How the Two Major Parties Differ from
the American vision of "Liberty Under God":

---

• The Constitution:
• How to interpret the Constitution
• Most politicians who take an oath to "support the Constitution" are ignorant of its most basic assumptions:
  • The federal government only has the powers granted to it -- "enumerated" -- in the Constitution.
  • The "General Welfare" clause is no exception to this principle.
  • "States Rights" -- most government should be carried out on a local level.

• The Constitution created a federal government with very limited powers, bound down by the "chains of the constitution." The Bush-Obama Regime believes it has vast, unlimited powers to cure all diseases, fund all causes, and bring salvation.

• We are no longer under the Constitution. We are now an "Administrative State."

• Sidebar: Did the Constitution contain the seeds of its own destruction? The Articles of Confederation

• The Free Market:

• America's Founders spoke of America as "an Experiment in Liberty" (1787-1887)
  • The "experiment" was a success: a Free Market made America the most prosperous and admired nation in history. "Capitalism" means freedom.
• In the 20th century, the experiment in liberty was replaced with another experiment: an experiment in central planning
  • also known as "corporatism," "fascism," and "socialism," it has replaced true Capitalism, and America is no longer prosperous and admired, but bankrupt and despised.
• The original American dream of personal, private ownership, has been replaced with private indebtedness and public control.
• The Invisible Hand of the Free Market works better than the Visible Fist of Government
• America was founded on the philosophy of "Liberty Under God."
  • "Liberty" means freedom from government suppression of ideas and confiscation of wealth
  • "Under God" means we have a personal responsibility to love God and neighbor.
• The original American Dream: Everyone dwelling safely under his own Vine & Fig Tree
  • Human beings are endowed with the right to property by God, not the government.
• America was founded as a "City upon a Hill," a Christian nation from which the Gospel would be promoted around the world, and the "blessings of liberty" would cover the planet.
• There is a difference between "the state" and "society." Society = the people.
• Economics in One Lesson:
  • From this aspect, therefore, the whole of economics can be reduced to a single lesson, and that lesson can be reduced to a single sentence: The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.
• Terrorism
  • Why do they call The United States "The Great Satan?"

    • The federal government bombs Muslims

    • The federal government has military bases in Muslim nations

    • The federal government supports Israel's actions against Palestinians 

  • These are the reasons given by Osama bin Laden for declaring a "fatwah" (holy war) against the U.S.
  • All of these accusations are true.
  • All of these government actions are contrary to the Constitution.
  • The biggest cause of terrorism -- and the most dangerous threat to the personal safety and security of ordinary Americans like you and me -- is the Federal Government of the United States.
  • The federal government is no longer a City upon a Hill, but an imperialist empire.
  • America's Founders envisioned the American people, acting as businessmen, humanitarians, and missionaries, engaging in commercial and charitable activities around the world, bringing peace and receiving the admiration of the world.

    • "The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible."
      — Washington, Farewell Address (1796) [Washington’s emphasis]

    • "I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government, and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration,…peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."
      — Jefferson, First Inaugural Address (1801) 

  • Bush's unconstitutional military invasion of Iraq has destroyed Christianity in that country.
    • Under Saddam Hussein's secular government, Christians in Iraq had greater freedom than in most other Arab nations, and one of the largest Christian populations in the Muslim world was in Iraq.
    • Iraq is now an Islamic theocracy under Sharia law. The Christian population has been destroyed. Christian Churches are burned and terrorized with impunity. Thanks be to Washington D.C.
  • Obama is following in Bush's unconstitutional, anti-Christian footsteps.
  • The U.S. needs to take greater leadership in avoiding nuclear mass-murder.
  • Is any war a "Just War?" We must beat our "swords into plowshares."
• The New World Order
  • The "G-20" Leaders are not our representatives.
  • The U.S. must end "entangling alliances" with dictators around the globe.
• Socialized Medical Care
  • Capitalism, not socialism, creates higher quality health care for more people, especially for the poor.
  • Health care reforms should decrease, not increase, government involvement.
    • No Government licensing of doctors and other healthcare providers.
    • No transformation of insurance into welfare.
• Environmentalism
  • A false religion - worshiping the creature rather than the Creator.
  • Human beings have a higher priority than wildlife.
    • Dominion
    • Human beings need a healthy environment -- obviously.
    • "The State" is the greatest destroyer of the environment, and limits liability of polluters, to the detriment of private property owners.
• Time for Revolution?
• "No Taxation Without Representation" - a rallying cry of the American Revolution.
  • Taxes consume more than 2/3 of everything you earn
  • There is no real representation
    • The Constitutional goal of a representative republic has been replaced by the concept of an "Administrative State."
    • The overwhelming majority of laws today are not made by elected representatives, but by unelected bureaucrats.
  • Most Americans would rather have the rates of taxation that George III imposed on the colonies
• Taxation is a relatively unimportant federal revenue generator. The fed now creates money out of thin air
• This money-creation system is immoral and unconstitutional. It steals from the poor and elderly.
• America's Founding Fathers would conclude that The First Amendment had been repealed
  • There is no freedom of religion: the U.S. is officially atheistic.
  • There is no freedom of the press: the media is the lapdog of "the Establishment."
• Everyone who signed the Constitution, if they were here today, would urge the repeal of the Constitution and the abolition of the government created by that document.

