PATRIOTS! Let’s use the Constitution to save the Constitution!
Things are not going well. Landslide election rebalancing did not materialize, fire-bombing anarchists continue to go unpunished, government agencies and the media ignore or suppress important truths, reality is distorted in the name of diversity. Is this something new or just humanity in all its perennial frailty?
Our Founding Fathers saw us for what we really are, prone to self-preservation at the cost of others. Our leaders intended We the People, at the state level, to be at the top of the food chain. They knew from living under British rule and from observing history that all powerful central governments had failed to serve their people. That’s why they created checks and balances to make sure the power stayed in the states.
When the United States cut ties with Britain, the founders wanted nothing to do with the British form of government known as “unitary.” Under a unitary regime, all power originates from a centralized national government (Parliament) and is delegated to local governments. history.com
When our country started out, the states were at the top of the food chain.
Federalism refers to the separation of powers between the state and federal governments. Enumerated powers of the federal government listed in Article I were intended to be limited, and per the 10th Amendment, all other “powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
But, over the last 100 years, thanks to the Progressive Movement, Washington D.C. has slowly taken away local power and now the states are at the bottom of the food chain. The states are mere agencies to the federal government.
“What democracy meant for the Progressives is that the people would take power out of the hands of locally elected officials and political parties and place it instead into the hands of the central government, which would in turn establish administrative agencies run by neutral experts, scientifically trained, to translate the people's inchoate will into concrete policies.” Heritage.org
This sounds bad, but don’t give up hope. The great news is that Convention of States is using Article V of the US Constitution to restore power to We the People through our state legislatures.
We have earned the nickname The Free State of Florida and we are being watched by the whole country. So, let’s show our fellow citizens that Florida is the leader in restoring power to the states.
Come to Tallahassee on April 4th, 2023 8am - 4 pm to show the country that our state and our People are working hard to restore the States to the top of the food chain!
