America is a republic, not an empire. Congress must:
1. Support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
2. Defend the borders of our own country.
3. Represent the citizens (not the inhabitants) of the United States.
4. Protect their freedom, property, autonomy, and American sovereignty with justice, free commerce, fair trade, and focused diplomacy.
5. As required by Aricle IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, ensure every state has a republican form of government for its citizens.
6. Sound money is essential to defending freedom. While debased fiat may be constitutional, its implications are not compatible with the equal protection clause.
America can afford a government small enough to fit within the Constitution.
The other nonsense is bankrupting our country financially and morally.
