The Republic's Demise

Are We Giving the Republic Away?

The new defense is, everything he does is in the public interest. Therefore, whatever he does, no matter how corrupt, is permissible. Then, what's the next step? Throwing your political opponents in jail? We already have a trial without evidence and witnesses. Do you understand where this is all going?

Alan Dershowitz, a member of Trump’s legal team, said a president could do virtually anything — including engaging in a quid pro quo for a purely political benefit — as long as it's in service of winning reelection. (Politico)

Politico also quoted Adam Schiff on this issue. Dershowitz’s view gives a president “carte blanche” to use his or her office to further his or her own political interests, rather than the interests of the nation. It puts the president above the law and the constitution.

Isn't this what happens in Putin's Russia. Isn't this what happened in Hitler's Germany? 

How will you be remembered?

A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbor's.

Our Calling

God didn't call America to do what she's doing in the world now. - Martin Luther King Jr.

What is our calling? It's based on the founding ideals found in the Declaration of Independence.

When writing the Declaration, Jefferson mentioned four ideals that have shaped all of The United States' history. These ideals were Equality, Consent of the Governed, the unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, and finally, the Right of the People to alter or abolish the Government.

How have we fallen short?

• Racism
• Inequality
• Segregation
• Discrimination
• Hatred
• Greed
• Hatred

All of these fueled by fear. That fear comes from the top. We will not reach the ideal or Dr. King's dream unless we are will to stand up for a just America.