“Why Americans Should
Celebrate Christmas
365 Days a Year”

The word "Christ" means "King." The Message of Christmas and the Principles set forth by the Christ (the Messiah) who came that first Christmas are the real solution to America's problems. The Federal Government is at war with Christmas and "The Way of Peace" announced by the Prince of Peace. The Government should be on His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6-7). Abolishing a Messianic State is the only appropriate way to honor the Messiah. Otherwise Christmas becomes mass hypocrisy.

Christmas	Bush-Clinton-Obama
Matthew 1:1-17 Jesus was a descendant of King David. The Jews gave us the Bible.	Obama is a distant cousin of both Dick Cheney and George Bush How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
Luke 1:1-4 Eyewitnesses of the Messiah recorded their testimony. Co-Founder of the Harvard Law School says their testimony would prove the resurrection in any court of law in America, at one time a Christian nation.	No longer a Christian nation, American courts routinely release the guilty and condemn the innocent.
John 1:1-18 - The Incarnation The Word became flesh. The Creator of the universe becomes a human being. He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him, preferring darkness rather than light.	"The State is God walking on Earth" The worldview of the religion of Secular Humanism a false religion of darkness The 2 parties are cooperating rival sects in the world's most powerful religious cult. Christ the Word Christ the Creator Incarnation and Liberty Statism - The Worship of "the State"
Luke 3:23-38 Jesus was a descendant of Abraham. All those who submit to Jesus as the Messiah (the rightful king of the earth) inherit the promises made to Abraham	Those who reject the Messiah do not inherit the promises made to Abraham, even though Bush defends their right to do so.
Luke 1:5-25 John the Baptist prepares the way for the Messiah, as prophesied of Elijah.	As you read the Gospel accounts, ask yourself how you would react if you knew these accounts were really true. Not just true in some "religious" sense, but reported in the New York Times, proven in a court of law, or acknowledged by your personal hero.  (How do you know something is true? Do you even have any "heroes?") How should you change your life if your Creator became a human being? How should Washington D.C. react if this human being claimed to be the true Ruler?
Luke 1:26-38 The Angel Gabriel announces the conception of the Messiah, who will be given the throne of David.
Luke 1:39-45 The unborn John recognizes the mother of the Messiah.	Bush-Obama would chop the unborn John and the unborn Jesus into stem cells for "medical research."
Luke 1:46-56 - "The Magnificat" “He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.” Luke 1:51	The Bush Administration is filled with the power-hungry, who commit adultery in reality or in fantasy.
Luke 1:67-80 Zacharias, John the Baptist's father, prophecies the birth of Jesus the anti-king.	The expectations of Zacharias are 180° opposite those of the Bush-Obama Administration.
Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph told about the Incarnation. "Jesus" means "salvation" "Immanuel" means "God with us"	The Bush Administration thinks it brings salvation. Obama thinks he is Immanuel.
Luke 2:1-7 The Prophet Micah predicted that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Jesus' parents lived in Nazereth. Therefore God predestined Caesar to issue a decree (probably relating to taxes) that would bring Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem before Jesus was born.	Bush claims the same global power of confiscation and migration as Caesar did. Thousands of Christians have been forced to move out of Iraq to make way for Bush's Islamic Theocracy.
Luke 2:8-14 An army of angels announces the birth of the Messiah, saying, “Glory to God in the highest,       And on earth peace to those with whom He is pleased!”	Man's chief end is to glorify God and live in peace. The Bush Administration's chief end is to erect a "wall of separation" between God and government so that the State gives no glory to God, and to wage war, thereby "stimulating the economy."
Luke 2:15-20 “Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.”	Washington D.C. isn't listening.
Luke 2:22-24 Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem to obey Leviticus 12:8, which suggests that they were not rich.	Washington politicians are among the richest and most financially secure people in America.

