Who is in charge, you or the government?
What is a Citizen? In 1789, David
Ramsay published A dissertation on the manner of acquiring the
character and privileges of a citizen of the United States. In it
he states that "Subject is derived from the latin
words, sub and jacio, and means one who
is under the power of
another; but a citizen is an unit of a mass of free people, who,
collectively, possess sovereignty." Citizens are part owners in their
government and the public functionaries work for
them.
Public functionaries derive
their just powers from the consent of the governed. The just power
given to our public functionaries is to to secure these certain
unalienable Rights...Life, Liberty and Private
Property.
When government shifts from securing
our individual rights to taking our individual rights, it becomes the
very thing it was created to protect us from. What is worse, we are
paying for it to violate our rights.
A Citizen takes personal
responsibility for the public functionaries in the government which
that Citizen owns! When public functionaries do wrong, they need
corrected. When they are not sure what they should do, they may need
advice. Above all, public functionaries need the accountability of
having their boss (YOU) attending public meetings to check in on
them.
Make sure you are getting to your
municipal and school board meetings in your area. Get organized with
others in your area so that you can keep up with what is going on by
sharing the load with other Citizens.
