Thomas Jefferson on true republican governance

12/27/2012

 
"All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."

--Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, 1801

Thomas Jefferson: The measure of republicanism

12/4/2012

 
"If, then, the control of the people over the organs of their government be the measure of its republicanism, and I confess I know no other measure, it must be agreed that our governments have much less of republicanism than ought to have been expected; in other words, that the people have less regular control over their agents, than their rights and their interests require."

-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Taylor, 1816

Thomas Jefferson: "Love your country more than yourself"

11/21/2012

 
"Love your neighbor as yourself and your country more than yourself."

-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Jefferson Smith, 1825
    "That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

    Keep the Oath
    We believe:

    We're One Nation Under God.

    The first sworn duty of every officer of government is to protect the God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty, and private property of every person, from creation to natural death.

    The God-given institution of one man-one woman marriage and the natural family must be protected.

    The right of the people to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.

    Our national sovereignty, security, and borders must be defended.

    Our republican form of representative self-government must be adhered to.

    The oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States must be fulfilled.