Luke 2:25-35 Simeon had been told he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah. He says Jesus is "The One."
	Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

Luke 2:36-38 Anna the Prophetess is another well-known Godly person who acknowledges that Jesus is the Child promised by the prophets.	Where is the Anna of our day who tells us we can trust Washington D.C. to bring salvation?
Matthew 2:1-8 "Wise men from the East" knew of Micah's prophecy that the King of the Jews would be born in Bethlehem.	Are there any wise men around the world who place their confidence in George Bush, Henry Paulson, Paul Krugman, or Barack Obama?
Matthew 2:9-12 The kings from the east present the Messiah with "gold, frankincense, and myrrh."	Rather than bestowing wealth on the King, Obama-Bush confiscates the wealth of others.
Matthew 2:13-18 When Herod got word of the birth of a rival king, he behaved in a perfectly logical way (for someone who wants to protect his power):  he massacred all male babies the age of Jesus. Herod recognized that Jesus was a threat to Herod's power.	Every day in America 4,000 unborn babies are murdered. These babies must threaten something. Millions of Americans who call themselves Christians, on the other hand, are no threat to tyranny. None of them are being killed. Bush has killed a thousand times more human beings than Herod did, and confiscated a billion times more wealth than Herod did.
Matthew 28:18-20 Herod's son Antipas played a small role in the execution of Jesus Christ. But Jesus rose from the dead, was enthroned on the throne of David at the right hand of God, and assumed the rightful role of King over all nations.	"Beginning today and culminating on Sunday morning, Christians will celebrate with their families the resurrection of Christ, His victory over death. We will remember that He gave His body and His blood—washing clean the faults and the shortcomings of the world. In our rejoicing we will renew the hope that is ours through the risen Lord." Ronald Reagan: Statement on the Celebration of Passover and Easter

