CONSTITUTIONAL IGNORANCE

constitutionConstitutional ignorance led to a tyranny of the majority. Our lack of Constitutional knowledge means that believing in protecting the rights of minorities does not actually protect them when they are outvoted.
 
Americans know too little about our Constitution to maintain the freedoms it was designed to protect. Instead, our ignorance leads us to sacrificing rights out of undue deference to majority rule.
 
America’s Constitution did not endorse majority rule. Our founders did believe in voting to select who should be entrusted with the power of government, but the more important and prior question they addressed was: “What powers do the people delegate to the federal government to exercise on their behalf?” That is why so much of the Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights, is devoted to what the government is not allowed to do, regardless of majority sentiment. As Jefferson said, our founders fought not for democracy, but for a government “tied down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” In fact, our founders had a great distrust of majority rule.

WINNING FOR WOMEN

At a time when government is viewed as out of touch, women bring alternative priorities to public life that resonate with the everyday concerns of Americans. Women work out compromises. Women are ethical. Women will fight to improve Americans’ quality of life. Women just may be our best tool to reverse growing trends of voter fatigue and frustration with government.

Yet, in today’s Congress, and indeed across most sectors of leadership, women are severely underrepresented.

Winning For Women is a 501(c)(4) supporting women leaders who believe in free-market principles and a strong national defense. Winning For Women aims to: Inform the public of national security and free-market policy that will benefit the lives of all Americans, organize and amplify the voices of women across the country who embrace such, broadening the audience for a strong conservative message, and expand the ability of right-of-center women to succeed in their pursuit of leadership opportunities, including elected office.

Winning For Women’s connected federal PAC will support free-market conservative women running for federal office. Visit the Winning for Women site to see our wonderful woman candidates for 2018.
