CHAPTER ONE: DEFEAT INFLATION AND QUICKLY BRING DOWN ALL PRICES
Our Commitment:
The Republican Party will reverse the worst Inflation crisis in four
decades that has crushed the middle class, devastated family budgets,
and pushed the dream of homeownership out of reach for millions. We will
defeat Inflation, tackle the cost-of-living crisis, improve fiscal
sanity, restore price stability, and quickly bring down prices.
Inflation is a crushing tax on American families. History shows that
Inflation will not magically disappear while policies remain the same.
We commit to unleashing American Energy, reining in wasteful spending,
cutting excessive Regulations, securing our Borders, and restoring Peace
through Strength. Together, we will restore Prosperity, ensure Economic
Security, and build a brighter future for American Workers and their
families. Our dedication to these Policies will make America stronger,
more resilient, and more prosperous than ever before.
1. Unleash American Energy
Under President Trump, the U.S. became the Number One Producer of Oil
and Natural Gas in the World â and we will soon be again by lifting
restrictions on American Energy Production and terminating the Socialist
Green New Deal. Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all
sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power
American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and
affordable Energy.
2. Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending
Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful
Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.
3. Cut Costly and Burdensome Regulations
Republicans will reinstate President Trump's Deregulation Policies,
which saved Americans $11,000 per household, and end Democrats'
regulatory onslaught that disproportionately harms low- and
middle-income households.
4. Stop Illegal Immigration
Republicans will secure the Border, deport Illegal Aliens, and reverse
the Democrats' Open Borders Policies that have driven up the cost of
Housing, Education, and Healthcare for American families.
5. Restore Peace through Strength
War breeds Inflation while geopolitical stability brings price
stability. Republicans will end the global chaos and restore Peace
through Strength, reducing geopolitical risks and lowering commodity prices.
CHAPTER TWO: SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION
Our Commitment:
Republicans offer an aggressive plan to stop the open-border policies
that have opened the floodgates to a tidal wave of illegal Aliens,
deadly drugs, and Migrant Crime. We will end the Invasion at the
Southern Border, restore Law and Order, protect American Sovereignty,
and deliver a Safe and Prosperous Future for all Americans.
1. Secure the Border
Republicans will restore every Border Policy of the Trump administration
and halt all releases of Illegal Aliens into the interior. We will
complete the Border Wall, shift massive portions of Federal Law
Enforcement to Immigration Enforcement, and use advanced technology to
monitor and secure the Border. We will use all resources needed to stop
the Invasionâincluding moving thousands of Troops currently stationed
overseas to our own Southern Border. We will deploy the U.S. Navy to
impose a full Fentanyl Blockade on the waters of our Regionâboarding and
inspecting ships to look for fentanyl and fentanyl precursors. Before we
defend the Borders of Foreign Countries, we must first secure the Border
of our Country.
2. Enforce Immigration Laws
Republicans will strengthen ICE, increase penalties for illegal entry
and overstaying Visas, and reinstate "Remain in Mexico" and other
Policies that helped reduce Illegal Immigration by historic lows in
President Trump's first term. We will also invoke the Alien Enemies Act
to remove all known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel
members from the United States, ending the scourge of Illegal Alien gang
violence once and for all. We will bring back the Travel Ban, and use
Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked
children to their families in their Home Countries immediately.
3. Begin Largest Deportation Program in American History
President Trump and Republicans will reverse the Democrats' destructive
Open Borders Policies that have allowed criminal gangs and Illegal
Aliens from around the World to roam the United States without
consequences. The Republican Party is committed to sending Illegal
Aliens back home and removing those who have violated our Laws.
4. Strict Vetting
Republicans will use existing Federal Law to keep foreign
Christian-hating Communists, Marxists, and Socialists out of America.
Those who join our Country must love our Country. We will use extreme
vetting to ensure that jihadists and jihadist sympathizers are not admitted.
5. Stop Sanctuary Cities
Republicans will cut federal Funding to sanctuary jurisdictions that
release dangerous Illegal Alien criminals onto our streets, rather than
handing them over to ICE. We will require local cooperation with Federal
Immigration Enforcement.
6. Ensure Our Legal Immigration System Puts American Workers First
Republicans will prioritize Merit-based immigration, ensuring those
admitted to our Country contribute positively to our Society and
Economy, and never become a drain on Public Resources. We will end Chain
Migration, and put American Workers first!
