We keep politics simple for economic success: KISS.


Moses made it simple with the Ten Commandments:


Honour God.
Beware false Idols.
Use God's Name and power wisely.
Observe the Sabbath.
Honour Parents and Families.
No Murder.
No Adultery.
No Theft.
No Lying.
No Coveting.


Jesus, the Latter Day Saints et al made it even simpler and deeper:


Love Good.
Love yourself and your neighbour like you love Good.


My family comes from a long line of immigrants, manufacturers, ministry, native Americans whose Constitution was adopted by the United States of America, and veterans in all branches of the military.

Our founding fathers, mothers and children were God-loving builders, good neighbors and pioneers.


Today these life-affirming principles of liberty, peace and prosperity are too often forgotten.


Our ancestors survived famine, hardships, plagues and poverty to live and grow in freedom, peace and prosperity with simple practical profound Declarations and Constitutions like these that should be read and consulted every day by our public servants:


The Declaration:


Our Creator endows us with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.


When government becomes destructive of these rights, it is our right to change it.


Our Constitution:


We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America:

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.


A careful reading of these Constitutional requirements convinces us government has violated them and shall be changed per our Declaration of Independence.


Every elected representative and government employee takes an oath to defend, protect and uphold our Constitution.


So why are we voters letting politicians violate our Constitution with immunity and impunity?...
