In 1776, fifty-six patriots signed a document that changed
history. In 2004, millions of citizens voted for a candidate and that vote
changed history. A portion of the principles and ideals in that 1776 Document are;
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it,……., laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety……..Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it
is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for
their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies
(States); and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their
former Systems of Government.”
Our current duty is to direct our Senators and
Representative to send a letter to our President telling him the time has come
for him to listen or go. If his executive fiats and orders are not cause for
impeachment then the time has come for the people that represent us to send a
vitriolic message to the person, Barack Obama, whom few of us know and
certainly feel is in opposition to our country.
