Global Warming

Written by Clayton Thibodeau

I believe that global warming occurs in natural cycles - having more to do with the sun than the activities of humankind.

The 10th Amendment

Written by Clayton Thibodeau

The 10th Amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The 9th Amendment

Written by Clayton Thibodeau

That which most distinguishes the United States of America from every other nation of the world, past and present, is the individual liberty of its citizens - which liberty is protected by "our" Constitution.

The 9th Amendment states with simple clarity, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construde to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

United Nations

Written by Clayton Thibodeau

I support withdrawal from the U.N.

President Lincoln Said

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage earner down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they should do for themselves." Abraham Lincoln
