The 1996 campaign offered a glimpse into Grover's later political views, largely compatible to those of former Republican presidential contender [[Pat Buchanan]]. Grover proposed a $10-a-barrel [[oil]] import tax to, in his view, reduce American dependence on imported oil, raise revenue to cut the deficit, and provide an incentive for independent oil drillers to find new wells. Grover proposed bringing home all American troops from Europe and placing them on the Mexican border from [[Brownsville, Texas|Brownsville]] to [[San Diego]].
