We believe that America is a sovereign nation, and that a sovereignty is defined by its institutions, culture and, most of all, its secure borders. We will be vigilant against incursions on our precious sovereignty.

“As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.” – ANDREW JACKSON, 7th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Illegal immigration is a threat to our sovereignty and we will fight to end it, once and for all.

Beyond securing the border based upon the construction of the wall, and ending illegal immigration, VMAG will also seek to dramatically reshape the legal immigration system, with an eye toward using immigration to advance America’s interests—and only America’s interests.  Although President Trump is working hard to improve the situation, our current system still allows almost unfettered immigration, which drives down wages for American workers and puts our homeland security at risk.  The situation today is not acceptable: It must be improved, fast, to better serve our nation and its citizens.

For too long, the middle class has been taken for granted—they are truly, the Forgotten Man, and the Forgotten Woman, and their children.  We believe that if the middle class is strong, America will be strong.  For too long, fat-cats have enjoyed a weird kind of socialism for the rich.  As we saw in the bipartisan Wall Street bailout of 2008, which put trillions in the pockets of big bankers and their hirelings and cronies, the status quo system is the enemy of the middle class, and its values.  At the same time, foolish welfare policies have enabled a deeply destructive culture of dependence.  We have compassion for the truly needy, but we believe that  people should see work, not welfare, as the best path.  Nationalism will put an end to the foolish idea that the rich and the poor should both live in taxpayer-funded socialism.

We believe that America should be fully and completely energy independent. Indeed, it should be energy dominant.  Thanks to the genius of our fossil fuels industry—oil, gas, and coal—and its many hard-working employees, contractors, and suppliers, America is on its way to energy security, and yet we must do more.  Indeed, given the abundance of energy underneath our lands and waters—estimates run into the hundreds of trillions of dollars in latent wealth—there’s no reason why all Americans should not benefit directly from our national energy bounty, in the way that Alaskans already benefit from Alaska’s wealth.

Theodore Roosevelt had his Square Deal, Franklin D. Roosevelt had his New Deal, and Harry Truman had his Fair Deal.  In 2017 the Congressional Democrats released their plan for a “Better Deal,” and in its general outlines, it was at least an attempt to reclaim some of the middle that Hillary Clinton had ceded in her second doomed presidential campaign.  And yet this year, the Better Deal has been waylaid by the far left of the Democratic Party, which has lost all sight of the national interest in pursuit of unrealistic budget-busting goals, such as “Medicare For All,” and crazy nation-busting goals, such as “Abolish ICE.”  We reject these and other radical ideas as unaffordable, undesirable, un-American, or perhaps all three.

The Best Deal focuses on providing American citizens with the tools they need to build a better life for themselves, including good, no-nonsense education, world-class infrastructure, secure industries operating in a good business climate, safe streets, and clean air, water, and land.   This is how the Best Deal will create the Best America—the American Dream.

We believe in our unalienable rights, among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  We believe in the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights—all of it, including, of course, the Second Amendment.

Today, we view with alarm the increasing encroachments of the Tech Lords of Silicon Valley. who have been able to use political favoritism to gain legal and regulatory carve outs, thereby reaping billions, even trillions.  Yet as we also know, at the same time, they sought to squelch our freedom, through censorship and opaque tech tricks,  If the Tech Lords had their way, they would reduce all Americans to digital serfdom.  But we won’t let them!  We will bring Silicon Valley to heel, so that it once again plays by the same rules as the rest of us.

“The state capitalism of the big technology companies has taken away your digital rights, your data sovereignty.  People generate consumer value and intellectual property all day long, and yet the Tech Lords don’t pay you for it. They take it for free, they monetize at huge margins.  They leave you naked under their greedy gaze.  And on top of that, they take away your right to free speech!” – STEPHEN K. BANNON
