Reform Party of Ohio Platform

By John R. Mitchel

Education - Ohio needs a plan for educating our children. The major parties are way out of step with what the citizens want.

Taxes - Flat tax, Sales Tax, Value-Added Tax? One thing is for sure, the IRS needs to be overhauled and we need a fairer system of taxation.

Budget - It must be balanced!

Immigration - It is both our right and our responsibility to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest.

Trade - Ohio's jobs are going south. Its time to stop rewarding the exodus.Social Security - Our retirement is in trouble. For too long politicians have borrowed against the future. Now its time for pay back.

Campaign Finance Reform - Even now the two major parties are spend more time collecting money than addressing issues for the voters.

Ethics - Prohibit lobbyists from giving gifts to current or former public officials

The mission of the Reform Party is to restore integrity, account ability and fiscal responsibility in government.

Background …

In 1992, Ross Perot electrified America by bringing a vision of high ethics and traditional American values to the political scene. The Reform Party is an outgrowth of that original movement which started with United We Stand America. Now a viable 3^rd Party choice for voters, the Reform Party continues to grow and promote the power of votes over money.