Listeners' Questions

william of irvine - irvine california kevin,,as the bible is our main book,what other books would you recomend to read for spiritual,political and health issues?	See the Reading chart above
Questions from previous Town Halls:
sir william - irvine,calif. how do we get our church away from dispensational thinking and the likes of c s scofield ,hal lindsey so on,,what question should we ask them to get them to think	You must take them by the hand and walk a mile with them. Weeks and weeks of Bible studies. www.NotComingSoon.net www.Optimillennialism.com - also here
Sandra - Irvine So for me to be an optimist I must be a responsibalist — to respond to the ability god has given me—do I understand you?
sir william villafana - Irvine,Ca what's killing our birds and fish across this world?? maybe HAARP ? Chemtrails?	Dozens of birds found dead in Romanian city drank themselves to death | Mail Online Contains list of other examples. For info on HAARP, see HAARP.net - The Military's Pandora's Box by Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning Activist Post: The 10 Leading Theories For Dead Birds And Fish - "Conspiracy Theories" Updated timeline of mysterious animal deaths
Jim Means - WALNUT SHADE The flock of birds was caught in an updraft during the severe weather and transported up to 30 to 40,000 feet where they froze or died from lack of oxygen and fell to earth as the storm subsided. HAARP is responsible only if the storm can be linked to HAARP.	See the map in the "Romanian" article above. Cold is not the only factor. Why would HAARP affect only small numbers of one species in isolated local areas, rather than larger numbers of all species spread across the entire geographical reach of HAARP's signal? I think Jim is correct.
Lynn - Ozark The media is now claiming, that mass animal die offs are a "normal" occurrence, and have even stated they happen, on average "every other day in North America." I believe they forgot to add, since 12/31/2010. In one such article, they were only able to provide 6 examples over an 8 month period, at least one example of which can be directly related to the BP eruption. I agree with the previous caller, that the main stream media is withholding the truth, which likely does involve the gov't program HAARP, and possibly chemtrail - both matters the media seems to have a block-out on.	I admit I really haven't done any research on this issue, but I try to hesitate to conclude that there is a "media blackout" just because I don't have the facts.
Pat - Ozark The gun ban in Europe resulted in a 40% increase in firearms crime. Historically speaking, gun bans result in law abiding citizens being unarmed, and ONLY the criminals being armed. It has also been a precursor to socialism, Marxism/Communism.	See our gun page for other statistical correlations between gun bans and crime, as well as gun bans and government genocide.
Lynn - Christian County Media coverage of the Tucson shooting has been VERY odd. The judge was simply referred to as a "federal judge" for quite some time (nameless.) The focus immediately went to Ms. Gifford, and from that to the 9 year old girl that was killed. Very little attention was directed at the KILLING of a federal judge, which causes me to question what cases he was working. Ron Paul has stated Judge Roll was about to rule an Executive Order Obama had signed as unconstitutional (federal gov't being able to confiscate personal assets and 401K's) Where is the media coverage?	Was the judge the REAL target? | Ron Paul 2012 | Campaign for Liberty at the Daily Paul I'm not sure this is actually Ron Paul writing the blog post. The 401k seizure idea goes back to Oct of 2008, at least. Will Obama Seize Americans' 401k and IRA Funds? → Washington's Blog. Mentioned on DailyPaul in Feb 2010 Proposed Government 401k Grab « The Greenroom It's all good! Party on like there's no tomorrow My research is turning up lots of false leads. That's a bad sign. Executive Orders that have nothing to do with 401k's, etc. I remain skeptical about this theory.
william - irvine can you talk about the georgia guidestones ?	Nope. Never heard of them. A google search suggested this: The Georgia Guidestones. What do you think about them?
cariie miller - st louis mo are you that unamerician that you want to change constition letst change the free speech that you hide behine youre just un speakable in your ideas	Every single person who signed the Constitution would agree that the Constitution should be repealed and the government it created should be abolished. If that isn't obvious to you, then you're a victim of educational malpractice, and you're just not a very good American.
carrie miller - st louis mo are you un educated or just stupid	If you would like to become an extraordinary American, enroll in GeorgeWashingtonCoaching.
Jim - WALNUT SHADE The invisible hand seems to have given us a situation where nearly all new business development is based on the distribution and sale of goods produced on foreign soil. It will be a while before we need any new construction as the nation is full of empty residential and commercial buildings. Where is the hope for near term employment increase?	Free Trade: Globalization: The Long-Run Big Picture - George Reisman
Lynn - Ozark pretty clear to me the passport change is for the homosexual adoptions they have been pushing.	"Hello Parent One? This is Child Two." State Dept. Changes Passport Forms
Jim - WALNUT SHADE Asking for parent one and parent two on the passport application must make the children in single parent households feel inadequate. The question needs to be eliminated and the information, if necessary, can be taken from the applicant's birth certificate that must be sent with the application.	Abolish Passports Abolish Borders: Globalization: The Long-Run Big Picture - George Reisman
Hi kevin, 'May God richly bless you for your faithful work in politics IN JESUS NAME.AMEN. In fact i've been a student to your philosophy for some weeks now and it's great.You've really inspired me to enter voluntary into politics for the good of my nation to champion the ideal of liberty under God.Thank you very much and lastly all i can say is continue to be strong, immovable always abounding in the works of God knowing that your labour will not be in vain, for the people of the world have become spiritually bankrupt they've move away from the principles christianity which creats civilisation to the principles paganism.	1 Corinthians 15:58
Carol - California GATES What is the significance of the gates in eg. Prov. 31:23 and 31. Is the idea here something that would be a goal of FAMILY homeschooling. Should FATHERS aspire to be known in the gates. Should Fathers and Mothers be teaching their SONS to be known in the gates? In this sense, is it constructive to understand further what it means to be KNOWN IN THE GATES?	"Gates" Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Education is a matter of time. Gary North: Social Overhead Capital -- Intensive Service
George Meyers - Racine, WI I have printout of an email from you with links regarding the 14th Amendment. I can't find those links on this website. Can you help direct me to them?	14th Amendment | more
Jim - Walnut Shade Jesus was able to pay his taxes with money he did not earn. How can we do that?	This might be an argument against paying taxes. If so, it's not air-tight. The New Testament clearly tells us to pay our taxes, as in Romans 13. The Bible suggests that if we put away violence God will bless us with economic prosperity -- more than enough to pay taxes -- and as we put away violence, people come to disapprove of taxation, which is, after all, an act of violence.
Lynn - Ozark The federally elected officials are CLEARLY not representing the people, or the best interest of this nation. SO - how do we pursue charges of treason?	Elected officials routinely violate their oath of office. But elected officials are the ones who are in charge of the legal system which might convict someone of treason, so they never will. Americans must stop turning to government for help, and become independent of the government.
Jim - Walnut Shade That sounds like the mullah's stance that Jesus or an imam is coming back to unite the world under Shari'a and bring eternal peace to a Muslim world.	The Bible does not teach that Jesus is "coming again soon." But the Bible does teach that Jesus came at the first Christmas to create a "New World Order." Atheists, Christians, and Muslims all agree on the necessity for a world order. Islam is an imitation of Christianity. True Christianity does not teach that Christ will bring peace at a future coming, but that already is the Prince of Peace, and that Christians are priests and kings who should implement His Reign in the world today. The "United Nations" is the secular equivalent of the Christian and Islamic ideal of world order. The true Christian conception of world order is not a global police state, or a global priest-state, but global Anarcho-Theocracy.
Carol - ORANGE, CA Kevin -- Could you discuss what Romans 13 means when it says that rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. This in the light of what you have said about the evil of governments.	www.Romans13.com God "ordains" and "sanctifies" EVIL dictators and tyrants "for our good."
Lynn - Ozark The US is the ONLY nation to EVER have used a nuclear bomb in an act of aggression. How is it that the US claims to have authority to tell OTHER nations they can not have nuclear weapons? Other nations should be demanding the US not have nuclear weapons!!!	Yes, other nations should -- and are -- critical of the U.S. threat to peace. I defend hypocrisy. A person who routinely steals from the office should still say something if he sees a kids sticking a candy bar into his pocket at the store. Rather than silencing hypocrites when they speak the truth, we should encourage them to practice what they preach. Hiroshima, August 6, 1945 Hiroshima - Gulf of Tonkin
Jim - Walnut Shade Islam is ready to kill every infidel. If we do not resist, how will Christianity survive?	"Resist the devil." But by evangelism and service, not by violence. The idea of America as a City upon a Hill is not one of a global empire, but of a missionary nation, setting an example.
Jim - Walnut Shade The Holy Roman Empire made Rome the capitol of the Christian world. After Constantine they thought they were a Christian nation.	Defending Constantine: The Twilight of an Empire and the Dawn of Christendom "Theocracy" and "globalism" are inescapable concepts. Every government is a "theocracy." Every government is the forcible legislation of somebody's morality. The source of that morality is the "god" of the society. In a Secular Humanist theocracy, every man is his own god, but the State or Party claims to embody the "general will." Every theocracy seek global dominion. Obviously atheistic communism sought international hegemony. So does the atheistic "New World Order" of the Bush-Obama regime. If Christians do not seek a global theocracy, they will be brought under tribute to the theocracy of another religion. A truly Christian Theocracy is an "Anarcho-Theocracy."
Carol in California: Everybody: Read Ezekiel 33. What do you think about the call to be a WATCHMAN? In what context did this call come? What were the main subjects being discussed in those chapters? What activities and practices and persons were being condemned? Does this OT call apply to our lives, culture, churches, government,etc.? Does this Watchman idea relate to your campaign of LIBERTY UNDER GOD? How? What are crucial lessons here?	Ezekiel 33 - NKJV The "watchman" was to "warn the wicked of his way to turn from it" (v. 9), not just to say, "the sword is coming!" and encourage pre-emptive military strikes or "survivalism." Ezekiel 33 - Matthew Henry's Commentary the passage is not just concerned with "personal piety." God Sends Evil! - Why Calvinists are Anarchists
A very disapointed citizen - Jamestown,NY Are you a joke? Really?! Your trying to discriminate against and entire nation of people such a homosexuals i hope you know the thing you're saying a litrally brining thousands of people to tears and mabey most of the united states of american is apart of the christian community there are others out there	Discrimination Homosexuality In the News
No Name, No City You are obviously NOT an anarchist...or are you confused?	I am not an "archist." Just Another Name for Anarchism?
Nicole Trujillo - Clever what relationship do you see America having with Israel?	It depends on how you define "America." The federal government of the United States should have no relationship with Israel other than necessary treaties which the Constitution authorizes. No foreign aid to Israel from the federal government (and no foreign aid to anti-Israeli Muslim nations either). In short, "no entangling alliances." Israel: Is the State God?

