If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he may write something along the following lines.
As the popular saying goes, “Once upon a time,” we, the founding fathers, created a document that would live through the ages. We fought amongst ourselves, trying to imagine every possible scenario that the future could bring. In the end, we felt that no matter our differences, no matter our political beliefs, the document we created would last through the ages.
Because the document we created would be simple enough that all men, regardless of color, creed, or religion would be able to understand it.
The document we created would limit a federal government. It would keep its powers so simple, that any man would understand that only he, or she, would be the sole one that could dictate its powers. A document that would put the power in the hands of the people, and made the government one that would be “of the people, for the people, and by the people.”
So how could we allow our government, that should be doing what we tell it to do, become one that tells us what is best for us? I once said that “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
And I must tell you, my friend, that today there is tyranny. Today, we see a government that tells us it will pass laws that we, the people, tell them we do not want.
Today, we see a government that arbitrarily taxes us for their own pet projects. One that has told us, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we, the people, are too stupid for our own good. A government that tells us that we, the people, cannot understand the problems which affect us today. Our government is now telling us that we are too stupid for our own good, and that only our government is intelligent enough to solve all the problems that face us in this, the modern day.
As in 1775, when we sent our resolution to an overbearing government, it is time today to take up arms (our vote) and restore our government to what we, the people, have told it to be.
To this extent, I I call upon all free men and women of the age 18 and older to register to vote. Your votes shall be the ammunition we use to destroy the overbearing government we have today. Read the Constitution, read about what rights you should have. Go to the voting booth armed with knowledge; not only the knowledge of the Constitution, but with the knowledge of what those wishing to be elected to office stand for. If those who wish to become an elected official do not stand for the Constitution, don’t vote for them.
To the governors of each of the Free States within this Union, I call upon you: call upon to remember the 10th Amendment, which flat out states that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited it by the States, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” Because our government is a Federal Government, not a National or Socialist government. It is the States that are given the power, not the Union. It is the people who have the power, not the Union.
The cries of the people have gone unheard by those who believe they currently hold power. The people say “No.” The federal government says “you are too stupid for your own good, so let us do what we want anyway.” Did we not once throw such a government out of power, and become the greatest nation to ever grace this earth? It has been merely 235 years. It was due to the most important document ever created outside of the bible, the Constitution of the United States, that this was possible. How can we, the people, allow this document to become mundane?
I say “No.” This will not be. It is time, once again, for the people of this great nation to rise up and tell a rogue government that we will not allow it to ruin us for its own prosperity. It is time; once again, to tell the government we have allowed to govern us that it is not them that is in charge, it is we, the people, who control our nation. When the people say “no,” the government must listen. The government we allow to make decisions must listen to us, not tell us that we are too stupid to understand.
On July 4th, 1775, we, the founding fathers, delivered unto an unjust government a document telling them we would not stand for their hypocrisy. We told them we would not stand for a government that did not listen to the people. Now, 235 years later, it is time yet again to stand up for our rights, the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
So I implore you, the people, to once again stand up for your rights. Use your first amendment rights to free speech and tell our government without equivocation that it will do what you tell it to do, not the other way around. Use your second amendment rights to organize and use your arms to forcibly tell this oppressive government that it is you, the people, who are in the right.
For I feel that it is we, the people, who are the ones who are intelligent enough to run this great nation of ours. Politicians making deals amongst one another to pass bad bills that will drive our nation to ruin are not the intelligent ones; it is we, the people, who are intelligent enough to say “no.”
And I say “no.” No to massive government that turns we, the people, into what Communist Russia did to its people, no to the North Korean approach. No to the government telling us what we must do, and yes to us telling the government what we, the people, wish it to do.
It is time once again that we, the people, make the decisions. It is for this one purpose that we divided ourselves from oppression from British rule. Wake up, and do not let this happen again from within.
In this vein, I call upon you, the people, to once again rise to the occasion. Take up arms, and relieve this oppressive government from its so-called power. Remove all those who make the laws we cannot abide, and spend the money our great-grandchildren do not have. It is time once again to make this a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
For remember, it is we, the people, who are in charge of a federal government. It is our individual states that have been given the power. It is you and I that have been given the power. Let us use it. And use it well.
