Suspend the 2007 corn ethanol program to reduce current pressure on global food prices.

Require “e-prescriptions” to reduce fraud and error from misread handwritten prescriptions.
For Natural Disaster Insurance

Allow federal tax credit for any and all amounts paid to repair or rebuild any property, crop or equipment damaged by natural disasters not covered by insurance for all forms of property ownership.
For Supporting Our Troops
Ensure troop funding must NEVER be used to resolve internal partisan disputes as long as American soldiers are deployed in a war zone.
Provide health care funding for any deployed soldier serving or injured in the line of duty as a fully funded annual budget line item.
