Discover Our Key Initiatives
We the People
Government is established by the People, who receive their rights from God, our Creator. The government does not grant rights to the people. The government receives its powers and limits from the people. The U.S. and MN State Constitutions were formed by the People to, in turn, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…and institute government for the security, benefit and protection of the people, in whom all political power is inherent, together with the right to alter, modify or reform government whenever required by the public good. These proclamations devolve into every level of government bureaucracy, which must be comprehensively reviewed, reformed, and even eliminated if it is shown that our Constitutional directives are not honored. As Governor, to the fullest extent of my Constitutional powers, I will facilitate and incentivize this review and reformation by the People of Minnesota.
Legal Immigration
I will govern within the scope of the MN State and U.S. Constitutions and the Declaration of Independence, all of which are grounded in the fact that our rights are endowed by our Creator, the God of the Bible, and that these documents are intrinsically built upon the Christian development of Western culture. Our immigration policy is also built upon this foundation, requiring, by oath, that citizenship entails the renunciation of fidelity and all allegiance to any foreign prince, potentate, or sovereignty. Historically, this pattern of assimilation into our God-ordained Republic has included the adoption of English as our common language, requiring occasional limits and even the suspension of immigration to advance this process. WE THE PEOPLE.
Article V Initiative
Government is bloated and has grown beyond the comprehension of our Founders. However, their foresight produced Article V of our U.S. Constitution, which grants the States the authority to call a Convention of the States to propose Amendments to the Constitution. The current initiative has been legislatively approved by 19 States and is limited to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress. I will lead MN to join this effort, which will trigger the Convention when 34 States pass the initiative. This will provide a model for MN, upon which we can implement similar amendments to our State Constitution.
