While the opinion of any faction must be given just consideration, justice requires that the will of the majority carries commensurate measure. Conscious of core enumerated functions necessary for the maintenance of Liberty, the interests of the vast majority demand the State's subservience to common intent. Denial of such interests is nothing more than a reversion to the methods employed by kings of old.

As we celebrate the anniversary of our independence we may benefit by considering the principles of our founding. We have reasserted our belief in the primary position of The People in our constitutional order, reflecting the ideal that the power of the State is justified only by the consent of the governed. Ensuing due diligence has temporarily prevented an eclipse of our rights. We must be wary of leaving this event as an illusion of victory, for to do so we risk dismissing our immediate obligations. It is our duty to ensure our elected representatives proceed with the proper course of action regarding recent matters. The expression of the ideals of our founding dictates not only that oppression by the few shall be averted, but that the will of The People shall be enforced.

The Senate abiding by the will of The People should not be an aberration. We will accept no less than that our elected public servants perform, in real, meaningful action, the bidding of We who they represent. We must hold accountable those elected representatives who dismissed the voice of The People for the purpose of serving themselves and an elite ruling class. Though justice trumped their vote, we must not forget their selfish transgressions. In these times our resolve must emerge ever more vigilant in defense of principled government by The People, and let us never forget that We are the hands that shape our nations destiny.
