Make Congress members put investments in blind trust

Gade announced his first course of action will be the introduction of the Stop Insider Trading Act. "Using your official position for private gain, whether you're a Republican or Democrat, is an egregious abuse of public office," said Gade. The Act will require all Members of Congress to place their investment portfolio in a blind trust. Gade's legislation will prohibit Members of Congress from using information received from their official duties for personal benefit.

Government overreach is tyranny

We must return to a fiscally responsible government that promotes individual freedom. Powers not given to the federal government explicitly in the Constitution are reserved to the people or to the States. Government overreach should be called what it is: tyranny. It's past time to rein in government overreach and return to Constitutional government.

Pledges to support Congressional term limits

U.S. Term Limits praises candidate Daniel Gade for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. It reads, "I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit." The U.S. Term Limits constitutional amendment has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate by Senator Ted Cruz (SJR1) and the U.S. House by Representative Francis Rooney (HJR20).

Strongly supports Electoral College, according to AFA survey.

Gade opposes the AFA survey question on abolishing the Electoral College

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'The Electoral College should be abolished'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)

Strict Constitutionalist, according to CC survey.

Gade supports the Christian Coalition survey question on judicial Constitutionalism

The Christian Coalition inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Appointing Judges Who Will Adhere to a Strict Interpretation of the Constitution?' Self-description by Christian Coalition of America: "These guides help give voters a clear understanding of where candidates stand on important pro-family issues" for all Senate and Presidential candidates.
