Voters: Take the Small Government PledgeSM
The only way you can get small government is to vote small government. And that begins with taking — and living by — the Small Government PledgeSM:
The Small Government PledgeSM is an action pledge, not just a statement of belief, principles, or positions.
Do you sincerely want to make government small? If so, take the Small Government PledgeSM!
“I vote small government. Every issue. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses.”
Here’s what the Small Government PledgeSM means:
1. I will vote for and support only those candidates who consistently vote for small government; who work to make government smaller than it is today. For candidates who have never served in office, I will vote only for those who campaign to make government smaller than it is today.
2. I will vote against and refuse to support every candidate who votes to sustain or enlarge today’s Big Government — or campaigns for it.
3. I will vote in every federal, state, and local election. If necessary, I’ll get an absentee ballot. I’ll find out about the choices on my ballot — and make sure I always vote small government.
4. If there is no small government candidate on the ballot, I will either write in and vote for a small government candidate, leave the ballot blank for that office, or write in and vote for “small government”.
5. I will vote for every ballot initiative and referendum that shrinks the size, spending, taxes, scope, or power of today’s Big Government.
6. I will vote against every ballot initiative, referendum, and bond that increases the size, spending, taxes, scope, or power of today’s Big Government.”
