The American people deserve a blueprint for policymaking that is built upon the Constitution of the United States and the principles of fiscal discipline, limited government, accountability, and a strong national defense.

I represent what I think is a traditional Republican... a limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, individual freedom and liberty.

The mission statement of the RSC is to foster a constitutionally bound limited government, it's to have a strong national defense, it's to protect private property rights and it's to support American values. That's what the mission statement is. There's nothing in the mission statement about trying to hold leadership accountable.

The National Security Council's real role is to coordinate the various activities of the government of the United States in the furtherance of American foreign policy.

When the United States government tries to do things like expediting and making things easier for people, they create a pretext for letting in illegal immigrants.

The No. 1 purpose of the federal government is national defense.
