Primary concerns:

1. Educating our students and electorate about the founding principles that made our country the most successful society in the history of mankind and showing how these principles are timeless and as applicable to today's issues as they were in the 18th century. Would like to develop some short editorials and classes that can be used to inform the public and thus stimulate activism.

2. Working for Individual Liberty and Limited Government by focusing on State Sovereignty and nullification at the State level and in conjunction with other States.
