RNC - My $0.02
I recently got several requests for money from the RNC for a membership renewal. I have given the Republicans time, and more time, and more time, to do what the promised they would do- smaller government that follows the Constitution. Now they whine when they lose Congress and wonder why. I am finally past my limit. Here is the letter I returned to them:
Dear [RNC person],
You can count on me! Unfortunately, I have learned that I cannot count on the Republican Party. I have not abandoned the Republican Party, the Party abandoned The People, of which I am one.
The Republican Party has done more to expand government control and increase socialist agenda during the time we have had the House, the Senate, and The Presidency than ever before in the history of the party. Until the Republican Party is again committed to the Constitution, my support is going to be limited to $0.02. If the Republican Party continues down the road that it appears to have chosen, I will join and support a third party.
The Republican Party has abandoned The People. On September 11, 2001, the world did not change. We have always been threatened, and an attack on us was finally successful. But instead of battling this evil that we had finally been awakened to, the Republican Party decided to side with the terrorists. They systematically removed freedoms, “cracked down”, and gave the government even more power. They ignored the Constitution and gave the federal government authority to violate the 2nd, 4th , and 10th Amendments in our airports. They expanded the federal police system, gave it broad and unconstitutional powers, and partnered it with our international intelligence systems. For some reason, the Republican Party decided that our own people within our own country are more of a threat than the millions of people loyal to other countries who flood across the border every year.
Since Bush took office, with a Congress that the Republican Party had complete control over, spending on socialist programs took off to levels higher than ever before in our nation's history. Once again, the Republican Party simply is ignoring the Constitution by taking powers that the government has not been given.
Since Bush took office, with a Congress that the Republican Party had complete control over, Americans' right to keep and bear arms has had just as many losses as gains. Unfortunately, the losses were put in place by the Republican Party, and the gains were only gained because all the Republican Party had to do was ignore the Assault Weapons Ban sunset, which Bush said he would sign if it was passed by Congress. Bush expanded the BATFE, changing them from part of the Treasury Department to the executive branch as actual law enforcement. He made fully automatic weapons completely illegal, with an exception only for military and law enforcement – which are government. He therefore took the right to bear arms from The People, and gave it to the government.
No, the Republican Party left us. And it will not get my continued support until they begin to once again work for The People by restoring our freedom. True security comes with true freedom, because free people will die to protect that freedom. Whatever the Republican Party is doing now is neither freedom nor security.
The Republican Party can count on my continued support when they reclaim some of the values that they have abandoned. They can start with the following:
-Abolish TSA and all federal airline “security” regulations and give the task of security back to The People and the airlines themselves. WE CAN HANDLE IT. It's the job of the U.S. Government to fight terrorism overseas and at the border. Let The People have control of our own country. Of course, international air travel security is in fact the job of the U.S. Government as explained in the Constitution as an international airport is in fact part of the border.
-Abolish the BATFE and give the right back to the people to keep and bear arms. Eradicate every single gun law from the U.S. Code. The government does not have the power to control firearms. They have taken it from us at gunpoint, and will legally kill or throw anyone in jail who exercises parts of this basic and inherent right.
-Abolish any and all federal laws regarding abortion and marriage. These are not federal issues as the Constitution has not granted this power to the federal government.
-Secure the border. This is one of the few things that the U.S. Government is required to do, and about the only thing they are not doing.
-Abolish all federal socialist programs, even if they need to be phased out over time. This would include Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Welfare and all federal involvement in education.
-Stop holding money hostage from The States. The States should never be given money from the federal government. This can be accomplished by not taxing The People to begin with.
-Institute a simple tax code with an absolute cap of 5-10% per individual. This will also have the effect of limiting the government as they will only have enough money to fulfill their constitutional duties.
-Focus on releasing all other federal control over The People and give this control back to The People. This would most likely mean getting rid of almost all of federal law. This is freedom, and the Republican Party should stand for no less.
-Restrict the government, not The People. The People should be free. If they are, the government should find it very difficult to do their job. That's how it is when freedom is in place.
-GIVE THE PEOPLE THEIR COUNTRY BACK. This is a country “of The People, by The People, and for The People.” As long as the government is ruling The People, freedom is lost.
Are these things political suicide? Try it and find out. You will find that Americans actually like freedom. Are these things a pipe dream? Anyone who says that true freedom is a pipe dream will never get my support.
Do this, and the Republican Party will have shown that they have begun to turn around. But even this is only the beginning. Until then, I will not support the Republican Party beyond my $0.02.
