The secured rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness are the causes of liberty. To this end, governments are instituted
among men to derive their powers from the consent of the governed to establish
laws, conduct business, and define social order. "When any form of said
government becomes destructive to this end, it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its
foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." so says
the Declaration of Independence.
We are also reminded to heed prudence, to understand that
"long established governments should not be changed for light and
transient causes, and accordingly, all experience hath (has) shown, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, that to right
themselves by abolishing forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursing invariable the same object, evinces a
design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is the right, it is their
duty, to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future
security." (Declaration of Independence)
With that said, prepare your vote for November for Congress
has held this nation and its ability to move forward and conduct business,
provide a secure economic footing, and promote the welfare of its citizens at
high risk. It is time to pursue term limits. Compel its officials to civic duty
living among the means of its poorest citizens for a month to understand how
they survive since election to office secures they are living at their highest
levels. Whenever they so derail the plan for doing government business by
causing a shut down, their income, their livelihoods, shall be and should be
held in trust by the Supreme Court, interest on their funds going into the
government surplus until the deemed logjam has been solved. Congress and the
President shall not be allowed to go home, travel abroad, or engage in titillating
discussions or laying of blame on doorsteps, but deliberate as gentlemen and
ladies of the highest moral standards to resolve their differences without the
prying eyes of the media spin. Camera's permitted. These discussions, like a
court of law, shall be preserved by a sworn court reporter who will then daily
distribute copies of these statements to the media without corrections because
the public deserves to see what we, through are hard earned taxes, are paying
for.
I am now off my soap box, thank you.
