===Issue Statements===
FOREIGN POLICY
Commerce, not coercion, should be the touchstone of our foreign policy. The best way to prevent attack is to create as few enemies -- and as many trading partners -- as possible. The best way to repel an attack is to have our troops at home where they can readily defend our shores and have our citizens armed. full position paper

If we want to jump-start the economy, all we need do is slash wasteful government spending and turn to the more efficient private sector to provide the services we want. full position paper
HEALTH CARE
Draconian licensing and regulation schemes have increased the cost, reduced the availability, and damaged the quality of health care in America. It's time to unleash the power of the market and usher in an era of access to quality health care for all. [Health care-plank-Ruwart|full position paper]
