This page is just an insight .Mr.Whitakers campaign site will have a new web site after the first of the year 2008.
Carl Whitaker on the issues that are important to the state of Tennessee.
Immigration:
As director of the Tennessee Volunteer Minutemen Carl is committed to the enforcement of the laws of the State of Tennessee and the U.S. Constitution. Anyone here illegally must be dealt with according to the law, deported and further punishment to the fullest extent of the law when necessary, regardless of race, religion or national origin.
Ethics:
These past few years of Tennessee Politics has shown us a great deal of dirty deals. From the Tennessee Waltz sting to the Corrupt State-Trooper deal the common thing to expect from politicians in Nashville is bribes and deals, unlawful use of office for personal gain.
Carl will not take bribes and will push to have the Ethics Committee into Capitol Hill to weed out the wrongdoers and to see honor and dignity restored to the office of the Governor.
TENN-Care Reform:
The Bredesen administration has made further a mess of the already corrupt TENN-Care system. Reform was necessary, but kicking people off who truly need it and continuing some of those who do not is an unjust and simply wrong way of trying to “Fix” the problem, Carl seeks to work to remove the corruption from TENN-Care and re-instate those who truly need it.
Education:
It is a fact that the public schools in the cities where there is a higher population and thus a seemingly greater need of improvement, have for unjustified purposes, been granted more funding disproportionate to those schools in the rural areas and small towns.
This is unfair and the monies intended for schools should be evenly divided across the state, proportional to their needs and population, not to favor a potential voting block.
Gun Rights:
The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is such an integral part of our ways of American freedom that they cannot be forgotten and should always be supported. Carl Twofeathers Whitaker will support legislation similar to the “Castle Law” that was passed in Florida and similar legislation in other states to protect the rights of the gun owner who is forced to use their weapon in self-defense, and which releases the gun owner from any frivolous lawsuit filed by a surviving criminal and/or the criminal’s surviving family.
The law in Florida also permits the pursuit in such cases where a criminal threatening a lawful gun owner’s life can be pursued by their intended victim in an attempt to prevent further crime. These laws stand as an offence against violent criminals and empowers lawful citizens to be advocates of the law as the 2nd Amendment implies.
Abortion:
The protection of the life of the unborn, innocent citizens of our State should be defended at all costs. Bold legislation in states such as South Dakota have put to the test the ruling of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe vs. Wade and other decisions, where the choice of legalizing abortion was left entirely up to the individual States. Furthermore, the misconception that outlawing abortion will cause it to occur more is bogus, the legalization of anything will naturally increase it's occurrence.
In office Carl will advocate the rights of the unborn and support similar legislation to ban abortion across the board, bringing this matter up for majority vote by the citizens of Tennessee, allowing the people to decide if this abomination of the murder of innocent children should be allowed to continue.
Marriage:
Marriage is simply stated as: the union of one man and one woman, anything else is not marriage. Every person has a right to live the way they see fit, but no minority should force the majority to change an age-old institution, such as marriage.
Carl will seek to bring this matter to the vote of the people of Tennessee and have Tennesseans decide what is marriage in our state law.
Environment:
As it is Carl’s belief that we are caretakers of God’s creation, he has a commitment, as we all do, to take care of the environment. There are obvious abuses that can easily occur on both sides of this matter, but there is a healthy medium and it is in this that Carl Twofeathers is committed to preserving the environment for us to enjoy and our children to continue to preserve.
Give the people of Tennessee back their rights..