Voter - Branson Kevin, I agree with many of the stances on your website. However, I cannot find much information about you as a person. Can you please tell us about yourself? Also, according to your position for fewer taxes and less spending, Congressmen would have to be willing to sacrifice tax-rendered compensation for the public good. Can you convince us that your own personal financial situation would not create a conflict of interest when it came to choosing between the public's needs and your own needs?	1. Some personal info is found here at the bottom of the page. 2. A whole lot more is here. 3. More important than who I am, is who I strive to be. See here. 4. My personal financial situation is living in poverty. If elected, I would stage "money bombs" and other programs to raise money to make sure that -- just as environmentalists worry about "carbon footprints" -- I would not leave a "taxpayer footprint" in my wake. In other words, as much as possible, I would not compel taxpayers to pay for my presence in Washington D.C. This means following Ron Paul's practice of returning the bulk of the allocated money for Congressional Staff. It doesn't take a large staff to follow the Constitution, only to meet and deal with lobbyists. There will be none of that in my office. I have formed a non-profit organization to do the work of spreading the vision of "Vine & Fig Tree," and I would work through that organization to accomplish my goals, and not use extortion to raise money from taxpayers.
Real American - OFallon You are not a Real American if you do not vote for Kevin Craig on November 2, 2010 I am American and I will not vote for you. Gongratulation, You Lost!	Drive-by vandalism. Votes are not the big issue in this campaign. Spreading the idea of "Liberty Under God" is what this campaign is all about. Changing hearts and minds is what this campaign is all about. To that extent, I have already "won." The 2012 campaign will begin on November 3, 2010.
what is your stand on home schooling?	Personally, I'm for it. If I were a Congressman, I would recognize that the Constitution gives the federal government zero authority over homeschooling.
where do you stand on home birth and midwives?	Same response as above. I don't have a webpage on midwifery.
My question is what is your stance on Abortion?	Abortion is murder. This page is not indexed on Google. The next two pages are. There is no way that this could be a random result of Google's search algorithms. This page was consciously removed. Controlling Abortion Congressman Ron Paul on Abortion The 14th Amendment

