Rein In and Limit the Federal Government
Uphold the Constitution and Protect Against Federal Over­reach and Abuses of Power

Under the Obama Administration, federal agencies have abused their powers to target citizens for political and religious beliefs, enacted regulations to strangle industries they don't like, and shackled our citizens to inept and failing government programs that we don't want and can't afford.

Cutting and limiting the federal government is not only about taking back OUR tax dollars and reducing an out ­of­ control federal debt, it's also about taking back our freedoms and the powers granted to our states. Breaking Washington's stranglehold means returning our nation back to "We the People" and unleashing the great American innovative, entrepreneurial, and independent spirit.

Another way to restrain the federal government and empower the American people is to limit the time a politician can stay in Washington. Term limits would help ensure our representatives tackle the tough issues and minimize the influence of lobbyists and special interests.
