The American Independent Party, California affiliate of the U.S. Taxpayers Party, supports:

• Improved quality of public education as well as encouragement of private and home school alternatives;
• Control of crime; stiff penalties for repeat offenders, with capital punishment where appropriate; putting criminals behind bars, rather than taking away the citizens' right to own firearms;
• Protection of American jobs from the unfair foreign competition of the NAFTA and GATT/WTO agreements;
• Control of immigration, legal and illegal, and denial of all tax funded benefits to illegal aliens;
• A balanced budget now, along with tax relief to encourage private enterprise job creation;
• Laws to protect the sanctity of human life, including the life of the unborn;
• A debt free money system, and a non-interventionist foreign policy.

We oppose proposed revisions in the California Constitution which would limit your right to vote, impair the people's right of initiative, frustrate voter-adopted term limits, make it easier for government to tax and spend, and create non-responsive, bureaucrat dominated regional governments.

We oppose government speculation with Social Security trust funds, and affirmative action programs which substitute racial favoritism for ability.

Support these principles by voting American Independent. End ''politics as usual."
