saw this on another board-thought it might be interesting.

For me:
1. destruction of the elite order ( entrenched special interests ruling thru plutocratic means)
2. Constitutional rule (separation/balance of powers)
3.anti-corruption/graft ( see Clinton Inc. for how not to have this)
 
My top issues would probably be

1. Reduce the size of the federal government and a return to truly following the constitutional
2. Empowering and supporting more local farmers and enhancing the agricultural community across the country
3. Term limits within the federal and state government
4. Education, so getting rid of common core, lowering the cost of state tuitions by reducing wasteful spending and ending corruption, and giving more statewide advocacy for degrees in agricultural sciences and trade schools
5. Reducing the debt and spending less tax dollars on federal social programs and unnecessary or inefficient government agencies

There are a lot of other important issues but that's what comes to mind right now.

What's following the constitution really mean? Are social security and Medicare constitutional? Should we eliminate them?

To me its taking the US constitution and treating it more literally. So basically if it's not mentioned in the US constitution right now, so something like social security, then it would be left to the states to decide if they want to create a system like that. If the states went through the proper process for adding an amendment to the US constitution and it passed then I would see that as being constitutional and i'd be on board. Does that make sense?

Agricultural issues are important to me which is why I mentioned them. I was raised in it since my parents are ranchers/farmers, agribusiness is my current major in college, and before this I was very active in 4-H and FFA through high school and still active with FFA now.
