NATIONAL TRADITIONALIST CAUCUS ISSUES
CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM:
We
at the National Traditionalist Caucus firmly reject the claim of some
supposed “experts” that the U.S. Constitution is an
outdated document. Our founding fathers had more wisdom at their
fingertips than these know-it-all professionals have in all  their
heads put together. The Bill of Rights must not be amended to fit
their socialist edicts. The right of speech, assembly, worship
(publicly as well as privately), property, and defense against
unwarranted searches and seizures are all timeless,
“self-evident” rights, “endowed by our
Creator,” as the U.S. Declaration of Independence
states. Most of all, the right of self-defense is the only right
that makes all the others enforceable. The right to defend
yourself, your property and your family is sacred and must never be
infringed! We also believe the Federal Government must not impede
state and local sovereignty, and that none of our three government
branches (Executive, Legislative and Judicial) should usurp the
others. We strongly support the return of civics to our
classrooms so that all children learn how our Constitution works. 
We understand that in the
wake of 9/11, some people might feel the need for extra protection and,
indeed, some personal inconveniences may be necessary for our common
safety. But we warn all that as Benjamin Franklin said, “Those
who give up their liberty in order to abtain temporary safety, deserves
neither liberty, or safety.” Government monitoring of
law abiding citizens can be very dangerous, as Thomas Jefferson
warned “enlightened statesmen may not always be at the
helm.” George Orwell’s vision of “Big
Brother” in our home must not be forgotten. Tough law
enforcement must entail punishing the guilty with impunity, while
leaving the rest alone; liberals believe just the opposite.
We strongly opposed
the Bush administration's secret ploy to forge a North American Union
with Mexico and Canada via the Security and Prosperity Partnership. We
have also strongly opposed the building of the NAFTA Superhighway.
