PRINCIPLES
are the basis by
which all decisions are made
1) My Money, My Choice -My dollars I
will spend my money if, when, and on who I want to. I work hard for my money.
The government does not have the right to steal it from me and GIVE it to
someone else. We have the right to pursue happiness, not have it.
2) I will never trade my
liberty for security, because liberty is my security.
Rod Rieger 06-2009 The
founding fathers knew this and wrote the constitution to limit government power.
3) Tax Dollars -Government Dollars
-Tax dollars can only be spent on what the Constitution allows. Tax dollars
should never go to private organizations like ACORN.

4) The United States is a republic. It
is the greatest country in the world, and I do not want to be like any other,
nor can we force other countries to be like us.
The founders and immigrants left their home
country to start anew, not duplicate what they left behind
5) Pursuit of happiness- We have the right to pursue happiness, not have it. I
do not owe anyone happiness nor does anyone have the right to take it from
someone.
6) Government Limits-"Governments
are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the
governed." This is why we have a government limited by a
constitution.
7) Judges --For

8) Individual Liberty and Freedom You
own and are responsible for your life, choices, obligations, rewards, and
punishments.
9) The Constitution is NOT alive, but can be amended
We are a living breathing society. The Constitution is here to limit government
power and protect our individual rights and freedoms. If the constitution needs
to be changed, it MUST be done according to the methods put forth in the
constitution, and not by a judge on the bench.
PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS
10) Third party pay for anything does not work
When ever the consumer is removed from the payment process for anything the
costs skyrocket. When the consumer does not pay the bill directly, they feel no
pain and thus there is no reason to lower the price.
11) All men are created equal does NOT mean equal results or equal things.
1) All men are created equal before God 2) Equal before
the law 3) Equal in their rights
12) Some will prosper more than others.
No matter what. It is part of "nature's law and
natures God".
13) I believe in myself and what I can do.
The Government cannot be trusted.
14) The founders left their home country to
start anew, not duplicate what they left behind.
15) Calculated charity is measured by how
many people no longer need it, not how many more it can be given to.
* You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
* You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
* You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
* You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
* You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
* You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
* You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
* You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
* You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and
independence.
* And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should
do for themselves.
The Ten Cannots by
William J. H. Boetcker
5 Basic Realities
-
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out
of prosperity.
-
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for
without receiving.
-
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not
first take from somebody else.
-
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because
the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets
the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get
what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any
nation.
-
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
I will
never trade my liberty for security, because liberty is my security. Rod Rieger
