Bay13 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Election time is drawing near. It would be wise to listen closely to each candidates' ideas of government's role in our lives.No matter your political philosophy, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or Independent, I am sure you consider yourself an American. Our Government was formed for a reason. That reason was freedom. Our Government was formed to protect our rights to life, freedom and our property.Our government is a constitutional republic. The pledge of allegiance does not say " to the democracy for which it stands." It says "to the republic for which it stands." The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It is the document that gives our government its authourithy to govern us citizens. If the authority for a governing task is not given our government in the Constitution, then our government can not constitutionally (legally) perform that task. You cannot believe in our form of government and not believe in the Constitution any more than you can be a Christian and not believe in the Bible. Listen closely to the politicians. See if the things they are promising are Constitutional. For instance, nowhere in our Constitution does our government have the authority to take property from one citizen and give it to another. Yet most of the political promises are based on taking tax money from one citizen and giving it to another citizen. The Constitution does not give the government authority to turn over decisions making to the United Nations or anyone other than elected officials sworn to uphold our constitution. When our officials are sworn in they swear to obey and defend the constitution. The United Nations is not a friend of our Constitution.As an American , I am sure you have read and studied and believe in the Constitution of the United States. Before you decide on where to place your vote, read or re-read the Constitution. It takes little time and regardless of what lawyers and politicians may tell you, it was written to be easily understood. Make your vote for freedom, not government oppression.Alan McKayBuckhead, Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Very well said!!! Vote for the candidate, not the idealogy of the party he hails from. And for being an American's sake, Vote! Too many people sacrificed too much for anyone to take anything for granted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckV986 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Nice post. And I think it is sad that more people don't take advantage of their rights. I think many don't realise that they can have a say in what they government does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
