On Budget & Economy:
Washington's spending-addicted politicians are the problem
Washington does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. The spending-addicted politicians in Washington are doing nothing to solve it. Upon being elected to Congress,
I'll immediately push for a Balanced Budget Amendment that will force Washington to tighten its belt and reign in wasteful spending.

On Education:
Local & parental control, not one-size-fits-all
For too long, the federal government has employed a 'one size fits all' approach to education in America. I believe that decisions involving the education of our children should be made by parents and officials on the
local level--not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.. I will fight to restore as much local control as possible so that parents--not Washington politicians--are deciding the future of our children.

On Energy & Oil:
Substantial increases in drilling for American oil
As the demand for energy grows greater, our resources remain stagnant. For too long, America has relied on other nations for its energy needs. Now, with instability in the Middle East and an increasing threat from rogue nations like
Iran, the harnessing of American energy is more important than ever before. If elected to Congress, I'll push for a comprehensive energy plan that includes substantial increases in drilling for American oil.

On Government Reform:
Enact congressional term limits
Q: What in the nature of mankind caused America's Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
Allen: The Founders secured our rights by establishing three branches of government, as the government itself is an entity from which the citizens need protecting. In the vein of checking government power,
I want to enact term limits on those serving so that we can stop sending politicians that think they are above the law to Congress and replace them with ordinary people who
have served their communities and want to go to Washington to secure every citizen's natural rights and make a difference.

On Gun Control:
Right to bear arms needs to be protected
The 'Right to Bear Arms' is one of the most fundamental and important rights in the Constitution and needs to be protected. As a lifelong member of the NRA,
I cherish this right and will fight each and every day to protect and uphold the 2nd Amendment.

On Health Care:
ObamaCare is wrong approach & needs to be stopped
In 2010, the Democrats in Congress rammed through ObamaCare, hurting our senior citizens by slashing billions from Medicare, decreasing the quality of healthcare and, most disturbingly, putting Washington bureaucrats between patients and doctors.
It's the wrong approach to healthcare and it needs to be stopped. I'll immediately join the fight to repeal ObamaCare and push for market-driven reforms rather than more big government solutions.

On Immigration:
Our borders remain vulnerable; block any amnesty
Immigration is another example of Washington's failure to solve the major problems facing our nation. For the last few decades, politicians have debated the problem of illegal immigrants, yet our borders remain vulnerable.
We must immediately secure the border, enforce the laws we currently have on the books, and block any solution that includes amnesty for illegals.
