Our Mission

Local Issues

Our mission is to move our society towards:

  • greater personal freedom
  • individual liberty and personal responsibility
  • smaller, less intrusive government;
  • promote voluntary cooperation between free individuals, replacing the use of coercion to achieve political or social goals

We intend to accomplish this mission by electing candidates to public office, and by educating the public through information campaigns and debates.

...to freedom good sense: Leaving the comfort zone of big parties.

A prominent conservative republican, and a Christian, reluctantly admits that US problems can't be fixed by tinkering with government or the current power structure. His conclusions may sound familiar -- that the republican party is as much of the problem as the democrats... and that flag waving can't hide that neither big party believes in real freedom, and that both pay lip service to what little is left of the old constitution.
