Contents:
The most important form of government is a father, a mother, and children: we need a return to family values -- The further you drift from shore, the more likely you are to be lost at sea: we need a return to local government -- You can't spend what you don't have; you can't borrow what you can't pay back: we need to control spending and debt -- If you drain the lake, all the fish will die: we need a fair and simple taxation system -- Once Humpty Dumpty falls, it's hard to put him back together: we need a responsible approach to health and health care -- If you don't hear the school bell, class never starts: we need an education system that values all students -- Leave your campsite in better shape than you found it: we need to take responsibility for the environment -- Good fences make good neighbors: we need immigration reform that works -- Bullies in the playground understand only one thing: we need a strong approach to terrorism -- When the bullets are real, there aren't any toy soldiers: we need an effective military policy and strategy -- With enemies like this, who needs friends? We need tostrengthen America's position on the world stage -- Hope is more than just the name of my hometown: we need to have faith in the future, no matter how big our present problems are.
