I’m From the Government and I’m Here to Help!

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are:

“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” President Reagan said it with a smile, but no one missed the message.

Those words are a warning—wrapped in charm, cloaked in truth. They remind us that a bloated bureaucracy is often more dangerous than benevolent. Every overreach, every regulation disguised as compassion, chips away at liberty.

Yet that warning, uttered decades ago, still echoes today.

We live in a time when government is everywhere: watching, taxing, regulating, and promising. Always promising. But freedom doesn’t come from Washington. It rises from within. It is born in the hearts of individuals, not committees. It is defended not by slogans, but by resolve.

We do not reject order or law. We reject the lie that the state is our savior. We do not exist to serve the state—the state exists to serve us. And we will hold it to account. In the spirit of President Reagan, with the eyes of history upon us, we take our stand at the crossroads.

"Liberty is not carved in stone. Rather, it is written in the hearts of free men."
