Limited Government is the Key

Much of the media focused it's coverage of the protests on Sept. 12th on a minority of outliers who were ignorant or racist. The most important message we should be giving the president is the people's belief in freedom. Freedom means all choices are available. The current government is taking away our choices and our freedom. All reasonable people need to be upset about the spread of government into our lives. Below are some related links.

Limited Government Links
"In a capitalist society, no man or group may initiate the use of physical force against others. The only function of the government, in such a society, is the task of protecting man’s rights, i.e., the task of protecting him from physical force; the government acts as the agent of man’s right of self-defense, and may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use; thus the government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of force under objective control."

"The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law."
