Kevin Craig's Platform:

• "Vine & Fig Tree" - the original American Dream - work, profit, save, invest, enjoy, pass on to next generation.
• Not "easy to borrow," perpetual debt;
• Not "invade other nations" to secure our own wealth.
• Not trust in standing armies for our "national security."
  • Beat "swords into plowshares"
  • Evangelize the heathen
  • have "a "firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence."
• Taxes take over half of everything we earn during our lifetime.
• Social Security is an unethical ponzi scheme which prevents one generation from passing on a nice nest egg to the next.
• Every American could be born with a comfortable inheritance for education, a first home, or medical care; instead, every American is born in great debt.
• Washington D.C. central planning increases debt, does not create the "Vine & Fig Tree" life.
• No more Bailouts
• No more inflation, no more paper money.
• No more wasteful government spending. (Or do I repeat myself?)
• Limit government to the size prescribed by the Constitution:
  • enumerated powers only
  • "General Welfare" clause no exception
• Today's Key Issues:
  • military spending
  • terrorism
  • wars

Restoring America's Greatness by
Celebrating Christmas all year long

The Message of Christmas and the Principles set forth by the Christ (the Messiah) who came that first Christmas are the real solution to America's problems. The Federal Government is at war with Christmas and "The Way of Peace" announced by the Prince of Peace.

Christmas	Bush-Clinton-Obama
John 1:1-18 - The Incarnation The Word became flesh. The Creator of the universe becomes a human being. He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him, preferring darkness rather than light.	"The State is God walking on Earth" The 2 parties are cooperating rival sects in the world's most powerful religious cult.
Luke 1:1-4 Eyewitnesses of the Messiah recorded their testimony. Co-Founder of the Harvard Law School says their testimony would prove the resurrection in any court of law in America, at one time a Christian nation.	No longer a Christian nation, American courts routinely release the guilty and condemn the innocent.
Matthew 1:1-17 Jesus was a descendant of King David.	Obama is a distant cousin of both Dick Cheney and George Bush How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
Luke 3:23-38 Jesus was a descendant of Abraham. All those who submit to Jesus as the Messiah (the rightful king of the earth) inherit the promises made to Abraham	Those who reject the Messiah do not inherit the promises made to Abraham, even though Bush defends their right to do so.
Luke 1:5-25 John the Baptist prepares the way for the Messiah, as prophesied of Elijah.	As you read the Gospel accounts, ask yourself how you would react if you knew these accounts were really true. Not just true in some "religious" sense, but reported in the New York Times, proven in a court of law, or acknowledged by your personal hero.  (How do you know something is true? Do you even have any "heroes?") How should you change your life if your Creator became a human being? How should Washington D.C. react if this human being claimed to be the true Ruler?
Luke 1:26-38 The Angel Gabriel announces the conception of the Messiah, who will be given the throne of David.
Luke 1:39-45 The unborn John recognizes the mother of the Messiah.	Bush-Obama would chop the unborn John and the unborn Jesus into stem cells for "medical research."
Luke 1:46-56 - "The Magnificat" “He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.” Luke 1:51	The Bush Administration is filled with the power-hungry, who commit adultery in reality or in fantasy.
Luke 1:67-80 Zacharias, John the Baptist's father, prophecies the birth of Jesus the anti-king.	The expectations of Zacharias are 180° opposite those of the Bush-Obama Administration.
Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph told about the Incarnation. "Jesus" means "salvation" "Immanuel" means "God with us"	The Bush Administration thinks it brings salvation. Obama thinks he is Immanuel.
Luke 2:1-7 The Prophet Micah predicted that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Jesus' parents lived in Nazereth. Therefore God predestined Caesar to issue a decree (probably relating to taxes) that would bring Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem before Jesus was born.	Bush claims the same global power of confiscation and migration as Caesar did. Thousands of Christians have been forced to move out of Iraq to make way for Bush's Islamic Theocracy.
Luke 2:8-14 An army of angels announces the birth of the Messiah, saying, “Glory to God in the highest,       And on earth peace to those with whom He is pleased!”	Man's chief end is to glorify God and live in peace. The Bush Administration's chief end is to erect a "wall of separation" between God and government so that the State gives no glory to God, and to wage war, thereby "stimulating the economy."
Luke 2:15-20 “Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.”	Washington D.C. isn't listening.
Luke 2:22-24 Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem to obey Leviticus 12:8, which suggests that they were not rich.	Washington politicians are among the richest and most financially secure people in America.

