Give A Damn! A Petition for real change in
America's elected representative
Republic form of governance by democracy!
As one of a million voices of We the
People, we the undersigned, all citizens of this great
Union of Fifty United States of America, do hereby
proclaim our desire, our wish and our demand to change
the direction of this nation and to reorder the
priorities of our governance.
|
A. We believe America must stop the nasty,
negative, mean-spirited, vicious, vindictive, vile,
virulent, vitriolic, venomous and vomit-generating
discourse of partisan political bickering by all in
the current two party system ruling in Washington,
D.C; and |
|
B. We believe America must change our federal
government from being a dysfunctional, ineffective,
inefficient and near useless entity and to do this
we must end the failed incumbency of politics as
usual in Washington with leaders who have not proven
to be worthy when selected from the questionably
motivated and selfishly driven power hungry class
who would be career politicos; and
|
|
C. We believe America must terminate the
stranglehold by the single-issue focused special
interest groups, their lobbyists and their powerful
almighty dollar voices influencing the best
government their money can buy; and |
|
D. We believe America must establish
cumulative term limits as the new accepted national
standard for any individual offering to serve in
any and all elective public offices thereby bringing
to an end the musical chairs game of career
politicos used to evade prior term limit statutes |
|
E. We believe, as did the founders of this nation,
that public service is a duty of citizenship and a
privilege, not intended to be a life-long career
pursuit; and |
|
F. We believe our nation's leadership
always and only should
come from among
the best we have to offer from our
entire population of lawful citizens... the most
honest, most decent, most moral, most ethical,
most honorable, most responsible.
most reliable,
most
respected, most trustworthy, most truthful, most
successful, best education and with the
highest degree of unquestionable integrity of all
American's; and
|
|
G. We believe America must change the practice of
nominating and electing our leaders primarily based
upon political ideology, party loyalty and
manipulative political gamesmanship, and refocus leadership
selection criteria on real world experiences,
personal qualifications, successful credentials and
respected virtue traits of integrity and ethical
morality; and |
|
H. We believe when our nation ignores recognized
personal talent, the value and virtues of real world
experiences and proven success credentials they also
ignore the important dispute resolution principle of
"Compromise". Unfortunately that is a core element
necessary for a successful and proper functioning
democratic Republic through which the voice of we
the people MUST be heard! |
|
I. We believe career politicos are so
stubbornly entrenched in their own ideological
beliefs
they too often ignore the most important principle
necessary for the continued success and survival of
any form of democracy. That is, all government
decision-making should in the final instance, be
made based upon what is in the E Pluribus Unum
Common Good best interests of all America and for
all Americans! |
NOW THEREFORE, based upon all of the
above reasons, we the undersigned do hereby declare our
unequivocal and unwavering support for and our desire to
encourage the 2012 candidacy of the best this nation
has to offer
and that is in our opinion without
question epitomized in the person of former
Massachusetts Governor, W. Mitt Romneya man of the
highest business, personal and social integrity, a man
known and respected for his honor, decency, ethical
morality, trustworthiness and truthfulness a man of
high education from BYU and Harvard University and a man
of proven successful credentials in the real world of
business and economics, as well as in his civic and
social life. He is a man for all seasons a man for all
Americans a patriot, a civic leader, an honest man, an
honorable son, husband, father, grandfather, colleague
and friend from whom you could ask no more!
Why, you may ask, do we give such
strong support to a Citizens Candidate with our strong
stated disappointment in the failed incumbencies of
career politicos and the destructive behavior of the
political parties in America, with added favor toward
term limits?
Because WE THE PEOPLE,
concerned Americans, and the signatories hereunder
freely state that We Give A Damn
for our country
and its future for the sake of our children,
grandchildren and all future generations. We believe the
vox populi must once again be heard loud and clear, like
the shot heard round the world at the Concord Bridge,
and as another Liberty Bell ringing or a beacon of light
warning of the dangers at freedom's door as once
proclaimed and given by patriot Paul Revere.
We believe in restoring the U.S.
Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land that is
intended to preserve and protect human dignity and freedom of
all mankind, plus the Right to Privacy and Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of happiness! We want to spark a new but
peaceful revolution in America and to do so now is the
time and hour for all good American's to stand and be
counted for the E Pluribus Unum Common Good best
interests of this Great Union of Fifty United States of
America! We want to once again be the beacon of light to
the world and that shining city of a hill!
We hereby humbly request
and beseech W. Mitt Romney to offer his services to
the nation by becoming the Citizen's Candidate of
preference for the 2012 Presidency as we sincerely
feel he is the last and best hope
for turning around our troubled economy;
for bringing an end to the common place
mean-spirited and nasty partisan political bickering
in political circles, in the public square and in
government;
for restarting our dysfunctional government;
for re-ordering our national priorities;
for rewriting our national vision and renewing our
faith and hope in public service and our nations
future; and
for simply putting the nation back on the right
tract to a respected and prosperous world leadership
future."
