We Need Constitutional Limited Government!

We're not getting it!

Both Major Parties

Disregard the Principles and Limits

Set Forth in the Constitution!

---

 

These are times that try mens souls.

Who appointed Supreme Court Justices who chose to ignore the right to life of the child in the womb?

How did thousands of anti gun laws get on the books?

Whoauthorizes the confiscation of property where no charges are filed?

Who authorizes detaining innocent travelers at sobriety check points?

Democrats and Republicans who watch polls and count campaign contributionsbefore making what should be Constitution based decisions;that's who!

The citizens of this once great country shrink from the responsibility of only voting for candidates who, not only vow to uphold the Constitution, but have the moral inclination to honor that vow. All who stand-up now, deserve the love and thanks of man and woman.

Tyranny like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we love this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so hard won an article, as our Constitution should be lightly rated.

Our government, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right to take away one freedom after another because polls say we don't object. If being bound in that manner, is not inching us one step closer to slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth? Even the expression by our government is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to God...

Our elected officials haven't been considering Constitutional limitations when governing for several decades. I fear that "we the people" are becoming so accustomed to the loss of a little freedom here, and a little freedom there, that many of us don't recognize the cumulative effect that is taking place. Our younger generation of citizens think this is the norm; they never saw Constitutionally limited government function as intended.

Quitting this class of rule, I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who are yet determined and will nobly stand the matter out:I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on all people of every state; stand up and help us; lay your shoulder to the wheel: better to have too many quitting the two major parties than too few,when all our freedoms are at stake.

Let it be told to the future world, that in city and country enough of our number recognized our common danger; which is government by Mob Rule (government officials taking a poll before casting a vote that should be made based on constitutional limits and principle) came forth to meet and to repulse it, knowing that if we do nothing all our rights and freedoms will soon disappear.

Say not that too many rights are already gone; there is no hope, or that you don't recognize the problem; turn out to challenge what has happened to our government.Turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon providence, but"show your faith by your works" that God may bless you. Pray for God's guidance and help but, be sure, God helps those who help themselves.

It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home countries and the back, the rich and the poor will suffer or rejoice alike.

Join with me in the battle; like me, will you too, remove yourself from Republican and Democratic Party illusion. Run for office; school board, local council, county office, state, etc. we need to get our people into decision making positions. Don't want to run; you can still make a difference - help us pass out literature and man polls;get involved in our party - attend our meetings, become a policy consultant.

The heart that acts not now, may as well be dead: the blood of his children will curse his lack of foresight, as our freedoms were slowly stolen away, while he shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. It's the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

I Will Not be Silent!

My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light.Not all the treasures of this world, so far as I believe, could silence me while the country I enjoy, and the limitations our Founding Fathers put on the government they formed are being eroded; the right to have our Constitutional government protected, by our elected official, is not too much to ask. If those who take my freedoms bind me in all cases to their absolute will, am I to suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a president, a legislator, a supreme court justice; my fellow Pennsylvanian or not a Pennsylvanian: whether it be done by an individual or an army of them?

I Fear Not!

Let them call me rebel, and welcome, they say I waste my vote, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to a party whose character is that of a tyrannical government. I thank God that I fear not, I see no real cause for fear. I know our situation well, and can see the way out of it.

I have changed my loyalty to a party of principle...the Constitution Party.

By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of regaining our lost freedoms and rights;by cowardice and submission, this sad choice of a variety of evils---living in a country where we can no longer enjoy freedom of religion, speech or property rights, safe habitation; facing slavery without hope - a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of.

Look into this picture and weep over it! And if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.

We recognize and affirm the God-given dignity of the individual and believe that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Pennsylvania Declaration of Rights most clearly articulate this basic principle. To restore and preserve that fundamental human dignity, we proclaim:

That every individual has a paramount right to life from conception until natural death and the government shall not infringe upon that right.

That the right of citizens to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and others shall not be questioned.

That the freedom to own, use, exchange, control, protect, and freely dispose of property and other assets is an inseparable extension of the individual's inalienable rights.

That the primary unit of society is the family (persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption) and it must be accorded all rights and responsibilities to direct care of its members, particularly in the areas of education, health care, discipline, and the upbringing of children without government interference.

That the United States of America is a sovereign nation and therefore must maintain control over its own affairs.

That guided by Divine Providence, our Founding Fathers established this nation on Judeo-Christian principles and therefore the right to the free exercise of religious beliefs is inviolate.

That our government is one of limited, delegated powers operating as a republic within the confines of the Constitution of the United States of America. The federal government derives its authority from its sovereign citizens and it is to be their servant, not their master.
