Dear Senator Hutchison,
Below I have listed a number of planks of the 2012 Texas Republican Party platform. Please let me know whether you support, or do not support each of the planks listed. Feel free to explain your support or opposition all you want - in fact, I encourage full explanations of all your answers. But be clear as to each plank whether you support or oppose it. Below are the planks, verbatim from the platform.
Term Limits - We urge Congress, the Legislature, and the Republican Party to institute Term Limits.
U.S. Department of Education – Since education is not an enumerated power of the federal government, we believe the Department of Education (DOE) should be abolished.
Education Spending – Since data is clear that additional money does not translate into educational achievement, and higher education costs are out of control, we support reducing taxpayer funding to all levels of education institutions.
Capital Gains Tax – We favor abolishing the capital gains tax.
Ethanol – We support the repeal of legislation mandating ethanol as fuel additives and/or primary fuel.
Sound Money – Our founding fathers warned us of the dangers of allowing central bankers to control our currency because inflation equals taxation without representation. We support the return to the time tested precious metal standard for the U.S. dollar.
United Nations – We support the withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations and the removal of U.N. headquarters from U.S. soil.
Foreign Aid – We oppose foreign aid except in cases of national defense or catastrophic disasters, with Congressional approval.
International Organizations – We support U.S. withdrawal from the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization and the World Bank.
Thank you for your candid reponses.
Regards,
luridtransom
