Do you remember this

The Conservative Pledge - 2010

1. To make sure no funds are appropriated to implement any government healthcare system.

2. To balance the budget for FY 2012.

3. To reduce funding for every federal department (except Defense) by at least 20%.

4. To eliminate every federal program that cannot clearly justify its existence to its responsible Congressional Oversight Committees.

5. To shut down the Department of Education and return that power to the state departments of education.

6. To shut down the Department of Energy and return that function to the states.

7. To shut down the Department of Agriculture, transfer imported food inspections to Customs and remaining functions to state departments of agriculture.

8. To begin the process of privatizing responsibility for one’s own retirement.

9. To de-fund the Environmental Protection Agency and return that power to the states.

10. To de-fund all other agencies, programs and operations of the federal government not specifically authorized by Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.

11. To return use and control of all undeveloped federal lands and coastal territory to the respective states.

12. To respect the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution by returning all power and responsibility possible to the several states.

13. To respect the territory of the United States by fully securing its borders and using our military forces to prevent invasion of our borders.

14. To complete our missile defense system and SELL all necessary components to friendly countries. Also, to bring all our troops home except for those requested, AND PAID FOR, by friendly countries, and station them along our borders.

15. To withdraw from all multi-national alliances and establish new alliances with each individual country based on reciprocal treatment. (We’ll treat you exactly the way you treat us.)

We need to hold their feet to the fire

I say get to work doing this PLEDGE. Or be replaced ASAP
