As a far greater number of those who have ran for political office have claimed to be for the people only to prove to the people they have little or no true desire to do for the people that elected them. It has been learned that it is only through the ideals of a Democratic nation such as ours that the ideals of freedom are often lost by those who were elected to protect such freedoms such as speech and the ability show one’s true love of his or her religion.
Thus it is the ideals of freedom have been slowly being knocked out of the existence within this country by those who pass the laws in our governments.
These ideals of the Founding Fathers of this nation as well as others who have come since it would seem are far from those who we have placed in the position to lead our nation forward as they it would seem either do not respect the grandeur of these ideals. Or perhaps it is simply the ideal of WE THE PEOPLE that they have no respect for. A statement that is made as many of the following have been and still are being ignored by those who we elect to do the bidding of WE THE PEOPLE.
CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS; OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
Article 19. The Declaration of the right of man and of the citizen as ratified 10 Dec 1948 Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object. Thomas Jefferson
I say that any effort to silence or even avoid hearing the beliefs and ideals of the people by any elected official. Is for that person to only proclaim the ideals of this Nation’s Founding fathers as being not worthy of today. Or even those who have served for the freedom the American people as our Founding Fathers desired it was to be. It is also to declare the sacrifices by our Military as not worthy of being accepted in spite of the fact the sacrifices they made are as a worthy sacrifice for the original men whose ideals founded this country.
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. Abraham Lincoln
The current ideals of government is to give into those who either are willing to yell more often and or pay to support their ideas in spite of them being for the minority of the people and not of WE THE PEOPLE. If it is of Religious beliefs they proclaim the state and religion must remain separate and yet they pass laws that prohibit or greatly restrict religion in many ways all the while also proclaiming to be members of a church. It is with such thoughts can we truly believe what our politically aspired members of this country tell us. Or are they saying only what they believe will make for a good response.
To those who we have elected to office it is best they learn and respect the following statement for the truth that it holds within the simple phrase that it is.
You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time. Abraham Lincoln
Perhaps we should be of the mind to accept the following statement as there has never been one more true in the speaker’s time nor even in ours. Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for. Will Rogers
With this let me leave you with these; words.
We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century. During the period we may be tempted to abandon some of the time-honored principles and commitments which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations. We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities - not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Jimmy Carter, in his farewell address
