Examples of Violations of Our American Principles

Our federal government has violated these principles in many ways, including the following:

• Passing laws without regard to the enumerated powers in the Constitution
• Weakening the Bill of Rights to allow the confiscation of private land for private use.
• Imposing onerous regulations that diminish the value of private property
• Government ownership and control of businesses
• Restricting political speech through campaign finance laws
• Ineffective action to stop illegal immigration
• Appointing judges who invent laws and dictate social policy
• Restricting the ability of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms
• Voting on bills before our representatives have read and debated them
• Confiscatory taxation
• Running deficits and saddling future generations with the resulting debt.
• Using the power of the government to redistribute wealth and favor certain groups
• Passing laws that do not apply to certain elected officials
