About me

Location	Oklahoma, United States
Introduction	These are precarious times. In 2008, it is estimated that one third of GDP will be spent by government at all levels. To add insult to injury, a government-induced crisis is getting a government-“insured” resolution. This site is one father's attempt to motivate others to resist the path toward socialism in this country. To paraphrase one of my favorite presidents, government rarely solves problems but it often creates and then subsidizes them. Government must be limited in its power and responsibility. In recent decades our government has become more intrusive, and as a result individual liberties have been compromised. Outside Independence Hall, when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Ben Franklin was asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it." America has been a beacon of liberty, hope and prosperity for our citizens and the world for over 230 years. We must become a more engaged and enlightened republic in order that we may protect and preserve the foundations of this great nation for ourselves, our sons and daughters, and future generations.
