Distressing politics adversely affect daily lives and hinder our future plans. My quest is sharing things explicit in guiding the conduct of government without regard to political party persuasions. Our Constitutional freedoms allowed America’s emulation around the globe, for which we fought and died. Without them, our America would not exist.
Cleaving to the 1789 Constitution of the United States with Amendments is imperative. Although a secular document, it is the sacrosanct legal route of our nation as is the Bible, for most, the route of spiritual life.
Those elected to Congress, whether Senators or Members of the House, took their formal oaths to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, as did our President for his inauguration. If their oaths are not honored, they and he would loom as a menace to the United States and its people.
Article IV, Section 4, provides a “guarantee” to every state a Republican Form of Government within their borders. The guarantee is unlimited; yet political favors and financial advantages fatten those states devoted to Washington; and deny those who differ, clearly violating the “guarantee” of state government.
The 10th Amendment articulates the United States has only limited powers given or delegated to it. All other powers not denied the states are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Washington is denied tyrannical power through crafty speech and political oratory to ignore over 200 years of our Constitution’s heritage. America may age but “We The People” must actively refuse to let it and our Constitution die by whatever powerful and peaceful political means are available. Never Give Up!!
