Howard Phillips on the Issues

Howard Phillips (Constitution Party) Web Site
Abortion
Abortion in America must be
ended. And if God chooses to bring our principles, our platform, and our plan of
action, and our candidates to office, we will strive to be sensitive to His will
and to faithfully do it. On Day One as President, I will officially acknowledge
the legal personhood of the unborn child, and appoint new US Attorneys who will
make it their top priority to work with state and local officials in prosecuting
and closing down every abortuary within their jurisdictions. -- Acceptance
Speech 9/4/99
Budget/Economy
In the 1960s the noted economist,
Milton Friedman, observed that it would be better to have a $200 billion in
deficit than a $2 trillion budget in balance. Federal spending was less than
$100 billion when Kennedy took office, $200 billion in Nixon’s first year,
$600 billion when Reagan took the oath, $1.2 trillion when the Presidency passed
to Bush, and, today, Republicans in Congress and Democrats in the White House
have enacted a $2 trillion budget to take effect soon after the turn of the
century. -- Acceptance Speech 9/4/99
Civil Rights
The First Amendment is
incorrectly cited to justify restrictions on the free exercise of religion,
while Washington ignores the prohibition on the establishment of religion,
looking the other way as Congress doles out billions to organizations whose
religion is abortion, whose religion is sodomy or environmentalism or humanism,
whose religion is the overthrow of Western Christian civilization. We will
achieve reform-not by funding the Christians, but by defunding the
anti-Christians. -- Acceptance Speech 9/4/99
Crime
What the Federal government needs
to do is not fund or regulate local law enforcement, it’s to get out of the
way. So the people at the local community level can apprehend suspects, bring
them to trial, & if they’re convicted, administer swift and sure justice,
without external interference from the Federal government. That way, if you get
a murderer or a rapist in your community, Uncle Sam can’t stop you from
swiftly protecting that community, by the administration of the death penalty,
if appropriate. -- Acceptance Speech 9/4/99
Defense
I will immediately extricate the
United States from arms control treaties which, for more than two decades, have
been the phony pretext for the non-deployment of a strategic defense. --

Foreign Policy
I will act to restore an appropriate US
military presence at the isthmus of Panama and to remove the burgeoning
influence of Communist China which, thanks to the indolence and indifference of
the Congress and the conniving of President Clinton, now controls ports at both
ends of the canal and has gained a supposed right to acquire significant
military facilities which we have gratuitously abandoned. -- Acceptance Speech
9/4/99
Free Trade
No statements issued
Government Reform
We will close down subsidies to
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Public Radio, the Legal
Services Corporation, the National Endowment for the Arts, or even a putatively
Christian group which seeks government subsidies for its good works. The ancient
truism that he who pays the piper calls the tune is a fact of life - when
Christians take the government dollar, over time they learn to sing the
government song. -- Acceptance Speech 9/4/99
