Citizens Have Lost Control of the Federal Government
from a letter published by CURRENT PUBLISHING on June 27, 2021 by reader Hans Collins
Editor,
We American citizens have lost control of our federal government. No longer do we have government of the people, by the people and for the people. We now have government of the party, by the party and for the party. Preferences of a political party have replaced preferences of the people.
The majority of citizens favor voter identification and secure elections controlled by the states, yet Congress is proposing legislation that would bring voting procedures under total control of the federal government, eliminate voter identification requirements and generally weaken the integrity of the election process.
The majority of citizens favor secure borders, yet the president has unilaterally opened the southern border, creating an invasion of thousands which threatens the security of our beloved nation.
The majority of citizens favor the rule of law and order, yet Congress and political leadership of many cities and some states are taking actions that undermine law and order processes.
The majority of citizens favor energy independence, which the nation finally achieved in recent years, yet the sitting president has unilaterally taken actions that will significantly increase our dependence on energy from foreign nations, some of which may not be on friendly terms with us.
The majority of citizens want their elected representatives to be fiscally responsible, yet Congress continues the long-standing behavior of fiscal irresponsibility.
The majority of citizens favor a strong military as a deterrent against aggression from increasingly belligerent and hostile countries, yet the president’s budget calls for a reduction in military spending.
Limited print space precludes a longer list of disparities, but from these few, it is clear the federal government is disregarding many of the desires and expectations of American citizens. Elections do have consequences.
Parental rights is most certainly somewhere on the list.
Proper government that is a proper reflection of the consent of the governed, that is a cornerstone requirement of our republic. Without it, everything quickly devolves into something unrecognizable as America. We have allowed this to happen, it is up to us to get things back on track.
We the people determine what governent we live under.
To Proper Governance!
If you share our concern over what has been taking place in our classrooms, please consider joining with us as we fight for families, for children, for education, for truth, and for common sense.
We continue to ask people whether they understand what is now taking place within our school systems. We continue to provide information and resources to help people, especially parents, gain some idea of what's being taught to kids (and why). And yes, we continue to ask people to get involved and help with the lifting.
We fight against children being taught to hate their country, to judge people based on the color of their skin, and to ignore the basic truths of biology. We fight against the sexualization in school of little ones and the destruction of the innocence of youth. Perhaps most importantly, we fight to ensure that the proper teaching of math, reading and writing remain at the forefront of a child's education.
The idea that it is parents who are responsible for raising, educating, and seeing to the well being of their kids, that is sacrosanct.
Join with us in preserving the attributes and ideals of this great nation.
Feel free to forward this newsletter to friends and family. Actually anyone who acknowledges the fundamental right of parents to raise, educate, and protect their children are invited to join with us. We are gathering a group of joyful warriors, folks who understands why (and for whom) we fight.
Think on this...
IT WILL BE OF LITTLE AVAIL TO THE PEOPLE THAT THE LAWS ARE MADE BY MEN OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, IF THE LAWS BE SO VOLUMINOUS THAT THEY CANNOT BE READ, OR SO INCOHERENT THAT THEY CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD; IF THEY BE REPEALED OR REVISED BEFORE THEY ARE PROMULGATED, OR UNDERGO SUCH INCESSANT CHANGES THAT NO MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT THE LAW IS TODAY CAN GUESS WHAT IT WILL BE TOMORROW.
- James Madison
RIGHTFUL LIBERTY IS UNOBSTRUCTED ACTION ACCORDING TO OUR WILL WITHIN LIMITS DRAWN AROUND US BY THE EQUAL RIGHTS OF OTHERS. I DO NOT ADD 'WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE LAW' BECAUSE LAW IS OFTEN BUT THE TYRANT'S WILL, AND ALWAYS SO WHEN IT VIOLATES THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
- Thomas Jefferson
WHAT REALLY MATTERS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF SOCIAL CAPITAL AND
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IS NOT MERELY NOMINAL MEMBERSHIP, BUT ACTIVE AND
INVOLVED MEMBERSHIP.

THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE TO GOVERNMENT IS SO VALUABLE ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS, THAT I WISH IT TO BE ALWAYS KEPT ALIVE.
