Issue Position: Responsible, Limited Government

Issue Position

In the Republic which became the United States the government was designed to do the basic functions of a state and protect and defend the rights of its citizens. The key to this statement is "the basic functions' and not get involved in "every' function of the state and its citizens. The concept of limited government means serving the public's needs through "get out the way' policies and to provide a fair judicial system to adjudicate disputes. We need to strive for efficiency in what government does and the ability to know what government does not need to do.
