We need Freedom from Big Government, Big Government is in violation of Our Constitution According to our Founding Fathers. Please take the time to read what they are saying to us!

"To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and
liberty, or profusion and servitude. .I place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest
of the dangers to be feared". – President Thomas Jefferson
"The 4 principal reasons why a federal government was formed: "(1) The common defense (national security); (2) the
preservation of public peace, as well against internal convulsions as external attacks; (3) the regulation of commerce with other
nations and between states; (4) the superintendent of our intercourse, political and commercial, with foreign countries (foreign
affairs)." - Alexander Hamilton
My Note: if you read what Our Founding Fathers are saying to us, You will Have to Agree that the Nation's Founders never intended the Federal
Government to be involved in Social Issues concerning Citizens, Including, but Certainly Not Limited to: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Any Kind of
Health & Welfare, Our Children's Education or other Education, Income Redistribution, Any Kind of Entitlement's, Unemployment Insurance or Any
Insurance, including Flood Insurance, and Not Farm Subsidies, Providing Housing, SIGNING documents entangling us with other Nations, such as the U. N.,
Private Banks issuing our money, etc., actually the list goes On and On. And the government seems to have their hands in all of these Un-Constitutionally!
Now, You would also have to Agree that Our Government as it is, Is In Violation of Our Constitution (The U.S. Constitution)! And Please consider who is
teaching Constitutional Law. I do hope you are aware that back in the 1990's books were replaced in Schools & School Libraries. Please continue Reading.
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them".
- Thomas Jefferson
"There is in the nature of government an impatience of control that disposes those invested with power to look with an evil eye upon all external attempts to restrain or
direct its operations. This has its origin in the love of power. Representatives of the people are not superior to the people themselves." - Alexander Hamilton

"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none". Thomas Jefferson
"America... well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence,
she would involve herself beyond the power of extraction, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition,
which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty
to force... She might become dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit."
- John Quincy Adams: Address, 4 July 1821 **
"No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is the people."
- Alexander Hamilton

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will
wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson - letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802).
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke 1729-1797

- John Quincy Adams, 6th President of USA
"...There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. ... Our destruction, should it come at all,will be from another quarter. From the
inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence
in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the
instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. – Benjamin Franklin
"On every question of construction (of The Constitution), let us carry ourselves back to the time when The Constitution was adopted, recollect

probable one in which it was passed." - Thomas Jefferson

one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated". – Thomas Jefferson
"If we were directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want for bread". – Thomas Jefferson
The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly
relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men
against their wills. – Thomas Jefferson
"I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely
distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all
foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war". – Thomas Jefferson (1823)
"I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man".– Thomas Jefferson (1800)

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when
wrong but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere".
– Thomas Jefferson (1743-1846), U.S. President, Letter to Abigail Adams, 22 February 1787
"I shall exert every faculty I possess in aiding to prevent the Constitution from being nullified, destroyed, or impaired; and even though I should see it fail, I will
still, with a voice feeble, perhaps, but earnest as ever issued from human lips, and with extinguish, call on the people to come to its rescue". – Daniel Webster

"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them.

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce.
