I played for Joe Gibbs, who is probably the greatest coach that I can think of in the NFL, 'cause every time I went into his office to speak to him, he had his game plan laid out on his desk, and that was the [[Bible]].  Now, our game plan is the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]].  All we gotta get back to is following and honoring the Constitution of the [[United States of America]] and we can resolve all of our problems.<ref>[[Rush Limbaugh]].

Clint Didier believes it is time to begin backing the federal government out of farm subsidy programs and let farmers become self-sufficient by building their own internal insurance and cooperative relief programs. Doing so, Clint Didier says this will guarantee the American public an abundant food supply of the finest quality at the lowest price in a truly free-trade environment.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqOWhUG9bq0&feature=player_embedded Clint Didier on Agriculture], [[YouTube]] Video, (2010).</ref>

===Government Growth===

===Government Growth===

According to history, the greatest threat to freedom and individual liberty is growth of government. Many federal government agencies and programs are simply solutions in search of a problem – government jobs with no real need or goal. For example, [[Social Security]] was supposed to be temporary. In l960, there were about l00 government agencies. In 2010, there are well over l,500. Clint Didier has said that he wants to work towards giving back the power to the states and local governments – along with the money.  Didier stated, "If not authorized by the Constitution, it will be a NAY vote from me."<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IATc9P_Qic&feature=player_embedded Clint Didier on Government Growth], [[YouTube]] Video, (2010).</ref>

During 2009, Clint Didier became increasingly concerned about the political direction of the United States as a nation, and he became involved in the [[grassroots]] [[Tea Party Movement]].<ref>Andrew Garber.

Didier said that the political battle will extend over the next several years, and that the next three elections – 2010, 2012, and 2014 – will be crucial in determining America’s future, according to ''Red County''.

According to his campaign Web site, Didier said he understands that even more American citizens are opposed to putting government [[bureaucracy]] between them and their [[doctor]]. Didier does not believe ObamaCare will cost less or create more efficiency within the system; this is further evidenced by other [[socialist|socialized]] government health care plans already in place, such as in [[Canada]], where their citizenry are coming across the border seeking medical treatment in the United States. Clint Didier does not agree with current politicians who only seem to argue over how much they are willing to tax and regulate the people to make a government takeover of health care in America happen.
