Americans chose a limited government that exists to protect our rights, not to grant them.

We don't go against the will of the people.

That's what we do in this country. That's the American Dream. That's freedom, and I'll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners.

We know not of the future and cannot plan for it much.

Cities around the United States do not have land use planning like we have in Oregon, and they are all struggling with issues like affordable housing.

We haven't had an agenda for American cities probably since at least Jimmy Carter. We have left cities to fend for themselves.

We don't want our government building files on what people think about their government.

Increasingly, Americans don't own America.

We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.
