Restore U.S. sovereignty over Panama Canal Zone

Under no circumstances should we have unilaterally surrendered our military base rights in Panama. We propose that the government of the United States restore and protect its sovereign right and exclusive jurisdiction of the Canal Zone in perpetuity and renegotiate the treaties with Panama by which the ownership of the canal was surrendered to Panama. It should be a priority goal of the President and Congress to insist on enforcement of that portion of the 1978 Panama Canal Neutrality Treaty which prohibits control of the entrances to the Panama Canal by any entity not part of the Republic of Panama or the United States of America. Similarly, Congress and the President should take advantage of Panama Canal treaty provisions to negotiate the return of a U.S. military presence at the Isthmus of Panama. At a time when the U.S. Navy is one-third its former size, it is essential that rapid transit of U.S. military vessels between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans be assured.

End international giveaways including IMF & foreign aid

Since World War II, the United States has engaged in the greatest international giveaway program ever conceived by man and is now spending billions of dollars each year to aid foreign nations. There is no constitutional basis for foreign aid. These expenditures have won us no friends and constitute a major drain on the resources of our taxpayers. Therefore, we demand that:

no further funds be appropriated for any kind of foreign aid program;
United States participation in international lending institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund be ended;
the Export-Import Bank be abolished;
government subsidies, tax preferences and investment guarantees to encourage U.S. businesses to invest in foreign lands be immediately terminated; and
all debts owed to the United States by foreign countries, or foreign entities, be collected.
