Jake's principles are:
1. Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth, nor to grant special privileges, nor to interfere with the lives of individuals and their actions. The government of a free country, properly speaking, rests not in its elected officials but in its laws.

2. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Therefore, transfer of American sovereignty to supranational organizations, even if benign, is not permissible without a constitutional amendment.

3. The United States Constitution was written under the principle of "positive grant." This means the federal government is authorized to exercise only the powers which are specifically given to it by the Constitution, and nothing more.

4. Each individual is fundamentally equal under the law with all other individuals. The rule of law's framework of liberty ensures the greatest opportunity for individuals to explore their strengths and surmount obstacles.

5. A limited and decentralized government with inherent checks and balances results in more self-rule by local communities, and hence providing local diversity and overall greater satisfaction for individuals. Individuals can always vote with their feet, and move to areas not affected by laws they strongly disagree with.

6. Individuals have the right to live their own lives in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal rights of others.

7. The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights — life, liberty, and justly acquired property — against aggression.

8. Rights belong to individuals, not groups.

9. Rights are not privileges, they are derived from the natural state of being human.

10. The Constitution merely acts to forbid the infringement of the federal government upon these rights.

11. The government's monetary role is to mint money and maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not to commit fraud by debasement or to substitute counterfeits of paper for the constitutionally-specified forms of lawful money, coins of gold and silver.

12. However, individuals should be free to trade and exchange as money any mutually agreeable commodity or item as they wish.

13. Property should be owned by people, not government.

14. The free market is feared by many who do not understand it. Those who do realize the free market is the most just, most humane economic system, and remains the greatest engine of prosperity and liberty the world has ever known.

15. Freedom is an indivisible whole. It includes not only economic liberties but personal liberties as well.

  • I knew that Ron Paul wasn't going to be our president in 2008 because the country wasn't ready, and that is our loss. I worked hard in that campaign anyway, because it was the best path to liberty. Our country was ready to start back down the path to liberty and I'm very pleased and proud of the work we all did.

    I live in central Kentucky, and I am working just as hard for the Rand Paul campaign. Rand WILL BE OUR US SENATOR IN 2010. The voters will be very ready by the primary. Guaranteed.

  • Ron Paul can win in 2012. Let's get Rand, Peter, Jake, Adam, RJ and others into Congress in 2010. Ron Paul in 2012. We can do it, our country needs it.

  • I understand but not yet until all the wealth bearers in this country forfeit their estate to the cause.

    You base it on tyranny i can say that any man has the well with all to gain wealth but not at the expense of the Nation. A true Revoulation is called for to stop this Royal nonsence but to make this Nation a land once again that is open to cultures that are proven and tested to form one,the True American.
