How To Evaluate Legislation
5 Questions to ask:
Is it constitutional?
Does it support a core function of government?
Does it increase personal liberty, free enterprise, personal responsibility or property rights?
Will it decrease spending, taxes, fees, government control, regulations or federal overreach?
Is it right for a moral people?
