FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
IT'S TIME FOR CHRISTINE
Christine's Deal with Delaware.
Taxes
- Christine pledges to oppose tax increases and new taxes, without exception.
- Christine O'Donnell will fight to repeal the tax on social security retirement income imposed under Bill Clinton. She will fight to make all student loan interest tax deductible.
National Security and Foreign Affairs
- Christine opposes the Global Tax that will require America to pay taxes to the United Nations - something Biden adamantly supports. This undermines America's national sovereignty and punishes economic prosperity.
- Christine will fight to improve oversight of how America's foreign aid is spent and managed.
- Most importantly, Christine has a strategy for bringing our troops home from Iraq: It's called victory. Past mistakes should not deter our need to stabilize Iraq so we can get our troops home. We can succeed in the future, but we must accompany our efforts with the honor and respect we've earned as a people. We cannot leave on the enemy's terms. We must leave on our terms.
CHRISTINE SAYS IT'S TIME TO DEAL WITH
Energy
- High gasoline prices created by policies of the Democrats must be cured. America has not built another oil refinery to produce gasoline in the last 30 years. The lack of refinery capacity is a major factor in high gas prices. While protecting the environment God gave us is indeed a sacred trust, we have the skill to do both. We refuse to accept that America lacks the knowledge to produce energy while also keeping our environment clean. We can do it.
- By strengthening the dollar, we lower the price of oil. This directly impacts the price at the pump. We don't need gimmicks to stimulate the economy. We need solutions that address the root cause. Christine will advocate for monetary policy that strengthens the dollar and attacks the root cause of many of our economic concerns.
- Christine has long supported using Delaware's agricultural resources to supplement America's gasoline supplies. This can raise the income of farmers as well as help all Delaware drivers.
- Let's also keep in mind that the biggest reason for rising food prices is the high cost of fuel for transporting food and grains. This must be addressed.
- Democrats have blocked America from achieving energy independence, including vast oil supplies in the Gulf of Mexico. China is preparing to drill for oil 45 miles from Key West, Florida, as a team with Cuba. Environmentally, this drilling will happen either way. But U.S. firms will surely use higher technical quality and greater care for our own environment than China will. How careful will China's oil drilling be about America's shorelines?
Education
- Christine will work to ensure that our children do not suffer from funding crises and swings, by exploring Federal solutions to provide continuity.
Transportation
- Christine will work to ensure accountability and restraint in increased tolls on Federal highways.
Border security
- Christine O'Donnell will fight to secure our nation's seaports and borders to defend our families from terrorism and from drugs.
- Christine will demand that employers obey the law, just as the rest of us must obey the law, with meaningful penalties for hiring illegal aliens.
