I tell you that the great cities rest upon these broad and fertile prairies.
Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again, as if by magic;
but destroy our farms, and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.

William Jennings Bryan

I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law;
that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size.
I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom.
My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Barry Goldwater

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

Ronald Reagan

Few things about me...

I come from Veneto, where I was born some decades ago.

I am interested in electoral systems, political systems, parties and elections around the world, and especially about the United States, Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Argentina and Brazil.

In en.Wiki I have worked mostly on articles about Italian politics, political parties and elections, Brazilian political parties and elections, French political parties and factions.

I am especially proud of four of my projects: Politics of Veneto, Politics of Italian regions, Regionalist parties in Italy and Political party factions in Italy (see also Template:Italian political party factions).

In it.Wiki my username is Checco. There you will find more news about me.

As of 30 June 2009 I have made 17,418 edits in en.Wiki (mostly in mainspace), 13,978 in it.Wiki, 72 in vec.Wiki plus some edits in other Wikipedias.
