Support limited government

 

Our government in Washington, D.C., has now increased the national debt to about $16 trillion. The debt has increased greatly during the Obama administration alone. The Bible says in Proverbs 22:7 that “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”

Small businesses are stuck with government regulations and much red tape. This hinders our economy from expanding.

The 10th Amendment to the Constitution says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, or to the people.” This has been violated again and again.

Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Many good men need to be elected and sent to Congress. These good men should fully obey the Constitution and favor limited government from our Congress in Washington, D.C., and from our government in Olympia.
