We the people…
“This Declaration of Rights is declared to be a part of this Constitution, and shall never be violated on any pretence whatsoever. And in order to guard against the transgression of the high powers which we have delegated, we declare that every thing in this bill of rights contained, and every other right not hereby delegated, is reserved to the People.” Preamble Texas Declaration of Rights
Howdy fellow Texans,
Remember the “good ol’ days” when Texans used to close deals based on a hand shake, or one’s word? In today’s society we the people must utilize attorneys to draw up contracts filled with legal jargon that most laymen have no idea what they’re signing up for. Ironically, we do take the attorney’s word of mouth as to the contents of the contract. Essentially, the credibility of the average Texan has been overshadowed as we place our faith and trust in “the professionals.”
The blessings:
It is safe to say that the majority of us today come from a lineage of immigrants from other countries which came to America to seek a better life, quality education, liberties and freedoms that their homeland did not support. As we all are aware, the Constitution coupled with the Bill of Rights’ are in place to limit government powers over the people and ensure all Americans have access to these opportunities for generations to come. We the people were given a gift, a gift we must protect at all costs.
The problem:
Since the 1800’s the “political machine” has been evolving into a runaway train consuming everything in its path in the wake of money, power and ultimately greed. In its plight to remove the power from we the people and achieve power over the people, it has finally succeeded, or at least the current administration in its warped thinking believes so!
How did it get so powerful, so fast, and place the American people in such a submissive state, surrendering the very liberties and freedoms our founders and forefathers sacrificed so much for? The answer is simple, we the people!
For decades, we the people have been placing the destiny of our future in the hands of “the professionals” with our most fundamental and critical rights as Americans. Whether it is from political parties, friends, popular people, etc. We seek direction from all of the incorrect places. Sure, it is human nature to search the easier path for the opinion of others and find a scapegoat or someone to blame when things go awry. And usually it is the head of a business, an organization, or the president of the United States. But the root cause falls right back in our laps, we the people.
Accepting responsibility:
If we are going to fix this situation we find ourselves in, we the people must take an honest, hard look in the mirror. We the people must accept full responsibility for voting for all of the wrong reasons:
- We have voted for particular parties, because we have always been told something like, “as long as the XXXX party wins we’ll be ok.”
- We the people must accept responsibility for voting for candidates because they are popular, or “professionals” then to find out that they become entrenched with the corruption, or lack the like minded support to overcome it.
- We the people must accept responsibility for taking candidates at face value and believing what they say. Too many times it has never been about the people, rather promises made and promises broken. A person’s actions speak so loud they cannot be heard.
Yes, it is members from both of the 2-party establishment that are responsible for stripping our freedoms and liberties away from the grip of Americans. With little or no accountability from the party supporting them. But ultimately, it is we the people who put them in that position and allowed this to happen over and over again. How can we expect to hold our representatives accountable if we are unable to hold ourselves accountable?
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” Does this quote by George Washington sound familiar?
The solution:
What are we the people going to do about it? The Constitution is one of two effective resources provided to us centuries ago to qualify candidates. If we would only utilize this blessing to judge one’s character and stances. That’s not to say a candidate qualified as a Conservative when we elected them, then they fall into the surrounding tyrants once elected. But in reality, how many true Conservatives do we know of that have honestly done that? Only a handful? Therefore, the chances are slim. In addition, when our Conservative elected public servants do choose the wayward path of tyranny and deceit, what do we the people do about it? For one, the party should hold them accountable, which never happens from the two major parties. Secondly, we the people should follow through. It’s not over when we successfully elect our candidate, in fact that’s just the beginning. Just as a CEO of a corporation monitors its employees, we must constantly monitor the performance of our representatives. If we find them straying away from Constitutional principles, promises, or obligations we the people must act right then and find a replacement.
The second effective resource is the Word of God. There are two things which are non-negotiable, God’s Word and the Constitution!
Similar to the Constitution, God commands us to take action first, then the gifts will be given.
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Joshua 1:8
Only if we protect the Constitution first, then it too will protect us.
Taking action:
To rectify this mess, we must return to the basics.
- First, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Turn to God FIRST when seeking advice, trust Him not our own logic.
- Secondly, Texas Constitution Art. 1, Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.
If we the people would have been actively working our inalienable right over the past decades we wouldn’t be here now.
With the 2022 primary elections are on the horizon it is imperative that we the people go to the polls, not only show up to perform our right to vote and our duty to fight tyranny, but we must also remove the red and blue blinders and zero in on what’s really important, the candidates! Starting at the local governmental levels all of the way up, it is our duty to know every candidate we vote for and have a clear understanding why we are voting for them.
We must protect election integrity to protect our liberties and freedoms. Does your candidate support election audits? There is absolutely no reason not to! This is our voice, we the people. Just as a CEO of a corporation conducts annual audits for company compliance, good or bad, win or lose it’s all about integrity. We must also have representation who will protect our sacred right to a fair election!
Do our candidates absolutely support our constitutional rights? Or do they want to infringe on the constitution, as seen in DC, or even in the slightest right here in Texas? As stated in the Texas Bill of Rights preamble above, “…shall never be violated on any pretence whatsoever.” There is absolutely no justification to infringe on the constitution.
The Texas Conservative Party is dedicated to researching and promoting true Conservatives within the great State of Texas. What makes a true Conservative? A true Conservative understands it is a way of life, not a catch phrase or marketing tool. A true Conservative has Godly beliefs, family values and they stand firm on unwavering principles. The Texas Conservative Party is offering a challenge when you go to the polls in March. Let’s do something very uncomfortable, let’s step out of our comfort zones, avoid the ways of the past. Let’s honestly seek God first, then let’s qualify our employees and only give the job to those who have proven themselves worthy to serve us, we the people. Regardless of party affiliation, popularity, peer pressure, etc.
Liberty, Integrity, Victory,
Michael Aikins/Chairman
Texas Conservative Party
