"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation ... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."

James Garfield, the twentieth president of the United States, 1877

"As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight." --Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

LAURA INGRAHAM INTERVIEW


Chuck's Interview on water and stimulus

Good interview Chuck is the first half of the audio segment.

* Government policies should encourage individual responsibility, thrift, honest work, and prudent risk taking – not dependence on government, moral hazard, idleness, and fear.

* Because government spending and debt is out of control, Chuck thinks that higher taxes, inflation, and a weakened economy will soon result.

* Chuck DeVore believes that the purpose of government is to secure our “unalienable rights” “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”

*Chuck believes that secure borders are the sovereign right of every nation and that porous borders are a national security threat

* Chuck believes that America needs America’s oil and gas and that we can extract those resources in an environmentally sound way

* Analyzing the data for himself, Chuck believes that producing affordable energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions is only possible with modern nuclear power

* Because California Democrats enacted the largest state tax increase in U.S. history in early 2009 and are likely to hike taxes even higher, making California the most-taxed state in America, California’s economic recovery will be hurt, throwing more people out of work – Barbara Boxer’s anti-jobs policies will be profoundly unpopular by November 2010. THIS IS WHY CHUCK DEVORE WILL WIN.
