GEORGE WASHINGTON STATED

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty teeth.



First Inaugural Address of George Washington...April 30, 1789

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

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.

Abraham Lincoln said:

"In this age, and in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it nothing can suceed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions."

James Madison Declared

The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE. (Federalist Papers, No. 46, p.294; emphasis added.)

Rhetoric & charisma..no substitute for substance

Finally the "independent silent majority" that put Barack Obama in office last year has learned the error of its ways; rhetoric and charisma is not a substitute for substance. This was dramatically reflected in the GOP wins in Virginia and New Jersey in spite of the personal campaigning of the President for the defeated Democrat, Jon Corzine in New Jersey and Democrat, R. Creigh Deeds in Virginia. They have learned that words and promises and smiles and kissing babies are no substitute for action and listening to the wishes of their constituents. Finally the silent majority will not be silent anymore and will hold those elected to their campaign promises. Let the word go forth from this day forward, if you are campaigning for political office "say what you mean and do what you say"; the people of this great land will hold you to it and will not forget at the next election cycle...they have become much more street smart and will not fall for anymore empty political promises.

I believe the winds of change are starting to blow ever so gently but will erupt into a tornado if the people are feed the same old empty promises they have been getting for generations.

Democrat candidates for office cannot any longer hope to slip into office on the shirt tails of President Obama; in fact President Obama cannot hope to stay in office on the basis of his rhetoric and charm and flashing smile...it will not work again. He has to really accomplish things of substance that the American people expect of their President. As the President now realizes, words and promises will NOT BE ENOUGH.
