Think of yourselves as an American (not a political party)
If as a citizen of these United States you have a desire to save and preserve the tenets of our founding, then consider putting aside what loyalty you think you have with a particular political party and begin thinking of yourself not as a Republican or Democrat but as an American.
Not as a white American or an African American or a Christian or a Jew or Muslim American- just an American. By embracing this true standing of citizenship we can get back to a life and a lifestyle that our Declaration and Constitution affords us under a democratic republic and provides a government that is truly one that is controlled by the people and for the people and only affords those powers to our governments at every level that sustains and protects us.
It’s about time we citizens hold our elected officials to the oath they take; to obey our laws and protect and defend the Constitution; and when they don’t, they are smartly dismissed with consequences.
We are quickly entering a new election cycle; get involved, get to know those who are running for office, for the right and privilege to represent YOU, then make sure they do.
