We at NoPC find the trend toward larger government to be profoundly disturbing. As regulation grows, individual liberty must be sacrificed. This is intolerable.

To combat the usurpation of individual liberty and responsibility, we resolve to support candidates who uphold the traditional American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

To accomplish this, NoPC supports an addition to the Contract With America to achieve the goals of liberty, responsibility and accountability.

We propose and support legislation which recognizes the following:

1. Crime in America is out of control. The ability to walk down the street without fear has been compromised by a judicial system that refuses to hold individuals accountable for their actions. NoPC will support judicial reform in the following areas:
   
   
• The limit of appeals of convictions to Constitutional grounds only.
• The abolishment of our current parole system which allows violent criminals back on the street before their sentences are fulfilled. If you commit the crime, you do the time.
• The implementation of a victims' restitution program which will restore peace of mind to those who have suffered.
• The expansion of the death penalty to include rape and sexual assault of young children.
  
  
2. Constitutional protections are not to be interpreted from State to State or district to district. The Constitutional rights of individuals are absolute. This includes the right to protect one's self against the threat of harm. NoPC supports and incourages proposals requiring States to recognize concealed weapons permits issued in other jurisdictions and to grant the bearer of such, full legal protection.
   
   
3. NoPC recognizes that it is impossible to expect one generation to finance the retirement income of another, larger, generation. We recognize that the disposition of personal income should be a personal and private decision and that planning for one's future is also such. We propose and support reform of the Social Security system as follows:
• Make the system optional with a limited "opt-out" period for those currently in the system, and then an application for social security filed by an individual (and not their parents) only when they reach consenting adulthood.
• Or, continue the payroll deduction, but allow each inividual tax payer to allocate their own investment portfolio in order to make the system work more like current 401(k) and IRA plans.
• Any plan that would make it an option to leave the Social Security system if you so choose.
  
  
4. Finally, we support the elimination of corporate welfare, including all subsidies. The government should play no role in supporting industries that cannot support themselves. We believe that is the natural course of our economic system to eliminate firms which are too weak to survive on their own and then replace them with newer, more capable firms.

NoPC adheres to the philosophy of the maximization of personal liberties. We further recognize that citizens are no longer able to live without daily interference from burdensome government regulation and bueracracy. It is because of our firm belief in the extraordinary resourcefulness of a free and unrestrained citizenry, that we at NoPC, put forth this addition to the Contract With America.
