21st Century Republican Party - A New Agenda

The Republican Party has a lot of rich history and has greatly shaped our Nation for freedom of all people, less government in our lives and a respect for values of character that are worth elevating. The Republican Party needs to proudly remind Americans that we are the Party that enacted and passed Civil Rights Law and the Emancipated the Democrats Slaves. We are the party that wants equality for all Americans and we have a solid legislative record to prove it!

We need to stir the pot and let new voices by heard.

For over 30 years the Republican Party has let the media, Elitist, Crony Corporations, Hollywood and the Democrats brand the party to the public to be everything it is not! It is time the Republican Party sets forth a bold New Image backed by values that are important to everyday, hard-working Americans.  Less government regulations, less laws and less Federal supported tax dollars to specific individuals and industries is the boast in the arm industrious, innovative and enterprising Americans need to succeed at having a chance to pursue what they would love doing to bring income and success to their families and communities. We need to stress the common good of all of our citizens and their willingness to come together in social solidarity. We must lead the way in social reform working together in our communities and with our neighbors to help one another. We must foster an open, inclusive society that embraces differences but that build a stronger unity.

The National Republican Party needs a wake-up and they need to get it from a local Republican Party shake-up!

We promote equality, enterprise, educational, economic and energy freedom.

• EQUALITY - We firmly believe that ALL mankind is created EQUAL and that each person is given by His Creator rights that no government or person should limit or remove from the individual! We each deserve to live our life they way we choose to live it. 

• We value each individual person's life and believe that every person has gifts, talents and the ability to think for himself.

• We also believe the liberty is one of the greatest gifts our founding fathers and revolutionary fighters secured for Americans.  It is when our citizens are set free that they richly and continually giving back to our Nation as a whole.

• We support each persons ability to make free will choices about how he is going to support himself, raise his family and be involved in his building stronger communities. 

• We have always been a Nation derived from immigrants. Assimilation had been the bedrock that allowed immigrants to rise in our society. Legal immigrants are one of our finest riches. We need to have an up-to-date immigration program to attracts potential productive citizens who want to become American. 

• We need to stop dividing our population by race; we are all American! Discrimination or preferential treatment do to skin color or heritage must be stopped to encourage unity and equitability among our citizens. Censuses and forms should no longer ask for race.

• We also have faith in people's desire to be happy and encourage our citizens to pursue the activities and ideals that make them feel alive, productive and living peaceful lives within their communities.

• ENTERPRISE - American are born dreamers; we simply want the opportunity to follow our dreams in creating services, products and organizations that will improve our lives and the lives of others. 

• Innovation and creativity stirs in our spirit and we long to work hard to see the fruit of our labor. 

• Americans need to be freed from cumbersome governmental regulations that limit their ability to try new ideas and to start new businesses. 

• We need to release our citizens to greatness; they will naturally rise to if given a chance. We cannot forget how philathropic successful Americans are!

• Our citizens are willing to take care of their needy neighbors and to help those around the world who are in crisis through the development of non-profit organizations and individual efforts. We need to do all we can to help facilitate the ease of starting non-profit organizations.

• Government's influence needs to shrink so American dreams can come true for all of its citizens - not just those who are well connected to Washington or Lobbyist

•  EDUCATION - American education topped the world when their was no Federal bureaucracy setting standard, funding college professor to write elementary and high school textbooks and when families were deeply invested in helping their children to succeed to become what they were naturally created to be.  

• It is long time we give the education of our nations children back to the families, local jurisdictions and those who love learning/teaching. 

• Great teachers will naturally rise to lead our children to become interesting, educated citizens when we once again trust the people instinctively who love and care about the welfare of the children--parents, relatives, local communities and natural born teachers. 

• Parents, schools and teacher need to be empowered to make the choices that are best for the children and accountability needs to be placed back in the parent-child-teacher relationship not a standardized national testing score. 

• Our citizens have fallen in academic achievement since standardized testing was introduced and a set course of one curriculum required credit program was established for all. 

• We are teaching individuals not mindless, gifted-less, programmable computers. Much work needs to be done to restore American education to its finest.

• ECONOMY - Our National economy is crippling the American family. We simply cannot work hard enough to support our own family and to pay increases taxes for the enormous Federal Government. Something drastically needs to change.  We must be pro-free market!

• We need to put our Federal Government on a long-term economic diet! It is time for fiscal responsible individuals to be given the helm of our Federal finances who will boldly cut the fat and unconstitutional programs. 

• Programs that are broken, in-debt and inefficient need to be stopped and completely re-hauled through a system similar to Chapter 13 bankruptcy restructuring. 

• We can no longer mindlessly keep shoveling hard-earned American citizen tax dollars paid by its working productive citizens to support monstrosity program that are ridden with waste, fraud and insider/crony contracts.

