 * Our party stresses the need for alternate energy sources and for America to stop importing oil from foreign countries. We want our oil to come from inside America only. By mining in America, it will create new jobs and bring the unemployment rate down. Though we want to start mining here, we also want to use water, wind, and solar power as other sources of energy. Oil is a natural resource, so it takes many years to make more. Once the oil in America is used, water, wind, and solar power will be needed to produce electricity. By using these energy sources and mining in America, we will be the most efficient country in the world. **

**Our goal is for every American to graduate high school. We want school to be affordable for everyone. If every student graduates High School, there are more jobs available for them to do, and if they graduate college, there are even more. From high school, we want kids to go to college. Most students can't go to college because of the cost. They don't even see college as a part of their future because it will take too much money from their families. We want financial aid for those students in __every__ school. The kids now are our future. Now, if the majority of those students don't go to college, they won't be as educated. What will become of America if our students can't do anything? We need our kids to be as educated as they can be, our future depends on it. **

**The middle class struggles a lot with taxes. Citizens that live in the poverty/lower class level can go on Welfare or have things like Title 19. The middle class pays the payroll tax for Social Security, which the rich can usually skip out on because it only applies to the first $110,000 of wage income. Middle class also pays a much greater share of their income in sales tax because they cannot afford to save their money. Most millionaires have so much money, they don't even know what to do with it. We want to increase taxes on people whose Adjusted Gross Income is above $250,000 and decrease taxes on essential needs such as rent, medicine, utilities, car repairs, and groceries to provide tax relief on middle/lower incomes. As of now, some politically powerful business groups find a way to carve out tax exemptions for their products. We won't let this happen. If an item is considered essential, there will be no way to get around it and it will have a lower tax placed on it. **

**By bringing all offshore mining into America, we will create new mining jobs. This will lower the unemployment rate and will bring more families out of poverty. When more people have jobs, there will be a lower unemployment rate in the United States. The current rate is at 7.3% (as of October, 2013), and we wish to get it down to 5% or lower by this time next year. **

**We stand by the Second Amendment, which states that Americans have the right to: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. If our gun rights are taken away from us, what does this show of the Constitution? The Constitution was made to put laws into place for all American citizens, and by taking away this right, it is against everything we stand for. We do believe that background checks should be performed on each person who wants to buy a gun. If there is evidence of a mental condition such as schizophrenia found, or there is a strong criminal record found, the person w ill not be able to purchase a gun. This background check would be in place because of so many shootings in America. **

** As a party, we are not against gay marriage. We think that if you love someone, laws should not get in the way of that. We do think, though, that the states should be able to choose whether gay marriage is legal in their state or not. ** **Brochure: ** Roles:
