===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 wants to work towards giving back the power to the states and local governments – along with the money.  Didier has 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]</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]]. Didier is greatly encouraged by the Tea Party movement and other expressions of citizen disapproval with the direction of the nation. “You are seeing people rising up,” Didier told [[Steve Beren]] of ''Red County''.<ref>[[Steve Beren]].

Nor will it be decided in just one election cycle. Didier believes that the 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.