• Our Federal Government is not a private citizen or a for profit run corporation. It is time it stops spending money that does not belong to it, and quits taking out loans it cannot repay on things that are unconstitutional under the precepts of limited government. 

• We must go back to the Constitution and find a provision for any spending bill that congress has imposed on its citizens. The commerce law and general welfare clauses will no longer be abused as a catch all ability to pass any spending legislation politicians desire. No company can be bailed out and no company or industry is too big to fail.

• No longer will the Federal government fund State, Local and group or individual programs. If the Federal government funds a program or creates law it must provide access of funds to all citizens because that is in the general welfare of every American. 

• Our entire tax code needs to be simplified to a flat tax for every citizen, no exceptions! If 10% is good enough for God it is certainly enough for Government. 

• And NO loopholes, special incentives, sweet lobbyist deals or pork-barrell State or city projects will be funded by the Federal government! All of this undermines free market enterprise. If a project is important enough to carry out, let its proposers gain the support of the local or state citizens and raise the funds before the work begins. Corporate welfare programs must end! 

• We need to encourage our citizens to support its local and State products and services including smaller local banks.

• We must stop working on credit and phony electronic/paper currency. We need currency that is back by solid value in commodities that are liquid-able when necessary. The major financial institutions and the gambling on stock markets have continually hurt our private and national financial stability.

• ENERGY - America has been blessed by God with plentiful natural resources. We must as a Nation be people who are environmentally excellent stewards of our land! The enormous wealth and variety of America's nature is unlike that of any Nation in the world. 

• We must wisely use our natural resources in a way that responsibily preserves the abundance and beauty for future generations. 

• We must stop placing human life beneath animal and plant life. The earth was given to mankind for his benefit and therefore it is our solemn responsibility to use our resources for energy and for living off of the land without destroying or carelessly and greedily polluting our ecosystem and citizens. But never should humans irreparably suffer in an effort to protect a species of animal or plant life.

• We need to encourage industrious individuals to work the land and to unearth energy resources both for food, power and pleasure. Water, wind, solar, coal, gas, and petroleum are simply a few energy resources that America has plentiful. 

• We must promote exploration and industry in our Nation so that we are never under the control of foreign nations for our energy resources. Also we must not give access to our nations energy reserves to foreign nations to profit and take.

• But let me make this clear, Energy is not a constitutional government program. Energy belongs in the private sector with individuals and investors that believe in their ideas to develop them for profit and to benefit fellow citizens.

I realize this is only a beginning but it is a positive step in the right direction of presenting a new face of the Republican Party in this 21st Century. 

Mrs. Abbott Wishes To Go To Washington, D.C.

The soul of America is being shredded before our eyes. Lies have infested the hallmark institutions of our Nation and we find ourselves in a very grave position financially, politically, medically, socially, militarily, educationally and morally. Time is not on our side. We must act to change the course of our Nation. I am very willing to do whatever part I am allowed to take.

I read a quote today:

I am crazy enough to think if I am given the opportunity I can change the world (at least our Nation) for good; therefore, I am earnestly hoping to do so.

What are the odds of a simple southern lady with no great wealth, connections and political experience to be given the honor of going to Washington D.C. to represent her citizens in Rutherford County and Tennessee? 

Without faith in God--knowing that if He wills, He can move the mountains--I have no chance. So, in faith, I am writing this blog post, and I will introduce myself to you explaining why I want to represent my fellow citizens in Washington D.C.

My name is Lindy Abbott. I am fifty years old and would love to go to Washington, D.C. to represent my fellow American citizens in a way that our founders intended our Nation to be run. I am an independent but understand that we politically function within a two party system. While my convictions most clearly align with the Republican Party, I am loyal to the values I proclaim regardless of the political weather.

I love God, my dear husband (Joel) and my three children, and I love my country, the United States! I am one of the few people who still believe, by the grace of God, we can stop our bloated bureaucratic government and return to a limited government that reduces its power to the constitutional limits. The United States Constitution is one of the finest documents ever written, however, several of the Amendments (such as the 16th giving Federal Government the power to lay and collect tax on our income/wages) have damaged its original pure intent. 

We need people to serve our country who are strong in character, who will not bend due to temptation or pressure, and who will stand up for what is right in the sight of God. I am that kind of person. I have lived an extremely difficult life being raised in a horrific abusive home. Through ten years of therapy, I have been refined by fire and I will bow to no one but God. The god of money, power, favor, acclamation, ease, acceptance and position hold no interest to me. I am a fireball that will not back down. I will standing for what is right regardless of how unpopular or costly it may be. 

If you are a resident of TN (specifically Rutherford County) and you would be interested in sending me to Washington D.C. to represent you and your values, please leave a message or contact me. 

In Isaiah 6:8 the voice of the Lord was heard saying, "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?"

Then Isaiah answered, "Here am I! Send me."

Today, February 24, 2013, I am saying, "Here am I! Send me."

Thank you for taking the time to read about my heart desire to serve.
