• Saving Our Cities: The last few decades have been tough for Libertopia. Cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Gary have suffered greatly due to the loss of manufacturing and trade. Millions have lost opportunities and many more have left their states for other regions. Something must be done to staunch this bleeding before the region becomes a shell of its former self;
  
  
• Saving Our Businesses: As a small business owner, I know how tough it is to compete against groups like Wal-Mart. When the federal government helps these big businesses, either through inaction or malfeasance, it is disheartening. Our new system of government must recognize that corporations are not entitled to the same constitutional rights as people.
  
  
• Saving Our Water: Natural resources are important for any state. Few, though, are more important than water. While we are sympathetic to the concerns of states like California, the Great Lakes are a regional treasure and a source of security for our people. We would oppose any other region's attempt to infringe upon our sovereign rights. No authority should be able to extract another region's resources without its consent;
  
  
• Saving Our Status: Libertopia is one of the most diverse regions in the country. It is a place where people of different ideologies come and work together. It makes sense why states like Ohio and Pennsylvania enjoy such influence in election years. While other regions have become polarized, Libertopia remains a beacon of bipartisan solutions. As such, we would strongly oppose any attempts to reduce our region's status in the political system. We especially oppose any attempt to remove the Electoral College without very strong concessions;
  
  
• Saving Our Free Speech: Today, more than ever, our ability to communicate is under assault. We would oppose any attempts to limit the breadth or depth of free speech. The ability of private citizens to "speak their mind" must not be infringed upon, nor can the ability of journalists be undermined. We also consider prohibitions against political speech in churches to be wrong. We would encourage the government to recognize the importance of each of these actors in fostering political dialogue;
  
  
• Saving Our Soldiers: We are deeply concerned by the growing power of the president, especially in matters of foreign policy. The Imperial Presidency has dragged us into wars without congressional authorization or public debate. Our soldiers fight at the whim of the Executive. As such, we ask the Electoral College to rein in the excesses of the presidency and return the Congress to its position in matters of war and peace;
  
  
• Saving Our Values: It's no secret that the United States of America is a country founded on Judeo-Christian values. Yet, our traditions are under attack by so-called elites who believe that we cling to our "guns and religion." If this country is to succeed another 240 years, it needs to enshrine our beliefs and values into the Constitution.

• The Power and Authority of the National Government, the Several States, and the People;
  
• The Role of the Legislature;
  
• The Role of the Executive and Judiciary;
  
• The Bill of Rights and the Doctrine of Incorporation; and
  
• Economic Rights and American Capitalism;
