Examples of lines that can be used to redirect a conversation from Big Government to advancing liberty:

Your question may be of concern to some people in our (district/state), but in talking to voters in (town or area), what I’ve found is that they’re much more concerned about (your proposal and benefits)…

All I know is this (your proposal and benefits)…
