Two hundred forty-four years ago, the resolve, courage, and wisdom of our Founding Fathers forever changed the course of history. For the first time, with the ratification of our Declaration of Independence, mankind was offered an unmatched societal ideal and dignified way of life. People were recognized for what they truly are by nature: created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Rights which do not derive from the government, but from our Creator.
Within the Constitution, our founders sealed these God-given rights, and protected them by instituting a limited form of self-government along with a robust judicial system. This combination has kept the promise of freedom for future generations alive and allows injustices to be rectified. This is what makes America exceptional. Since her founding in 1776, America has stood as a beacon of hope for the world’s subjugated peoples. America has fought not only for her own survival, she has come to the aid of the torn masses of war and terrorism, and of nature’s disasters.
America is being tested and she is fighting for survival. We see forces that want to bring her to her knees, and discard to the trash heap her centuries-long promise as a beacon of hope, to her people and to the world. These forces have infiltrated America’s governing and judicial institutions, her news media, social media and tech platforms, her education and universities, Hollywood, Broadway and her professional sports. The forces are pervasive, but America’s principles and promise are strong. America is truly exceptional and her people are rising to her defense just as she has for countless millions. She needs us now.
Rise to America’s defense. Vote for the principles for which this country stood since its founding. Vote for Constitutional government. Vote for a strong and viable military. Vote for a vibrant economy. Vote for the right to keep and bear arms. Vote for the freedom to worship. Vote for a national recognition of the founding of our nation on Biblical principles.
Vote for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after. Vote for the opportunity for anyone to choose to rise above their circumstances and pursue liberty and happiness. Vote for our children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated. Vote that we have strong borders and that they are open to everyone who enters legally.
Vote for law and order to keep us safe. Vote for the Electoral College to remain in place so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control our elections. Vote for a stable Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution as it is written rather than rewriting it to fit a progressive agenda. Vote that we cherish and teach our history, with all its warts, not erase it or revise it.
Embrace America’s exceptionalism. Vote Donald Trump for president
