1 The period for a new election of a citizen, to administer the executive government of the United States, being not far distant, and the time actually arrived, when your thoughts must be employed designating the person, who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprize you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made.

2 I beg you at the same time to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence in my situation might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest, no deficiency of grateful respect for your past kindness, but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both.

3 The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in, the office to which your suffrages have twice called me, have been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a deference for what appeared to be your

desire. I constantly hoped, that it would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with motives, which I was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that retirement, from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The strength of my inclination to do this, previous to the last election, had even led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you; but mature reflection on the then perplexed and critical posture of our affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to my confidence impelled me to abandon the idea.

4 I rejoice, that the state of your concerns, external as well as internal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible with the sentiment of duty, or propriety; and am persuaded, whatever partiality may be retained for my services, that, in the present circumstances of our country, you will not disapprove my determination to retire.

5 The impressions, with which I first undertook the arduous trust, were explained on the proper occasion. In the discharge of this trust, I will only say, that I have, with good intentions, contributed towards the organization and administration of the government the best exertions of which a very fallible judgment was capable. Not unconscious, in the outset, of the inferiority of my qualifications, experience in my own eyes, perhaps still more in the eyes of others, has strengthened the motives to diffidence of myself; and every day the increasing weight of years admonishes me more and more, that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me as it will be welcome. Satisfied, that, if any circumstances have given peculiar value to my services, they were temporary, I have the consolation to believe, that, while choice and prudence invite me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not forbid it.

6 In looking forward to the moment, which is intended to terminate the career of my public life, my feelings do not permit me to suspend the deep acknowledgment of that debt of gratitude, which I owe to my beloved country for the many honors it has conferred upon me; still more for the steadfast confidence with which it has supported me; and for the opportunities I have thence enjoyed of manifesting my inviolable attachment, by services faithful and persevering, though in usefulness unequal to my zeal. If benefits have resulted to our country from these services, let it always be remembered to your praise, and as an instructive example in our annals, that under circumstances in which the passions, agitated in every direction, were liable to mislead, amidst appearances sometimes dubious, vicissitudes of fortune often discouraging, in situations in which not unfrequently want of success has countenanced the spirit of criticism, the constancy of your support was the essential prop of the efforts, and a guarantee of the plans by which they were effected. Profoundly penetrated with this idea, I shall carry it with me to my grave, as a strong incitement to unceasing vows that Heaven may continue to you the choicest tokens of its beneficence; that your union and brotherly affection may be perpetual; that the free constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained; that its administration in every department may be stamped with wisdom and virtue; than, in fine, the happiness of the people of these States, under the auspices of liberty, may be made complete, by so careful a preservation and so prudent a use of this blessing, as will acquire to them the glory of recommending it to the applause, the affection, and adoption of every nation, which is yet a stranger to it.

7 Here, perhaps I ought to stop. But a solicitude for your welfare which cannot end but with my life, and the apprehension of danger, natural to that solicitude, urge me, on an occasion like the present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your frequent review, some sentiments which are the result of much reflection, of no inconsiderable observation, and which appear to me all-important to the permanency of your felicity as a people. These will be offered to you with the more freedom, as you can only see in them the disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly have no personal motive to bias his counsel. Nor can I forget, as an encouragement to it, your indulgent reception of my sentiments on a former and not dissimilar occasion.

8 Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.

9 The unity of Government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquillity at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very Liberty, which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee, that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the Palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion, that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.

10 For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of american, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts, of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.

11 But these considerations, however powerfully they address themselves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those, which apply more immediately to your interest. Here every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding and preserving the Union of the whole.

