Government has never voluntarily ceded power back to the people. They always have to take it back, as a government that governs least, governs best.
I promote the "old fashioned" option to limit government power over our lives and hope to return to what county commissions were elected to do, not build and expand, as described on the county website, but rather control county policy and keep big government, big spending bureaucrats in check and accountable to me and especially to you.
There are pressing issues at the county level which should take precedence over constructing complexes for millions of dollars at the behest of appointed bureaucrats.
I have attended several county meetings. Being there opened my eyes to the insanity of some of the requests by department heads. In one recent meeting I listened to the Animal control director ask the board to consider licensing Barn cats claiming that her own surveys of farmers supported such a measure. Luckily the board still has some common sense or at least I hope they do. Most people don't know what county commissioners do, nor do they care, but if they looked into what goes on, I would bet most folks wouldn't like it much. Enjoy my site, see what I'm about and explore the related links promoting liberty and limited government.
There is no question that Berrien county is becoming more nationalized/ federalized every passing day.
A new age coming of smaller government is upon us. More accountability and less burden on our posterity as a result of our selfishness and spending what we don't have. I welcome limited government over the established status quo as I fail to see conservatism practiced by most so-called conservatives, especially in fiscal practices.

Limited Government/ Federal intrusion I believe in the core principles this nation was founded on with limitations on federal government power and influence as described in Art I sec 8 of the US constitution. http://theintolerableacts.orgAnything outside the scope of those limits has no place at the county level. I believe in the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Rights found in the Michigan Constitution and reject any federal laws or actions that violate those rights and am willing to go on record in opposition of such intrusive federal action at the county level. One such law is the the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). Please check out the links about the NDAA below. I have already proposed a resolution to the County Board to nullify the unconstitutional provisions at the county level. http://peopleagainstndaa.com Constitutional attorney on the NDAA  | Juries and Courts I support and defend the rights of due process and promote a fair and just judicial system, which in my opinion is lacking in this county. I promote fully informed jurors who understand their rights in deciding both the facts and the law in a case and I will fight to provide this information to potential jurors. I oppose the recent transfer of control over jurors from the clerk to the courts. I oppose the current indigent defense practices which are corrupt and unjust and the disparity this system promotes. I support a new system run outside the county court system. I oppose allowing the same county judges who decide cases in deciding whether court costs are affordable to both plaintiffs and defendants for appeals in civil cases.  |
