Welcome...

The Founders of the United States of America built a government on a power base from the People. The Peoples' power of liberty was understood to be God-given, not government-granted. The People voluntarily cooperate to govern themselves mainly at local levels, then at State levels, and finally at Federal levels.

They rightfully distrusted distant Federal power, so they devised a rule book, the Constitution of the United States, to specify the basic relationship between the Federal government and the States' governments and the People. The design was to have a Federal government with strict boundaries around it; so, they allotted only a few designated powers to the Federal government with all other powers retained by the States and the People.

These designated powers are contained in Article I, Section 8, and there are only eighteen of them. The Federal Government is ONLY supposed to operate within those strictly limited powers. However, the last century in America has seen a massive move of the Federal Government outside of this box.

We must reform this relationship.
