Ryan’s 4 Principles for America

Protect jobs for American workers from illegal immigrants by expanding the required use of E-Verify for new hires to make sure that only American citizens and those allowed to work in the country are placed into employment.

Promote American manufacturing by requiring fair trade practices, and focusing on and investing in career and technical education.

Support energy independence by encouraging American energy exploration, extraction, and production. Oppose cap-and-tax schemes that prioritize a radical climate agenda over the realities of safe, clean, affordable American energy.

Reduce wasteful government spending that is driving inflation – increasing the costs of food, energy, and housing on every American – and competing with private sector investment.

Cut and eliminate taxes that are taking money out of the pockets of American workers and impeding economic growth; just merely holding the line is not enough.

Stop the overregulation that is crushing America’s entrepreneurial spirit. Bring back the practice of removing a minimum of two regulations for every new one. Support the REINS Act to require Congressional approval for all new major rules, ensure faster permitting, and end ridiculous regulations like WOTUS that infringe upon the rights of farmers and ranchers.

Parents have the right to know what is going on with their children in school. Ban Critical Race Theory and age-inappropriate sex/gender ideology from being taught in K-12 schools. Empower parents with expanded school choice, and ensure curriculum transparency through a Parents’ Bill of Rights.

Promote merit and fairness as core American values. Ban quotas based on race that only divide our country. Protect women, not just in sports but in every aspect of society.

End the weaponization of government. Investigate the use of the IRS and FBI against political opponents, remove and prosecute those who abused their powers, and implement reforms to ensure equal legal treatment for all Americans so this can never happen again. 

Stop ESG investing mandates that the Biden Administration wants to use to convert our entire economy into yet another tool for advancing a radical far-left political agenda.

Respect our police, firefighters, and EMS heroes and increase funding for these critical services. Promote volunteerism and community engagement, and stand up against demoralizing “defund the police” policies.

Build strong communities with resources for local infrastructure, and by only supporting organizations and non-profits that share our American values. No more tax dollars to people who hate our country and what we stand for.

Stop cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Uphold these sacred commitments to our seniors by ensuring no reductions in their benefits. Workers and retirees have already worked and paid into these programs. We MUST keep our word to them. It is the government that has failed them, not the other way around.

Finish building the wall. Secure our open borders and take real action on illegal immigration. Withhold taxpayer-funded grants from sanctuary cities, and require deportation for illegal immigrants caught committing other crimes. Crack down on birth tourism and policies that encourage anchor babies. Re-instate Remain in Mexico. Promote merit-based legal immigration that protects American workers, promotes American values, and rewards connections to America like speaking English.

Implement a comprehensive plan to take on China. Hold China accountable for Covid. Revamp American supply chains for essential medical, technological, and national security items. Support exploration and extraction of critical minerals in America. Stop the sale of American agriculture land, critical infrastructure, and land near military bases to investors with ties to the CCP. Crack down on theft of American intellectual property. Ban TikTok on all government devices and in taxpayer-funded venues like public schools, divest retirement funds from assets tied to the CCP, and investigate Chinese investment or donations tied to the CCP made to colleges and universities.

Focus drug and anti-crime policies on today’s challenges. Crack down on drugs streaming into America with the help of Mexican drug cartels and direct shipment of drugs like fentanyl coming from China. Hire and retain more law enforcement officers – including funding for U.S. Customs and Border protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – focused on drug and gang corridors that move drugs and lead to human trafficking. Punish the over-prescribing of opioids by bad doctors and produced by pill mills. Expand treatment options for individuals whose lives are being destroyed by drug abuse.

Supply our military with the resources they need, and end woke practices that are distracting from the military’s core mission. Ensure peace in the world through American strength. Stop the use of American involvement in forever wars and focus on direct American interests.

Support our veterans by providing choice for medical care and continuous improvement of the VA. Address homelessness issues, support suicide prevention efforts, and assist veterans with the transition back to jobs in the private sector.

Defend the 2nd Amendment in its original intent to protect Americans against a tyrannical government. Support constitutional carry and oppose far-left efforts to confiscate firearms without due process. Our cities with the strictest gun control are the ones with the highest rate of gun crime. We need to focus on the root causes of violence – drug and gang-related activity, the lack of prosecution by radical progressives who were elected to be prosecutors, and a broken mental health system.

Fight back against the culture of celebrating abortion and those that want to legalize it up until the moment of birth. Democrat politicians like Susan Wild are extreme and out-of-touch with Lehigh Valley values, even among voters of their own party. Provide a clear alternative by supporting efforts to reduce the number of abortions, improve maternal healthcare, and ease pathways to adoption.

Defend our democracy and demand election integrity by making it easy to vote and hard to cheat. Support voter ID, ban unsecured drop boxes and ballot harvesting, and prohibit private money from being used for election administration. Prohibit non-citizens from voting in any American elections and block efforts to pack the Supreme Court.

Defend religious freedom, free speech, and political expression. Stand up to the progressive cancel culture and stop the collusion of the federal government with media and Big Tech intended to silence dissenting voices.

Protect medical freedom and expand personal options in healthcare. Provide more choice to reduce healthcare and prescription drug costs, and protect pre-existing condition coverage.

Implement term limits for elected officials and bureaucrats. Ban Members of Congress from trading stocks based on insider information. Require transparency in grant funding to end conflicts of interest when Members of Congress steer money to former clients, employers, business partners, or entities tied to family members.