12 The North, in an unrestrained intercourse with the South, protected by the equal laws of a common government, finds, in the productions of the latter, great additional resources of maritime and commercial enterprise and precious materials of manufacturing industry. The South, in the same intercourse, benefiting by the agency of the North, sees its agriculture grow and its commerce expand. Turning partly into its own channels the seamen of the North, it finds its particular navigation invigorated; and, while it contributes, in different ways, to nourish and increase the general mass of the national navigation, it looks forward to the protection of a maritime strength, to which itself is unequally adapted. The East, in a like intercourse with the West, already finds, and in the progressive improvement of interior communications by land and water, will more and more find, a valuable vent for the commodities which it brings from abroad, or manufactures at home. The West derives from the East supplies requisite to its growth and comfort, and, what is perhaps of still greater consequence, it must of necessity owe the secure enjoyment of indispensable outlets for its own productions to the weight, influence, and the future maritime strength of the Atlantic side of the Union, directed by an indissoluble community of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by which the West can hold this essential advantage, whether derived from its own separate strength, or from an apostate and unnatural connexion with any foreign power, must be intrinsically precarious.

13 While, then, every part of our country thus feels an immediate and particular interest in Union, all the parts combined cannot fail to find in the united mass of means and efforts greater strength, greater resource, proportionably greater security from external danger, a less frequent interruption of their peace by foreign nations; and, what is of inestimable value, they must derive from Union an exemption from those broils and wars between themselves, which so frequently afflict neighbouring countries not tied together by the same governments, which their own rivalships alone would be sufficient to produce, but which opposite foreign alliances, attachments, and intrigues would stimulate and embitter. Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty. In this sense it is, that your Union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other.

14 These considerations speak a persuasive language to every reflecting and virtuous mind, and exhibit the continuance of the union as a primary object of Patriotic desire. Is there a doubt, whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? Let experience solve it. To listen to mere speculation in such a case were criminal. We are authorized to hope, that a proper organization of the whole, with the auxiliary agency of governments for the respective subdivisions, will afford a happy issue to the experiment. It is well worth a fair and full experiment. With such powerful and obvious motives to Union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason to distrust the patriotism of those, who in any quarter may endeavour to weaken its bands.

15 In contemplating the causes, which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by Geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavour to excite a belief, that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burnings, which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those, who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection. The inhabitants of our western country have lately had a useful lesson on this head; they have seen, in the negotiation by the Executive, and in the unanimous ratification by the Senate, of the treaty with Spain, and in the universal satisfaction at that event, throughout the United States, a decisive proof how unfounded were the suspicions propagated among them of a policy in the General Government and in the Atlantic States unfriendly to their interests in regard to the mississippi; they have been witnesses to the formation of two treaties, that with Great Britain, and that with Spain, which secure to them every thing they could desire, in respect to our foreign relations, towards confirming their prosperity. Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the union by which they were procured? Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren, and connect them with aliens?

16 To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a Government for the whole is indispensable. No alliances, however strict, between the parts can be an adequate substitute; they must inevitably experience the infractions and interruptions, which all alliances in all times have experienced. Sensible of this momentous truth, you have improved upon your first essay, by the adoption of a Constitution of Government better calculated than your former for an intimate Union, and for the efficacious management of your common concerns. This Government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true Liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish Government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established Government.

17 All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels, and modified by mutual interests.

18 However combinations or associations of the above description 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.

19 Towards the preservation of your government, and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the constitution, alterations, which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown. In all the changes to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments, as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard, by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hypothesis and opinion; and remember, especially, that, for the efficient management of our common interests, in a country so extensive as ours, a government of as much vigor as is consistent with the perfect security of liberty is indispensable. Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, little else than a name, where the government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the society within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of person and property.

20 I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally.

21 This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

22 The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

23 Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

24 It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

25 There is an opinion, that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in Governments of a Monarchical cast, Patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.

26 It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution, in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the Guardian of the Public Weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way, which the constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for, though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield.

27 Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

28 It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who, that is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric ?

29 Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.

30 As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is, to use it as sparingly as possible; avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it; avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts, which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burthen, which we ourselves ought to bear. The execution of these maxims belongs to your representatives, but it is necessary that public opinion should cooperate. To facilitate to them the performance of their duty, it is essential that you should practically bear in mind, that towards the payment of debts there must be Revenue; that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant; that the intrinsic embarrassment, inseparable from the selection of the proper objects (which is always a choice of difficulties), ought to be a decisive motive for a candid construction of the conduct of the government in making it, and for a spirit of acquiescence in the measures for obtaining revenue, which the public exigencies may at any time dictate.

