Individual freedoms protected from government restrictions. Our constitution is based on the notion that governments serve individuals, and that where the two conflict, it is the individual that wins. Ultimately, these freedoms are the great equalizers in a nation where ideas and not heredity matter. And that nation is America. It is here that common people succeed with uncommon efforts, with uncommon investments, with uncommon innovations.
Individual freedoms are necessary tools for mere citizens.
With them, they have the opportunity to be as powerful as the greatest of royalty. Without them, they are like, people around the world, cursed into a hereditary birth order. In a nation in which ideas matter, the battles that rage in Washington matter. Through what I refer to as rational regulation. I am not categorically against all regulation.
