Any campaign slogan ideas?

Im running for the position of treasurer in my school council. We are still in the early stages of the elections and I am still appointing my team of campaign advisers, so we have yet to determine my campaign slogan. Our only idea is "Ben Morse - For the American Way" but I dont feel that its sufficient. So below I will post my political ideals and agenda and if you would please assist me that would be great. Im running because in 7 years I plan on being deployed as an officer in the United States Navy SWCC (special warfare) and I am trying to do so through the United States Naval Academy, so Im taking as many assets as I can. I plan on mentioning my patriotism and my cause throughout my campaign I believe in a capitalist American economy that is less dependent on foreign products I have conservative idealism but believe in Ronald Reagans policies above all I still support George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. I supported Romney in the primaries of 2008 but McCain in the battle with Obama. I support Romney in the 2012 primaries but respect Santorum. I am strongly against the Obama administration and their policies. I am against universal health care, unethical spending, and the Buffet Rule. I disapprove of government today. I love my country. I grew up in an era effected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks that forever changed the path of my life. My life is dedicated to this land, and Im not fond of anyone who is willing to contest. I believe in honest and honorable business. I take pride in everything I do and have been self-employed for four years. ^My father is the best financial advisor in Pennsylvania and one of the best in the country. He raised me to work like he does, and works with class, integrity, pride, and honor. Hes self-employed, and conducts himself like a small businessman. My brother is currently studying aerospace engineering (rocket science if youd rather) at Virginia Tech and I have a better GPA than he did by a wide margin. I play football and baseball. I am very athletic even with my impressive academic records. I believe in hard work, perseverance, and honor. I knocked out an occupy protestors tooth. Im a member of the NRA. Im country but I dont have backward logic and dont work on a farm but my father did in upstate New York. I speak with a North Carolina accent. Im very religious and a confirmed member of the Lutheran (Christian Protestant) faith. I do a ton of charity work every summer and donate 20% of my weekly earnings to either the American Cancer Society or Wounded Warrior Foundation. Thank-you and I hope you can help. Id appreciate if you didnt contest my political beliefs because that isnt what Ive asked of you. forgot to mention that Im against teachers unions in their entirety protecting unqualified and not devoted teachers and giving paychecks to those who dont earn them. paychecks should be based off of the quality of work performed, and not every teacher should receive the same one
Answer: Based on what you've said, I guess your slogan would be: No government! No government!
