ISSUE 37

ISSUE 38

CONCLUSION

A double dose of RR is appropriate here because President Trump's vision is similar.

It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people. All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government...

It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged...We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions...Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves....Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan
