Empowering Collaborations of Like-minded People
We are becoming more connected with each other.

The transition to a more open government can come quickly through collaborations of like-minded people who suddenly find themselves empowered to work with others without difficulty to create what is needed, almost miraculously. That is my sense of how it will happen.

We empower each other by being willing to work together to find common ground and by expressing good will even though our opinions may differ. We share the basic values of being open, willing, and resolved to find solutions to our common problems.

We are now capable of creating the world we want. There is nothing holding us back. We can determine what happens next. If we say war is over, then it is. That simple. We can end all the wars in the world through our collective intention that war is over.

Why Is This Idea Important?

Can build confidence in achieving our goals.

The Rule of Law by the Constitution and our Republic form of Government, and The Supreme Court is all that stands between the Power of the People and the Powers that be over the people! The President has no more rights than any other citizen of the United States! Citizens of the U.S. cannot even get a passport without verification of native birth of the United States. How come the rules are followed to the extremes and with exhaustion such was the with others that have run for President and/or elected to prove Native Birth, but the rules are never the same when it is a Democrat or one that is annointed by the Socialist/Dems!

The two posts above speak volumes. I side with the Constitution above any man, and with God above any Constitution.

We have a Republic (NOT Democracy) form of Government, where the Constitution IS the Law of the Land. All public Federal officials take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution... including the President, Congress and members of the Supreme Court.

And yet these same people ignore their oath and undermine it at ever opportunity. What should happen to men who take a required oath to hold office, and break it repeatedly as soon as they can?

And the first poster is correct that Democrats hold their own to a much lesser set of ideals. All you have to do is listen to Pelosi's claim of wanting to "drain the swamp" and establish "transparency"... and then look at all the corruption surrounding the Democratic party... Jefferson and the $90,000 bribe money, Rangel and illegal rent control on mansions, Frank and oversight of the banking system and directing millions of dollars in contracts to relatives, and finally Pelosi herself who lied about knowing about waterboarding and directed contracts to her husbands company. And those are off the top of my head...
