Signs That You Live Under A Statist Regime
Government regulation of firearms, tobacco, alcohol and explosive devices as well as certain plants.
There is an "income tax" which takes money directly from you with no trade or purchase involved.
Your government lectures you via television and radio with "Public Service Ads".
You are given some type of identification number by the authorities.
Your nation has a standing army controlled by a central authority.
You are expected to pledge allegiance to a banner, statue or other object.
Your nation has a government ran school system which teaches children tales of "great heroes" of the regime.

Fighting Tyranny In Alabama
The Heart of Dixie is feeling the effects of the Two Headed Monster!
Currently both the GOP and Social Democrat Wings are working on a bill "apologizing" for slavery (as if any living person in the state had anything to do with it and this was still the antebellum Alabama Gov't) and the Social Democrat Wing is attempting to push a bill thru the House which will force all law abiding citizens to register all firearms with the state.
Tyranny runs wild in my home state, The JRP, Alabama and myself shall fight this insanity tooth and nail, we will begin making phone calls of protest and contacting every state official possible.

Jefferson's Platform
Jefferson's platform
Political parties in the 1790s did not issue official platforms, but our co-founder Thomas Jefferson issued a major statement in January 1799 that was widely reprinted and circulated. It became the basis of his party's philosophy and is the basis of the platform of the Jefferson Republican Party today:
…In confutation of these and all future calumnies, by way of anticipation, I shall make to you a profession of my political faith; in confidence that you will consider every future imputation on me of a contrary complexion, as bearing on its front the mark of falsehood and calumny.
I do then, with sincere zeal, wish an inviolable preservation of our present federal constitution, according to the true sense in which it was adopted by the States, that in which it was advocated by its friends, and not that which its enemies apprehended, who therefore became its enemies; and I am opposed to the monarchising its features by the forms of its administration, with a view to conciliate a first transition to a President and Senate for life, and from that to a hereditary tenure of these offices, and thus to worm out the elective principle. I am for preserving to the States the powers not yielded by them to the Union, and to the legislature of the Union its constitutional share in the division of powers.
And I am not for transferring all the powers of the States to the general government, nor all those of that government to the Executive branch. I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of officers and salaries merely to make partisans, and for increasing, by every device, the public debt, on the principle of it's being a public blessing.
I am for relying, for internal defence, on our militia solely, till actual invasion, and for such a naval force only as may protect our coasts and harbors from such depredations as we have experienced; and not for a standing army in time of peace, which may overawe the public sentiment; nor for a navy, which, by its own expenses and the eternal wars in which it will implicate us, grind us with public burthens, and sink us under them. I am for free commerce with all nations, political connection with none, and little or no diplomatic establishment.
And I am not for linking ourselves by new treaties with the quarrels of Europe; entering that field of slaughter to preserve their balance, or joining in the confederacy of kings to war against the principles of liberty. I am for freedom of religion, and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another: for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents.
And I am for encouraging the progress of science in all its branches and not for raising a hue and cry against the sacred name of philosophy. For awing the human mind by stories of raw-head & bloody bones to a distrust of its own vision, & to repose implicitly on that of others, to go backwards instead of forwards to look for improvement, to believe that government, religion, morality, and every other science were in the highest perfection in ages of the darkest ignorance, and that nothing can ever be devised more perfect than what was established by our forefathers.
To these I will add, that I was a sincere well-wisher to the success of the French revolution, and still wish it may end in the establishment of a free and well-ordered republic. But I have not been insensible under the atrocious depredations they have committed on our commerce.
