Property rights must be upheld by all legitimate government

The right to own and acquire property has historically been understood to be an implicit part of the constitutionally guaranteed right to pursue happiness. It was clarified in the Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. As property rights are to be upheld by any legitimate government, it will be vigorously pursued in all of the legislation put forth by any Republican member elected to office. Any and all laws, policies or judicial decisions to the contrary will be repealed, rescinded or reversed. We oppose the use of asset forfeiture laws against any person who has not been convicted of a crime.

The practice of administrative law, which attempts to usurp the constitution must cease. Local governments across the country are passing hundreds of thousands of codes and regulations, which limit and restrict the ownership and use of private property. Governments at all levels are assuming and demanding a perceived, but unconstitutional right to enter private property and businesses without a warrant to search for violations of their codes and regulations.

Such administrative law is one of the most blatant violations of the constitution. The 4th amendment states, "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
