We the People
12/29/2011
First of all it must be understood when a freshman goes to Washington the leadership corrals them and lays down the law to them about toeing the line or else. Threatening such as no bill you present will come out of committee or we will not support your campaign if you don’t do like we say. It is for this reason I have been calling for a wholesale clean out of Washington to level the playing field and send a very strong message we ain’t gonna put up with it any longer. Another thing that I consider to be critical is we the people must enforce term limits to limit the influence/power of lobbyist and others pulling on the coattails of our elected.
This is my Tea Party position if you want to call it that!
It is the career politician folks that impose laws upon us and exclude themselves, it is career politicians that take advantage of insider information for stocks and other investments to enrich themselves at our expense and give themselves retirement benefits and salaries not accessible to anyone else in America. Many go there near paupers and leave millionaires or in other words they are there for personal gain. Of course this is wrong but that is how it works with both parties. These freshman that allow themselves to be overwhelmed by their leadership have proved he is there for the long haul so by virtue of this fact alone he has disqualified himself to further represent his constituency and should be fired and replaced by someone that doesn’t let career aspirations cloud their thinking but only what the people he is supposed to represent demand of him.
I don’t know if what I have been advocating has gained any ground or not but deep down I feel I know what it is going to take to turn things around and that is to put good honest people in government. The best chance of this happening is to allow only Christians born of the water and spirit with the backbone to take on these devils that have control of our government. This means men going there without career aspirations but only citizen legislators there to challenge the evil that has overtaken our capitol city. It is ours believe it or not but as Ben Franklin told a woman who asked…. AT THE CLOSE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government the Constitution was bringing into existence. Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
John Jay: (December 12, 1745 – May 17, 1829) was an American politician, statesman, revolutionary, diplomat, a Founding Father of the United States, and the first Chief Justice of the United States (1789–95).Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
Exodus 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Proverbs 29:2 when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
This means if we don’t exercise our rights as laid out in the Declaration of Independence we are on the verge of losing our freedoms and that is not an exaggeration.
The Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Now what part of that can anyone not understand?
Now what part of that needs further explanation? We all either take on the leadership role entrusted to us by God for our families to stand for what is right or continue to allow Satan and his Imps to control our lives it is that simple.
James Madison
Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.
Ben Franklin
At a time when the Continental Congress threatened to unravel from dissension over the adoption of the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin urged his colleagues to apply “to the Father of lights to illuminate our understanding.” Franklin argued, “We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel…. I therefore beg leave to move that, henceforth, prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessing on our deliberation be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business.”
Ben Franklin Statesman, Inventor, Author, Letter to Dr. Price
John Adams
John Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence, a judge, diplomat, signer of the Bill of Rights, and second President of the United States said, “Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.” Adams went further, declaring, “So great is my veneration of the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectful members of society.”
