The Federal Octopus is a compelling narrative, painting a portrait of an ever expanding federal bureaucracy, worming its way into every aspect of public and private life.

Through examples of graft, corruption, abuse of power and usurpation of Constitutional rights, a historical snap-shot is presented, one that parallels the opening years of the 21st Century.

With panoramic sweep, a chronicle unfolds of the United States of America’s slide from Constitutional self-reliance towards an indebted welfare state, massive public spending and consolidation of centralized federal powers.

“… that the free constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained …"
--George Washington

“Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go. In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
--Thomas Jefferson

“...as governmental power increases the liberty of the citizen must correspondingly diminish ...”
--Sterling E. Edmunds

Our call to action is to heed the words of Washington and Jefferson, to be ever vigilant, and as citizens, to resist the erosion of our unique Constitutional system and American way of life.
