Our members cannot be defined by simple
labels, but there are certainly groups within our group. Most of us are “small
government: fiscal conservatives, who realize that government needs to spend
less, get out of debt, shrink its footprint and get out of businesses that can
be done by the private sector. We want to accomplish this by electing
Constitutional conservative politicians, who will take actions to accomplish 10th
Amendment compliance.
Family Oriented Constitutional Conservatives
We believe that family is the basic economic
entity. That entity certainly includes
your spouse and your children as a family unit. We would not tax inheritance.
Family members are the only ones who can
properly confront bad or dangerous behavior to warn immediate family members of
the dangers and consequences surrounding their bad choices.
We also include your grandchildren, your
parents, your brothers and sisters and could expect that family members could
help support each other in times of need within their means to do so, without
jeopardizing family unit finances or time.
God-loving Constitutional Conservatives
When given the choice between church and
state, we will take church. We believe that each person in the family has free
will, given by God. If their choices
have bad consequences, they are “in training” and God is in charge,
Helping friends, neighbors and others in need
is called for based on proximity and circumstance. If we see someone fall off a ladder, we need
to ensure that they are ok and get help if needed and their family is not
around to do so. Close neighbors without
family nearby require special attention by other neighbors.
Charity requires personal attention. If funds
are charged by the government to redistribute to the poor, that’s socialism and
is not charity.
We believe we have God-given inalienable
rights to life, liberty and our own property and the primary role of government
is to protect those rights. We oppose government
attempts to disrupt or usurp these rights. We believe abortion is murder.
Liberty Constitutional Conservatives
We are opposed to government interference,
intrusion and overreach. We would oppose
unnecessary or ineffective laws and regulations. We want the government out of our lives, out
of our businesses, out of the media and out of the popular culture. We prescribe
the most individual liberty feasible.
Principled Constitutional Conservatives
We demand a return to the “rule of law” and
expect government to follow the rules and the law. We would attack corruption, bribery,
extortion and would overhaul laws, regulations and practices in
government. When we’re done, you won’t
recognize the place.
