Well Done Commissioners

Friday, January 28, 2011

Well done commissioners!

We wish to congratulate our commissioners on voting down the expensive meeting "voting" machine.

This piece of equipment was being considered for the commission's meetings.  It recorded the votes by

pushing buttons.By not "pushing the button", the commission did not spend around $17,000 of our families'

money.

Our Purpose

We promote efforts to return  Constitutional values to Government, especially including a recognition and respect for state sovereignty.  We call for fiscal conservatism in both government expenditures and taxation levied against the fruits of citizens' labor.  We will make every effort to promote honest, open government while limiting governmental powers not constitutionally vested. We promote a culture of personal responsibility and individual liberty.  We promote educating the public on important current political events affecting the general populace on the local, state and national levels.  We aim to encourage, seek and assist the efforts of honest and conservative minded individuals (who also believe in consitutional individual rights) to be elected to office of all levels of government.

Our Beliefs

We believe the United States Constitution is the greatest governmental document ever written.  Within this document, lies the the United States government's structural framework, establishing govermnetal powers and ensuring individuals rights under it s establishment.  Furthermore, government should be always limited, in every regard, while being a necessary institution. Limited powers are promoted by open and honest government coupled with the respect of the Bill of Rights.
The forceful taking of resources from one to pass to another is not charity regardless of the reasoning or form.  Moreover, we are concerned with the removal or the limiting of an individual's constitutional rights and the burdens placed upon individuals by our government(s) which it is to serve.  Liberty and freedom is best preserved when accountability is enacted by the people in which public servants serve.
