Hey Washington, get off my lawn!

Over 50% of Americans are in agreement: our government has gotten too big.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 54% of Americans say that the federal government has grown too much, and is too involved in the lives of American citizens.

According to an article from today’s Washington Times, “respondents were uncomfortable with “the government having too many laws, being too involved in citizens lives, threatening freedom of speech, imposing health care laws, and being ‘socialist’ in general.”

With the ongoing Benghazi and IRS scandals that the Obama Administration is currently embroiled in, it’s no surprise that the American public is sick and tired of the way that Washington operates.

And the apprehension has only gotten worse – in 2004, 30% of Americans thought that the federal government poses a threat to our daily rights and freedoms. Today, that number has risen to 46%.

The American people are tired of our overreaching, big-government agenda – it’s time that the Obama Administration had a reality check.
