Vote rallies - life, liberty, property

| October 28, 2016 1:00 AM

The Grant County Committee of Safety will be sponsoring rallies Friday (Oct. 28 - 3-6 p.m.) and Saturday (Oct. 29 - 10-6 p.m.) to encourage people to carefully study, research, and consider candidates and initiatives, then vote.

Consider this: which candidates will best support our rights as written in the Second and First Amendments to the United States Constitution? I listed the Second Amendment before the First because without a right to defend ourselves, our families, and our property, then we cannot defend the rights of free speech, religion, the press, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Our country is currently held in economic slavery due to the national debt. It has doubled in the last eight years. At some point, a reckoning will fall — if not on our shoulders, then upon our children and grandchildren. Which candidates even recognize that this must be addressed?

Our state Supreme Court has issued contempt fines in excess of $39 million against the state. How does that solve any problem? Where do they think the money would come from, and where would it go? Do the State Supreme Court justices even think logically? Do they recognize that money alone doesn’t improve education?

Do our state and federal officials not recognize that We the People are tired of giving our property (taxes) to fund an increasingly large and inefficient government? We do not want “rulers!” We want representatives who recognize the difference between a republic, and mob rule democracy.

Please come join with us. This historic election is about our future.
