Nobody in Congress takes the once-sacred oath seriously. The oath to "support the Constitution" means nothing if it doesn't mean promising to NOT support and fund anything which is NOT Constitutional. That should be obvious. Will electing one Libertarian to Congress persuade Democrats and Republicans to keep their oath to support the Constitution? No, of course not. But it's a start. Voting for the same politicians who got us into this mess is not a start. It's a wasted vote.

But every professor of political science in every university on planet earth will tell you that "government" is a "monopoly of violence." Politicians claim a monopoly on sin. If you or I did what governments do, our neighbors would think we are sinful and evil sociopaths. But if politicians do it, we give them a pass. This mythology has to be debunked or we sentence future generations to crime and chaos.

If the British government in 1776 was a "tyranny," then the federal government of 2026 is a mega-tyranny. Every person who signed the Declaration of Independence would take immediate steps to abolish this tyrannical government. The Constitution was intended to prevent the newly-created federal government from becoming another tyranny. It failed. Every person who signed the Constitution would take immediate steps to repeal the Constitution and abolish the government it created.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Although Kevin Craig believes the federal government is a mega-tyranny that America's Founding Fathers would abolish, he absolutely opposes the use of violence to do so. He does not even approve of the American Revolution and its use of muskets and cannons. The question is not whether Real Americans would abolish the Bush-Obama regime; the only question is how.

Before you are capable of risking your Life, your Fortune and your sacred Honor to abolish tyranny, you must LOVE LIBERTY. Like George Washington, you must yearn with all your heart for a world where everyone dwells safely under his own Vine & Fig Tree.

Many Americans say they would like to go back to "the good ol' days." But that's not enough. If you come to a fork in the road and you take the wrong exit, going back to the fork in the road is not enough, no matter how difficult that journey may be. You must be willing to fill up the tank one more time and continue making progress along the right path. Once we abolish numerous unconstitutional government bureaucracies and get back to the ideal of "Liberty Under God," we must be prepared to go beyond that into the future.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

We need to get back to these roots. Liberty Under God is a truly radical agenda, one opposed by both "secular progressives" on the "left" and "neoconservatives" on the "right."

Once he gets all unconstitutional programs abolished, Kevin Craig would work to do what America's Founders would do: abolish even the Constitutional programs. America's Founding Fathers made two huge mistakes. First, they engaged in a violent armed insurrection against the British government. The Bible prohibits the violent overthrow of tyrannical empires. Jesus said "resist not evil" and "Render unto Caesar," who was a violent pagan invader who slaughtered thousands of Jews, and enslaved them, claiming to be god. Second, having abolished the government, America's Founders then created a new one -- which turned out to be worse than the one they abolished. They believed God required human beings to form "governments." 100% pure laissez-faire capitalism was not allowed, they believed; there had to be some socialism or some fascism. But they were wrong about this. They believed God required society to have a "public sector." That's not what the Bible says.

Politics is a tug-of-war. With 430+ members of Congress pulling for more federal spending, it will be a miracle if a lone Libertarian in Congress can get 25 cents cut.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

A real American will never vote for any candidate who would vote to increase government spending, or even to sustain current levels of government spending. All Government spending must be cut, even at risk of, or with the design of, shutting government down.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

The difference between Kevin Craig on the one hand, and the Republican and Democrat on the other hand, could not be clearer. Kevin Craig is committed to being the candidate America's Founding Fathers would vote for if they were alive in 2026. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution would cast their vote for Kevin Craig. Let that be your standard when you go to the polls. The Signers of the Declaration of Independence risked "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" in defense of their dreams. Let that be your example. You must be willing to "waste your vote." A vote for Kevin Craig is not a vote for "the winner," but a vote for either of the two major party candidates is a vote lost in an ocean of votes against "Liberty Under God." America's Founding Fathers would say that America has become an atheistic tyranny, and they would blame politicians like our outgoing Congressman and the two candidates who want to follow in his steps.

Kevin Craig supports reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope or power of government at any level or for any purpose.

Republicans have been promising to abolish or de-fund wasteful, harmful, and unconstitutional bureaucracies for decades and they never keep their promises. They cannot be trusted to keep their solemn oath to support the Constitution.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Probably a majority of voters today are not Real Americans because they want to use the government to confiscate the wealth of others and redistribute it to themselves. Too many Missouri voters want to vote for a candidate who is "smart" enough to take more from the constituents of other Congressmen than the other Congressmen will take from Missourians. This is theft. God will not bless America as long as we are stealing from each other, using the government to do so.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

The United States Federal Government is in our day the greatest obstacle to self-government and "Liberty Under God." If you think your Congressman can create a federal program to move America one step toward "Liberty Under God," you're forgetting about all the other federal programs that take us three steps back.

Kevin Craig is the only candidate in the race for Missouri's 7th Congressional seat who is steadfastly committed not only to never increasing taxes or spending, but following the example and principles of America's Founding Fathers, working to abolish the federal government, the greatest enemy of Liberty Under God.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

If America's Founding Fathers could travel through time from 1776 to 2026, they would immediately take steps to abolish the Constitution they signed and the government it creates and they would start working to make America a Christian Theocracy once again. "Theocracy" is the alarmist word used by those who don't want students in public schools to be taught that the Declaration of Independence is really true.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

There are only a handful of Congressmen in Washington who believe in Liberty Under God. The vast majority have consistently voted their belief that your life should be monitored and regulated by a huge Secular State. America's Founding Fathers would be utterly aghast at the size of our intrusive, paternalistic, and warlike government. Their shock would turn to anger if they were told that the federal government orders cities, states and communities to prohibit prayer and the Ten Commandments in public places. And if they were to listen to our politicians' campaign speeches, they would see instantly that the federal government claims to be America's Secular Messiah, bringing social salvation to the U.S. and the entire world.

the policy of the bill is adverse to the diffusion of the light of Christianity. The first wish of those who enjoy this precious gift, ought to be that it may be imparted to the whole race of mankind. Compare the number of those who have as yet received it with the number still remaining under the dominion of false Religions; and how small is the former! Does the policy of the Bill tend to lessen the disproportion? No; it at once discourages those who are strangers to the light of (revelation) from coming into the Region of it; and countenances, by example the nations who continue in darkness, in shutting out those who might convey it to them. Instead of levelling as far as possible, every obstacle to the victorious progress of truth, the Bill with an ignoble and unchristian timidity would circumscribe it, with a wall of defence, against the encroachments of error.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

All unconstitutional federal programs -- about 99% of the federal government's budget -- should be abolished. Even constitutional programs, such as the Post Office, should also be abolished, and capitalistic entrepreneurs allowed to compete with each other to provide needed services to the American public. All needed social services can be provided faster, cheaper, with higher quality, to more people, by capitalism ("the Free Market" - "Free Enterprise") than by socialism in any form.

If you really want smaller government, you need the strongest, most passionate defender for smaller government pulling on your side of the rope. Vote for Kevin Craig, who pulls the rope to abolish all government programs, and keep voting for Kevin Craig until you feel all unconstitutional, wasteful, and socially harmful government programs have been abolished. Then vote for someone else who will keep all remaining government programs you want to keep. Your vote for Congress only lasts two years. Then it's time to vote again.
