Six Principles for Evaluating Legislation

1. Less Government–Does the bill tend to reduce government regulations, size of government, or eliminate?


2. Lower Taxes–Does the bill promote individuals responsibility in spending, or reduce taxes or fees?

3. Personal Responsibility–Does the bill encourage responsible behavior by individuals and families and encourage them to provide for their own health, safety, education, moral fortitude, or general welfare?

4. Individual Freedom–Does the bill increase opportunities to for individuals or families to decide, without hindrance or coercion from government how to conduct their own lives and make personal choices?

5. Stronger Families–Does the bill enhance the traditional American family and its power to rear children without excessive interference from the government?

6. Domestic Tranquility– National Defense–Does the bill enhance American security without unduly burdening civil liberty?
