The Republican Club of Falcon supports the following legislative principles.
Economic Growth:
Because wasteful government spending and over-regulation, fueled by high taxes are the greatest obstacles to job creation and economic growth, we believe in a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution and a common-sense approach to government rules and red tape.
Education:
Because our children need and are entitled to the best education in the world, we believe in parental involvement, family choice in schooling, teacher and administration accountability, the authority of local school boards, an emphasis on basic skills, and safe classrooms.
Crime Prevention/Protection:
Because all Americans have the right to be safe in their homes, on their streets, and in their communities, we believe in tough law enforcement, stiff penalties for criminals, the right of citizens to protect themselves through gun ownership, and the appointment of udges who will interpret the constitution, not legislate from the bench.
Social Issues:
Because institutions like the Family are the backbone of our society, we support the Defense of Marriage Act, a ban on Partial-Birth Abortions, the right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children, and the sanctity of human life as expressed in the pro-life plank adopted at the Republican National Convention.
Immigration:
We believe in immediately securing our borders. We oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, believing it is an injustice to those immigrants who have followed the rules and made America their home legally.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !
WASHINGTON, December 11, 2007
The U.S. House passed a resolution recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith by a vote of 372 to 9. Nine members voted against the resolution, ten refused to support it by voting "present," and 40 others members did not vote.
All but two of the representatives voting "present" or against the Christmas Resolution voted in favor of a resolution recognizing Ramadan, which passed by a 376-0 vote in October. The Ramadan Resolution stated that the House "recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world...expresses friendship and support for Muslims...acknowledges the onset of Ramadan...and conveys its respect to Muslims...rejects hatred, bigotry, and violence directed against Muslims...commends Muslims... who have privately and publicly rejected interpretations and movements of Islam that justify and encourage hatred, violence, and terror".
The Christmas Resolution uses similar language, stating that the House recognizes "the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world...expresses continued support for Christians...acknowledges the international religious and historical importance of Christmas and the Christian faith...acknowledges and supports the role played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States and in the formation of the western civilization...rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians...and expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world".
The nine members who voted against the Christmas Resolution were all Democrats: Ackerman (NY), Clarke (NY), DeGette (CO), Hastings (FL), Lee (CA), McDermott (WA), Scott (VA), Stark (CA) and Woolsey (CA). The 10 who answered "present" without entering a vote were also Democrats except one: Conyers (MI), Frank (MA), Holt (NJ), Payne (NJ), Pence (Republican from IN), Schakowsky (PA), Schwartz (PA), Wasserman-Schultz (FL), Welch (VT) and Yarmuth (KY
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith. Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world;
Whereas there are approximately 225,000,000 Christians in the United States, making Christianity the religion of over three-fourths of the American population; Whereas there are approximately 2,000,000,000 Christians throughout the world, making Christianity the largest religion in the world and the religion of about one-third of the world population;
Whereas Christians identify themselves as those who believe in the salvation from sin offered to them through the sacrifice of their savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and who, out of gratitude for the gift of salvation, commit themselves to living their lives in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Bible; Whereas Christians and Christianity have contributed greatly to the development of western civilization;
Whereas the United States, being founded as a constitutional republic in the traditions of western civilization, finds much in its history that points observers back to its roots in Christianity; Whereas on December 25 of each calendar year, American Christians observe Christmas, the holiday celebrating the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ;
Whereas for Christians, Christmas is celebrated as a recognition of God's redemption, mercy, and Grace; and Whereas many Christians and non-Christians throughout the United States and the rest of the world, celebrate Christmas as a time to serve others:
Now, therefore be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world;
(2) expresses continued support for Christians in the United States and worldwide;
(3) acknowledges the international religious and historical importance of Christmas and the Christian faith;
(4) acknowledges and supports the role played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States and in the formation of the western civilization;
(5) rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide; and(
6) expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world.

Local Government:
We believe that today’s federal government is too large and intrusive. We believe that the American people, acting through their State and local elected officials, can do better for themselves and should have control over programs like education and welfare - thereby pushing power away from official Washington and returning it to the people in their communities and states.
