ASH-HEAP? OR RENAISSANCE? "We have come to a time for choosing; we will preserve for our children this the last best hope for man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.” Ronald Reagan, 1964

Government Is The Problem! Ronald Reagan, 1981 Problem began before the ink was dry, “A republic if you can keep it!” Benjamin Franklin, 1787 Jefferson foresaw the problem, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” Thomas Jefferson, 1809

Tocqueville Defined The Problem “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits...” Alexis de Tocqueville, 1831

Wilson Made It Worse "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." Woodrow Wilson, 1914

Soluble? Or Insoluble? “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing, but only after they have tried everything else.” Winston Churchill, 1918 “...history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.” Ronald Reagan, 1964 “We've learned to articulate the ideas of liberty a lot better, but we haven't learned to turn that into political effectiveness.” Charles Koch, 2007

SOLUBLE! What was true in 1776, is still true in 2012:  “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” Thomas Paine, 1776 Two unique campaign funding mechanisms can be implemented by Charles Koch in a politically effective plan dubbed the Reagan Wing Reagan Wing's multi-faceted approach can leverage political power to pull both Republicans and Democrats progressively to the right in every election cycle The “entitlements” can be limited and phased out over the next decade Term Limits and a Private Digital Gold Currency (PDGC) can repeal Gresham's Law of Politicians

Koch Is The Key, but you....can be instrumental in initiating the renaissance. Get the link below to Mr. Koch or get it to somebody who can:
