of guidance from a FEMA supervisor directing workers to avoid these homes. The supervisor alleged that this practice of political discrimination was “not isolated” to Florida, but also extended to the Carolinas. She even stated that “senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they don’t know” while FEMA continues to deny assistance to storm victims across the country.

“Americans deserve better. In this country, we protect all our citizens, regardless of political affiliation. We urge FEMA to take swift and decisive action to address this issue, hold those responsible fully accountable and restore public trust in its ability to serve every American in need,” said the lawmakers in the letter.

Dear Neighbor,

This week, President Trump has continued to announce strong American leaders to fill his cabinet! The 20th of January is quickly approaching, and I cannot wait to see President Trump take command. After four years of runaway inflation, a disastrous border crisis, rising crime, and more, we’re ready for a breath of fresh air.

The Chair of the House Agriculture Committee, Glenn “GT” Thompson, recently visited our home in Florida’s Third to speak with farmers and survey the agricultural damage from Hurricane Helene. As Chairman, Representative Thompson has the knowledge and ability to shape policy in support of our farmers. With the Farm Bill awaiting action in the Senate, it’s critical that we keep pushing for its passage and vocally supporting the amazing work of our producers. Thank you for visiting, Mr. Chairman.
