Segment Topic:
-
- Federal government at war with freedom itself?
- For far too long, the federal government has expanded its reach, encroaching on the powers and prerogatives reserved to the states and the people. This centralization of authority is not only a betrayal of the constitutional system our Founders established it is a clear and present danger to the liberties we hold dear.
- Are too many Americans eager to give-up their liberties when offered no alternative by government?
The solution to this overreach does not lie in hoping for change in Washington, D.C., but in returning power to the states the original guardians of American sovereignty. As James Madison wisely counseled, the states “have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil” of any unconstitutional acts by the federal government. - The Make America STATES Again action project is designed to inspire, educate, and mobilize patriots across the country to restore the proper balance of power between the federal government and the states. Here, you’ll find the tools and resources needed to take meaningful action whether by advancing legislation in your state, educating others about state sovereignty, or championing the Constitution’s vision of limited federal government.
- What about repealing the 17th Amendment as the first step to rein in Washington sponsored tyranny?
Together, we can reclaim the freedoms that federal overreach has eroded. It's time to Make America STATES Again. - What has Washington done to the value of the U.S. Dollar? Kevin McCallister spent $19.83 on groceries in “Home Alone.”
That same basket of Kevin’s groceries would now cost $53.95 before tax — or $52.95 with his $1-off coupon — a 167% increase over 35 years, according to calculations done by USA Today.
