We The People elect our officials from among ourselves.. from the highest level of government to the lowest levels of government. We cannot expect more of them than we expect of ourselves: Sacred Honor, Respect for All Life, and Respect for the rule of law with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence We The People are the solutions to our problems. We cannot depend on our government to do it for us. They must follow our lead.
We want honorable Government Leaders who lead by example. Our Government leaders are expected to be the most civilized people of We The People. We elect our Government Officials to represent We The People and to work together for the good of all of us………not just for one particular political party. Washington seems to have forgotten this!
Currently, the two political parties are not even working together in the same room when it comes to health care–Disgraceful behavior for elected, civilized leaders of the free world.
When you vote on Election Day, I urge you to vote for the most honorable person running.
If they can’t work together for the good of all Americans and not just for the good of
the party (doesn’t matter which one), do we really want to vote them back in office?
One party is shutting out the other party. We are all Americans. We should all be included.
After all, they want to put their hand in the pocket of all of We The People who have any money.
If incumbents have been in office for 25 years, are they really worthy of being re-elected again?
Our current problems have existed for more than 25 years! God has been with us since the
first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. Our current leaders are taking God out
of everything and reversing what historically our nation has stood for.
God is not a religion….God is our Creator and we became the Greatest Nation on Earth under his guidance. We do not want to be, and have never been, an atheist nation.
The American Dream is the freedom to reach and strive for whatever you want to be. The freedom to be rewarded
for honest, hard work. We are the beacon to the world. Don’t forget, along with freedoms, which are not free, come civic duties to be honorable, self-reliant, self-governed, law-abiding citizens.
Sacred Honor and Good Character traits are required of all of us….We The People and our Government Officials.
If Congressmen and Senators vote for bills they don’t even read, should they be voted back in?
They do not even know if the bill they voted on was the bill the President signed because
they did not read it! They are spending trillions of dollars from 2 or 3 generations out! Is
that fair to our children? What kind of honorable leadership is that? Both parties did it.
You cannot keep spending money you don’t have to dig yourself out of a hole. It doesn’t
work in real life and it won’t work with the Government spending money it doesn’t have.
It is called robbing from future generations…our children and our grandchildren and maybe
their children. The only way to keep from getting into a deeper hole is to STOP DIGGING!
STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DO NOT HAVE.
The beauty of capitalism,
is, if your business is not good enough to make it, you fail. There are plenty of others who
will step in and take your place and do a better job……..if the government stays out of it.
Our founding fathers based our entire freedom and their lives on the following
information which is the last sentence in our Declaration of Independence signed July 4, 1776.
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine
John Hancock
Do our current elected officials live up to these standards? Do you trust them?
We don’t need term limits. We need honorable We The People to do our civic duty and
elect worthy officials. We The People, the silent majority, can no longer sit quietly on
the sidelines. The train is heading off the track. We must exercise our civic duty and get
involved with who is running our country. We must know who these people are. We must elect
honorable people who are true to their word. We must be true to our word. We must teach our
children about truth and honesty and being true to your word. Currently, we have elected officials who
tell us what we want to hear, but they are not telling us the truth. Do your own math.
I haven’t mentioned political parties by name because it doesn’t matter which party. All
that matters is that We The People elect honorable people to our public offices.
Following is the actual Declaration of Independence. They created a whole severance package
that has lasted over 200 years and it didn’t take 1500 pages to do it. It is talking about
the King of
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
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,
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Halloween is a time for fun. It is also a time to remain respectful as well as frightful.
Humor can put people at ease or hurt their feelings. Analyze your motives for teasing. Don’t try to cover an insult with, “I was only joking!” (bet you can put a name to someone who said this) Express your sense of humor with a kind heart. It’s only funny if everyone is laughing.
Remember, We The People, decide what is best for our nation. No matter what the current costumes are, or what the teenagers want to wear, the adults are in charge and must lead by example. You make the decisions. Not the retailers nor the movies.
Respectful behavior says avoid the “too-toos” in your clothing for business and social life: too low-cut, too short, too transparent, too tight, too revealing. As Hollywood designer Edith Head said, “Your clothes should be tight enough to show you’re a woman, and loose enough to show you’re a lady.”
Above tips brought to you by “A Year of Good Manners” by Margery Sinclair and Jan Polk
Stay Safe and take care of yourself……the government cannot do it for you……they can only come in and pick up the pieces.
We say throw a Halloween Party and skip the trick or treating.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
