United States Citizen's Pledge

Get Educated, Get Active, Save America!
Whereas
, the United States of America stands alone among nations in its founding upon the two greatest Charters of Liberty ever created -- the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming self-evident Truths, including the unalienable rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and the U.S. Constitution, which enshrined these Truths by binding government to carefully selected enumerated powers, while reserving all other power to the States or to the People;
Whereas
, America’s founding principles such as limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise, personal responsibility, and the rule of law under the U.S. Constitution, have inspired its citizens and harnessed their indomitable spirit and boundless energy to create the most innovative, prosperous, and morally straight nation ever to exist, which has served as a beacon to the world of the limitless power of freedom;
Whereas
, so many Americans have dutifully sacrificed the very life they so cherished to
honor and defend these American principles, and to bestow the blessings of liberty upon each of us, and generations unborn;
Whereas
, America has strayed from these founding principles and has elected leaders who undermine the principles and commands of our great Charters of Liberty by usurping power reserved for the people, and spending money reserved for our children;
Whereas
, our privilege as citizens of this great nation carries with it a solemn duty to alter or abolish any such government that abuses its power, which we can accomplish only by electing leaders who cherish our heritage and our founding principles, and are steadfast in their adherence to America’s two great Charters of Liberty;
Therefore
, I pledge to carry out my duties as a United States Citizen by making the following 5 commitments to myself and my country:
| |
1. To educate myself on the most important political issues facing the country now, such as government spending and deficits, the economy, health care, terrorism, and national security; |
| |
2. To find out where my candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate (if any), as well as State and local candidates stand on key issues; |
| |
3. To register to vote and then actually vote for the candidates I personally believe represent my views on these issues on election day, November 2, 2010; |
| |
4. To find between 10-20 people to personally and individually approach to take this United States Citizen’s Pledge; |
| |
5. To personally see that each of my U.S. Citizen’s Pledge recruits actually registers and votes on November 2, 2010. |
