Economic Stimulus Plan |
|
John McCain has bold solutions to stimulate the American economy.
|
|
|
McCain Tax Cut Plan |
|
John McCain believes taxes should be low, simple, and fair and has a
track record of commitment to these principles. |
|
|
Government Spending, Lower Taxes and Economic Prosperity |
|
America's economic progress requires that the federal government
abide by the same standards of common sense and fiscal restraint as
hardworking families. |
|
|
Straight Talk on Health System Reform |
|
John McCain is willing to address the fundamental problem: the
rapidly rising cost of U.S. health care. Bringing costs under
control is the only way to stop the erosion of affordable health
insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health
benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively
compete around the world. |
|
|
Strict Constructionist Philosophy |
|
John McCain believes that one of the greatest threats to our liberty
and the Constitutional framework that safeguards our freedoms are
willful judges who usurp the role of the people and their
representatives and legislate from the bench. As President, John
McCain will nominate judges who understand that their role is to
faithfully apply the law as written, not impose their opinions
through judicial fiat. |
|
|
Human Dignity & the Sanctity of Life |
|
During more than five years as a POW in Vietnam, John McCain
experienced the worst assaults on human dignity imaginable. Yet each
day he also saw in his fellow prisoners the power of human
compassion and the will to prevail against unimaginable evil. It is
this experience, and a life dedicated to public service, that has
imbued in John McCain a fundamental commitment to the protection of
human dignity that will shape his presidency. |
|
|
Lobbying & Ethics Reform |
|
John McCain believes that a government "of the people, by the
people, and for the people" must remain ever faithful to that noble
charge. America needs leadership devoted to the public interest, not
the special interest, and a government that fulfills its duties with
unfailing integrity, accountability, and common sense. Those who
serve in positions of public trust have a patriotic duty to serve
the national interest with integrity and accountability, to conduct
ourselves in a manner worthy of the people we are privileged to
serve, and to devote ourselves to America's agenda, not that of
narrow special interests. |
|
|
Strategy for Victory in Iraq |
|
John McCain believes that we must not fail in Iraq. Succeeding in
the cause of helping the Iraqi people build a stable, secure,
representative state is essential to achieving an enduring peace in
a region of the world central to American prosperity and national
security. Failure in Iraq will endanger America for generations to
come. America has a vital interest in a secure, democratic Iraq, at
peace with its neighbors, to help stabilize a dangerous and critical
region. |
|
|
Border Security & Immigration Reform |
|
I
have always believed that our border must be secure and that the
federal government has utterly failed in its responsibility to
ensure that it is secure. If we have learned anything from the
recent immigration debate, it is that Americans have little trust
that their government will honor a pledge to do the things necessary
to make the border secure. |
|
|
Commitment To America's Service Members: Past And Present |
|
America owes its liberty, its prosperity, and its future to our
veterans who have dedicated their lives to protecting our great
country. John McCain has fought to honor our national commitment to
our veterans who have given their careers and livelihoods to
ensuring our freedom. He believes we must provide for service
members and their families while they serve, we must help those who
return from combat to adjust to civilian life, and we must honor and
never forget the service of those who do not return. |

Education |
|
Excellence, Choice, and Competition in American Education |
|
|
National Security |
|
The most sacred responsibility vested in a president - the commander
in chief - is to "preserve and protect" American citizens. John
McCain has the necessary vision and unrivaled experience to command
the United States armed forces and adapt our nation's defenses to
the demands of a changing and dangerous world. |
|
|
Stewards of Our Nation's Rich Natural Heritage |
|
John McCain has a proud record of common sense stewardship. Along
with his commitment to clean air and water, and to conserving open
space, he has been a leader on the issue of global warming with the
courage to call the nation to action on an issue we can no longer
afford to ignore. |
|
|
Protecting Second Amendment Rights |
|
John McCain believes that the right of law abiding citizens to keep
and bear arms is a fundamental, individual Constitutional right that
we have a sacred duty to protect. We have a responsibility to ensure
that criminals who violate the law are prosecuted to the fullest,
rather than restricting the rights of law abiding citizens. Gun
control is a proven failure in fighting crime. Law abiding citizens
should not be asked to give up their rights because of criminals -
criminals who ignore gun control laws anyway. |

America's Space Program |

"Let us now embark upon this great journey into the stars to find
whatever may await us." |