Kevin Craig's Platform:

• Feature:
  • Taxation
  • Jobs
  • Free Market Economics
• "Vine & Fig Tree" - the original American Dream - work, profit, save, invest, enjoy, pass on to next generation.
• Not "easy to borrow," perpetual debt;
• Education -- so the next generation can understand what America's Founders fought and died for. No government promotion of schools (rather than homeschooling) or colleges (rather than alternatives).
• Energy -- the key to a rising standard of living, the current chain to the Middle East
• Not "invade other nations" to secure our own wealth.
• Not trust in standing armies for our "national security."
  • Beat "swords into plowshares"
  • Evangelize the heathen
  • have "a "firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence."
• Taxes take over half of everything we earn during our lifetime.
• Social Security is an unethical ponzi scheme which prevents one generation from passing on a nice nest egg to the next.
• Every American could be born with a comfortable inheritance for education, a first home, or medical care; instead, every American is born in great debt.
• Washington D.C. central planning increases debt, does not create the "Vine & Fig Tree" life.
• No more inflation, no more paper money.
• No more wasteful government spending. (Or do I repeat myself?)
• Limit government to the size prescribed by the Constitution:
  • enumerated powers only
  • "General Welfare" clause no exception

What Would America's Founding Fathers Do?

The men who threw tea into the Boston Harbor over a tax of 3 pence per pound would not be happy with a tax ten times greater on every gallon of gas. Those who took up muskets over a total tax burden of less than 3% would not be happy with the fact that the federal government now takes more than half of everything you earn.

Today it is illegal for public school teachers to teach their students that the Declaration of Independence is really true (and not just an outdated historical document). The federal government is clearly at war with everything the Founding Fathers stood for.

