NO KINGS
Now that it’s all over, here are my thoughts about the “No Kings” demonstrations:
We are the people of the Unite States of America. We are a people of principle and honor. We honor our communities and stand by our allies. We defend against aggression and dictators. We uphold and defend our Constitution. We care for veterans, and children, and seniors. We support a healthy national and international economy, community and environment. We believe it is our duty and privilege to feed the hungry, heal the sick and comfort the needy. We are the world leader entrusted to uphold the stability of the rule of law.
We are the people of the Unite States of America. The honor, dignity and integrity of our country are not for sale. Our Government is Of The People, By the People and For the People.
That is not the creed of Tyrants. In their reality, you are meant to feel powerless. That is what a strongman wants: make you feel as if nothing can stop his taking over of your country. This is Donald T****’s strategy, it is what he is counting on.
Our country and our way of life hang in precarious balance.
Our democratic institutions rely on the compliance of its citizens and leaders with and within the law. They are not capable of dealing with the existential threat of tyrannical defiance.
Our Founding Fathers presumed and relied on the intentions of good and honorable men to hold the reigns of power and authority. But Donald T**** is neither a good nor honorable man.
The 1st Amendment guarantees our right to free speech and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. That is the purpose of “No Kings.” It is for us to exercise those rights, to fill the streets across the country and make our petitions with loud, strong language. It is not necessary to be nice; Donald T**** not a nice man.
Our one, our strongest weapon in defense of our country, our liberty and our freedom is ourselves, our voices and our righteous anger. T**** wants us to feel powerless to stop him.
He must see that we are not.
We must forcefully demonstrate that ours is a government of the people, by the people and for the people, that he does not make laws for us nor is he above them. And if he endeavors to become so, we can and will bring him down.
And we have the way to do that. We have the way to fight against his lust for power. We have our voices. We have the ballot box. We have the One Path Forward.
