Advocate for Smaller Government

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.” -Thomas Jefferson

The founders of the United States understood that senseless, over-reaching bureaucracy was not compatible with protecting individual freedoms.

The Bluegrass Institute believes that:

• Government serves at the will of the people, not the other way around

• The proper role of government is to protect liberties

• Government should be restrained by founding principals outlined in the Constitution

• The more localized a government can be, the better

• What belongs to everyone tends to fall into disrepair but what belong to the individual, the individual tends to take care of
