While never perfect, the formula of individual freedom with personal responsibility served our nation well for almost 200 years. Our Constitution embodies those principles making a blueprint for a rule of law that proscribes limited governmental powers and maximum freedom for the individual. Our politicians, in pursuit of utopian dreams, have all but abandoned the U.S. Constitution. In an effort to create an utopian security blanket, the U.S. Congress enacts thousands of laws each year. The federal bureaucracies take these laws and from them produce tens of thousands of regulations.
All crime is local.
Besides usurping the power of local authorities, this intrusion of the vast alphabet soup of federal police agencies is threatening the privacy, freedom and security of peaceful citizens in their homes and in public places. Some areas of our cities are beginning to resemble war zones. Most Americans no longer feel safe in their homes or on public streets. Many Americans are beginning to fear their government s activities more than that of criminals. We must stop asking Washington to solve all of our problems.
