A Country That Respects Individual Rights and Encourages Independence of Thought

Both in our country and others
We respect and rely upon the foundational principles the country was based upon to ensure these freedoms
These rights extend to everyone, not just citizens, and they are not conditional but inalienable

Limited
- Every government ever conceived by man is one of limitation, either by design or by natural constraints, we submit that just enough government is the right amount of government.
Effective
- Professional, committed, accountable government is the hallmark of a thriving country, an ineffective one is wasteful both of money and resources and benefits to the citizen’s that fund it.
Efficient
- We embrace continuous improvement and regular evaluation and reassessment
- A regular assessment of government is both desirable and necessary
Transparent
- Citizens have a right to know what their government is doing and why it is doing it.
- It is the government’s responsibility to ensure citizens are aware of its operations and reasoning by publishing as much as possible those actions and responding the citizen’s reasonable queries.

Respectful
- We treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated.
- We realize there will be differences of opinion on various issues, this is to be expected, it is a democracy. Those differences should be resolved via respect, compromise, and collaboration.
Ethical
- We abide by a code of ethics that ensures our politicians are serving their constituent’s and the country’s interests and not their own.
- In exchange for this power, we ask those wielding it to remove any possibility of conflict, be it financial, personal, or business while they are in office.
Collaborative
- We recognize the purpose of deliberative bodies is to deliberate, respectfully, collaboratively, consensual.
- Collaboration, respectful, sincere and constructive, as a goal and a necessity for stable, durable government.
Transparent
- Politicians serve their constituents and the country, wielding power through their consent, they are bound to a transparent.
Limited
- We posit that political office is a service to the country, not a lifetime appointment and not a means of acquiring lifetimes benefits.
- Therefore we recognize that service is of limited duration, and that the benefits derived from service are limited including healthcare and retirement benefits, both of which should be of the same system that any federal employee utilizes.

Our dynamism, our individual drive is what sets our economy apart.
If we value work then we also value the dignity of work
We strive for an economy that creates jobs that support a basic standard of living (yes, a living wage)
Work is the means to creating an economy that allows individuals and families to support themselves

We are insatiably curious
We explore the world including ones beyond ours, we push the boundaries of science in pursuit of new discoveries knowing this is how the human race evolves
We respect science and it’s role in bettering the human condition and expanding its knowledge

The power we grant our government is democratic, power based on the consent of the governed, described in broad terms by the Declaration of Independence; the means we exercise that power is through the republican form of government, delineated in the Constitution.
This construct has been, of late, called into question and challenged, much to the country’s detriment
There is a need to reaffirm American foundational institutions
- Rebuild and reinforce governance structures
- Build new structures to diffuse and limit concentrated power
  - Specifically refute the idea of a unitary executive or imperial presidency
  - Codify structures that were previously accepted norms
