Dean Moore for Congress 2012

Immigration

 The United States became a world superpower because the prospect of freedom attracted the most motivated people from every country and society on earth. We need to celebrate and encourage this to continue.

People who cannot or will not assimilate into our society defeat this important and necessary ingredient of the American way of life.

A person whose first act upon coming to the United States is to break our laws, and cause undue stress to our legal, medical and social systems isn’t the kind of person we are looking for.

The borders need to be sealed off to undocumented criminal aliens from anywhere.

However we also need to streamline legal immigration to make it easier and quicker for good candidates to assimilate into American society. We want motivated active people from wherever they come from. We need to set some goals for people wanting to be Americans. (Isn’t that great? People want to become Americans).

Basic milestones like learning English within the first year or 18 months.

Be able to show and use marketable and legal skills; deny welfare benefits for 10 years, and no dual-citizenship.

Current illegal aliens (Criminal aliens) need to go home and legally re-apply.

No anchor babies, if the child is an American citizen, we will care for it, otherwise take it home and apply legally.  Ideally we need to enforce the Constitutional and Supreme court definition of "natural born: citizen.

Permanently deport illegal aliens with gang or other criminal connections and their families.

  Increase visas for highly skilled workers seeking to be citizens.

Ban any federal government involvement or funding with groups whose basis for existing is based on race.

Military

Increase pay across all pay scales, increase benefits and bonuses. No UN control of US troops ever. Allow relocated and eliminated government employees to lateral into appropriate positions. Encourage long term careers in military. All military armament is to be made in the United States. If existing military contractors cannot fulfill this requirement, new industry needs to be encouraged to apply to the now difficult process and enough manufacturing infrastructure kept in place for possible use in time of war.

Either greatly improve VA medical services, or buy private insurance/expand Tri-Care for our Soldiers and our vets.

International Trade

Free trade is a great ideal, but if we get the short stick with a country, then we need to default to fair trade, enacting similar restrictions imposed on us, and imposing tariffs severe enough to get prompt attention.

I don’t have a use for the UN, if we stay with it, we need to play a much heavier hand and pursue our own interests first.

Criminal justice

The vast majority of street crime are state crimes. There is a need for a limited, Constitutionally regulated Federal system however.

Federal judges are appointed at the suggestion of the president during that president’s term, congress approves these appointments.

Frequently congress holds these appointments hostage, greatly backing up legal proceedings.

 I would suggest that congress forfeit their pay during times when appointments are unduly held up.

An up/down vote needs to be scheduled for these judges quickly.  A qualification background check can be completed without much trouble. For a federal judge candidate this shouldn't take very long.

  A Constitutionally acceptable  alternative system needs to be set up to lessen the load in the traditional federal court system. Mediation and other user-pays systems that solve civil complaints should be encouraged outside the typical legal system.  Jury pay needs to be increased to a level that offsets lost pay. This increase is to be paid by a fee charged by court to both/losing parties.

The Castle doctrine needs to be federally recognized.

I hold the States to be primary, but the ratification of the 14th Amendment  made us American citizens (as well as citizens of our state), thus making the bill of rights state law, and applicable to people personally, therefore the spirit of the 2nd Amendment, and our recognition of property rights should be recognized to include the castle doctrine.

Health care

I support the 340 million payer system. Suggest itemized billing, easy access to lists of typical cost of services for consumers. Electronic health records are great until the government decides to limit access to heath care based on them. Secure limits need to be placed on the Government, and health insurance companies. Patient health and wishes should be the primary focus of any doctor, not whether a government or HMO accountant approves. Allow insurance to be sold across state lines.

Encourage personal health insurance NOT mandating it.

Allow insurance companies to deny levels of care, and non-life threatening treatments to patients failing multiple  drug tests.

Taxes

Flat tax option, phasing out current system, eliminate withholding, make people pay quarterly, until constitution can be amended to allow for fair tax. If we are still going to have an IRS, the tax form should be simple, free of loopholes,limited to a page, easy to fill out and dispute. No "tax cuts" for people who don't pay any taxes. I would  take advantage of a greatly reduced federal government, and its reduced budget, and cap any federal tax rate to less than 10%. be it fair tax or flat tax. Obviously in times of war congress could  raise additional money, but they are limited to two years by the constitution.

God asks for 10% , who does the government think they are asking for 60%?
