[KenMacMillan]

This website has yet to be updated. I'm curious, with the 2010 elections coming up, are you working on some state governments?

An constitutional amendment to limit the Fed to a % of GDP would help. Then they would have to cut based on priorities. Question to other viewers: What do you think the % should be?

I think 10% (with a temporary 5 to 10% to pay off debt).

Killer site! Thanks, I'm sure to use it for reference often.

When I first heard about liberterian philosophy & free market economics I was skeptical. Then, I read David Boaz's book, "Libertatrianism" & the word libertarian & its meaning began to unravel. Just as important is what the "free market" is. I realized that Libertarianism is not new. It's just the philosophy that the founding fathers and many brilliant economist abided by. It's what made the US a great nation and the farther way stray away from this doctrine the closer we r 2 our demise.

Has any government in the history of the world ever been permanently reduced in size through the legislative process?

Is Edwards a former Canadian, by any chance? I just noticed he has a slight 'canadian' drawl when he said "about" and it kinda sounded like "aboot".

Down with big government.

End the Fed NOW.

Great stuff, and I dream that it will happen.
