Take the Citizen Pledge

by

NH Tea Party 

 

One of the results of the various activist groups working together in the Tea Party movement has been the development of a new pledge here in New Hampshire. No- this isn’t something to replace the venerable anti-broadbased tax pledge long taken by Granite State politicians seeking election. In fact, it isn’t a pledge designed for the politicians, although they are all urged to sign it… This is a pledge for US- THE PEOPLE to sign and adhere to. Developed by the NH Tea Party Coalition, this new pledge is a CITIZEN document, designed as a reminder that, at the end of the day, it is up to each individual to participate in self government by choosing wisely who we elect…

 

Citizen Pledge

  

The Citizens Pledge

Whereas, the people of New Hampshire, having been denied the right of proper redress, have come to a point of collective financial ruin. Many of our legislators are guilty of voting for excessive taxation, abusing the public trust, and being willfully ignorant of our Constitution. Further, said legislators have demonstrated a lack of fiscal restraint and proper propriety toward public monies. This has left the people stripped of their God- given and Constitutionally guaranteed rights; and exposed them, their families, and their communities to the winds of chance. Though normally prudent and self-sustaining, many members of the citizenry now find themselves removed from respectable and honest employment, through no fault of their own. Such a situation can no longer be tolerated.

Be it known, that the people, in exerting their rights, do hereby pledge the following;

1] That we shall assemble at the proper time for voting, and shall vote out of office those who have so abused us.

2] That we shall replace these representatives with others who respect our Constitution, the rule of law, and the public trust.

3] That these newly-elected representatives shall be held to the highest standards of accountability; and, if found unworthy, shall then be turned out at the next election.

Thus, the people shall exercise their God-given and Constitutionally guaranteed rights to force their government to return to fiscal prudence and personal integrity.
This, the undersigned, do solemnly swear.

You can download a copy of the pledge to sign by clicking here. Print it, sign it, and put it on your fridge or some other place where you can see it often, so that you know what your duty is come voting time. Along with that, make copies of your signed pledge and hand them out to your elected officials– let them know that they are on notice that, if they are culpable in the damage being brought down upon our state and country, they’re gone!
