While I agree with your tactics for candidates I think it should be recognized that its highly unlikely the government is going to return to limiting itself to powers enumerated in the Constitution no matter who we send to Washington. The system is just too far gone. Too many are entrenched for elections to turn it around. Our government is absolutely infested with statists. Elections do not replace but a very small fraction of the seats of power at anyone time and most seats of power are not even subject to elections.

The only peaceful solution is the one provided by the founders and that is an article V convention. This takes the federal government out of the equation. The situation we currently face is the very reason the founders added the provision for states to call a convention. It's way past time to focus our effort on getting this done.

Thanks for replying.

It’s a matter of Constitution-savvy patriots getting low-information voters up to speed with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers imo.

Everybody should read Free Republic.

Enough enlightened voters could put a big dent into sending state sovereignty-ignoring lawmakers home in the 2018 elections.