31 Observe good faith and justice towards all Nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and Morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a great Nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt, that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages, which might be lost by a steady adherence to it ? Can it be, that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its Virtue? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! is it rendered impossible by its vices ?

32 In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.

33 So likewise, a passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite Nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the Nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained; and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.

34 As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent Patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practise the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the Public Councils! Such an attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and powerful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.

35 Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens,) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove, that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.

36 The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.

37 Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

38 Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far off, when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality, we may at any time resolve upon, to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

39 Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?

40 It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.

41 Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

42 Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing, with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the government to support them, conventional rules of intercourse, the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances shall dictate; constantly keeping in view, that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.

43 In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course, which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations. But, if I may even flatter myself, that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.

44 How far in the discharge of my official duties, I have been guided by the principles which have been delineated, the public records and other evidences of my conduct must witness to you and to the world. To myself, the assurance of my own conscience is, that I have at least believed myself to be guided by them.

45 In relation to the still subsisting war in Europe, my Proclamation of the 22d of April 1793, is the index to my Plan. Sanctioned by your approving voice, and by that of your Representatives in both Houses of Congress, the spirit of that measure has continually governed me, uninfluenced by any attempts to deter or divert me from it.

46 After deliberate examination, with the aid of the best lights I could obtain, I was well satisfied that our country, under all the circumstances of the case, had a right to take, and was bound in duty and interest to take, a neutral position. Having taken it, I determined, as far as should depend upon me, to maintain it, with moderation, perseverance, and firmness.

47 The considerations, which respect the right to hold this conduct, it is not necessary on this occasion to detail. I will only observe, that, according to my understanding of the matter, that right, so far from being denied by any of the Belligerent Powers, has been virtually admitted by all.

48 The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred, without any thing more, from the obligation which justice and humanity impose on every nation, in cases in which it is free to act, to maintain inviolate the relations of peace and amity towards other nations.

49 The inducements of interest for observing that conduct will best be referred to your own reflections and experience. With me, a predominant motive has been to endeavour to gain time to our country to settle and mature its yet recent institutions, and to progress without interruption to that degree of strength and consistency, which is necessary to give it, humanly speaking, the command of its own fortunes.

50 Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope, that my Country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.

51 Relying on its kindness in this as in other things, and actuated by that fervent love towards it, which is so natural to a man, who views it in the native soil of himself and his progenitors for several generations; I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat, in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.

A Time for Choosing (2008)

Body:

We live in a time great turmoil. A time of great corruption. These are the underlying factors as to why WE THE PEOPLE suffer today. Political Correctness has unhinged the screws that have kept this country together. The lawyers and the closest socialists through political lobbying and the threat of law suits have forced the banks to keep lending and lending to those who could not repay such forced deficits. The housing market bubbled and the bubble exploded. Where was the Republican party (and the do nothing Democrats)?Pork barrel spending and investigating a steroid scandal in base ball.


The secularist media for two years have ran their agenda down our throats. They have made this country feel bad about the war. They have made this country feel bad about the economy. They have made this country feel guilty about the environment. They have made this country feel bad about being politically in-correct. All across the board they have made this country feel about...Just so they can clear the runway and prop up their paper Messiah Barack Obama to get the ill feeling American to vote for him. By implementing his true agenda in the on coming years (with a corrupt congress) the Media will hail him as a genius. The people will have a false sense of hope, and this country could be on the brink of destitute.

Once again in regards to congress. We have an illegal alien problem spun way out of control. Congress has done little. We have an oil speculation crisis. Congress does not vote to drill for oil. We spend billions in foreign aid and little of that money goes to the under privileged. Instead that money goes into the pockets of the fat cats and warlords of these third world countries. Congress does nothing. The economy fails congress does something...they spend 830 billion dollars of your money bailing out failed and corrupt banking companies and having some of the profits windfall into non causes like the production of Puerto Rican Rum and Toy arrows for children. Congress keeps pointing the fingers at one another while they spend billions more in wasteful earmarks and continue to borrow trillions more from the People's Republic of China to pay for various mis-managed wars (There is no statement about the war being justified or unjustified..there is a statement about the war being mismanaged) This country is under saved and over spent.....

