Specifically, Phill would push for:

• An elimination of the corrupting practice of pork barrel earmarks
• A balanced federal budget
• Paying down the federal debt
• A simplified tax system
• More openness in our political process so citizens have time to review and comment upon legislation before it is voted upon
• A prohibition on unconstitutional and unaccountable Executive Branch "czars"
• An end to governmental ownership and bailouts of private companies

The problem in Washington is that too many career politicians act like kids in a candy store who haven't realized they only have a $1 in their pocket. I intend to be one of the adults who can explain that the party on the Potomac is over and it is time for Congress to start living within its means.

That will require me to vote "NAY" - a lot. NAY to deficit spending... NAY to pork barrel spending projects... NAY to bailouts... NAY to attempts to increase the size and scope of government.

At the same time, however, I will vote YEA for measures that promote: more accountability, more openness in our legislative process, more efficiency in necessary programs, and more local control of issues.
