Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher

Freedom of speech and religion and the right to carry arms are guaranteed, "unlimited" rights. Smuggling those into the debate is a form of the straw man fallacy. Voting, on the other hand, is a limited right. One must be at least 18 and not a citizen of a state or of a territory of the United States. Most states add the further restriction that one must not be a convicted felon unless one's rights have been restored. The states can add a restriction on welfare recipients, so long as it is clear that the restrictions are not "racially targeted' (15th Amendment) or gender related (19th Amendment).
