The naked truth is that politicians are paid agents. They do and say what gets them elected and keeps them in office. As a voter and fund contributor, you are important.
Let them know how you feel and how you are going to treat them if they sell their services and betray you. Hold them accountable at all levels of government, from the local city council to the occupier of the White House.
President Washington’s fears for the future of America were justified, particularly, his concerns with respect to our political parties.
“Washington warned of “the baneful effects of the SPIRIT OF PARTY.” To Washington POLITICAL PARTIES were a deep threat to the health of the nation for they allowed “a small but artful and enterprising minority” to “put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party.”
My fellow Americans, we have a great country, troubled by numerous challenges. We can ill afford to become complacent or disheartened. If we band together in a common cause with devotion to our nation’s principles and values, especially our Constitution, we can meet and defeat any threat of any type or magnitude.
Past generations of Americans have always done so successfully and this generation of Americans must do no less. America is worth fighting for.
