I am fed up with the political process as it now exists. Unless we make some serious changes very soon my two year old will grow up only knowing of "the land of the freeloaders instead of the land of the free."
I have strong Pro-life, Christian Conservative values which is a good part of the Republican platform. Our country's founders were considered rebels. Read some of their quotes and see if you agree with them that it is now time for a new bunch of rebels to take back our country. I will not play the politics as usual game. I am a small businessman and want to stop an overbearing government so I can continue with my chosen career.
"The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government"
Thomas Paine
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
Samuel Adams
"If the people who make the decisions are the people who will also bear the consquences of those decisions, perhaps better decisions will result."
John Adams
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence-it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master."
George Washington
"It is hardly to strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster
"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: ...or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow."
James Madison 1788
"Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."
James Madison
"My reading of history convices me that most bad government results from too much government."
Thomas Jefferson
"A government that does not trust its law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is itself unworthy of trust.:
James Madison
"I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed... that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."
Benjamin Franklin
