Issue Position: Less Government

Issue Position

"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." Thomas Jefferson

We have got to stop spending our children's future. We need to make government more efficient, cut back on the hand-outs, and scale back growth. The balanced budget law helps but there is more work to be done.

"I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such: because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no Form of Government but what may be a Blessing to the People if well-administered; and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other." Benjamin Franklin

"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of Constitutional power." Thomas Jefferson

We can get our country back, but we must educate ourselves and our fellow citizens and support those candidates, such as myself, that believe in the principals our country was founded on.
