Our Founders Knew
Most of us probably think that power turns evil whenever it is in the hands of our "enemy". Our Founders knew that power turns evil whenever and wherever it becomes concentrated. That's why they created a government wherein power was both separated and divided. They divided governing between Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches at both the State and Federal Levels. These branches, at both levels, have separate and independent powers. The Founders set rules in the Constitution for dividing power between the state and federal governments. Ultimate power under our Constitution rests with the people and their vote. In the United States, the people are soverign. We're all taught that (or should have been).
Facing a crucial election, the citizens of this country find themselves in a situation in which tremendous power has become concentrated. Organized religions, combined with wealthy corporations, have invaded a political party and are willing to destroy the economy in order to gain complete control of government at the federal level.
Funded with unlimited supplies of money, these forces are also moving, through state governors within their party, to limit access to voting by citizens. The factions, with full control of one house of the federal legislature, and near-control of the Supreme Court, have found a way to severely curtail the function of the federal government with threats of cataclysmic cuts in funding needed for operation.
These events, made possible by leaps in technology, have strained the model of our government.
Having withstood the ravages of a Civil War, our government model may not surpass, unscathed, this attack by concentrated power.
Against the backdrop of a global Economic near-Depression, brought on by six years of total control by the party seeking to regain control, the people, alone, will have to defend our governmental model.
The independence of the branches at the Federal level is most threatened. Corporate interests, through highly paid lobbyists have userped functions of the legislative branches; to include writing our laws, and the implementing agencies of the executive branch; to include writing regulations and corrupting regulators.
This government was formed, in part, to escape the tyranny of royalty and ruling families. Elements of the attacking forces within our government at both federal and state levels seek to undo these achievements. Moneyed elites are at the door. Do we let them in?
