Repeal & replace ObamaCare.[http://www.mikehuckabee.com/spending-debt(MHWSD)] 

Oppose new gun restrictions, registrations, regulations & mandates[http://www.mikehuckabee.com/2nd-amendment(MHWGC)] ==Veterans=="My first act as President will be to end the national disgrace of failing to properly care for veterans who sacrificed so greatly for our country. America’s soldiers deserve first-class treatment and top-quality care — anything less is unfair, unacceptable, and simply un-American. As President, I will:

==National Security==1) Fix the VA and give our heroes greater choices. We must hold VA hospital officials and government bureaucrats accountable.Rebuild America’s military superiority. The best way to avoid conflict is to build a lethal fighting force so strong 2) Solve the disability claims crisis and powerful that no one would dare mess with usinexcusable wait times.

Restore 3) Empower our role as leader of the Free World. Our enemies no longer fear us veterans with permanent careers, purpose, and our allies no longer trust a growing economy — not temporary programs or respect usgovernment gimmicks.

Reject Obama’s crisis-management approach to the world. We need a President who will accept responsibility 4) Fight for mental health awareness, treatment, and leadsuicide prevention.

Priorities matter — our nation must make sure the first fruits of our treasury go to those serving in uniform."

I will: 1) Reject Obama’s radical, EPA mandates that strangle farmers with moral clarity bureaucracy and Washington nonsense. 2)Fight for free and fair trade. Americans can compete with anyone in the world, but agriculture trade is often unfair and not free. 3)Support American corn producers and the renewable fuel standard. Washington shouldn’t pick favorites or change the rules in the middle of the game. 4)Abolish the Death Tax and protect family farms. I governed a dangerous worldrural state for ten years and 25% of our economy was agriculture. I was also born and raised in rural America. As President, I will never forget my roots or my small town values."[http://www.mikehuckabee.com/agriculture (MHWA)] ==Family Values== "I will never apologize for my faith, my convictions or my values. Period. Life begins at conception. Moral clarity This isn’t just a Biblical view — it’s affirmed by modern science and every unique human DNA schedule, which is present at conception. As Governor, I promoted and signed a fetal protection act. I imposed a ban on partial birth abortion, established waiting periods, created parental notification requirements, and passed a bill so mothers who brought a newborn to a hospital or fire station would not be prosecuted for child abandonment. I may stand alone, but I am absolutely faithful to the foundation to our economic issue of marriage. Not because it’s politically expedient, but because it’s the Biblical position, the historical position and the right position. We must defend, protect and military strengthpreserve traditional marriage."
