Elections
“With a firm reliance on the
protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives,
our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” ~Signers of the Declaration of
Independence
In a little less than two weeks from now, the Constitutional Freedom Party will be passing our 2nd Anniversary which from the start has been committed to the preservation of the principles of what has made a strong America.
Many people have questioned the need for another party when it seems we have so
many already. I have to ask, why not another?
Some parties have been around for a long while, some only a few years. Not all parties are actual parties, although
they do a lot of work to promote good Conservative candidates and have shaken
Washington enough to be a political target.
A lot of folks follow us on twitter, many more belong to our group on Facebook and still more have liked our public Facebook page. We have a large amount of folks watching from
the sidelines to see what we do, or in other words, once we become big like Tea
Party groups, maybe they’ll join us. Maybe they might even do something to help
us. What separates us from many other groups is that we are a Party with a solid platform based on God, the Founders, the Constitution and the Founder’s intent yet we also have willingly worked within the Republican Party in hopes of reforming and returning the Party back to true Constitutional Conservatism. We are such that if the Republican GOP doesn’t change, we have a solid platform to be a legitimate 3rd Party which already built on solid ground and energized enough for the majority who are fed up with progressive politics as usual from the GOP.
Our basic platform is born out of our Judeo Christian beliefs and
we won’t waiver from them. We are unapologetically Christian and are active in
working towards recognition of our country’s Judeo Christian heritage, foundation
and principles. We also respect and trust the
Founders’ vision for a small government in which We the People are in charge.
We are a group of citizens from all walks of life from different parts of this
country who care about where this country has been heading. None of us has political
insider experience, we have no ties to bigger organizations and no lobbyist
powers nor do we desire any. We are the
grassiest roots that can be found and don’t have a budget because we require no
money or donations to join.
For the past 2 years, a few of our more active members have helped
create graphics, videos, write articles, and share everything in an effort to
educate people on our Constitutional Republic.
Our biggest efforts were in vetting candidates this past year. Out of
millions of citizens in this country, less than a dozen gave up personal time
to seek information on those running in campaigns all over the country. From California and Oregon, across the nation
to Maryland, down through the South to Florida, back over to Texas and up
through the heartland, we fully vetted candidates and matched whom we believed
held firm to Constitutional values which our Founders valued and shared.
Not everyone agreed with our choices, which is what is so great about the freedoms we still have and hold, to find those who would best represent us and our fellow citizens in Washington and State Capitals. Our candidates however were for the most part regular people, from businessmen and women, many veterans, educators and pastors. Not all of them won their primaries, and only a couple made it through the election. I am proud however of all of the candidates we rated and endorsed, and proud of the hard work accomplished to bring those we believed to be the best of the best and make those choices known to others.
Last night’s election was exciting to say the least, but many of
us were apprehensive, hoping at least for the 6 seats needed to re take the
Senate. Whether this was a referendum on
the Obama policies which have been “transforming” our nation in ways in which even
many democrats were feeling the brunt of, or whether it was people ready for a
change of scenery in Washington, it resulted in a wave which has excited people
again.
It was we the people who spoke with our votes, it was the people
who actively educated family and friends to what our government should be and
people who implored others to vote while they have a still have a free choice
to vote.
Now that we have spoken, what do we do now? Is it enough to know
that there will be a brand new Senate and Congress in January? No way. We have to be more vigilant and engaged than
ever. It’s no secret that many of Obama’s plans will have to be shoved through
while the Democrats still hold control. From amnesty, jobs and wages, to EPA
and BLM agendas and social issues, we have to make sure no more
unconstitutional and destructive plans are signed either by pen or phone. Much can be accomplished in such a short time
to further damage our republic and we need to keep watch and engage in a way
that none of these things can happen.All of the work those who have campaigned for, went door to door for, made phone calls, sent e mails and pamphlets, those who shared information, who vetted them, promoted them and voted for them- we now need to watch what they do when they head to Washington in January. We also need to watch what the present Senate and Congress do in the meantime.
The Constitutional Freedom Party is committed to holding all of
our Senate and Congress to account after they begin in January. The people returning to or going to
Washington for the first time need to know that we the people will be watching
and letting the country know what they are doing- whether they are operating under
the Constitution and committed to the Oaths they swear, or if they believe they
are going to keep to the same old same. We will hold their feet to the fire to
keep them accountable for everything. If they do a great job, we’ll be sure to
let them know how appreciated they are, if they don’t we’ll let them and the
country know that too. We need a strong
and bold leadership from the Republicans, which too many in the past have used
their power to do… nothing. From their
folding like cheap lawn chairs over Obamacare, to illegal “immigration reform”,
to the deplorable ways in which our Veterans and troops have been treated by
the administration, with silence from the majority of RINOS, this must
end. No more compromise- because
compromise only means one side folds their convictions and throws them away. We the people who elected these candidates
expect leaders, not panderers, not spineless compromisers.
For those who worry about gridlock, much like Obama did, blaming
the structural balances the Founders put in place, gridlock can be a good
thing. In fact I’d dare to say more
people would have preferred gridlock rather than the democrat party being able
to ram Obamacare down our throats.
Gridlock has what has kept more destructive legislation from being
passed, and could help with things like amnesty which some Rinos have already
capitulated to.
Think about James Madison’s Federalist #51
when he wrote, “In a single republic, all
the power surrendered by the people is submitted to the administration of a
single government; and the usurpations are guarded against by a division of the
government into distinct and separate departments.” And then again, “It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Different interests necessarily exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure.”
We also are committed to seeing that Constitutional Conservatives replace the grand old elites of the GOP in the leadership positions of both houses and to make sure we #MakeDCListen.
We can’t do this alone. It’s time to choose. It’s a brand new day,
and time to wake up and get busy. The
question is whether you will choose to help us or whether you choose some other
group. Some of the parties and organizations are moving in a similar direction
to reign in this bloated, out of control and out of touch government. We have chosen to do it based on our
platform. You may not agree with every
part of it, we know people have different ideas on many issues and we don’t
expect everyone to agree with 100 percent of what we stand on. Some folks might
believe another organization is better for them. We understand that too. We just hope folks will be active whether it’s
with us or somewhere.
We at the Constitutional Freedom Party have made a commitment to
fight for those who have fought for us, and to restore and keep our Republic.
Over 200 years ago, 56 men pledged everything they had to fight tyranny and
create our Constitutional Republic. We have been given a chance to return our nation to time tested and enduring values and principles that made this country a beacon to the rest of the world. We must not squander it by sitting back and letting others fight to re gain and retain our freedoms for us. It’s time to get involved.
