What We're About...

You've all read the Federalist Papers, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the Articles of Confederation. Those documents are sacred to me. I'm increasingly studying the words and actions of several of the Founding Fathers... just to make absolutely certain that I am not out-of-step with what they wanted.

Basically... what it boils down to... we're fighting corruption and tyranny in our own government.
Excessive taxation must end. Any taxation, whatsoever, should not be the sole decision of suits in DC. The People must decide for themselves. The government must not be allowed to fund their own over-spending, by further burdening The People, and those we elect must be called to account for their frivolity with our tax dollars.
The elected officials must also stop spending tax dollars on stupid things. Porkbarrel spending is at an all-time high... ear-marking is corruption, and over-taxing to pay for it is arguably tyrannical. Our money should not be sent to foreign countries, in a time of economic crisis, and printing more money is not a viable solution, as Obama seems to think.
Free speech is being infringed upon by this proposed "Fairness Doctrine", among a great many other things. It is blatant censorship. Political Correctness needs to wave good-bye, as well. Religious freedoms have been disappearing for years, now, and it's only getting worse.
Abortion must be abolished. So must gun control.
Crime needs to be punished more severely. Plea-bargaining must end, and we need to be less sparing with the Death Penalty.
Accountability is what we need. Politicians must be held accountable for what they do, and that is simply not happening.

Nobody is going to do this for us. We need to make it happen, ourselves.

More on this, later.
