Our Constitution
The Constitution of the United States serves as the foundation of this country and its laws. It is the final protection of the rights of the individual against the encroachments of an over-zealous government, and against the infractions of other citizens.
The Constitution DOES NOT guarantee food to eat, a place to live, a job, free healthcare, or the right not to be offended. The Constitution IS NOT subject to judicial reinterpretation as a "living document," and DOES NOT permit the formation of a dominant federal government that undermines the proper role of state and local governments. The Constitution DOES protect individual liberty and promote a system where people, through their own hard work and according to their own merits, can have food to eat, a place to live, a decent job, access to medical care, and a polite society.
When members of the US House of Representatives are sworn-in, they all take the following oath:
"I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
How many Congressmen remember to defend the 9th Amendment?
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
How many remember to defend the 10th Amendment?
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
As a lifelong conservative constitutionalist, Christina Jeffrey will continue to be a firm supporter of the Constitution, a proponent of limited government, and a defender of individual liberty against the nanny state. Let's send her to Congress and strike a positive blow in the cause of Liberty!
