[S-H]Conservative group promotes limited government
The Mississippi Center for Public Policy, a nonprofit conservative group, mailed 5,000 copies of its booklet, “Governing by Principle,” to Mississippi candidates urging them to support the concept of limited government. The group’s hope is that a conversation about appropriate limitations of government will ensue.
Among other things, the booklet says:
- “Government exists to protect rights, not create them.”
- “Individuals are ultimately responsible for governing themselves and for the consequences of their decisions.”
- “Markets should not be distorted by government-designed dictates or advantages.”
- “Government has a responsibility to protect the foundational institution of society; the marriage-based, two-parent family.”
- “Parents, not government, are responsible for the education and upbringing of their children.”

Thigpen’s group has done an extraordinary job writing this booklet, and the MCPP is doing a great job talking to candidates and voters.