For years prior to the past two years of media bias...The Mainstream Media has promoted excess, excess, excess. Excess through the tabloids. Excess through television. Excess through commercial novelty. They have promoted excess down to basic children's television programming. This excess promotes name brand clothing, mass sexuality, superb food, and beyond realistic living situations. The buck does not stop there for the past sixteen years the government has led by the principal of excess. Excess in regards to it's size. Excess in regards toward overall spending. Excess in regards towards it's overall greed. When the media proclaims the gospel of excess as truth. When the Government leads by the example of the gospel of excess, the majority of a misguided society follows suit. We now face the terrible tree of this economic hangover from seeds we have sewn. We have bitten off more than we could chew, by collectively believing that we can live like kings and queens and live off of non existent income. It's time for this society and this government to go on a diet that is way long over due.

We the people need to get back to the basics. We need to start living within our means not beyond our parameters. We need to respect, not abuse the pillars of capitalism. We need to implement self reliance as opposed to reliance upon others. We need to start recognizing that there is fine line between what is trivial and what is pragmatic. Between what is real and what is fiction. We need to stop investing so much in ourselves and start investing into one another, there is a greater cause that transcends our primitive wants and needs and those are helping those needs of our neighbors. We need to drop the condom and pick up a bible and start having collective standards again. We need to stop relying so much on credit and start re-investing in the value of our dollar. In the end it is the dollar that is our saving grace. We need to restore the pride and traditions of middle America. We need to tell the godless fat cats, the secular progressive, the multi-cultural, the environmentalists, and every other backwards agenda driven entity to TAKE A LONG LONG HIKE.

We the people run the direction of this great country not the government and not the media. We have the power to overthrow the government and we have the power to over throw the media. One man cannot do such, neither can one thousand, but as the numbers steadily grow so the chances of victory over this great corruption grow as well. November 4th is around the corner. November 4th 2008 is the first day of our political revolution in the 21st century. on that day WE THE PEOPLE declare WAR on the corruption of the United States Federal Government. On that day WE THE PEOPLE tell the government that your days of pissing our money away on bailing out corrupt business, on mis-managing wars, on African Warlords, on wasteful pork barrel spending and irresponsible bureaucratic greed ARE OVER! On that day WE THE PEOPLE need to start taking our country back by voting out these empty suit senators and representatives and putting in fresh new blood that will better serve us.

In regards to the media. WE THE PEOPLE have the power to make the media. And by the grace of God, WE THE PEOPLE have the power to destroy the media. Who is tired of the bombardment? Who is tired of the SEX? Who is tired of the DRUGS? Who is tired of the DIVISION of the glamorous and un-glamorous, the conservative and the liberal? Who is tried of the PERVERSION of our youth, through music, through distorted facts, through the gospel of excess? Who is tired of the BIAS and the political agenda the Mainstream Media demonstrates? WE THE PEOPLE ARE! To combat the secular progressive machine WE THE PEOPLE need to act counter active to what they promote. They want ratings in television. We give them none! They want sales in the tabloids. We grant them none! They want us to invest in the stars, we invest in the grass roots! They want us to spend. We start to save! They want us to save. We start to spend! The direction of this country is not based upon what they want it to be? It's based upon what WE THE PEOPLE want.

Collectively it is going to take 5-7 years to purge the cancer, to purge the poison from this great country. In the next 5-7 years there is no such promise as to where we will stand as a society. President Ronald Reagan once uttered a phrase "It's Morning Time in America". President Reagan would be sad to know that such a day has ended. A new time calls for a new phrase. "We must survive this terrible night, if we are to see a glorious new day". In the event should Senator Barack Obama become President and coupled with a corrupt congress, expect to see a violent turbulent time that has not been witnessed by any American since the 1860's. If we fail to act, we will then fail ourselves....We must take care of this corrupt congress before this corrupt congress takes care of us. After we take them down....The media is next! WE THE PEOPLE need to stick together and ride these times out if we dare seek a better tomorrow.

