America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad.

Millions of individuals making their own decisions in the marketplace will always allocate resources better than any centralized government planning process.

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty but leading or driving them out of it.

And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

Expanding the right to vote to foreigners not only diminishes the work of black Americans to have their vote counted, but it also gives the right to vote to people who have no stake in the future of our country.

One of the drawbacks of apportionment today is the large number of aliens in the country, particularly illegal aliens, who distort the representation that states have in the House because the Census Bureau includes them in the population count used to determine how many representatives each state should have. The growing alien population is unfairly and unjustly altering the political representation of the states in the House of Representatives, cheating citizens and devaluing their votes in favor of aliens who have no right to participate in governing this country.

The evidence of real and tangible voter fraud against vulnerable senior voters is growing.

If you are not a citizen and don’t pay taxes at all, you can come in anytime — stroll across the border — and you are allowed to stay, and receive welfare, education and health services.

We are now living in a world where liberal elites are no longer content with shaming adults who choose to have children. They are no longer content with indoctrinating our children.

While many insist that election fraud is non-existent, ACRU and ACRU Action have been tracking and fighting election fraud for many years.

ACRU is known for its Election Integrity Bulletin that is sent regularly to legislators, legislative staff, and election officials.

Trust the science, we’ve all been told. Well, the science has spoken again: Voter ID laws aren’t discriminatory and don’t suppress anyone’s vote. Voter security benefits both parties and all Americans.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

The prudent capitalist will never adventure his capital… if there exists a state of uncertainty as to whether the Government will repeal tomorrow what it has enacted today.

Viewpoint censorship threatens to destroy the country as it was intended to be—a beacon of freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. The First Amendment protects citizens from the government controlling speech, and the principle of free speech permeates our founding principles.

If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.

For too long, conservatives have blindly supported corporations. While trying to support “free markets” we might inadvertently be supporting corporatism, a form of economic totalitarianism where government and corporations collude to destroy individual rights.

And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time?

Corporations may think they are free to censor speech because the First Amendment was written to constrain government, but when they conspire and collude with the government to censor, they have crossed the line and leave themselves open to litigation that could destroy their companies.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! – I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government.

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.

Millions of individuals making their own decisions in the marketplace will always allocate resources better than any centralized government planning process.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Maintaining electoral continuity is important to protecting voting integrity. If the rules of the game change at the last minute — especially in a way that even seems to benefit one political party over its opposition — democracy itself is cheapened and delegitimized.

It is bad enough when companies lobby to get public policy favors from politicians to crush their rivals, but when the private sector colludes with the government to limit the freedoms of individual Americans it is time to fight back with every legal method we can find.

I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence.

Liberal elites around the world are marching to the same drumbeat of intentionally attacking our parental rights. They understand all that stands in the way of getting to children is their parents.

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.

The liberal rule seems to be “Guns for me, but not for thee.” Milwaukee City Council members who voted to defund police, quickly got private security for themselves.

The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.

A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn’t own.

The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates.

The world’s biggest problem is the unequal distribution of capitalism. If there were capitalism everywhere, you wouldn’t have food shortages.

[My uncle] fought to ensure that every single American had the right to vote freely [but] many of those voters are nursing home residents who are often targeted by those who
would steal or suppress their votes.
