Establishing the grounds for independence, the drafters of The Declaration reiterated a fundamental truth: The ideation of State power must be bound to consensual enforcement of the Will of the People. Achieving State accountability is an onerous task even in theory, and in practice governance forever falls short of our best intentions. While we accept that imperfection is inherent to any endeavor of man, there is a level of dysfunction beyond which the affairs of the State may not pass, for in so doing, the State itself relinquishes its very purpose for existing.
We are approaching that horizon of dysfunction. Congress and the Executive have undeniably ignored their core responsibilities to the people, and indulged themselves in an orgy of self-serving spending, nepotism, and outright fraud.
Non-binding resolutions, Pork and waste.
Cash in the freezer, Corporate gravy to taste.
Bridges to NoWhere, Unfunded mandate.
Federal overreach, The People they hate.
Tax them forever, and undermine their fate.
Recently witnessing similar tactics and manipulation in the defective amnesty bill, it is time we held accountable those who participated in this act of cynicism. It is in our best interest to propose a border bill which holds our elected bound to common intent, and excludes any alternative which bears dishonorable temptation, forcing our representatives to vote with honesty. It is truly unfortunate that a matter so great has been incorporated with legislative bribes intended to overrule the will of The People.
The legislation shall have no sign of monies allotted to any appended purpose other than effectively erecting a partition, and without augmented measure supplementary to the appropriated requirements therein. The proposal must embrace a rigid schedule asserting segments of the partition are completed and reviewed to be satisfactory. A clean bill encompassing strict financial discipline will place our representatives in a position of voting solely with or against The People, a position from which there is no contention from pork or divergent elements distorting congressional focus and loyalties. Forced to vote in such a manner, our elected officials have the opportunity to distinguish themselves as representatives of The People, or mere parasites upon the body politic. We may then reassess the need for the services of any representative with loyalties to employers other than their constituents.
Dwelling in its current bureaucracy, the border patrol is forced to compromise the necessary attention required to combat human trafficking and numerous security risks facing our nation. Their focus must be uncompromisable, and their service must be deliberate and loyal to National Security. Within its current anatomy, the agency is in proximate relationship with US Customs. Though appearing logical at first glance, this dependency inevitably skews focus and creates an unacceptable conflict of interest. International intellectual property rights enforcement, the purview of Customs, carries such enormous mercantile value, and imbues such a powerful lobbying force, that National Security interests take a back seat to intercepting the next shipment of pirated wares. The sovereignty of the Nation must not be compromised by the entanglement of special interests.
The actions of our representatives are contemptible. Their persistent obstinance in these matters has pressed the people to the bounds of their tolerance. Our voice has resounded a single recurring concern which can only be dispelled through securing the border. In these times requiring exacting security for the citizens, we are growing alarmed by the charades in congress. Our prescribed policy is intended to unveil the vermin within the halls of Washington and to focus a crucial line of defense in National Security. By focusing on security first, these policies will answer The People's demands, while inflicting accountability upon those disloyal to the ideals of Self-Governance. So be it that we may protect and preserve our Liberty and the Sovereignty of this Nation.
