Be Encouraged!

10/19/12

Howdy all!  You know, there is no better job in the world than being a grandparent.  You get to watch your kids in action applying all the lessons you taught them as children, on their own.  You get to play like a little kid with no regret or embarrassment.  You get to hand off the dirty diaper with a hearty laugh.  But best of all, you get to see what you have been missing from when you were a young parent yourself; like a 19 month old cherub running around the house with a glow-in-the-dark Halloween bucket on her head.

Hmmm, nice.  Ok, back to the ….

Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. ~ Psalm 103:2

I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power. ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Charles Jarvis, 1820

I am always amazed when I find a new quote from a founder that I hadn’t previously heard.  This one from Jefferson for example should be directions given to every politician, elected or appointed.  In fact, it could be an affidavit they all must sign before swearing to the oath.  Imagine the progressives and RINO’s trying to live by this.  If the people do not understand their role as the owners of our nation, then the politicians must teach them how to own the nation, instead of taking it and lording over their constituents.  Some in government want this; they really do.  But something keeps getting in the way.  I wonder if the rookie government reps are taken into some room and brainwashed or something.  In reality, I don’t expect this would or could ever happen.  So many, with the best of intentions get caught up in the rush for the next election, even if it is 4 years away.

So, how can this Jefferson Affidavit be implemented?  “We the People”, that’s how.  We have to take the government back.  It isn’t a revolution to take control of our nation.  It is revolution when the federally elected employees try to keep it from us.  Neither the Congress nor the President can set aside the Constitution.  Only the citizens of the United States can do that.  No single politician can stay as long as they want.  Only the people can install the politicians, and the people can remove them.

In 18 days, we have the opportunity, and the responsibility to decide who we keep, and who we send home.  Our responsibility is to ourselves.  When it’s time to vote, we must vote.  Until then we must inform our friends and neighbors to register for voting.  We can stump for our favorite candidate, but getting the people to vote is a crucial necessity to maintaining that safe depository. 

So, get out the vote on Nov 6.  And get out your neighbors to register.

This land is your land, this land is my land!

 

Take care, God bless and especially at this time in history,

STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
