Enacting a Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights

We support an amendment to the state constitution that will place limits on revenue growth at every level of government in Wisconsin. If passed, the government will only be able to exceed that amount only by gaining the voters’ permission via referendum. Excess revenues should be returned to the taxpayers or be deposited into an emergency reserve fund. Revenues include taxes and fees, assessments, and licenses. Bonding revenue is also included under revenues.

Ending Eminent Domain Abuse

In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Kelo v. New London (2005), we support legislation that that will prevent the government from taking property from Wisconsin home and business owners and handing that property over to another private party.

Expanding School Choice

We support a voucher system and/or tax credit program that will empower parents to choose the best education for their children whether it be in a public, private, parochial or home based school.

Concealed Carry for Law-Abiding Citizens

We support legislation that will allow law-abiding citizens without a felony record or a record of serious mental health problems to obtain permits to carry concealed weapons.

Repealing the Minimum Mark-up Law

We support a free-market where prices are determined by the interaction of suppliers and their customers and call for the repeal of goverment mandated markups on the price of products, including, but not limited to, gasoline.

Fighting the Ethanol Mandate

We oppose the passage of legislation that mandates the use of ethanol in fuel and believe that the decision to use ethanol is a choice best suited to individuals on a voluntary basis.

Protecting Personal Liberties

We oppose all restrictions on free and honest expression. Individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and to accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. Permitting individuals to make their own choices does not correlate to endorsing the choices they make. Individuals must also be allowed to make irresponsible choices that do not harm or infringe upon the rights of others.
