| | Citizen government was a service to one's community, city, county, state and nation. | | | We call for the return of the part-time citizen legislator, who understands the problems faced by his constituents because, like them, he has to make a living under the laws enacted by the Legislature; and who is representative of the people he serves, not a mere high paid appendage of the governmental bureaucracy. | | | We believe that Congress should enact legislation to remove the appellate jurisdiction of the Federal courts relating to prayer in schools, abortion, school busing, racial or sexual quotas, and voter adopted amendments to state constitutions. |
