Government is a disease masquerading as it’s own cure...

Considering what government has become, you may be right.

But true government; government of, by and for the people; is not the problem.

The root of the problem is that our country, and most particularly our current political class, doesn't even understand why government even exists any more.

All Americans, if they care about the survival of this free republic, better get back to first principles - and act quickly - before it's too late.

Here's the starting point:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

Here's step two:

"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."

Everyone we elect takes an oath to fulfill the above stated purpose of our Constitution.

It's time for us to DEMAND that they keep their oaths.
