We just simply want to get back to basics, get - restore essentially the constitutional foundation of the country, and that means the federal government becoming less onerous, less involved in every - basically every item of our lives. And what that means is there does have to be some transition.

Whatever changes the new era brings, whatever new pathways we take, I am sure that our special relationship with America - forged in adversity, will not change.

Either we start cutting the government and shrinking the size of government, or else we're going to face the political wrath of the American people.

I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private individuals.

We should have a very limited federal government.

We have always been prepared to negotiate with the U.S. government everything that has to do with bilateral relations, on a basis of the strictest mutual respect for the sovereign rights of each country. We will never try to ask the government of the United States to change its economic and political system.

Today we must make a pact with each other to end this reckless conduct with the people's government.

But the basic difficulty still remains: It is the expansion of Federal power, about which I wish to express my alarm. How easily we embrace such business.

It's really remarkable when you think about what we don't like about government, we, the people created. So if we created it, we can also fix it.

We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives.