CHAPTER THREE: BUILD THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN HISTORY
Our Commitment:
American Workers are the most productive, talented, and innovative on
Earth. The only thing holding them back is the suffocating policies of
the Democrat Party. Our America First Economic Agenda rests on five
pillars: Slashing Regulations, cutting Taxes, securing Fair Trade Deals,
ensuring Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy, and championing
Innovation. Together, we will restore Economic Prosperity and
Opportunity for all Americans.
1. Cut Regulations
Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation
and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and
Common Sense in rulemaking.
2. Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent and No Tax on Tips
Republicans will make permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act that doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax
Credit, and spurred Economic Growth for all Americans. We will eliminate
Taxes on Tips for millions of Restaurant and Hospitality Workers, and
pursue additional Tax Cuts.
3. Fair and Reciprocal Trade Deals
Republicans will continue forging an America First Trade Policy as set
forth in Chapter 5, standing up to Countries that cheat and prioritizing
American Producers over Foreign Outsourcers. We will bring our critical
Supply Chains back home. President Trump turned American Trade Policy
around, protecting U.S. Producers, and renegotiating failed agreements.
4. Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy
Republicans will increase Energy Production across the board, streamline
permitting, and end market-distorting restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas,
and Coal. The Republican Party will once again make America Energy
Independent, and then Energy Dominant, lowering Energy prices even below
the record lows achieved during President Trump's first term.
5. Champion Innovation
Republicans will pave the way for future Economic Greatness by leading
the World in Emerging Industries.
Crypto
Republicans will end Democrats' unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown
and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. We will
defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the
right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from
Government Surveillance and Control.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We will repeal Joe Biden's dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI
Innovation, and imposes Radical Leftwing ideas on the development of
this technology. In its place, Republicans support AI Development rooted
in Free Speech and Human Flourishing.
Expanding Freedom, Prosperity and Safety in Space
Under Republican Leadership, the United States will create a robust
Manufacturing Industry in Near Earth Orbit, send American Astronauts
back to the Moon, and onward to Mars, and enhance partnerships with the
rapidly expanding Commercial Space sector to revolutionize our ability
to access, live in, and develop assets in Space.
CHAPTER FOUR: BRING BACK THE AMERICAN DREAM AND MAKE IT AFFORDABLE AGAIN
FOR FAMILIES, YOUNG PEOPLE, AND EVERYONE
Our Commitment:
Republicans offer a plan to make the American Dream affordable again. We
commit to reducing Housing, Education, and Healthcare costs, while
lowering everyday expenses, and increasing opportunities.
1. Housing Affordability
To help new home buyers, Republicans will reduce mortgage rates by
slashing Inflation, open limited portions of Federal Lands to allow for
new home construction, promote homeownership through Tax Incentives and
support for first-time buyers, and cut unnecessary Regulations that
raise housing costs.
2. Accessible Higher Education
To reduce the cost of Higher Education, Republicans will support the
creation of additional, drastically more affordable alternatives to a
traditional four-year College degree.
3. Affordable Healthcare
Healthcare and prescription drug costs are out of control. Republicans
will increase Transparency, promote Choice and Competition, and expand
access to new Affordable Healthcare and prescription drug options. We
will protect Medicare, and ensure Seniors receive the care they need
without being burdened by excessive costs.
4. Lower Everyday Costs
Republicans will reduce the Regulatory burden, lower Energy costs, and
promote Economic Policies that drive down the cost of living and prices
for everyday goods and services.
CHAPTER FIVE: PROTECT AMERICAN WORKERS AND FARMERS FROM UNFAIR TRADE
Our Commitment:
The Republican Party stands for a patriotic "America First" Economic
Policy. Republicans offer a robust plan to protect American Workers,
Farmers, and Industries from unfair Foreign Competition. We commit to
rebalancing Trade, securing Strategic Independence, and revitalizing
Manufacturing. We will prioritize Domestic Production, and ensure
National Independence in essential goods and services. Together, we will
build a Strong, Self-reliant, and Prosperous America.
1. Rebalance Trade
Our Trade deficit in goods has grown to over $1 Trillion Dollars a year.
