Agency

January 20, 2013

Some have determined to ignore the feverish passions of many in positions of governmental authority because the arguing and condemnations of all sides make them weary. Please do not turn off you’re “hearing aids.” Listen to the spirit, to your conscience, to your good sense, and to the constant drum of change that is overwhelming our entire system of government and destroying the very freedoms for which so many have died to preserve.

This is a joyous battle cry to young and old. It is not a condemnation of our country, our leaders, or “we the people.” We must rally to the cause. We must sincerely and fervently humble ourselves, look to God for understanding, feast on the words and concepts of temporal and spiritual leaders, then act according to the direction we are given. In recent days I have been contacted by several groups, including Freedom Works, Allied tea Parties organizations, and others asking for donations to “the cause.” I have been polite, but very pointed in telling them that more cash would be forthcoming when they determined that singing to the choir through advertising was not only expensive, but highly ineffective. I sincerely believe that proactive efforts to create positive opportunities for individuals and families which will bless lives and, by extension, assist our great country and God given freedoms solidly in place.

Incomprehensible as it may seem to us as mortals, the author of this inalienable right is God. Those of us who have had the marvelous opportunity to experience this great gift have been able to speak, write, worship, live, work, play and enjoy life in every way. The only restriction is that we live by the natural consequences of our deeds. A system which provides abundant opportunities for all citizens to share the blessing of agency, a system of governing laws has been created, with the United States Constitution as it foundation. Virtually all of our founding fathers expressed the notion at one time or another that government and law were enlisted to protect the people.

The limitations to government expressly denoted in the constitution have infuriated bureaucrats and elected officials over the centuries. Recently one supreme Court Justice, former director of the ACLU, Ruth, B. Ginsberg commented noted that she (one of the sworn defenders of our constitution) would much rather see an emerging democracy with whom she was working, use anything other than the US Constitution as it’s map to their future. The governing bodies in cities, counties, states, and at the federal level have pushed at the seams of the bulging balloon they have crafted to the point of imminent fracture. Several states are at what has been referred to as “Grecian Status” and are in imminent danger of bankruptcy and foreclosure to the Federal Government, once again providing unconstitutional abridgments of the limitations dictated by the constitution.

Some of you disregard Glenn Beck and The Blaze as fringe and a little crazy. Regardless of your notions on this subject, he is doing things that are highly proactive and positive. He is encouraging us to read and study and understand history. He is encouraging us to protect our families by using Rich Dad, Poor Dad techniques of securing grub, gold, ground, God, guns, etc. He is encouraging each of us to step up to the place and implement ways of helping our families and others. My desire is to encourage each of us to get off our respective duffs and rise to the occasion.
