What We Expect From Government And Voters
Hypocrisy
Minimal Government
Minimal Government
Don’t be a hypocrite. If you voice an opinion against something, don’t get caught doing it.
AKA the ‘Minneapolis Airport’ rule.
Minimal Government
Minimal Government
Minimal Government
The government should enable me by getting out of my way, ensure I have the rights to do as I see fit. Not control me, not tax the shit out of me, not regulate everything, not make me live by other groups rules.
The ‘Lemon Tree’ rule, if you have a lemon tree you should be able sell lemons, no questions asked. The consumer can decide if you meet the proper standards, and if you don’t, your market will go away.
Freedom
Minimal Government
Self-Ownership
I will vote for ‘Freedom’ for everyone to make their own choices and mistakes.
Not ‘Freedom’ for me to follow your ideas/beliefs/morals. I am not going to ask for laws based on my beliefs and I expect you to do the same.
If you don’t believe in something, Don’t do it.
Stop making choices for others.
Self-Ownership
Taxes/Financial Responsibility
Self-Ownership
You own your body and have all the rights to do with it what you choose.
No one else should have a say.
Nor should anyone make laws limiting you choices.
Taxes/Financial Responsibility
Taxes/Financial Responsibility
Taxes/Financial Responsibility
Treat my tax dollars responsibly.
The Gov. has no money, they are using ours.
Treat it with respect.
Religious Freedom
Taxes/Financial Responsibility
Taxes/Financial Responsibility
I expect to be allowed to practice whatever religion or no religion as I see fit.
No party should be associated with a religion.
Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or Tom Cruise should not be your running mate.
Your morality is not my morality and you don’t know better than I do.
Term Limits
Term Limits
Term Limits
Political office is not a Career.
Require Term limits for all offices.
This would limit how much money lobbyists/corporations would be willing to pay a specific official, because they will be gone in a couple years.
If an official was voted in worth a couple $100K, they should not leave office with millions.
Make your money on your Book after your public service.
Charity
Term Limits
Term Limits
Charity should be 100% privately funded.
If you want to support a group or someone in need, do it, I encourage it, but don’t make laws making every taxpayer contribute.
Help, Encourage, Support your local community, family and friends, but don’t be a sucker for people who never learn, and constantly make their lives and others worse.
Consistency
Term Limits
Political Equality
Judge all parties by the same rules.
Misogyny, rape, tax evasion and other activity can’t be acceptable for a party you like, and illegal/immoral for a party you don’t.
Political Equality
Political Equality
Political Equality
Political officials should have the same healthcare and retirement investment options as the general public.
Leave Me Alone
Political Equality
Leave Me Alone
Pretty self explanatory.
You make choices for you, and I will make choices for me.
Neither should make Laws/Choices for the other.
We will be happy in our separate worlds.
About Us
We are not a political party, but a group of people that post signs (physical/online), comments and thoughts to get people to think about what it is to be part of the broken political system in the US.
We are mad and demand more and better choices in the political process.
Voting for one person\party because you don't like the other person\party is not acceptable.
We know what political affiliations we have, but since we may say/do things outside the official talking points,we're here.
