Donald Strong. Fighting for Tennessee. Don Strong knows Tennessee's 4th District. He's lived, worked and raised his family
in Crossville for over 30 years. As a 10-year Army veteran, he has shown his commitment to this great nation. And now he's
ready to take the needs of Tennesseans to Washington. Unlike our current congressman Lincoln Davis, who often puts his party
leaders wishes over the needs of Tennesseans like you, Don is committed to bringing jobs, liberty, and opportunity back home.
Don needs your help to bring real change to Washington. It's time to VOTE STRONG / DON STRONG
GOD BLESS AMERICA! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH AMERICA THAT CAN'T BE FIXED
Your donation of $5, $10, $25 or more is important.
We are a nation that has a government.....not the other way around. Smaller government means reduced business regulation,
controlling inflation, reducing growth in government spending, and spurring economic growth through tax cuts. You cannot
grow the economy by growing big government. It kills small business and drives large business overseas.
I believe and profess that all people are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that
amongst these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
My first test of legislative viability of any bill will be to ask: "What is our Constitutional authority
to do this?" And, if no Constitutional authority exists, I promise to do two things: a) Vote against
it. b) Engage the media publicly to express the unconstitutionality of the bill.
VOTE STRONG / DON STRONG CANDIDATE OATH / PLEDGE:
"I declare and affirm that I will hold myself bound to bear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States
of America, and will use my personal energies and resources to convince the leadership of the political party, for which I
am a candidate, to focus its legislative actions only to issues that do not usurp the rights that are reserved by the Constitution
to the States or to the People. I will not bear allegiance to any political party or party leadership when its direction,
policies, or proposed legislation or actions conflict with the Constitution of the United States of America, so help me God."
Constitution Commit to strict adherence to the US Constitution. Propose and support legislation requiring Congress
to identify and verify that all new proposed legislation meets specific US Constitution guidance. Study legislation presently
on the books to determine adherence to strict Constitutional principles with the goal of eliminating all unconstitutional
executive orders, bills, laws, resolutions, regulations and requirements.
Budget/Economy/ Balance the Federal
Budget. Stand firm for capitalism principles as the bedrock for American free market. Lower or eliminate taxes on businesses
to encourage job creation. Eliminate the Death tax, thus allowing small businesses and family farms the ability to be transferred
to the next generation without costly schemes. Investigate and demand prosecution for any criminal or ethical violations associated
with the 2008/2009 economic crisis.
Defense The defense of the United States is the primary mission of the
government, without which all other rights and privileges mean nothing. That requires a military force that is second to none
in technology and advanced weaponry together with the infrastructure to support an advanced global fighting force. Before
sending America’s men and women into battle, a congressional declaration of war must be approved.
Energy Our country has abundant sources of energy, but our government has stifled development. Drill off our coasts, begin processing
our abundant resources of shale in the western states, and build nuclear power plants. Use our coal resources to create synthetic
fuel, and use technology to make the burning of coal cleaner.
Immigration Laws on the books must be enforced.
This starts with adequately funding our Border Patrol. A nation is not a nation unless it can control its borders. Interpreters
or defense attorneys cannot be provided for illegal aliens at taxpayer expense. There is room for only one flag and one language,
English. All Federal and State documents, including voting ballots and drivers license testing, shall be in English only.
Second Ammendment
Legal Citizens have a God given right to own and bear arms. I am against gun control in any form
or fashion.
Health-care We have the finest health-care system in the world. Socialized medicine would be a disaster for this country. Innovation
and the proper use of technology can streamline and reduce the cost of health-care in America to where every American citizen
can receive the superior care that our system produces.
Respect for Life Oppose destruction of life, truly
respect God's power of creation and the blessing he gives us in our children. Also, with the number of qualified couples seeking
children to adopt, babies born from unwanted pregnancies can expect a loving family to care for them.
Marriage The sanctity of marriage by definition is the bond of holy matrimony between one man and one woman.
Term Limits Professional politicians have nearly destroyed the United States as a nation of freedom, liberty and the capitalist system.
Term limits for Representatives and Senators should be limited to three terms and one term respectively.
Federal
Reserve The Federal Reserve should be brought under total US Government audit, but preferably abolished with appropriate
functions returned to the United States Treasurer.
