THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
America was established on very sound principles. The will of the people does not necessarily stick with those sound principles. The founders knew very well that not only politicians, but also We, the people are frivolous with the Freedom of others. It was for that reason America was not established as a democracy. As John Adams said "every democracy in history has committed suicide." The will of the people (ignoring the Constitution), as well as the will of the politicians has succeeded in getting America into the mess that it currently finds itself.
Representatives are sent to Washington to represent the constituency in maintaining their Freedom, not to represent the will of the constituency. It is very significant to note that the oath that the Representatives take is to uphold the Constitution, which most often is not the will of the people. When we speak of Representatives representing us it means all of us, not just the noisier of us. It is near impossible for make a law that helps one group without hurting another group. Therefore, in order for Representatives to protect all of us, equally, they cannot make a law for this group one time and for that group another time. It would not uphold the oath that they took.
The will of the people is very obvious when one looks at the history of elections in America. The people flip back and forth from Democrats to Republicans for the Presidency and then do the same flip flop with congressmen and senators. Keeping America safe and Free and stable does not allow for this flip flopping. The stability of Freedom is what will return America's sanity and comfort. It takes the consistent FOCUS ON FREEDOM to maintain stability.
The current problem that saturates the news, and therefore the thinking of many Americans, is the budget crisis and taxes. Although it is major to the stability of America it is subordinate to and is encompassed by the main issue, which is Freedom. We are no longer Free in America. The people in the government can manipulate us any way they desire. They can raise taxes to 50% or 70% or whatever, or tell us what doctor to go to, or what we can eat, or whatever. There is no limit to what they can do to us with the usurped powers that were not authorized in the Constitution. The Tea Party Movement is concentrating their efforts on the taxes part of our lives which is a welcomed revolution. With the momentum of the TPM it would do well for the people to expand their horizons and raise the bar to FOCUS ON FREEDOM, the all inclusive wishes most Americans, and remembering that "if all are not Free, none are Free."
Let us not commit suicide. Let us rise up and be Free. Let us FOCUS ON FREEDOM and return to the country of the American Dream. We should all join in on this opportunity to support the TPM and force this government back into the Constitution.
FOCUS ON FREEDOM