Republicans will support baseline Tariffs on Foreign-made goods, pass
the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, and respond to unfair Trading practices.
As Tariffs on Foreign Producers go up, Taxes on American Workers,
Families, and Businesses can come down.
2. Secure Strategic Independence from China
Republicans will revoke China's Most Favored Nation status, phase out
imports of essential goods, and stop China from buying American Real
Estate and Industries.
3. Save the American Auto Industry
Republicans will revive the U.S. Auto Industry by reversing harmful
Regulations, canceling Biden's Electric Vehicle and other Mandates, and
preventing the importation of Chinese vehicles.
4. Bring Home Critical Supply Chains
Republicans will bring critical Supply Chains back to the U.S., ensuring
National Security and Economic Stability, while also creating Jobs and
raising Wages for American Workers.
5. Buy American and Hire American
Republicans will strengthen Buy American and Hire American Policies,
banning companies that outsource jobs from doing business with the
Federal Government.
6. Become the Manufacturing Superpower
By protecting American Workers from unfair Foreign Competition and
unleashing American Energy, Republicans will restore American
Manufacturing, creating Jobs, Wealth, and Investment.
CHAPTER SIX: PROTECT SENIORS
Our Commitment:
President Trump has made absolutely clear that he will not cut one penny
from Medicare or Social Security. American Citizens work hard their
whole lives, contributing to Social Security and Medicare. These
programs are promises to our Seniors, ensuring they can live their
golden years with dignity. Republicans will protect these vital programs
and ensure Economic Stability. We will work with our Great Seniors, in
order to allow them to be active and healthy. We commit to safeguarding
the future for our Seniors and all American families.
1. Protect Social Security
Social Security is a lifeline for millions of Retirees, yet corrupt
politicians have robbed Social Security to fund their pet projects.
Republicans will restore Economic Stability to ensure the long-term
sustainability of Social Security.
2. Strengthen Medicare
Republicans will protect Medicare's finances from being financially
crushed by the Democrat plan to add tens of millions of new illegal
immigrants to the rolls of Medicare. We vow to strengthen Medicare for
future generations.
3. Support Active and Healthy Living
Republicans will support increased focus on Chronic Disease prevention
and management, Long-Term Care, and Benefit flexibility. We will expand
access to Primary Care and support Policies that help Seniors remain in
their homes and maintain Financial Security.
4. Protect Care at Home for the Elderly
Republicans will shift resources back to at-home Senior Care, overturn
disincentives that lead to Care Worker shortages, and support unpaid
Family Caregivers through Tax Credits and reduced red tape.
5. Protect Economic Foundations for Supporting Seniors
Republicans will tackle Inflation, unleash American Energy, restore
Economic Growth, and secure our Borders to preserve Social Security and
Medicare funding for the next Generation and beyond. We will ensure
these programs remain solvent long into the future by reversing harmful
Democrat policies and unleashing a new Economic Boom.
CHAPTER SEVEN: CULTIVATE GREAT K-12 SCHOOLS LEADING TO GREAT JOBS AND
GREAT LIVES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Our Commitment:
Republicans offer a plan to cultivate great K-12 schools, ensure safe
learning environments free from political meddling, and restore Parental
Rights. We commit to an Education System that empowers students,
supports families, and promotes American Values. Our Education System
must prepare students for successful lives and well-paying jobs.
1. Great Principals and Great Teachers
Republicans will support schools that focus on Excellence and Parental
Rights. We will support ending Teacher Tenure, adopting Merit pay, and
allowing various publicly supported Educational models.
2. Universal School Choice
Republicans believe families should be empowered to choose the best
Education for their children. We support Universal School Choice in
every State in America. We will expand 529 Education Savings Accounts
and support Homeschooling Families equally.
3. Prepare Students for Jobs and Careers
Republicans will emphasize Education to prepare students for great jobs
and careers, supporting project-based learning and schools that offer
meaningful work experience. We will expose politicized education models
and fund proven career training programs.
4. Safe, Secure, and Drug-Free Schools
Republicans will support overhauling standards on school discipline,
advocate for immediate suspension of violent students, and support
hardening schools to help keep violence away from our places of learning.
5. Restore Parental Rights
Republicans will restore Parental Rights in Education, and enforce our
Civil Rights Laws to stop schools from discriminating on the basis of
Race. We trust Parents!
