New Federalists
Party Platform
Environment

The New Federalist believe the environment should be both preserved and used for the benefit of mankind.  We can use our environment for enjoyment and raw materials, without damaging the ecosystem.  We firmly support the Environmental Protection Agency. Current Issue: New Federalists are against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Power of Government

As the Federalist Party supported a strong central government, so do the New Federalists.  Without a unifying, firm national government, our country couldn't survive.

Gun Control

"As the sword was the last resort for the preservation of our liberties, so it ought to be the first to be laid aside when those liberties are firmly established."                                                        -George Washington
The New Federalists agree with Washington and believe we only need stricter enforcement of existing gun laws, not any new ones.

Economy

Graduated tax plan, where the wealthy pay a greater amount since they reap more benefits from the government.  New Federalists support middle class tax cuts to aid the working class.  New Federalists believe any national surplus would be utilized in paying off the national debt.  New Federalists also advocate government aid and regulation to small businesses promoting competition and allowing American business to be controlled by Americans.  We support NAFTA but want to regulate overseas trade through protective tariffs.

Military Defense

The New Federalists support the status quo on military spending. 
We also need to stop the testing of the ABM, which steps on the toes of our own foreign policy, destroying relations with both China and Russia.

Foreign Policy

The New Federalists believe that the stronger the foundation, the stronger the nation.  If our military is responsible for the devastation of a foriegn land, we must put a hand to rebuild it.  That is why Nation Building is the key to progressive international relations.

Media

The Federal Communications Commission has been seen as an infringement of the rights of all Americans.  In many cases, this is not true.  Television is regularly monitored by the FCC.  It is because of this that your child will never be able to see nudity or hear profanity at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.  The internet is a completely different story.  At any time of day, anyone anywhere would be able to view a pornographic website with incredible ease.  It is far easier to find such a site than it would be to find information on the planet Mars, Abraham Lincoln, World War I, etc.  It isn't just pornography.  There are websites that have gruesome footage of Daniel Pearl's slaying, instructions for pipe bombs, and many other evils . A controlled censorship would allow for the termination of these atrocities while still guaranteeing every man, woman, and child their God-given rights.
