The 11-Point Plan to Rescue America, often referred to as the Rescue America plan, is a policy outline released by United States Senator Rick Scott. It has been described as conservative.

The plan contains a number of controversial proposals, including the mass-firing of federal workers, setting a five year sunset provision on all federal laws, drastically reducing the funding of the Internal Revenue Service, eliminating the ability of the federal government to collect statistics on race and ethnicity, expanding qualified immunity, and raising taxes on the lowest 50% of Americans by income (Scott denies the plan proposes this). It also contains several unconstitutional proposals, including requiring students to say the Pledge of Allegiance and instituting the line-item veto.

Outline
The plan contains 11 items:
 * 1) "Our kids will say the pledge of allegiance [sic], salute the flag, learn that America is a great country, and choose the school that best fits them.
 * 2) Government will never again ask American citizens to disclose their race, ethnicity, or skin color on any government forms.
 * 3) The soft-on-crime days of coddling criminal behavior will end. We will re-fund and respect the police because they, not the criminals, are the good guys.
 * 4) We will secure our border, finish building the wall, and name it after President Donald Trump.
 * 5)  We will grow America's economy, starve Washington's economy, and stop Socialism [sic].
 * 6) We will eliminate all federal programs that can be done locally, and enact term limits for federal bureaucrats and Congress.
 * 7) We will protect the integrity of American Democracy and stop left-wing efforts to rig elections.
 * 8) We will protect, defend, and promote the American Family at all costs.
 * 9) Men are men, women are women, and unborn babies are babies. We believe in science.
 * 10) Americans will be free to welcome God into all aspects of our lives.
 * 11) We are Americans, not globalists."

Education
Scott proposes requiring students to say the Pledge of Allegiance and stand for the national anthem. He also promotes school choice, abolishing the Department of Education and eliminating tenure in public schools.