America's greatest Americans would abolish today's federal government.

Muskets are Not an Option

There are two reasons why we should not take up arms to pull off the violent overthrow of the federal government, even if America's Founders would surely do so. First, the feds have nukes. Second, violent revolution is unChristian and unBiblical. We must beat our swords into plowshares and use persuasion to abolish tyranny. This is time for a revolution of ideas.

Revolution Won't Come in a Day

John Adams once wrote that the American Revolution began in 1761, when Massachusetts attorney James Otis began legal challenges to the Writs of Assistance. He lost the case, but "American independence," Adams wrote, "was then and there born." Now do the math. That means it took 15 years to convince the rest of America to declare Independence (1776). Then another seven years of war was required before a Peace Treaty was signed (1783), and then six years before the Constitution was finally ratified (1789). That's almost 30 years. (And Jefferson said we shouldn't go 20 years without another rebellion!) How can we hope to convince Americans to fight for principles they were never taught in government schools? We need to be in this battle for the long term. "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty."

Yet virtually every day that Congress is in session these same oath-takers become law-breakers -- passing laws and expending funds on items that are not Constitutionally permissible. Background page.

Help End the Mexican Civil War Black-market profits caused by drug prohibition fund a civil war in Mexico that's threatening to spill over our borders.

Make Congress Read Their Bills Before Voting Make Congress read every word of every bill they create before they vote on it. Urge your Representative and your Senators to sponsor DownsizeDC.org's “Read the Bills Act” (RTBA).

End the FED The Federal Reserve System constantly inflates and deflates the supply of money and credit, causing booms and busts. It's time to get off this roller-coaster. It's time to end the Fed.

No Bailouts! No government money, whether borrowed or taxed, should ever be used to bailout private financial interests. If you agree, please send Congress a message telling them so.

TWIC - A Backdoor Real ID Card Real ID is dying. But the Department of Homeland Security has a new plan to subject every American to a national ID card anyway. They plan to pick off one occupational field at a time, starting with the maritime industry. One man is fighting back. Meet him, and help stop this backdoor Real ID plan.

Repeal the campaign finance laws Campaign finance laws are really incumbent protection laws. They make it almost impossible for challengers to raise competitive funding, while doing almost nothing to control the true causes of government corruption. We were told that the campaign finance laws—the contribution limits and the reporting requirements—would curtail or even prevent corruption. Now, with 40 years of experience, we know that they do the exact opposite.

End Asset Forfeiture If the government suspects you used your house or car in a crime, they can take it and sell it at auction. They don't even have to prove your guilt. They call this practice civil asset forfeiture, but it's really theft. It violates the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 14th Amendments. It also encourages law enforcement to put profits before justice. Tell Congress to end civil asset forfeiture.

Cap-and-trade is not the way to control carbon emissions. Even if you accept that human CO2 emissions are causing problematic global warming, a government run "cap and trade" system is not the way to deal with this problem. • An increase in your electricity and gasoline bills • New tools for politicians to control the economy, hand out favors, and punish enemies • Almost no improvement in reducing overall CO-2 emissions (if the example of Europe is a reliable guide) Learn more »

Restore consumer controlled health care The politicians tell us free market health care doesn't work, but we haven't had a free market in decades. • Starting with depression era wage and price controls, and continuing with government tax policies, the politicians have made Americans dependent on their jobs to get health insurance. • The government already pays for nearly half of all health care. This means we're half-socialized already  Learn more »

Stop the War for Terror U.S. policy has inflamed the Middle East. It has made terrorism more likely rather than less. We seem to be fighting a war for terror, rather than on terror. This policy must stop. The place to start stopping is with Iran. We must not attack Iran. War with Iran would devastate our economy, disrupt world oil supplies, and recruit more terrorists. Click here to stop this war before it starts.

Preserve the Freedom to Farm Crops grow in dirt. Animals don't take showers or use toilets. Food is made from yucky stuff. This means there's always a risk of contamination. We can reduce this risk, but not eliminate it. Attempts to make everything perfectly safe are Utopian fantasies that carry a high price in increased costs, reduced variety, diminished supply, and . . . increased risk. The free market already provides you with multiple ways to balance risks and costs. Learn more »
