Federalism

Our federal government has grown dangerously large and powerful. It consumes an alarming portion of the national income, and has thrown the net of federal control over nearly every aspect of our lives. Enough is enough. It is time to send power back to the people by returning the federal government to its constitutional boundaries and leaving it up to the people - acting through their state and local governments - to decide what level of government action or inaction best suits their needs.

This revitalizing of the diffusion of power between the federal, state and local governments is crucial to our future as a free society.
