The following bug were listed on Jones' campaign website. For a total list of campaign themes, click here.

"	Bring Our Troops Home Now!: Our troops are sinking deeper into the abyss of unending wars in the Middle East. It'southward time to end these wars that are so plush in lives lost and coin wasted. Illegal Immigration: Currently the U.S. government has military bases in over 100 foreign nations to defend their borders and to repel foreign invasion of those countries. I recall information technology is fourth dimension to bring our troops abode to defend our own country'southward borders against illegal alien drug dealers, criminals, and potential terrorists. No More than "Sanctuary Cities"!: This is about the dumbest idea always conceived. And information technology is clearly a breathy violation of Article iv, section 4 of the Constitution of the United States, where every state is guaranteed a republican form of government and protection confronting invasion and domestic violence. So, no Mayor or City Council has the authorization to declare their city a "sanctuary" for illegal aliens who are in violation of Federal immigration laws. No Immunity for Illegal Aliens: Don't believe the Liberal media lies that in that location are 11 meg illegal aliens in this country. They have been using that number for at to the lowest degree 10 years. The real number of illegal aliens is 20-30 1000000. And, they are costing united states billions of dollars each year in free wellness care, subsidized housing, costless didactics for their children; and spreading diseases and vehement criminal offence beyond the state. Make English the Official Language: America was founded by English speaking people. For most of our history as a nation, if you wanted to be able to advance yourself, equally a new legal immigrant, you had to acquire how to speak and write in English. Since 1965, with the repeal of the McCarran-Walter Human activity, (which was an immigration law favoring White, European legal immigrants) the requirement for citizenship to be able to speak and write English language was swept aside and at present any two-legged vagabond from any Third-earth, non-white, or non-Christian country is given preference whether they arrived legally or illegally. Either, learn America's language, our culture, and respect our laws or exit of our country! [thirteen]	"

2012

On his campaign website, Jones listed 12 leading bug that he is concerned about. They were:^{[xiv] [15] [xvi]}

• War on Terrorism: Excerpt: "I'm completely against the wars in Republic of iraq and Afghanistan, equally well every bit the deployment of troops to other countries when they're needed to protect our borders. America can't afford to go along going to war. Before nosotros lose more than lives and spend hundreds of billions of more dollars that could be used at habitation, America should cut its losses."

• Jobs: Excerpt: "The biggest culprits for the loss of American jobs are free-trade treaties. I telephone call these "Treasoness Trade Treaties." Three treaties recently ratified with Columbia, Panama and South Korea will eliminate tens of thousands more American jobs once these treaties go into event. A treaty with South korea lonely will cost 159,000 American jobs. Only an America Outset Merchandise Policy, which I back up and puts American workers starting time, is the only manner to preserve American jobs."

• Illegal Immigration: Excerpt: "I believe illegal immigrants should be deported. We should secure our borders to salvage our state, non waste lives and money defending the borders of other countries. Under our Constitution (Article 4, Section 4), our authorities is required to protect us against invasion, even so we're being invaded on a daily basis by illegal immigrants."

• Gay Spousal relationship Ban: "I'm absolutely opposed to gay marriage because I believe information technology's subversive to normal family life. Nor should homosexuals and lesbians exist allowed to flaunt their abnormal sexual desires openly while in any branch of the US military machine."

• Abortion Ban: "I am a "right to lifer" who believes that mothers shouldn't abort their babies, as it amounts to murder. I will fight to enact a constitutional amendment to cease abortion in our country once and for all."

• Educational activity Reform: Extract: "I believe more trade schools, business schools, and vocational schools should be ready so that these young men and women can learn valuable skills, that will permit them to earn a expert living without going heavily into debt. Going to college seems to provide the nigh educated, unemployed, and heavily indebted workforce in the world."

• Conceal Weapons Rights:"I believe the citizens of Illinois should take the right to acquit concealed weapons. It's the only state that doesn't permit a citizen to protect his or her rights and property. Allowing gun owners to carry concealed weapons would cut down on crime."

• Health Insurance Reform: Excerpt: "one. No free wellness care for illegal aliens. 2. Medical care fraud is currently costing over $100 Billion a year. The mandatory penalty for such criminals should be a 10 year prison house term. 3. Medical Malpractice Insurance premiums are too loftier. four. All medical professionals --doctors, nurses, specialists, therapists, etc. -- should exist required to accept an annual Medical Competency Exam in their corresponding field of medicine. v. Finally, a special bureau that operates much like Medicaid, should be ready to provide funds for Catastrophic Illnesses simply."
• Tax Reform: Excerpt: "Simply put, the FEDERAL INCOME TAX MUST Be REPEALED!To comply costs more than than the revenue it brings in. I advise either a simple flat tax of x% or a x% national sales tax, that exempts nutrient and medicine."

• Counterbalanced Budget Amendment: "I support a Constitutional amendment that requires the budget be balanced earlier it tin be signed by the President. That will permanently foreclose deficit spending past Congress or the President."

• Public Financing of Elections: Excerpt: "I believe every candidate, no matter the party he or she runs under, should be given equal funds from a taxpayer funded campaign fund in one case they have been duly placed on the ballot. Public entrada financing will eliminate all influence from corporate large shots, labor unions, media moguls, defence force contractors, and racial and religious force per unit area groups."

• Social Security: "Social Security is for some American seniors their but source of retirement income. For that reason, we must keep Social Security. Nevertheless, those with no need of Social Security as adamant past their income, should be willing to forego their benefits if necessary to proceed the Social Security system from insolvency. This would be a voluntary act of peachy Christian clemency, to practice so."

• Wage Reform: Extract: "'All wages earned at overtime, fourth dimension and a half or double time or any tips received past full or part-time workers shall non be subject to any federal taxes.' This would let all working people to go on more than of what they earn, without requiring their employers to pay more out of their pockets. It would too encourage employees to be more productive for their employers which would mean greater profits for business."
