Item 8 should include NSA, DHS, TSA and 20+ other federal gestapo-like departments. And that would also include the EPA and forest service.

Since Congress has the power of the purse, I believe this entire list is strong on its merits. A Presidential candidate who promises this is promising something they can’t control, but then, a Congressional promise doesn’t mean a presidential acceptance. We need a change from the top-down. Conservatives need a resurgence in a big way.

It should be told that unlike the libs, the pubs will allow the opposition a voice and will not be locked out like we have been. ALL Americans are in the same boat!

4) A Pledge To Read Every Bill: Every bill will be limited to 100 pages or less and the entire bill will be posted online for a week before it's voted on so that the public has time to comment and all the members have time to read it.

Please understand who you are dealing with. These are DemonCraps. You cannot limit them to pages, they will come up with 30"x100" pages. You cannot forget to mention font size, they will bring a microfiche printer.

You should limit them to words, and make sure to state that all the words must be found in a Websters Unabridged dictionary -- lest they invent a single word that needs a 700-page definition.

Ex: All Americans must guramokaslavinkapostomagintaffic:

Definition of "guramokaslavinkapostomagintaffic": To be implanted with a RFID geolocation device which enables the CitizenWatch series of satellites to precisely locate... (and so on, for 699 more pages).

Re: #3: The ONLY appropriate replacement for 0bamacare is NO FEDERAL INTRUSION INTO HEALTH CARE AT ANY LEVEL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The feds have NO Constitutional authority to meddle in the healthcare industry in ANY way.

Also, TAX reform must be on this list, as well.

and especially the IRS. Also eliminate Planned Parenthood any federal funding for any women’s medical issues until they get out of the abortion business.

Mr. Hawkins is preaching to the choir. Even with a copy of this outline in the pocket of every republican congressman, nothing significant will change. This system cannot be fixed, because the fix is in.

I hate to sound like a party pooper, but nothing will change while the Big O is still in office. 2014 is a chance to stop or slow down the madness, but the train is still a runaway. The first thing to address is the republican messaging before you even come up with a new message. (donning asbestos underwear)

since the GOP has been out of power and...blah blah blah...what we'll do if we get into power.

If "get into power" doesn't mean the wholesale killing off of federal bureaucracy, closing most departments of the executive branch and ripping out the lifer union-thug bureaucRATS who actually run the government and ruin the economy....

Then they are just empty words.

Same thing at the state level.

"GOP" would require a definition something like;

a President Limbaugh and a super-majority of Alan West, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz TEApublican-type members in both Houses of Congress, with both the intense Constitutional commitment, and overwhelming numbers.

The torpedoes be damned!

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP

Is not that an oxymoron?

Yeah, SKA-REW the opposition! They are the "enemies domestic" and have been killing the US for 100 years. They need to be defeated, ridiculed, vilified and reduced to a margin note in the history books.

There is NO WAY and NO REASON to compromise with the thieving statists/collectivists.

ALL Americans are in the same boat!

Yes, and it's about to slip bow-first under the waves. It can all be attributed to the RATS, RINOs and other outright Communist enemies of hard working American People.

Here is another point:

Every fed agency these days, seems to have its own police force. Must stop that oppressive nonsense. We also need to demilitarize our police forces. Not every small town police force needs military equipment.

Must stop terrorizing citizens. O did say he wanted a civilian force just as strong and well equipped as the military. By weakening our military and strengthening these unofficial alphabet pseudo squads, he is making it happen.

<<<<< 11. Arrest every elected official >>>>>

Huh? What do you think elections are for? You make absolutely no sense.

Whether you like it or net Cabinet members are appointed be the president. BTW the appointments of Cabinet members goes back to George Washington who appointed a cabinet of four people. (Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson; Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton; Secretary of War Henry Knox; and Attorney General Edmund Randolph)
