Individuals and families are responsible for their behavior. Public policy should encourage and empower their efforts to provide for their own health, safety, education, moral fortitude and personal wealth.

We support private property rights as guaranteed by the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution.

We believe the best interests of all South Dakota citizens will result from working cooperatively with tribal governments.

National security, national sovereignty, public safety, the right to self-defense, the rule of constitutional and statutory law, and civil justice should be preserved without excessive undue burdens to civil liberty.

The State should only collect taxes to fund legitimate government functions. Government taxes, fees, and spending should be limited to essential, inherently governmental functions.

We support the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, as confirmed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. And Article VI, Section 24 of the South Dakota Constitution.

Traditional American families should be encouraged and moral values supported by policies to nurture strong marriages between one man (XY) and one woman (XX).

Parents have the first and primary responsibility of educating their children. We support access to locally controlled education.
