Contract From America Preamble
We, the citizens of the United States of America,
in order to protect our country from those who seek power and authoritarian
control under the false guise of compassion and altruism, call upon our elected
representatives to sign this Contract and by doing so commit to upholding the principles
herein:
Individual Liberty
Our moral, political, and economic liberties are
inherent, not gifts from the government. It is essential to the practice
of these liberties that we be free from restriction over our peaceful political
expression and free from excessive control over our economic choices.
Limited Government
The purpose of our government is to protect our
liberties by administering justice and ensuring our safety from threats arising
inside or outside our country’s sovereign borders. When our government ventures
beyond these functions and attempts to increase its power over the marketplace
and the economic decisions of individuals, our liberties are diminished and the
probability of corruption, internal strife, economic depression, and poverty
increases.
Economic Freedom
The most powerful, proven instrument of material
and social progress is the free market. The market economy, driven by the
accumulated expressions of individual economic choices, is the only economic
system that preserves and enhances individual liberty. Any other economic
system, regardless of its intended pragmatic benefits, undermines our
fundamental rights as free people.
