William Penn, a guy of some reputation in early America, has been quoted as saying “Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad. . . .”
Oh my!!! What would he tell us to do in our current situation? He would probably wonder how we got in this situation. Actually, I wonder how we got in this situation. But here we are, and we had better DO SOMETHING!
First of all, every citizen who cares should
- become informed, not just about candidates, but about issues
- consider how corruption has taken over at all levels and work to find it, expose it, and prevent it
- consider if there is corruption in their own life and how vulnerable they are to it
- VOTE!!!
- If you really believe in a candidate who seems genuine, HELP THEM RUN!
- If you cannot find a genuine candidate, then RUN YOURSELF
For those of us who love our country and want to be under the leadership of men and women we can respect, there is no longer any room for apathy. We better start letting our voices be heard. We better start spending our money wisely. We better get our heads our of the proverbial sand and quit looking just to our own interests, but also to the interests of others. If we do not do this, we risk waking up in a land of tyranny……It has happened before!!!
