What are all the smaller/smarter signs about?
My campaign theme is smaller, smarter government. As Ronald Reagan said in his farewell address to the nation, “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts."
President Reagan was right. We’re seeing our state and federal governments expand at an unsustainable rate, and we’re starting to see our liberties contract at the hands of an intrusive, overbearing government.
I’ve had many people ask me lately, “What will you do to make our government smaller and smarter?” In my view, the situation looks like this:
At your doorstep... 
As you may know, I have spent a lot of time knocking on doors and talking to voters like you at your doorsteps. I really enjoy this, because I get a glimpse into who you are, and what your values are. The other night while I was in Hudson, I spoke with a family that started asking me about my wife and family. Before our conversation ended, the mom said, "Come back to our house before you leave the neighborhood; I will have something for you in our driveway."
I finished walking the neighborhood and went back to their house. In the drive were three sacks. One was filled with apples; the other two contained gifts for my wife and me. That made my day - in fact, it made my whole month!
