Competing Visions

American citizen, by your vote, YOU have the power to decide which of the of the two competing paths before us our country will take:

1. Do you want a top down government managed society, with an ever bigger and more powerful federal government, and ever weaker and more dependent citizen/subjects, with a weak, government dominated economy, high taxes, high unemployment, and high debt?

2.  Or, do you want to restore the free society established by our founding fathers through the Constitution, with limited government powers, a free, vibrant economy, and strong, free and independent citizens who remain protected by a community safety net, not a containment net?

The choice is now before you on Nov. 6. Not to choose is to choose.  Your country’s future depends on you.  Where do YOU stand?

The American Vision

“…a wise and frugal government…which shall leave them [the people] otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned…this is the sum of good government.”

President Thomas Jefferson

First Inaugural Address, 1801

“The founding fathers established a nation under God, ruled not by arbitrary decrees of kings or the whims of entrenched elites but by the consent of the governed.  Theirs was the vision of a striving, God-fearing, self reliant people living in the sunlight of justice and breathing the bracing air of liberty.”

“…. Almost all of the world’s constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are.  Our Constitution is a document in which “we the people” tell the government what it is allowed to do.  “We the people” are free.”

“Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.”

                                                                                                         President Ronald Reagan

The Liberal/Left Obamanation Vision

“…government, compassionate toward its subjects, provides for their security, forsees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, makes rules for their testaments, and divides their inheritances….”

“It does not break men’s will, but softens, bends and guides it; it seldom enjoins, but often inhibits action; it does not destroy anything, but prevents much being born; it is not at all tyrannical, but it hinders, restrains, enervates, stifles, and stultifies so much that in the end each nation is no more than a flock of timid and hardworking animals with government as its shepherd.”

                                                                             Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1840

“In 5 days we begin the fundamental transformation of America.”

Barak Obama, 5 days before 2008 election.
