I am a firm believer in small government - The US Constitution exactly as written AND understood by the framers. If America wants socialism, if America wants a welfare state, then pass an Amendment to support it. Otherwise, it's not possible under our Constitution. I am a firm believer in the "Natural Rights" of all humanity: 1. Life 2. Liberty 3. Pursuit of Happiness 4. Acquire and possess property 5. Engage in my religion without interference from any Government - UNLESS your religion conflicts with "Natural RIghts" #'s 1 through 4. I believe my rights supersede all possible or conceivable government actions - UNLESS I, personally, consent. The "consent of the governed" is the fulcrum. I am Ed Bradford, Ph.D. Physics IBM - Retired Pflugerville,TX