It's July 4th 2028. The United States is at the height of it's power. It has no more debt to pay. Gasoline costs one dollar a gallon. Islamic Terrorism has long since been a memory of a once turbulent past. Illegal Immigration has been toppled. The media no longer has bias. Our country has a 2 trillion dollar surplus due to integrity within the government, little intrusiveness, responsible spending with the re-investment in our coal, steel, ore, and oil industries. Our consumer market is the strongest it's ever been. Social Security has been repaired. Crime is down. Drug use is down. Abortions are down. Children are respective of their elders, all division of race has ceased. A sense of sanity has been restored to this country. On this day you are surrounded by your friend s neighbors and family. By your brothers, sisters, cousins, husbands, wives, nephews, nieces, children, and grand children. You are playing a pickup game of baseball in the park around the corner from the BBQ that you are at....It's your turn up to bat, you pause for a moment. You take it all in. The crystal blue sky, the birds singing, the glistening sun kissing your face. The intoxicating scent of charcoal burning, cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs fills your nose. The light breeze blowing the field of green grass and trees of the park...Then you think about the patriotic music and the loud bangs that fill your ears, as your eyes are mesmerized by the vibrant colors of the fireworks lighting the night sky. You then think about the troubled days of your country and the prosperity it has found once again. You tell yourself..."I did well! WE THE PEOPLE DID WELL!" You go up and you swing your bat.

The future does not start tomorrow. It starts now! On Tuesday November 4th 2008 WE THE PEOPLE have a rendezvous with destiny, We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness. It is up to us THE PEOPLE to decide where this destiny will lead us. God Bless You all. and God Bless America.

Ayers and Obama and the overlooked election.

CNN

September 23rd, 2008

Democrats lead battle for Congress Posted: 03:46 PM ET WASHINGTON (CNN) —

Call it the overlooked election. An intense battle is going on right now for control of Congress, but it’s overshadowed in the media by a historic race for the White House.

So which party has the upper hand in the fight for Capitol Hill?

The answer, according to a new national poll, appears to be the Democrats. In a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Tuesday, 56 percent of those questioned are backing the Democratic candidate for Congress, while 42 percent support the Republicans.(today the poll is 50 % McCain and 48% Obama)

That’s a change from immediately after the GOP convention, when the Democrats had only a 3-point lead lead over the Republicans, 49 percent to 46 percent.

overlooked election(Congress)

Notice the word Execution and that is the power of the president of the USA

What is the presidents job.???

Quote the Constitution of USA:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of .

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present ; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for,

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

It does not matter who you elect as the Respective of all the people of the USA ,cause the President is just the high sheriff of the country and only enforces the laws of the USA with the Military of said USA

It does matter when you vote for the ones

Put the US back in USA

This emblem on the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, symbolizes the Chinese Communist Party’s philosophy of uniting all elements of society under the leadership of the party. The large star represents the Communist Party and the four smaller stars identify the peasants, the workers, the bourgeoisie, and the capitalists.

Take a look at this picture I made and the DNC banners on the hall at the great lier's convention.

How in the world did any one let them put red stars on an American building.and the communists party's emblem of One large star and 4 small ones.Its an insult to the American people and not one reporter has noticed or he justs wants to be politically correct .

The American people will ,just as I did when I first seen them.Obama is surrounded by communists and now they feel safe in showing their true colors.Will Obama show the states in the American flag as red stars.???

Better dead than RED.

Kick them all out and Congres tooo.

Put the US back in USA

About 40 protesters outside the courthouse in Pottsville have been told to keep quiet or they'll be forced to move. The protesters are from workers and immigrants' rights groups.

Pix.

Love it or leave it!!!!!!!

13.8 million Criminals are in this country and taking these young mens jobs away.

The news says that the criminals do the work and take the jobs that lazy Americans don't want.

Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) have promised Criminals that AgJOBS will be attached to the farm bill this fall and be signed into law.

The Dam o crats will invite more and give Amnesty to all of them.

They cared enough to stay and work to end gas crisis and they caused this illegal alien problem.

