Using Language to Expand Power
In 1984, George Orwell portrayed in chilling detail how totalitarian governments use the power of language to manipulate the masses. This notion was not unfamiliar to the founders, as James Madison warned that changing definitions of words over time would create “a metamorphosis” that would destroy the original limitations of the Constitution.

Like a Cancer: 3 Big Failures
Government power is like a cancer. So if the people don’t “nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud,” they shouldn’t be surprised when it’s used as a foundation for more and more and more. The people certainly failed to get the job done, and in these three areas, it couldn’t be more obvious.

Legal Tender Act: Gold and Silver are Money
The unconstitutional central bank uses fiat to power the largest government in history. The federal government will never shut down its own money printer. So it’s up to the states and the people to get the job done. An important first step is the “Legal Tender Act” – now law in 3 states, and counting.
