The statement argues that liberty is not a pathway to a greater political goal but the ultimate political goal itself. It frames freedom as intrinsic value guiding political legitimacy and governance.

Campaign proposal would limit speech and finance campaigns

The piece attacks LT. GOV. Dennis Wicker and Senate Democrats for a plan to cap campaign spending and to finance campaigns with taxpayer funds. It argues that the proposal would grant privileged status to compliant candidates, create a state- retained fair campaign designation, and usurp voter judgment with a state campaign commission. It recalls a 1992 lieutenant governor race as evidence that spending does not decide elections.

Gun control law in Kennesaw cited as success

Richmond C. Beecher writes that Kennesaw Georgia’s 1982 ordinance requiring head of household to own a firearm reduced crime dramatically. He cites 74 percent fewer crimes against persons in 1982 and 45 percent in 1983, with low armed robberies and burglaries. Beecher opposes permit systems for gun owners and argues for “shall issue” laws.