6. Knowledge and Skills, Not CRT and Gender Indoctrination
Republicans will ensure children are taught fundamentals like Reading,
History, Science, and Math, not Leftwing propaganda. We will defund
schools that engage in inappropriate political indoctrination of our
children using Federal Taxpayer Dollars.
7. Promote Love of Country with Authentic Civics Education
Republicans will reinstate the 1776 Commission, promote Fair and
Patriotic Civics Education, and veto efforts to nationalize Civics
Education. We will support schools that teach America's Founding
Principles and Western Civilization.
8. Freedom to Pray
Republicans will champion the First Amendment Right to Pray and Read the
Bible in school, and stand up to those who violate the Religious
Freedoms of American students.
9. Return Education to the States
The United States spends more money per pupil on Education than any
other Country in the World, and yet we are at the bottom of every
educational list in terms of results. We are going to close the
Department of Education in Washington, D.C. and send it back to the
States, where it belongs, and let the States run our educational system
as it should be run. Our Great Teachers, who are so important to the
future wellbeing of our Country, will be cherished and protected by the
Republican Party so that they can do the job of educating our students
that they so dearly want to do. It is our goal to bring Education in the
United States to the highest level, one that it has never attained before!
CHAPTER EIGHT: BRING COMMON SENSE TO GOVERNMENT AND RENEW THE PILLARS OF
AMERICAN CIVILIZATION
Our Commitment:
Republicans offer a plan to renew American Civilization with Common
Sense Policies that supports families, restores Law and Order, cares for
Veterans, promotes beauty, and honors American History. We commit to
strengthening the Foundations of our Society for a brighter future.
1. Empower American Families
Republicans will promote a Culture that values the Sanctity of Marriage,
the blessings of childhood, the foundational role of families, and
supports working parents. We will end policies that punish families.
2. Rebuild Our Cities and Restore Law and Order
Republicans will restore safety in our neighborhoods by replenishing
Police Departments, restoring Common Sense Policing, and protecting
Officers from frivolous lawsuits. We will stand up to Marxist
Prosecutors, vigorously defend the Right of every American to live in
peace, and we will compassionately address homelessness to restore order
to our streets.
3. Make Washington D.C. the Safest and Most Beautiful Capital City
Republicans will reassert greater Federal Control over Washington, DC to
restore Law and Order in our Capital City, and ensure Federal Buildings
and Monuments are well-maintained.
4. Take Care of Our Veterans
Republicans will end luxury housing and Taxpayer benefits for Illegal
Immigrants and use those savings to shelter and treat homeless Veterans.
We will restore Trump Administration reforms to expand Veterans'
Healthcare Choices, protect Whistleblowers, and hold accountable poorly
performing employees not giving our Veterans the care they deserve.
5. Make Colleges and Universities Sane and Affordable
Republicans will fire Radical Left accreditors, drive down Tuition
costs, restore Due Process protections, and pursue Civil Rights cases
against Schools that discriminate.
6. Combat Antisemitism
Republicans condemn antisemitism, and support revoking Visas of Foreign
Nationals who support terrorism and jihadism. We will hold accountable
those who perpetrate violence against Jewish people.
7. Overcome the Crisis in Liberal Arts Education
Republicans support the restoration of Classic Liberal Arts Education.
8. Restore American Beauty
Republicans will promote beauty in Public Architecture and preserve our
Natural Treasures. We will build cherished symbols of our Nation, and
restore genuine Conservation efforts.
9. Honor American History
Republicans celebrate our Great American Heroes and are proud that the
Story of America makes everyone free. We will organize a National
Celebration to mark the 250th Anniversary of the Founding of the United
States of America.
CHAPTER NINE: GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE
Our Commitment:
Republicans will offer a clear, precise, and USA oriented plan to stop
the Radical Left Democrats' Weaponization of Government and its Assault
on American Liberty. We will restore Government of, by, and for the
People, ensuring Accountability, protecting Individual Liberties, and
fixing our once very corrupt Elections. We commit to upholding the
Constitution of the United States, appointing judges who respect the
rule of law, and defending the Rights of all Americans to Life, Liberty,
and the Pursuit of Happiness. We will maintain the Supreme Court as it
was always meant to be, at 9 Justices. We will not allow the Democrat
Party to increase this number, as they would like to do, by 4, 6, 8, 10,
and even 12 Justices. We will block them at every turn.
1. Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government
We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government
to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents. We will declassify
Government records, root out wrongdoers, and fire corrupt employees.
2. Republicans Will Dismantle Censorship & Protect Free Speech
We will ban the Federal Government from colluding with anyone to censor
Lawful Speech, defund institutions engaged in censorship, and hold
accountable all bureaucrats involved with illegal censoring. We will
protect Free Speech online.
3. Republicans Will Defend Religious Liberty
We are the defenders of the First Amendment Right to Religious Liberty.
It protects the Right not only to Worship according to the dictates of
Conscience, but also to act in accordance with those Beliefs, not just
in places of Worship, but in everyday life. Our ranks include men and
women from every Faith and Tradition, and we respect the Right of every
American to follow his or her deeply held Beliefs. To protect Religious
Liberty, Republicans support a new Federal Task Force on Fighting
Anti-Christian Bias that will investigate all forms of illegal
discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.
4. Republicans Will Protect and Defend a Vote of the People, from within
the States, on the Issue of Life
We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no
person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the
States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights. After
51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the States and to
a vote of the People. We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while
supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to
Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments).
5. Republicans Will End Left-wing Gender Insanity
We will keep men out of women's sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex
change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender
transition, reverse Biden's radical rewrite of Title IX Education
Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.
6. Republicans Will Ensure Election Integrity
We will implement measures to secure our Elections, including Voter ID,
highly sophisticated paper ballots, proof of Citizenship, and same day
Voting. We will not allow the Democrats to give Voting Rights to illegal
Aliens.
7. Republicans Will Protect Americans in the Territories.
The territories of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico are of
vital importance to our National Security, and we welcome their greater
participation in all aspects of the political process.
CHAPTER TEN: RETURN TO PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH
Our Commitment:
Keeping the American People safe requires a strong America. The Biden
administration's weak Foreign Policy has made us less safe and a
laughingstock all over the World. The Republican Plan is to return Peace
through Strength, rebuilding our Military and Alliances, countering
China, defeating terrorism, building an Iron Dome Missile Defense
Shield, promoting American Values, securing our Homeland and Borders,
and reviving our Defense Industrial Base. We will build a Military
bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. Our full commitment is to
protecting America and ensuring a safe and prosperous future for all.
1. The National Interest
Republicans will promote a Foreign Policy centered on the most essential
American Interests, starting with protecting the American Homeland, our
People, our Borders, our Great American Flag, and our Rights under God.
2. Modernize the Military
Republicans will ensure our Military is the most modern, lethal and
powerful Force in the World. We will invest in cutting-edge research and
advanced technologies, including an Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield,
support our Troops with higher pay, and get woke Leftwing Democrats
fired as soon as possible.
3. Strengthen Alliances
Republicans will strengthen Alliances by ensuring that our Allies must
meet their obligations to invest in our Common Defense and by restoring
Peace to Europe. We will stand with Israel, and seek peace in the Middle
East. We will rebuild our Alliance Network in the Region to ensure a
future of Peace, Stability, and Prosperity. Likewise, we will champion
Strong, Sovereign, and Independent Nations in the Indo-Pacific, thriving
in Peace and Commerce with others.
4. Strengthen Economic, Military, and Diplomatic Capabilities
Republicans will strengthen Economic, Military, and Diplomatic
capabilities to protect the American way of life from the malign
influences of Countries that stand against us around the World.
5. Defend America's Borders
Against all odds, President Trump has completed Hundreds of Miles of
Wall, and he will quickly finish the job. Republicans will mobilize
Military personnel and assets as necessary to crack down hard on the
cartels that traffic drugs and people into our Country.
6. Revive our Industrial Base
Our Industrial Base is critical to ensuring good jobs for our people but
also the reliable production of vital Defense platforms and supplies.
Our Policy must be to revive our Industrial Base, with priority on
Defense-critical industries. Equipment and parts critical to American
Security must be MADE IN THE USA.
7. Protect Critical Infrastructure
Republicans will use all tools of National Power to protect our Nation's
Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Base from malicious cyber actors.
This will be a National Priority, and we will both raise the Security
Standards for our Critical Systems and Networks and defend them against
bad actors.
