  • "It funds abortion. Apparently, this is what some consider infrastructure now. This package would allow over $2 billion of your taxpayer dollars to flow to abortions without any pro-life protections." (twitter.com)
  • "A declining economy only results in national decline; a thriving, growing economy equates to a thriving national lifestyle—individually and collectively. Restrictive aspects of government authority are proven to impede economic growth (taxes, regulation, trade agreements, monetary policy, frivolous litigation, etc.) and must be lessened." (www.colonelswanforcongress.com)
  • "My solution: a Flat Tax with an Estate Tax Feature. Everyone pays, and everyone pays the same. This rewards productive behavior, eliminates loopholes, and stimulates employment and manufacturing among many other benefits." (twitter.com)

  • "The second most important issue that I will prioritize is getting our engine (our economy) back on track. The weight of inflation is only getting worse and Biden's mismanagement is unsustainable. Let's get our spending back under control and re-strengthen our economy. #GA10" (twitter.com)

  • "What we teach our kids TODAY, will affect where this country goes. The way things are now, our kids are 25th in the world for math, reading, and science. We are off course. The Department of Education has earned the right to be shut down. #GA10 #ColonelSwan4Congress" (twitter.com)

  • "All nations of the world have defined and secure borders; they are necessary boundaries for territory and security, and they define economic zones (especially those of oceans/ fisheries) and manage population growth and immigration. Even "failed states" have border security. If Congress is not serious about this fundamental requirement, they are not serious about any national interest. Period." (www.colonelswanforcongress.com)