They protect the criminal employers of the criminals who crawled under the fence to lie to and cheat and murder the lazy Americans.

They are poor oppressed people who are good and need help and the Americans are just crap to the Congress.

They changed the name of the criminals to immigrants and call the American people Bigots.

now its ethnic intimidation and the police are the criminals who did not obey the laws of the land.

illegal aliens was changed to immigrant and the news has kept the lie alive too long and they need to start defending Americans are get out.

The protesters are dressed in uniforms and look like the KKK and defend criminals who should not be here anyway.

The Congress is to blame and they went on Vacation with their good illegal aliens to the beach.

Looks like the only people who will enforce the laws are the people.

As Independence Day approaches, we'd like to know how you define and express your patriotism as an American.

From serving your country on the battlefield to serving up soup at community kitchens, people have different ways of caring for our great nation. What's yours?

What is patriotism?love for or devotion to one's country ("patriotism." Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. 2008.)

This the definition of what patriotism is and you need to have the opposite of ,to get a true meaning.This is the so called debate in America since the 1960s.

Is it Patriotism or Treason to LIE???

opposite of is Treason

–noun

1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.

2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.

3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.

—Synonyms 1. Treason, sedition mean disloyalty or treachery to one's country or its government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government. Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense.

Main Entry: Treason Anglo-French treison crime of violence against a person to whom allegiance is owed, literally, betrayal, from Old French traïson, from traïr to betray, from Latin tradere to hand over, surrender: the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war; specifically : the act of levying war against the United States or adhering to or giving aid and comfort to its enemies by one who owes it allegiance .

Now the big bunch of words that we all owe

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

1 aarchaic : deprive b: to reduce in scope : diminish <attempts to abridge the right of free speech>2: to shorten in duration or extent <modern transportation that abridges distance>3: to shorten by omission of words without sacrifice of sense : condense

This freedom is for all ,except the founding fathers also put in a word (T

Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense.

Freedom of speech is words and to pass a law causing harm to the people is an action and is giving aid and comfort to the enemies and that is Treason.

Actions is how we judge people and not with words.I have always accepted my Responsibility to my country.to my family and to my children and to my values.I am serving jury duty not griping that it will cost me money.I served my country and now suffer with a bad leg ,but I do not blame my country.I served for years in the boy scouts to serve boys growing up to become men and did not blame my country for losing money on all those wonderful trips.I have spent many hours as a kid and a man and father in church until they started protesting in the streets and trying to over turn laws and lying about it all and killing Doctors just to make money from their treason.Now I pray in my closet to my God.I have voted in all elections since JFK was made President of the USA and have been to tons of meetings with neighbors either trying to get something done or not.Have awards on my walls and Have worked hard for my children and wife and now i am retired and enjoying the rewards of serving my country.I honored My mother and father and they supported this their country and taught me how to be a man and American and to follow the rules and not bring harm to my fellow country men and mom is 87 and my Dad died in 1999.I have and still have lots of patriotism

Check with your court house and find out where every elected offical lives in your district.

Find out where that congress man lives and spend the fourth of july at thier house.

Heres another example of Congress at work,

The American Dream: Dr. Quiñones' Incredible Journey

Leading Doctor at Johns Hopkins Started Out as An Illegal Immigrant

"By the time I was 19, I decided I wanted to go to the U.S. and explore," Quiñones-Hinojosa said. "I was tired of the political oppression and the bifurcation of classes, the oppression of the poor that happens in my country."

Desperate for money, and with his sights set on a brighter future, he scaled a barbed border fence across from Calexico, Calif.

"It was a pretty scary experience," Quiñones-Hinojosa remembered. "It was filled with a real adrenaline rush excitement, but also fear, and, you know, fear gives you extra strength and courage. I got caught and sent back, but I did it again the same night."

He worked illegally for more than a year doing backbreaking work in California's fields, mostly picking tomatoes. Like other migrant workers, he sent his hard-earned cash back to his family in Mexico.

