The Twelve Commitments

Today in New Hampshire, Rudy Giuliani unveiled the foundation of his policy platform. Calling it the twelve commitments, Rudy promises to use these tenets to move America forward.


We're happy to see the Mayor speaking about emergency preparedness.

County governments are first responders dealing with all types of disasters – natural and man-made. Through their public safety, health, transportation, emergency management and other department’s, counties must develop and carry out detailed plans to prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from disasters. But they cannot do it alone. There must be support and coordination among all levels of government which ensures we’re all more prepared in case of emergency.

We hope that Giuliani fulfills these commitments by ensuring that first responders have the necessary training, equipment and proper communication channels to respond to disasters through adequate funding and support of county governments.

The Twelve Commitments:

1. I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us.
2. I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.
3. I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.
4. I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.
5. I will impose accountability on Washington.
6. I will lead America towards energy independence.
7. I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.
8. I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.
9. I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.
10. I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
11. I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.
12. I will expand America’s involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.
