How the Two Major Parties Differ from
the American Vision of "Liberty Under God":
- The Constitution:
-
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
- 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.
- 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.

|
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.
|
|
- 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? |

- The Angel Gabriel announces the conception of the Messiah, who will be given the throne of
David.
|

"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

- "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.

Questions from previous Town Halls: |
Robert Kirk - USA
If you want to live in a theocracy, why don't you move to Iran or some similar country. You have
no place in this country when you try to impose your religion on the rest of us. |
- Thanks for visiting and paying enough attention to notice that I use the word
"Theocracy."
- • I don't want to move to Iran because I want to live in a Christian
Theocracy like America, not a Muslim theocracy.
- • I am not an archist, that is, someone who is willing to "impose"
his will on others by initiating force or threatening violence
against those I cannot persuade.
- • Do those who believe in the
religion of Secular Humanism have a place in the U.S. to make all laws conform to their secular
religion? They have done this.
- • Every "law" is the
imposition of someone's religion.
- • The word "Theocracy" literally means "God rules,"
or looked at from the other direction, a nation "under
God."
- • If I try to pass a law requiring public schools to teach
students that the Declaration of Independence is really true, people like
you will accuse me of trying to "impose a theocracy" on the U.S. That assures me
that every single person who signed the U.S. Constitution would agree with me that we ought
to make America a libertarian "Christian Theocracy." They did.

Debt, debt, debt----No one takes the Law of God seriously, so we are drowning in DEBT. Proverbs
22:7--The borrower is the servant (slave) of the lender. IMHO in this verse is a succinct
summation of our whole problem. Among the many verses that speak against debt living, these two in
the NT speak especially strongly against this practice of living on our home loans and credit and
debit cards---I Cor. 6:10---For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body
and in your spirit; and I Cor. 7:23--You are bought with a price; be not the servants of men. Are
we Christians? Do we read the WORD OF GOD, folks?? We are literally sinking, second by second into
a sea of a quadrillion dollars of bad debts. You say, "I never borrowed anything like that
amount of money." Ah, dear citizen and dear Christian, you live on credit and thereby you
gave the lender your precious ownership rights, which God says plainly belong to Him! God will not
be mocked. We are in serious trouble. Repent, dear Christian! |
What About Borrowing?
Our paper seems to have been quoted here:

Tony - Goldsboro, NC
Is there ever an acceptable time to take out a loan and go into debt? |
In addition to the conclusions above, keep in mind

The only benefit I see from our Libyan adventure is a boost to our arms industry which has been

Forbes quote of the day yesterday: "There is no doubt that the real destroyer of the
liberties of any people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and largess." If
Plutarch could see it in ancient Greece, politicians must recognize it today and do not care about
our liberties. |
Liberty is destroyed if these gifts are taken by force, and liberty is destroyed when the
recipient becomes dependent upon the redistributor of stolen wealth. |
Jim Means - Branson, MO
A republican senator from Wisconsin writing in the Wall Street Journal this week claimed that we
have the best health care system in the world, that the death rate from prostate cancer is 608%
higher in Great Britain, a blatant misstatement of the facts. Britain's death rate from prostate
cancer is actually lower than ours. We need to find policies that can make our health care system
open to free market solutions that will provide a better solution than national health care run by
the government or the insane system we have now. |
All the evidence I've seen indicates that under British, Canadian, and other socialist healthcare
systems, people are not allowed to seek testing/diagnosis or treatment earlier than the government
rationing system allows, and that more die as a result. If I could find a link to the source that
claims there are more deaths in the U.S., I would interact with it.

The life expectancy in Afghanistan is 36 years one of the lowest in the world. We are contributing
to the low life expectancy as we continue to kill Afghans. |
Life expectancy is higher in Christian nations. Violence is lower, health is higher.
Edge: A HISTORY OF
VIOLENCE By Steven Pinker
Debunks the idea that humans are peaceable by nature and corrupted by modern institutions.
Pinker doesn't say it, but humans by nature want to be their own god, and this violent tendency
needs to be restrained by institutions created by the Gospel: family, school, employment, charity,
etc.

Jim Means - Branson, MO
The Muslim says: I worship the God of Abraham. I never miss any of my five daily prayers. My lips
never touch alcohol. I am faithful to my four wives. I have memorized the holy Quran. A so-called
Christian who seldom goes to church, tolerates alcohol consumption, has sex outside of marriage,
knows no more than a few verses of his scriptures, and worships the fraudulent son of our god who
is complete within himself and needs no sons or holy ghosts to carry out his will dares to call
mine a "false" religion? |
Many muslims are more dedicated than many who call themselves Christians, no doubt. A true
Christian and a true American is an "extremist."
The last portion of this comments sounds like unitarianism. The
Bible teaches Trinitarianism.
The "Supreme Judge of the World" mentioned in the Declaration
of Independence is Jesus Christ, according
to the Jefferson Bible. If Jesus really said these things (as Jefferson apparently believes He
did) then he was insane if He is not really God. He was nuts to allow the Jews to crucify Him for
claiming to be God if He was not really God. Taken as a whole, the Bible claims that Jesus was
Divine, as well as the Holy Spirit.
This belief has been the foundation of liberty in the Western World.
America's Founders -- even John Adams,
sometimes called a "unitarian" -- endorsed and promoted
Trinitarianism, as part of America's True Religion.

