A lot of the platform is rather generalized, and not much help (ya there is the Christian nation bit, which lacks resonance in the CD, but is rather harmless). But the plank below will scare the hell out of voters in the 48th district, particularly the last incendiary paragrah which drifts off into hardcore kookdom:

Money and Banking

We affirm that the Federal Reserve is a private business, owned primarily by international bankers, operating under the deception of a government entity, which annually extorts, for their personal use, hundreds of billions of dollars in interest on the national debt from the American public with government cooperation.

We believe the power to issue money should be taken from the Federal Reserve (and its banks) and restored to Congress and the people to whom that power rightfully belongs. We favor a total reform of the banking and credit card industry which currently exploits from us an average of 26% of our lifetime earnings in usury or interest.

We favor the repeal of the National Bank Act (Federal Reserve Act), and favor the seizure and audit of the Federal Reserve System, the outlawing of fractional reserve banking, and disavowal of Federal Reserve claims upon us and our properties for the national debt.

We favor investigation into and prosecution of all American banks, corporations, and their owners, etc., who participate in unconstitutional and treasonous activities via a global economic system.

The last half of the penultimate paragraph is kookish and incendiary too. I don't anyone to interpret my remarks as suggesting I believe otherwise.
