We advocate…
- Limiting government to defensive purposes only (such as criminal justice)
- Leaving people free to follow their own conscience, provided they respect the equal rights of others to do the same
- Rejecting “good intentions” as an acceptable reason for politicians to use aggression
We derive these approaches from the Zero Aggression Principle: Don’t aggress against others, personally or politically. 
We support legislation that reduces aggressive or excessive force. We oppose legislation that retains or increases aggressive violence. But you don’t have to agree with us on every issue to participate. You can support our proposals when you agree and oppose them when you disagree.
The Downsize DC Agenda
If you want to control Congress then you must regulate Congress. We create bills designed to give you that power. Each of our bills listed below would constrain Congress. Click on the proposal that intrigues you most.
- The One Subject at a Time Act (OSTA) — prevents Congressional leaders from clustering unrelated bills
- The Read the Bills Act (RTBA) — compels Congress to read legislation before passing it
- The Write the Laws Act (WTLA) — prevents unelected bureaucrats from imposing rules on you (only Congress can legislate).
- Universal Charitable Credit Act (UCCA), the “We Do Better” bill. Get a tax credit for funding non-state solutions.
- The Free Competition in Currency Act – End the Federal Reserve monopoly instantly by repealing the legal tender law.
Communications
- No Net Neutrality ever! – So-called Net Neutrality is unnecessary, anti-consumer, and pure cronyism.
Crime and punishment
- Support sentencing reform
- Support the Justice Safety Valve Reform Act – this will allow judges to override mandatory minimum sentences in many cases
- Restore federal parole – the “land of the free” imprisons far too many people. A year in prison costs more than a year in college. The rate of repeat offenses is also very low. We need to reduce the prison population.
- Pardon Ross Ulbricht (Silk Road) – two life sentences for someone who hurt no one is too much
Ending Prohibition
- Protect the marijuana states from federal tyranny!
- Legalize marijuana – the time has come, and there are bills in Congress to do it.
Federal Finances
- Cut spending (pending)
- Cut taxes
- Cut regulations (pending)
- End business subsidies — it’s wrong to take from some to enrich others
Foreign policy & National Defense
- Use cultural engagement instead of military violence
- Drop all sanctions against Iran – history shows that sanctions tend to do more harm than good. There’s a better way to change Iran.
- Repeal the AUMF – it’s a blank check for endless war.
- Repeal Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act – it’s unconstitutional, and the NSA admits that metadata spying doesn’t help them catch terrorists.
Healthcare
- End the health insurance cartel – Dramatically reduce the incredible expense of mandates. Permit Americans to buy insurance in whatever state they choose.
- Untax healthcare – Make all healthcare expenditures tax-deductible, including insurance premiums and preventive measures. Allow unlimited HSAs.
- Let Medicaid and Medicare patients OWN their healthcare dollars! – Incentivize the frugal use of medical services with Medicaid and Medicare HSAs.
- Pass the Right to Try Act – Give terminal patients access to experimental medicines
- Make the FDA advisory instead of dictatorial – The FDA should have no power to prevent you and your doctor from using the treatments you prefer.
Immigration
- Give us constitutional immigration laws — current laws violate the 9th and 10th Amendments.
Money & Banking
- The Free Competition in Currency Act – End the Federal Reserve Monopoly by repealing the legal tender law.
Trade
- Stop the Trade War – American exports have decreased
- Make us rich through unilateral free trade – it worked for Singapore and Hong Kong (while the poorest countries have the highest tariffs)
- Ask President Trump to clarify his trade policy — is he working for free trade or protectionism?