Although he always had a strong work ethic, Quiñones-Hinojosa -- who manned the pumps at his father's gas station -- seemed destined for a life of menial labor at low-paying jobs in his hometown. For Quiñones-Hinojosa, growing up was difficult.

Read about criminal success in America http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5247526&page=1This a Wonderful story of how a criminal who did not have to have a Birth Certificate to get in to school and did not take sat test and did not graduate from high school and the bad USA government sent him to school and then a scholarship to attend the University of California, Berkeley. I believe this is the town who is going to throw out the Army and ban them from the town.He was deported twice and then his dream came true.

Now the Dam o crats are trying to get reelected with lies and using false names and a AKA.

What makes this a great story is that the 30,000,000 million kids in America will never have a chance to get his dream cause they did it the right way and they cant get a job with dad cause he was kicked out of the family and they sure will not be rewarded for being a criminal.

They are just forgotten.

Only criminals win in America.

Kick them all out and Congress too.

Oh well he don't care who he cheated and neither does Congress.

Put the us back in usa.

Obama is full of DO DO.

This gas price fixing has been going on since the 1970s and he did nothing then and when he got in to congress ,he and all the others did nothing and he has not presented a bill to do something now .Just promices and lies and the same o same o out of the Dam o crats.

Obama wants crackdown on energy speculators

Barack Obama said today that as president he would strengthen oversight of energy traders he blames in part for rising oil prices. (last week we do not need drilling and the people could have absorbed the price if hike had not been so fast)John McCain's campaign accused Obama of "partisan attacks" after his rival blamed a McCain adviser, former Sen. Phil Gramm, for a so-called Enron loophole.( why ?oh why ?did not obama enter a bill to shut loophole.Busy attacking the presidemt I guess????)

Omg    

Put the US bank in USA

Saudis Willing to Increase Oil Production If Customers Need It

But the Saudi oil minister also blamed speculators and asserted supply is not the problem.

"In today's environment, I am convinced that supply and demand balances and crude oil production levels are not the primary drivers of the current market situation," al-Naimi said. Officials and energy executives from more than 35 countries thronged a large hall where he spoke.

King Abdullah also said Saudi Arabia is not the culprit.

The king cited several factors driving "the unjustified, swift rise in oil prices" including "speculators who play the market out of selfish interests," plus higher consumption by developing countries and higher taxes in some countries.

U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman, however, said earlier that U.S. officials had found no evidence speculators are driving up prices.

Now if Congress had the Guts to step up to the plate and shut down the speculators and assert their power to control the purse strings and take back the 9 refinery's that are foreign owned and set the price of our oil coming out of the ground then we would see a big change .

But Congress would have to be the Representatives of the American people ,but we the people don't have Oil Lobbyists and we are not rich enough to help.

As thousands of schoolchildren in California look forward to their summer break, the spectre of huge budget cuts has left many of their parents wondering what the next school year will bring.

"Pick on someone your own size," announces a fearless eight-year-old at Parthenia Elementary School in North Hills, California - a complex of single-storey buildings in the San Fernando Valley, where 85% of students are Hispanic, more than half of them learning to speak English.

Put the US back in USA

But for many years (fourty seven to be exact), the priorities of the government have been opposite to mine. Mine are accessible education for everybody, equal opportunity for everyone, and solving society’s problems with intelligent, scientific thinking.

Our current government’s priorities are: opportunities and education only for the rich, forget about society’s problems and then put money into your cronies’ pockets. The USA seems to have forgotten its constitution.

We the people have no lobbiests and no repersentives.They refuse to inforce laws and allow courts to make laws.

The comments that McConnell referred to were given during an interview with CNBC. Discussing rising gasoline prices, Obama said: "I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing.Obama also said that "if we take some steps right now to help people make the adjustment, first of all by putting more money into their pockets, but also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more quickly, particularly U.S. automakers, then I think ultimately, we can come out of this stronger and have a more efficient energy policy than we do right now.

McConnell, honing in on Obama's referral to "gradual" price increases, said Obama's remarks are evidence that Obama believes "rising gas prices aren't the problem. The problem, he suggested, is that they've gone up too fast. He said he would prefer a gradual adjustment."

