Campaign websiteHorn's campaign website stated the following:Protect Our 1st Amendment RightsIn order to have an honest debate there has to be differing opinions. If differing opinions are labeled as “hate speech,” then there is no discussion. If someone has the power to label any statement as hate speech, then there is no limit to their ability to control all discussions. Declaring something as hate speech is meant to divide and control people. To give someone the power to criminally declare hate speech is to give them the power to regulate people’s speech, behavior, discussions and social interactions. The power to define hate speech along with the ability to control it’s criminality is the power to enslave people.Protect Our CountryWild birds flying over the grazing pasture. Farm Dogs enjoying walks with their farmers. This is life in the country. These are our homes. This is American life. This is why we go into the military to fight for our country. This is why we fight against Unscrupulous Corporations and Corrupt Politicians. This is why we work 60, 80 and a 100 hours a week to pay for our dreams. We worked forty years for our country life. We will fight to preserve our American Life. Unless we stop the Corrupted government- It’s a toxic burn kiln in our neighborhood today, and your house tomorrow.Either we fight for our country, or we won’t have a countryTRUMP He’s Back! Yes, He’s carrying the heavy load. But, there’s still a lot of work to be done. Protect Our 2nd Amendment RightsGun control is the fastest way to destroy America.    It is treasonous to disarm the populace.     It’s nobody’s business why we need a certain firearm.     If we give up our 2A rights, then we have no other rights.Protect Our 4th Amendment RightsThe government has no right to search our possessions.They must obtain permission from us or the courts.Protect Our 6th Amendment RightsEvery day good decent honest people go to work doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. They just want to do their jobs, go home and live their lives. The same holds true for most of the people in the law enforcement, the judicial system and social workers. Most people want to do their jobs and go home to their families. However, there are a few bad apples in every profession. I fully support the people in Law Enforcement. I have the highest esteem for those in Law Enforcement, the Judicial Systems and Social Work.I fully support our good officers in doing their difficult jobs. I fully support the officers in ICE and the Border Patrol. My cousin Chris worked for C/BP for thirty years before retiring. In 2015, Chris was the Director of Operations for all of C/BP. Both of my brothers and myself worked in the Social Work fields for many years. My brother Mike was Director of County Mental Health in El Centro, CA. He worked in the Social Work arena for over fifty years. My good friend Dean retired as a police sergeant from a major city in the Metroplex. (Dean never pulled his gun on anybody in his forty years on the police force. The same holds true for many officers. They just want to do their job and go home to their families.) My neighbor Dan is a retired fire fighter from the city of Richardson, Texas. I know how hard good officers work.I have a problem with officers who use their badge to target “problematic” people. I have a problem with officers who forget that other people work hard and want to go home to their families. In the “Why Me” section I detailed some of these officers in the letter to my friend “Tina”.Plea Agreements Destroys Our Due ProcessAmendment VIIn all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.People sitting in jail for years for their refusal to sign a plea agreement, or pay an outrageous bond forfeiture. Court appointed defense attorneys work with prosecutors to convict people with plea agreements. Defense attorneys throw cases. Judges knowingly allow travesty of justice in their courts. Our political and judicial systems need to be cleansed and sanitized.In Kentucky, a sheriff killed a judge for running a sex prostitution ring. In Rains County, Texas, a Judge allegedly threatened to have a person killed if he would not sign a plea agreement. There are police departments who can make problems “go-away” by disposing of problematic people. People are left in jails for years waiting for trial. Since the person is charged but not convicted, there is no oversight agency looking into their cases. How prevalent are these cases in our country? There are politicians who use this system to stay in power. How many people have been Clintonized? They tried to do it to Trump. They did it to Stephen K. Bannon.Our rights cannot be suspended by an over burdened court.Protect Our VotesProof of Citizenship to vote in federal elections!Protect Our Country from China Cleanse The Communist Chinese Party (CCP) from our nation.Every American should hear Mike Rowe’s interview with Jan Jekielek!CONGRESS Congress must be cleansed.Eradicate foreign influence in our government. Protect Our BorderBorders are designed to protect our citizens & our national sovereignty.Protect Our ChildrenParents have the Right & Responsibility to oversee their children’s life, education & health care.Protect Our MilitaryOur Children in The Military Should Not Be Dying to Protect the Financial Investments of Corporations, Politicians, and Foreign Governments.
