Hi, James - system's NOT allowing me to enter my address manually; even after doing so, STILL calls for population of single line anyhow......please advise? Thanks, sir!
We JUST finished reading The Declaration, the Sword, and the Spy by Jenny Cote - our bedtime story for many months, which follows events of the Revolutionary War leading up to and culminating in the writing and passage of the Declaration of Independence.
This is incredible and I pray will stir hearts and minds.
We have to remember, as you said, that our original Declaration was wrangled over and not well-received by every single colonial American at that time. But it passed and made history-altering impact on the trajectory of this great nation. Together, we must stand and do the same. To secure once again, as our Constitution says, the blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
Having said that in a civil manner as any decent human being would do, let's proceed with spreading the word, BUT (and it;s a big one) do not loose track that we are not dealing with civil and decent human beings.
Regarding: "The good of of any nation is the sum total of all the benefits enjoyed by all its people."
I take issue with this statement which sounds like "The greatest good for the greatest number" which was popular in England several centuries ago.
1. Whatever the benefits of a nation, if they were material, these would be the same unless "the pie was larger", therefore if one person had all the benefits, it would make no difference to this criteria. This criteria would be perfectly happy with a slave society run by one or more oligarchs.
2. There is no clear way to make a sum total unless it is only material benefits being discussed, since many if not most consider Liberty and other rights to be priceless.
3. This statement seems to imply that it is the job of government to provide benefits or wealth to citizens. A government has no such wealth to provide. It can only take from some and give to others, that is, become the arbiter of who gets whose wealth.
4. Whenever government becomes the arbiter of who gets whose wealth, it in essence buys the political support of those receiving wealth, while it acts as a parasite upon the people earning wealth. The government becomes a playing-ground for a tug of war, which is solved by politics, not the law of supply of demand or price discovery or Adam Smith's unseen hand, which, in the latter case, would contribute to growing the pie. Taxes pass through many sticky fingers and the promised benefits are really whatever it takes to make a show of things. the entire country diminishes like a snake eating its tail. Material benefits steadily decline as the capital necessary to produce them is plundered to support corrupt "charity".
5. The ills of government described above amount to the "Isms": socialism, progressivism, liberalism, communism, the difference between these being only theoretical rather than any difference ever realized in a palpable way.
Because of the points above, it is much better to start off with a list of what are the rightful tasks of government. On that list, one must NOT place Charity. Call a government without charity names if you must, uncharitable, it remains, government charity is corrupt and cannot be adequately audited. The best way to audit charity is charitable acts by individuals directly to recipients. Organized charity has largely been a disaster, because it bribes people to support the government and to do whatever a government wants. The War On Poverty failed to create wealth and just made people reliant slaves.
All that said, I am glad you are making a long list of suggested reforms. I just suggest you review the list and remove those things which involve government interference in the economy because it "knows better". That is not to say we can't regulate things so we don't get Upton Sinclair's "Octopus".
But, for most of my life, the Dow Industrial Average has been touted as a report card item for government. This would never have been the case during George Washington's administration, when the nation was new. Just ask yourself, how would George Washington have judged, what is good government and what is not.
I never gave mine up. If some corrupt politician or scumbag from Blackrock thinks they have sovereignty over my God-given rights well I feel there are plenty of people on my side to fight back.
I wanted to do the e-mail action, filled out everything, got to the page showing what was being sent. 😑 Do you really think the recipients would go to the page to read all those demands? Or print them out? I highly doubt it. Therefore, I did not send anything.
I am disappointed that a possible shorter version could not be sent to awaken them to the fact that "we're" not happy and want the emergency declaration to end now, restoring our Constitutional rights. That would be a good first step! Taking back our country from the director of HHS would put us on firmer footing.
You can't get their heads out of their cellphones, game machines, I've nearly hit several watching their phones as they come out of the grocery store. Not all are young idiots either.

'Declaration of DEMANDS'??? 'Demands' is just another way of ASKING PERMISSION! I do NOT ASK PERMISSION from ANY govt!
How about.....'WE, THE PEOPLE DECLARE OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS'! 'WE ALSO DECLARE THE GOVERNMENT ILLEGITIMATE AND, THEREFORE, NULL & VOID!'.
This is awesome. I will share abd hang fluers around my city.

REALLY EXCELLENT James !
I'll print up the pages & share them. Force Multiplier, as has been ventured before.
Thank you for ALL YOUR FINE WORK !
As Always.

Thanks for doing this James !
Two suggestions
1.
Say Womanity instead of mankind.
Man has not been kind enough, man.
2
Get signatories and make it a petition
A movement of peace full sovereignty.
Have I time to read in detail I may offer more.
If you try you will get millions of signatories.
See meryll nasss effort for same thing basically as you are doing and coordinate
3
Medical et Al sovereignty has become the default only issue
Make a medical freedom party
You can call it the Grasshoppers or whatever you like
You can't get their heads out of their cellphones, game machines, I've nearly hit several watching their phones as they come out of the grocery store. Not all are young idiots either.