Luke 2:25-35 Simeon had been told he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah. He says Jesus is "The One."
	Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

Luke 2:36-38 Anna the Prophetess is another well-known Godly person who acknowledges that Jesus is the Child promised by the prophets.	Where is the Anna of our day who tells us we can trust Washington D.C. to bring salvation?
Matthew 2:1-8 "Wise men from the East" knew of Micah's prophecy that the King of the Jews would be born in Bethlehem.	Are there any wise men around the world who place their confidence in George Bush, Henry Paulson, Paul Krugman, or Barack Obama?
Matthew 2:9-12 The kings from the east present the Messiah with "gold, frankincense, and myrrh."	Rather than bestowing wealth on the King, Obama-Bush confiscates the wealth of others.
Matthew 2:13-18 When Herod got word of the birth of a rival king, he behaved in a perfectly logical way (for someone who wants to protect his power):  he massacred all male babies the age of Jesus. Herod recognized that Jesus was a threat to Herod's power.	Every day in America 4,000 unborn babies are murdered. These babies must threaten something. Millions of Americans who call themselves Christians, on the other hand, are no threat to tyranny. None of them are being killed. Bush has killed a thousand times more human beings than Herod did, and confiscated a billion times more wealth than Herod did.

The Republican Party Radio Address:

Response of the Republican Party Saturday Morning Radio Address
Saturday, May 23, 2009
Republican Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming criticizes the Democrats' energy policies (OVTH transcript)
Hi. I'm Senator John Barrasso from Wyoming.
Many Americans spend the Memorial Day weekend traveling with family to visit relatives and friends. It's a weekend of ceremonies, parades and cookouts.
Memorial Day is a time to remember America's fallen heroes; men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for the safety and prosperity of our great country. This weekend we pay tribute to their courage.
Today I'd like to visit with you about the energy we use to power our nation. Republicans support a comprehensive energy plan. A plan that puts Americans to work. A plan that harnesses American resources.	There is nothing in the Constitution which justifies a comprehensive government "energy plan." Everything in the laws of economics is against such a plan. Why do the Republicans support energy fascism? Constitution: 10th Amendment Enumerated Powers "General Welfare" clause no exception Laws of Economics: The Government Against the Economy (arguments included in his larger study, Capitalism).
You may have heard the Democrats in Washington are looking to limit our country's energy options. It's true. They want to put a new tax on American energy. A new tax every time you turn on the light switch. American families already spend more than 2000 dollars a year on home energy costs alone. No one wants to pay higher energy costs.
We must produce more American energy and use less. We need to make America's energy as clean as we can, as fast as we can, without raising energy prices for American families. That means developing renewable energy and alternative energy. It means doubling our investment in energy research. It also means responsibly exploring and developing American oil and gas resources and promoting clean coal and nuclear power.
The Republican plan will strengthen our economy, protect our environment, And enhance our national security.
Democrats have focused solely on what they call green jobs: those are jobs from alternative energy. I support green jobs, but why discriminate? American energy means American jobs which is why I support red white and blue jobs. We should harness the strong work ethic and the creativity of the American people.
We are a nation that sent men to the moon and safely returned them to earth. Surely we have the creativity and the knowledge to use our nation's energy resources to power our country. And with the continued global instability, using American energy seems more important than ever before.
Energy use around the world continues to increase. It will increase 50% in the next twenty years. Wind and solar power are very important. We must continue to develop these resources. Right now they only account for roughly 1% of US electricity.	One percent = unimportant. Why are wind and solar power "very important" if they are so unimportant? What he means is, "It is important that we make them important." But why? In fact, it is important -- vital -- that wind and solar power not be important sources of energy. The day that we get 90% of our energy from wind and solar is the day that hundreds of millions of people die and the rest live in poverty.
I'm a strong supporter of renewable energy. In Wyoming we have a world class wind resources. But even if we double our nation's wind and solar energy and then double it again, it won't be enough to meet our energy needs. We need more energy and we need it even at times when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining. There remains a large gap -- an energy gap -- between the reliable energy that we need and the renewable energy that we want.	So why is it important?     Why do "we" want "renewable" energy?
There is plenty of American energy which the Democrats say that we should not use. There are billions of barrels of oil in the outer continental shelf. There's even more in Alaska. There's enough oil shale in the rocky mountain west alone to power America for the next hundred years. The Democrats say all this American energy is off limits.
When we limit our use of American energy we become more dependent on foreign oil. As a nation we need to be more energy independent. It is a matter of energy security, as well as national security.	When we limit our use of cheap foreign energy, we become poorer.
My home state of Wyoming is the largest net supplier of energy in the country. Visitors from around the world come to Wyoming because of our national parks, and our beautiful wide open landscapes. In Wyoming we have found the right balance between protecting our environment, and developing our energy resources.
Americans need more energy -- more from our American sources. All of our sources all of our American sources and importantly, we must do more to promote conservation, boost the efficient use of energy, and double our nation's investment in energy research. Each of these pieces is an essential part of creating American jobs, reducing our reliance on foreign oil, and keeping our energy affordable.
As we approach this Memorial Day. It is my hope that the Democrats can work with us to develop solutions. To make our energy supply clean, affordable, and reliable.
Thank you for listening.	More on energy here. Electricity. Gas prices.

