Issue Position: Freedom

Issue Position

When asked what kind of government the Constitutional Convention has devised, Benjamin Franklin reportedly answered, "A republic-if you can keep it". To keep our freedom intact, it is essential that Americans understand and preserve the underlying principles of freedom. However, this understanding is jeopardized on many fronts. Students in our high schools and colleges show a deplorable ignorance of the most basic facts of America's founding. Our elected leaders in Washington routinely support legislation that overreaches constitutional limits on government. Judges in our courts of law, especially justices of the U.S Supreme Court, have increasingly substituted their personal moral views for constitutional principles.
