Constitution Party (ACP) Members and Supporters: Here is the latest public relations video Preserve, protect and defend! which is hosted on our YouTube Channel, Hey Alaska! https://youtube/watch?v=X3m1LTKbqDs Please forward it to your contacts and share on social media sites. Description: The Alaska Constitution Party is turning the political party model on its head. The only way to take back our country is for ordinary Americans to take full responsibility to preserve it. The only solution is in the People. We were warned by John Adams that Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. He admonished us, as well, thinking that we may not appreciate our Liberty and Freedom. I can almost hear the mixture of anger and enthusiasm as he cried out to us down through the ages: “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.” We ask you now to take an Oath to God to preserve, protect and defend the original Constitution for the united States and to assert the Oath of Office taken by the elected officials where you live. You can choose the words to the Oath by President George Washington repeated as he was sworn into office on April 20, 1789. “I (name), do solemnly swear that I will, to the best of my ability, preserve protect and defend the Constitution for the united States of America, so help me God!” “Up until recently, historians’ accounts of Washington’s first inaugural included the claim that at the conclusion of the oath Washington added the phrase, so help me God. No contemporary accounts of the inauguration made reference to the phrase, and the first time the claim appeared in print was some 60 years later. Most scholars now accept that there is no credible evidence that Washington said so help me God. That, however, doesn’t mean that the oath itself lacked a religious connotation. It was taken on a Bible and, moreover, the wording of the oath, I do solemnly swear, was a clear and forceful reference to the religious sanction given to the oath. The word solemn, derived from the Latin solemnis (consecrated, holy) carried a stronger religious connotation in the late 18th century than it does today when to most it simply means grave, serious, or somber. (uschs.wordpress/2013/01/08) “That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent, if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks on the contrary to keep them in perpetual childhood; it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. “For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances -- what remains, to spare them all the care of thinking and the trouble of living. “After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp, and fashioned them at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. “The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided -- men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till [the] nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. ~Alexis de Tocqueville If the light of Freedom goes out in America, the whole world will be thrown into darkness. What You Tolerate Is What You Will Always Get!