Eliminate all those departments and add thousands to the unemployment lines. This is not going to
help our Libertarian image in the eyes of the general public as uncaring, selfish individuals. |
(1) USPS employees will be employed by FedEx, UPS,
etc.
(2) Government waste can be invested in new jobs and increased productivity.
(3) This increased productivity = lower prices and a higher standard of living, even if postal
employees have leaner, more competitive wages than they had in government.
It is selfish of government employees to use force to protect their uncompetitive job. They
advance their own short-term interests at the expense of others and even at the expense of their
own long-term prosperity and that of their children. |
Allow the USPS, a separate corporation not a government
department to close unnecessary post offices, limit hours and otherwise streamline their services
and UPS, FedEx and other private services would have a hard time competing. |
Correct. It's hard to compete with a government
agency that gets to cut services and still charge the same amount. Competitive business in the
Free Market can't get away with that. |
Parkinson's
Law is at work in large corporations as well as government bureaus. At least the corporations
can scale back in tough times. That has produced our current high unemployment and slow recovery
as the corporations enjoy higher profits and their unnecessary employees take our taxes in
unemployment benefits |
"scaling back" is a very good thing;
exactly what needs to take place. Government has been printing up new money and giving it to
special-interest businesses, which percolates throughout the economy, creating an artificial
"boom." All these false investments need to be liquidated, as they do not reflect real
consumer preferences. Government-created employment needs to be replaced with high unemployment,
followed by consumer-created employment. |

The CIA claims ten percent of Egyptians are Christian, 10% of
them, Coptic. |
|
Christians were underground in a hostile nation until the
conversion of the emperor Constantine.
Then with government and the church in partnership, political power corrupted the church. |
See more on Constantine below |
I'm talking the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church and
its eventual domination by demonic forces |
Actually, the demonic domination of churches -- like
the Church in Rome, the Church in Ephesus, the Church in Corinth, etc., -- is not
as great today as it was in the
last days of the Old Covenant. |

william of irvine - irvine california
kevin, as the bible is our main book, what other books would you recommend to read for spiritual,
political and health issues? |
See the Reading chart above |
|
I'd like to add a bit to last week's answer. I believe the most pressing priority
is not reading other books "for spiritual, political and health issues," but to build
the foundation.
Ecclesiastes
12:12
And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much
study is wearisome to the flesh.
The majority of our time needs to be on the foundations, including volunteer work
mentoring those who did not or do not have families that reliably build foundations:
Deuteronomy
6:6-13
7 and thou shalt teach them
diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house and when
thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.
10"And it shall be, when the LORD
thy God shall have brought thee into the land which He swore
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities which
thou built not,
11and houses full of all good things which
thou filled not, and wells dug which thou dug not, vineyards and olive trees which thou planted
not, when thou shalt have eaten and be full,
12then beware lest thou forget the LORD
who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house
of bondage.
This is exactly where we are today. Because the foundations have been
ripped out of public schools, we have forgotten God, and are ready to
be dropped in the lap of a new Pharaoh.
The next verse is interesting, because it seems like a change of subject, but it's
not really:
13Thou
shalt fear the LORD thy God,
and serve Him, and shalt swear by His name.
Our politicians do not take their oaths in the name of God, and they break them.
Oaths are a reflection of foundations, of worldview. We should avoid
getting lost in detail, and missing the big picture.

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.

The Holy Roman Empire made Rome the capitol of the Christian world. After Constantine

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."

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

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."

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.

Kevin Craig's Platform:
- Feature:
- "Vine & Fig Tree" -
the original American Dream - work, profit, save, invest, enjoy, pass on to next generation.
- Not "easy to borrow," perpetual debt;
- Limit government to the size prescribed by the Constitution:
- 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 apprenticeship or online 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."
- 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?)
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."

Who are the Big Enemies? What are the Big Issues?
Martin Luther said:
- If I profess with the loudest voice and
clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the
world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may
be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be
steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.

The
"Enumerated Powers Act" (EPA)
Each member, upon the start of his term of office, takes an oath,
promising to protect and uphold the Constitution. 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

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. Drug profits also fuel the terrorists who are killing U.S. soldiers in
Afghanistan. It's time to dry up the black-market profits. It's time to end drug prohibition.

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

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

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.
