"Through strategic litigation, training, communication, activism and
research, the Institute for Justice advances a rule of law under which
individuals can control their destinies as free and responsible members
of society. IJ litigates to secure economic liberty, school choice,
private property rights, freedom of speech and other vital individual
liberties, and to restore constitutional limits on the power of
government. In addition, IJ trains law students, lawyers and policy
activists in the tactics of public interest litigation.
Through these activities, IJ challenges the ideology of the welfare
state and illustrates and extends the benefits of freedom to those
whose full enjoyment of liberty is denied by government."

Why repeal the 17th Amendment?
From http://repeal17now.org/
"The founders
created the Senate to be the legislative body that represented the states,
while the House of Representatives
represented the people. These two bodies were designed to provide
checks and balances between the legislative branch and the executive
branch while
also providing checks and balances between the federal government and the
states."

The limits of tolerance
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the
disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to
those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant
society... then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with
them... We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the
right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
― Karl R. Popper

To everyone:
I do respect your right to your religion. I do NOT have to respect your religion. Nor do I have to respect you for choosing your religion. I do respect your rights and insist that you also respect my rights.
