Turning Promises Into Action

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America along with the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Frederick Douglass, in his speech, Self-Made Men, said, "You have been accustomed to hear that money is the root of all evil, etc," "On the other hand, property, [contracts, gainful employment, and financial literacy] is money, if you please, will purchase for us the only condition upon which people can rise to the dignity of genuine manhood, for without property [contracts, gainful employment, and financial literacy] there can be no leisure; without leisure, there can be no thought; without thought, there can be no invention: without invention, there can be no progress.

In 1848, Frederick Douglass wrote a scathing letter to the Principal of Seward Seminary regarding School Choice. "I am also glad to inform you that you have not succeeded as you hoped to do, in depriving my child of the means of a decent education, or the privilege of going to an excellent school." 

American citizens have a tremendous privilege to vote in free elections to decide the future of our constitutional republic. American citizens alone choose our political leaders. Our elections have no room for fraudulent or fallacious voting, and illegal aliens who try to cast ballots to interfere in our nation’s elections must be held accountable and punished. Our sacred privilege to vote should never be diluted by illegal aliens or anyone else with bad motives!

The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution allows us, according to Federick Douglass to protect 3 boxes: The ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. The ballot box represents exercising one's right to elect politicians who will protect our liberties. The jury box represents jury nullification - refusing to convict someone being prosecuted for breaking an unjust law that lessens our liberties. The cartridge box represents exercising one's right to keep and bear arms to oppose a tyrannical government. I might add, the soapbox, which represents exercising one's right to free speech - agitating politicians seeking to rob us of our liberties.
