True conservatives are usually in the "smaller government is better government" camp. Having more and more people being employed directly by the government will only make it harder to improve that government, as those government employees will be hesitant to vote in a manner that will negatively affect them.

Such a vote would force Democrats to choose between their anti-gun position and the [...]
UPDATEA: Only 50 tickets left! Relive the beginning of the Tea Party Movement that started less than a year ago. A fantastic documentary film!
Here's a great video montage from the Lobby Day rally on January 18th at the Capitol. Virginia is clawing her way back to the Constitution, one bill at a time. Keep fighting!
The Lobby Day rally was mentioned by the Washington Post again, this time in the Express Night Out newsletter.
