Campaign message 6:

Families are the fundamental unit of society. 

They are where the best things that happen to us, happen. Unfortunately, they are all too often where 

the worst things happen as well. 

I would like to think that government could 

just get out of the way and let families be, 

but everywhere we look government is 

deeply involved with families. 

Maybe we can develop some sort of a measure 

by which we can gauge the extent 

to which government is involved with families 

from one community to the next 

so we can alert ourselves as to 

when that involvement becomes counter productive. 

I’ll work on such a measure.
