Telecom reform
America needs “free market” reform and elimination of the Spanish American War Tax on telephone service. Rep. McHenry noted that “only reason wireless communication as exploded is because the gov’t. has keep out of it.”

Taxes
Flat vs Fair tax, either way we need reform. Bush Tax cuts have stimulated the economy, much to the liberals dismay.
