A Resource for Voters...
People of the Ozarks mountain region are famous for their rugged and independent spirit. That is why this site is operated by non-partisan individuals who do not support any one political party or social agenda. Instead, we offer voters a neutral point of view... A view that emphasizes the core principles and beliefs that America was founded upon: Freedom, Liberty, the Rule of Law, Consent of the Governed, and promoting the Common Good through Common Sense.This website serves as an information archive and resources portal for issues that concern voters in general, and particularily those of us in the Ozarks region of America.

Property Rights
At the core of
much of our voting decisions these days is what is
commonly known as "Property Rights." Some people
(socialists and liberals) would have you believe that it is best that
we
individuals do not own or control property ourselves, and that it is
best
left to the government, big corporations, and the "elite" that seek to
control everything because of their lust for power.
Educate yourself and learn why private property rights are important to
you, and to all freedom and liberty-loving Americans.
Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
– Fredric Bastiat (1801-1850)
America's founding fathers understood that without the individual's right to own and control property, no other rights can be protected from government tyranny. Indeed, homes, personal possessions, personal safety, unrestricted travel and free speech are all placed in jeopardy once government has established the power to control or confiscate private property through general edict. Property rights are the very foundation of a free society. Learn more about your local Ozarks Property Rights Congress.

Every wondered where YOU fit in politics?
There is a very short (and anonymous) quiz that will generally indicate where your views place you on the politcal landscape.(The quiz links to a website outside of ours, and the views expressed on that site are their own; we do not necessarily endorse their content. Nonetheless, the quiz is very useful and informative. Try it!)
Our Purpose...
It is important to realize that we must be vigilant in monitoring the activities of our elected representatives; to ensure that they are keeping their promises, and are acting in our best interests.
Likewise, it is necessary to research potential candidates, and find out their views and intentions as they relate to the most important issues we face.
Please help spread the word about our efforts here, so more people can make better informed decisions when electing those that will represent them and serve the public.it is also every voter's DUTY to make informed decisions...
Otherwise, democracy crumbles into mob rule, and the politicians with the most money and smoothest lies take control. We've seen too much of this already, and it must not continue...
