It is so important for us to return to basic principals if we are going to take our country back from politicians.  We have become so complacent it is scary.  We have let technology disconnect us from each other and from society.  I have to admit it seems easier to watch what is happening from the comfort of my home office and think “wow, look what is happening to those people” and really it is happening to me also.

The fundamental concept we have gotten away from is liberty.   Liberty is a right and at the same time a responsibility.  We are guaranteed liberty but the responsibility to practice liberty remains with us the individual.

The basic principal behind liberty is that we own ourselves and our property and no other person or group can force there will over us.  We are all created equal.  Our elected officials have no more liberty than we.  An individual or group can’t elect someone and then have that person force his will over us either.   Just think about the implications.  This means our government has overstepped its bounds on almost everything it has touched. 

If we all could understand and practice liberty the government would be a lot smaller and we would have less intrusion into our lives. I fear that government will continue to grow and at some point will own us and our liberty.  Who will step forward and lead us back to basic principles or freedom and liberty?

I don’t like “ifs” but if I had the resources I would start a campaign.  It would be the “Me and 49 other people campaign”. I would take myself and 49 other representatives, one from each state, to Washington and our goal would be one simple goal.  Get back to basics.  Rediscover the federal government’s role and remove every law, statute and tax that was unconstitutional.    All earmarks and pending legislation would be suspended.  Liberty and individual responsibility would be our mantra and guide.

But I am just Tony the carpenter and I need to get back to work.
