The People are the Power. The Republic is the Tool. The Constitution is the Rule. When the people get mad, educated, and focused we will see a change in the politics of the day.
Why do politicians believe they can walk on the people and remain in power? The answer is simple... They don't believe the people are smart enough to unite against them. How many times have entrusted politicians gone to congress and voted with lobbyists? The answer is too many.
Last night I attended a local liberty celebration. I was moved. I can honestly say I am a patriot at heart. However, I found the lack of attendance disturbing and revealing. I don't know why so few attended. I thought, obviously naively, that the government rests on our individual shoulders collectively. But, there are those that for one reason or another discharge this responsibility. No wonder the politicians are ignoring us. No wonder they declared war on us in 1933. Then our politicrats (new word) perpetrated a fraud on us... the people.
As a United States citizen we have the charge to be responsible. Everything about the Constitution shouts justice and freedom for all that would bare the responsibility. As soon as we beg for socialism we forfeit justice and freedom. When a man seeks unrighteous dominion over another man the laws of God are broken leading both to the bottom of captivity.
The Declaration of Independence was drafted after the King of England perpetrated crimes against the colonies. How similar the travesties of our current government resemble the past. I address this concern as there was one speech that bothered me during the Liberty Celebration. The speech was on attacking our enemies and not our brothers. The speech contained no grievous violations of truth but it did include those that hide beneath sheep's wool pretending in form but not in deed to be our brothers. Are we to relinquish to these hidden forces as friends? After reading this list of abuses from the The Declaration of Independence

" The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.How many of these abuses have been republished on us today through the use of Admiralty law? Who is my enemy? I find it difficult to compare today's government and president with what the colonists faced as I find mounting abuse identical in nature if not in situation.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
