Energy |
|
|
|
Americans need to reduce their dependence on OPEC and eventually on oil all together. About 60% of the world's oil supply is produced by non-OPEC countries such as the United States, Mexico, Russia, China, Canada, Norway, and the United Kingdom. A dependence on OPEC is a dependence on Middle East nations, and reducing that reliance would keep the United States free of regional conflicts.
Eventually our oil supply will dwindle, and when that time comes, alternative energy sources must be established. We promote solar power, hybrid cars, and eventually fusion power. The US Department of Energy must continue to research these areas, especially the potentials of fusing hydrogen atoms. Also, we must continue to fund the development of fuel cell technology. |

Abortion |
|
|
|
The New Federalists believe that life begins at conception. Because of this view, we favor the ban of all abortion. Only in cases of high-risk pregnancy will a termination of the fetus be permitted, and purely on command of the mother. In order to compensate for the larger population of infants that will be put up for adoption, the New Federalists propose that the government assume control of all adoption agencies. In the case of rape or incest, the baby may be put up for adoption at one such government agency. Because these centers are funded by the federal government, any increase of children will lead to a direct increase in funding, ensuring that these agencies will not deteriorate. To further curb the resulting higher birth rate, we propose an increase of education on abstenance and contraceptives. |

Education |
|
|
|
The New Federalist Party condemns vouchers. Removing money from the public education system will do nothing to improve it. Vouchers make it easier for the wealthy to attend private schools while leaving the rest behind.
We need to segregate students with special needs. By allowing students to follow their own academic track, all students will be given the attention they need. If it comes to a teacher giving more time to one student, then this is neglecting the nineteen others in the class.
The federal government needs to improve funding and make the teacher occupation more favorable. The education field is no longer competitive in reference to salary with other fields. The bottomline is we must not give up on public education. |

Pornography |
|
|
|
People have a right to look at pornography as much as they do to read the morning newspaper. The New Federalists however seek to stymie the growth of this morally objectionable industry by increasing federal taxes on pornography. This will decrease viewership and discourage growth in the industry, while government revenues will be increased. This increased revenue will be used to fight child pornography and fund expenses related to Amber's Law. |

Gay Rights |
|
|
|
Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. Therefore the New Federalists are strongly against any attempt to legalize gay marriage. Civil unions are an attempt to do the same thing under a different name, so the party stands against them as well. However, New Federalists stand against sodomy laws as we feel the government has no control over a person's bedroom. |
