If elected these are the ideas and actions that will guide Paul Martin.
Grow the Economy
By releasing the constraints applied by the current administration
With fewer regulations we can have fewer bureaucrats.
Return to Energy Independence
And return to being the world's biggest energy exporter
Release the constraints applied by the current administration
Return to an “all-of-the-above” energy policy
Encourage environmental watchdog charities, environmental investigative journalism, and free market consequences for notable environmental offenders
Stop Giving Free Stuff to People Who Cheated to Get Here
No more free phones, free healthcare, free housing, free legal services, free school, free EBT cards or free petty cash debit cards
Close The Border
Finish building the wall
Encourage executive or Congressional action so want-to-be immigrants at points-of-entry, or wall jumpers, cannot claim refugee status at a nearly 100% rate
Return to a policy where those requesting asylum or refugee status must wait outside our country while their cases are adjudicated. Attempts to wait inside the country would lead to automatic negative case dismissal.
Once the borders are under control, we’ll be better situated to welcome and highlight the contributions of legal immigrants.
Reduce Inflation and Stop the Reckless Money Printing
We are perilously close to hyperinflation and defaulting on the national debt, with debt service interest payments now over $1 trillion per quarter.
I will never say "reduce the deficit" as a linguistic trick, as the current administration does, when only a reduction in the rate of deficit growth is the truth behind their statement.
A booming economy is the preferred method for increased revenue. However, I do not make the Bush 41 "read my lips, no new taxes" promise if the risk to my constituents is economic collapse. My mantra will be cut spending, raise revenue, and cut spending more.
In this deficit situation, I will not turn into a congressman who is good at getting earmarks added to the federal budget for local pet projects.
Implement Term Limits for Members of Congress
As the President is limited to two terms by the 22nd Amendment, I am in favor of limiting Senators to three terms, and House members to four terms.
It's pretty easy to remember as the 2-3-4 plan.
Rescue Social Security with Small Steps If Major Reform Is Postponed
As long as no law has been passed for a systemic fix, every year or session I’ll propose a tiny change to make Social Security a little better, so that instead of the insolvency cliff being 8-years out, it will stay at 10-years out.
The cost of rescuing the program is small now, or massive later if we put it off to the last minute.
Keep Parents as the First and Most Powerful Stakeholder in Schools
They should have access to every class, syllabus, extracurricular activity, counseling plan, and medical plan in which their students are participating.
School vouchers have been shown as one pathway to improving educational outcomes. We need them universally.
We must quickly abandon, in months not decades, methods that have led to declining educational outcomes.
Cellphones should be collected in radio-proof boxes at the start of every class.
Promote Workforce Growth for Properly Eligible Workers
Reduce the number of H1B work visas. Especially when a close examination shows they are nothing more than corporate welfare.
Even if the U-3 unemployment rate is low, I won’t forget the nearly 6 million workers who want a job but have given up looking.
According to last year’s U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report the workforce increased by 2.5% and -0.2% in 2021, respectively for foreign-born versus native-born workers; then 6.3% and 1.0% in 2022.
I will work to flip the numbers to favor native-born workers.
If elected, my office will release quarterly reports of businesses in our 9th District using the federal E-Verify system, ranked from frequent to infrequent uses, so constituents can see which companies are trying to help native-born workers reach full employment.
Preserve the Original Interpretations of Title IX and the Civil Rights Act
Women's and girls’ sporting events will not allow the participation of biological men and boys
Biological men and boys will not be allowed to enter women's and girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms
Restore Practices That Encourage Clean Cities
Practice tough love for the homeless
There is no mercy or compassion in the failed billion-dollar programs of many cities. Contracts to aid organizations that are not working themselves out of business should be suspended.
As was done for decades, we can shelter the mentally ill in specialized healthcare facilities, shelter drug addicts in detox facilities or jails, and shelter the poverty-stricken in transitional housing or dormitories.
There are thousands examples of cities, with smaller or no problems, that never stopped doing this.
Fine litterers and jail graffiti offenders.
Levy stiff fines on organizations that give away tents to the homeless or sell them at a loss.
I Oppose Any Transgender Treatment That Has Been Shown to Do More Harm Than
Since what medicine currently offers leads to scientifically measured higher suicide rates, and lifetime disabilities, I oppose transgender medical treatments, and emphatically oppose them in adolescents.
I Support the First and Second Amendments.
The giant social media platforms, that have become major providers of news; local, national and world, should have the protections they enjoyed during their World Wide Web infancies revoked. Title 47 Section 230 should be changed to reflect the current situation.
I'm in favor the Supreme Court rulings on Second Amendment issues, and of background checks.
I am not in favor of reinstating the 1994 assault weapons ban, which ran for 10 years, showed no statistical reduction in crime, and didn’t stop the Columbine tragedy. Certainly, a citizen is free to hate firearms, but we should not be distracted from the root causes of violence or think that one action will stop it. Among the tragedies we shouldn’t forget is the 1927 account of the Bath School, where 44 died and no firearms were used.
I Will Always Thank Police Officers for Doing Their Job.
Where constraints to policing techniques were added and higher crime rates resulted, especially in poor neighborhoods, those constraints should be reset to the prior state, or reset to something that leads to improvement.
Where department budgets were cut, they should be restored. I have and will "Back the Blue.”
Public defenders who release violent or repeat offenders, in violation of their oaths of office, should be swiftly fired.
Get Tough on China Trade
A Laissez-faire approach to free trade may have been an acceptable course in 1980 but now, as they are executing a multigenerational world dominance plan, every transaction we make with China should be calculated to outwit them and preserve our leadership in the world of liberty lovers and free democracies.
