E-Newsletter No. 83 November 2020
If you haven’t voted already with a Mail-in Ballot, or if you haven’t taken advantage of early voting, there is still time to cast your ballot on Tuesday, November 3rd.
When our Foundation was established in 2013, our initial goal was to encourage our country’s citizens to re-embrace our traditional values of self-reliance, self-determination, self-actualization, and social responsibility. We wanted to re-invigorate civil society, shrink the size and scope of the federal government, and to have each and every individual take personal responsibility for their own life, rather than become dependent upon the federal government. When we published The 2020 Initiative in June 2016, our primary demand was that the federal government re-establish fiscal responsibility and eliminate the annual deficit. (Didn’t happen). Our recommendations included implementing Term Limits, minimizing the federal government’s involvement in our country’s healthcare marketplace, and transforming Social Security into a means-tested welfare benefit. (Didn’t happen). It should be readily apparent that each of these initiatives continue to be of utmost importance, because if we do not accomplish these goals, our federal government will continue to coerce huge sums of money from our children and grandchildren and bankrupt the country. This is an indisputable fact and an inconvenient truth that confronts our country’s citizens.
For anyone who has been paying attention this past year, it is quite apparent that our unalienable rights spelled out in the First, Second and Fourth Amendments are also under attack by the Left. Our country is at the crossroads. We can make a hard left and accept the radical Left’s agenda, or we can move forward with a conservative agenda that advances the concepts of personal responsibility, a limited federal government (“one so small you can barely see it”), a re-energized civil society, and a free market / not socialism.
George Orwell wrote a book entitled 1984 where he warned his readers about a coercive totalitarian regime, the rise of Big Brother, loyalty to the party, the Thought Police, the Hate Song, the Hate Week Celebration, the loss of individualism, and the loss of all civil Liberties. Orwell might have been off by thirty-six years, but he wrote his book because he knew the Left’s ultimate goals.
This year’s elections represent yet another round in the ongoing battle to protect our freedoms, Liberty and unalienable rights. Our country’s citizens need to soundly reject the idea of Bigger Government and additional “government-granted rights.” We need to shrink the size and scope (and intrusiveness) of the federal government. Make your vote count.