He continued: "Whether it's shutting down domestic exploration in large areas both onshore and offshore, instituting a moratorium on oil shale development, increasing the gas tax, or refusing to pursue coal to liquids, Democrats long ago implemented a 'gradual adjustment' on gas prices that's reflected today in the $4.05 Americans are paying for a gallon of gas."

first-in-the-nation universal health insurance law
Heres the health care plan that Hillery has talked about since 1991 and the one Obama has talked about and McClain will probably mention.This is the same as the mandatory insurance plan for autos and you already know what happen to the price of a policy when you buy it .You know the price of all labor and repair went up .The insurance company's raised the coinsurance and added a cash copay.All with the blessings of the state.
97,000 Uninsured Mass. Taxpayers Get Fined
This is not being talked about by the news media because of all the advertisement you see on TV and in all media.Hospitals also have Advertisements on TV now .The media does not want their money cut off.
The insurance company's do not want their money cut off .Lobbyist's helped the company's but you are going to get to pay Thur the nose.


Heres what you will get .
Massachusetts health care reform law was enacted in 2006, and requires nearly every resident of Massachusetts to obtain or purchase health insurance coverage. Through the law, Massachusetts provides nearly free health care for residents earning less than the federal poverty line, and subsidized access to health care for those earning up to three times the poverty threshold. As of the end of 2007, the law is credited with covering an additional 336,000 Massachusetts residents. The law established a new quasi-public regulatory authority, the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority which offers the subsidized coverage and facilitates the selection and purchase of private insurance plans by individuals and small businesses.



Heres what you could have
The State or federal government becomes the insurance company.
No insurance company
no insurance adds
no hospital adds
No being laid off and miss payment and then no Insurance and then states fine you and if not paid you get jail time.same old story.

Does anyone know how many party's and Political organizations there are just in the USA???

We the people do not have anyone to represent us.Our congress is too busy listening to all the Political organization and party's and lobbyists from all over the world .

This election has shown that there is a problem in our country and it is the people who took an oath to get in to office and then we the people are left far behind in the dust as they scramble to please all of the people who gave them money or helped them get in to office.

As you can see they will beg for our VOTE and spend millions to convince us to Vote for them and then when its over they go back to begging the Political organization for money and ask them ,what should they do for the poor slobs at the bottom of the money ladder.

We need a Political Organization to lobby and influence and beg for laws for us the American people.

We have a list of members and its registered Voters.

We can get donations from congress ,so we can send out mail to all Voters in the USA.

All of us have money to give to candidates already taken out of our tax's.

I doubt if we could become tax exempt as the Political organization are.

We could get news letters out that report the news of the American people and does not have to lie so as to protect the owners of the news company's .

We could petition in courts and the congress and make amendments to the Constitution to shut off this garbage in our country.

We could ask for the arrest of the General Electric, CEO and just like the homosexuals do ,to get judges to protect them.

We could holler kill whitey and protest in the streets to get laws changed in protection of us.We could get donations to us from our congress.

Wow we could get our schools fixed instead of the Rich's schools .We could get our rights back and be able to sue the rich .We could get the wages of congress cut and cut off their retirement and best of all we could make it where a poor man could become president of the USA.They would come make speech's to US and beg us for money.Just think we could declare the gangs in America terrorists organization and bring the army back home (who have trained fighting them)and clean up our city's and make them safe for US the hard working and honest Americans.

We need a Political organization to lobby and influence and beg for laws for us the American people.We need and can get out of the BOX they have put us in.

Just think some one doing this for all the people. Establish Justice(for good people not criminals), insure domestic Tranquility(shoot gang members), provide for the common defense(close that border), promote the general Welfare(Schools,Hospitals,safe food), and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity(this is our children and not just theirs), do ordain(enforce laws and make it happen for all) and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Here is a list of just a few Political organizations in America and they are all tax free ,but we wont get that benefit.

Wow! no wonder the congress has no time to represent us.120 just in this list

                                 :( Go here and see how many :)

Each one can give 1500 dollars and all sub list of their party can give 1500 dollars(PAC Money)
