The following issues were listed on Corley's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Immigration: Only children who have American parents can become citizens. The law now says illegals aliens who arrive here and have children makes those children automatic citizens. This law is cultural suicide to those who believe that this "loophole" threatens the cultural integrity of our nation. If Israel can build a wall, why can't we? The American people deserve better.

Energy: Over 400,000 barrels of oil a day would have been arriving from Alaska every day if Clinton had not traitorously vetoed the ANWR drilling bill approved by Congress in 1996. Not from Venezuela, not from Iran, not from Saudi Arabia but America.Our country must develop independent oil, nuclear, and coal creating capacity. We must drill to live. Russia, China, and India are not so stupid.

Taxes: Americans work until May of every year before they get to keep what they earn. Its the duty of conservatives to honor their hard work and protect their paychecks from the increasing size of the federal government. We can start by eliminating the Department of Education, having personal accounts for social security, and eliminating earmarks. In addition, the war against tobacco, a legal product, should stop.

Second Amendment: The U.S. Constitution is clear. There should be no abridgement of the right to "Keep and bear arms". Crime is caused by the lack of an armed citizenry, not from restrictions on self-defense. The healthy use of capital punishment for a variety of heinous crimes has shown to be a great deterrent.[10]
