"A government of the people, for the people, by the People
"
Abraham Lincoln
We believe that the control of government should be in the peoples hands. Local control of local issues is the only solution in attempting to create an effective governing body. We, the citizens of Buchanan county, know better how to allocate funds than a bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
"The execution of the laws is more important than the making of them."
Thomas Jefferson
We believe that a society should enforce the laws it has before looking to new legislation to solve an evil in society. The solution to such evils as racially motivated crimes and school shootings is not hate crime legislation or the abolishment of the second amendment, but rather the full support of our law enforcement agencies to enforce the current laws on books, and the support of our legal system to do its duty.
"Someone must stand up to those who say, heres the key, theres the treasury, just take as many of those hard earned tax dollars as you want."
Ronald Reagan
We believe that over taxation of the people is unjust. We stand not only for lower taxes, but also for accountability of our tax dollars at every level of government. Our money must be taken sparsely and spent frugally.
"
.so that no child is left behind."
George W. Bush
The education of our children is the key to our future. All too often, the goal of giving our children the best education possible is lost in the bureaucracy that drives the system. We stand for accountability at all levels, so that we can ensure our children get the best.
"When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned."
Herbert Hoover
We support only those elected officials who represent us in a honest and moral fashion. Our government is often riddled with dishonest people, whom by their actions, corrupt the very heart of this nation. Character is always an issue.
"Be as committed to military men and women as military men and women are committed to our country."
Lamar Alexander
The purpose of national defense system is ever changing, perhaps more in this era than any other. The needs of our military personnel has not changed. They need the best we can offer them. We must support them the way they support us.
