Freedom

Americans like to believe we live in a free country because we fought a revolution for freedom 228 years ago. We aren't really a free country but we should vote Freedom First.

1. A vote for the right to own guns is a vote for freedom. This country would never have been free without people owning guns and even now, a gun is your best defense of your own family.

2. A vote for lower taxes is a vote for freedom. The US collects far too much in taxes which are then spent on unconstitutional programs. Only 50% of the population pays income tax; but, 95% of the people pay too much in taxes. There is no such thing as a bad tax cut. Taxes should be lower, fairer, and more predictable.

3. A vote for less government control is a vote for freedom. The US government should be forced to live within the constitutional limits. But since most people have never read the constitution they don't even know what the limits are supposed to be. Government can not do anything well, so our constitution was created so the federal government only did the very few things no one else could do. They were given so little to do that they couldn't mess it up too bad.

These three things explain why I am not voting for George W. Let's grade him on these three 1. C He has not allowed any new horrendous gun laws, but he hasn't helped any either. He promised to sign a bill continuing the ban on Dangerous Looking Guns. 2. B+ His tax cuts were good and he fought hard for them, but they weren't really big enough he hasn't controlled spending at all. 3. F GW used 9/11 as an excuse to grow government while failing to do the things that would really help, like secure our borders.

Michael Peroutka of the Constitution Party is my choice for President. He won't even be on the ballot in Texas, but he is a certified write in candidate. But; to be taken seriously, the Constitution Party has to getting serious about getting their message our between elections. They are saying the right things, but are sort of weak on action.

Freedom is the right to make wrong decisions