What Would America's Founding Fathers Do?

The men who threw tea into the Boston Harbor over a tax of 3 pence per pound would not be happy with a tax ten times greater on every gallon of gas. Those who took up muskets over a total tax burden of less than 3% would not be happy with the fact that the federal government now takes more than half of everything you earn.

Today it is illegal for public school teachers to teach their students that the Declaration of Independence is really true (and not just an outdated historical document). The federal government is clearly at war with everything the Founding Fathers stood for.

America's greatest Americans would abolish today's federal government.

Muskets are Not an Option

There are two reasons why we should not take up arms to pull off the violent overthrow of the federal government, even if America's Founders would surely do so. First, the feds have nukes. Second, violent revolution is unChristian and unBiblical. We must beat our swords into plowshares and use persuasion to abolish tyranny. This is time for a revolution of ideas.

Revolution Won't Come in a Day

John Adams once wrote that the American Revolution began in 1761, when Massachusetts attorney James Otis began legal challenges to the Writs of Assistance. He lost the case, but "American independence," Adams wrote, "was then and there born." Now do the math. That means it took 15 years to convince the rest of America to declare Independence (1776). Then another seven years of war was required before a Peace Treaty was signed (1783), and then six years before the Constitution was finally ratified (1789). That's almost 30 years. (And Jefferson said we shouldn't go 20 years without another rebellion!) How can we hope to convince Americans to fight for principles they were never taught in government schools? We need to be in this battle for the long term. "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty."

Help End the Mexican Civil War Black-market profits caused by drug prohibition fund a civil war in Mexico that's threatening to spill over our borders. Drug profits also fuel the terrorists who are killing U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. It's time to dry up the black-market profits. It's time to end drug prohibition.

Make Congress Read Their Bills Before Voting Make Congress read every word of every bill they create before they vote on it. Urge your Representative and your Senators to sponsor DownsizeDC.org's “Read the Bills Act” (RTBA).

End the FED The Federal Reserve System constantly inflates and deflates the supply of money and credit, causing booms and busts. It's time to get off this roller-coaster. It's time to end the Fed.

No Bailouts! No government money, whether borrowed or taxed, should ever be used to bailout private financial interests. If you agree, please send Congress a message telling them so.

TWIC - A Backdoor Real ID Card Real ID is dying. But the Department of Homeland Security has a new plan to subject every American to a national ID card anyway. They plan to pick off one occupational field at a time, starting with the maritime industry. One man is fighting back. Meet him, and help stop this backdoor Real ID plan.

Stop the Killer Horse Hormones The FDA "outlawed" the use of Estriol, an estrogen medication that's bio-identical to human estrogen. Doctors must now prescribe animal-derived estrogen instead. Are bio-identical hormones dangerous, while animal-derived hormones are safe? No. The practice of medicine is moving to chemically identical to human hormones and away from animal hormones. Learn why the FDA decided to endanger women's health in this way, and take action.

End Asset Forfeiture If the government suspects you used your house or car in a crime, they can take it and sell it at auction. They don't even have to prove your guilt. They call this practice civil asset forfeiture, but it's really theft. It violates the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 14th Amendments. It also encourages law enforcement to put profits before justice. Tell Congress to end civil asset forfeiture.

Support an Iraq Referendum Americans keep debating when, how, or if to leave Iraq. Maybe we should ask the Iraqi people what they want. After all, it's their country. Tell Congress to request that the Iraqi government hold a public referendum on the U.S. occupation. Learn more »

"Cap and Trade" is not the way The politicians seem to be unifying around "cap and trade" as a way to cut CO2 emissions. If they take this step it may be the largest increase in the size, scope, and intrusiveness of government since the creation of Medicare. Worse still, it may not even achieve its purpose. Please tell Congress to oppose "cap and trade." Learn more »

Support Ron Paul's “American Freedom Agenda Act” The politicians have done great harm to this country in response to the 9-11 attack. A bill has been introduced that will undo much of that harm. Learn More »

Iraq Waste Big government prospers through failure. Each new failure is used to justify more spending and new powers. Wasteful spending in Iraq is the latest example. One way to change this is to hold government accountable. A new bill in Congress seeks to provide some of the needed accountability. Please support it. Learn more »

Stop the War for Terror U.S. policy has inflamed the Middle East. It has made terrorism more likely rather than less. We seem to be fighting a war for terror, rather than on terror. This policy must stop. The place to start stopping is with Iran. We must not attack Iran. War with Iran would devastate our economy, disrupt world oil supplies, and recruit more terrorists. Click here to stop this war before it starts.
