Imagine a 4th of July speech that any one of our Founding Fathers, especially George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson, could have given from heaven to the American people. The Founder’s remarks would be made to our people via live television and to our Federal Government’s leaders in a State of the Union Address format. Our President, members of the United States Supreme Court, and our Congress, would be in joint session to hear the Founder’s address. Those of you who are 60+ years of age, or older, will recognize and embrace the Founder’s indictment of all branches of our Federal government for their poor stewardship of our Constitutional Republic; a Republic they founded in Revolution, sealed by the U.S. Constitution, and bequeathed to us in trust, in 1787.
In our imagination, the Founder delivering the address would show concern that our freedoms, as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s first 10 Amendments, the Bill of Rights, are in jeopardy. Those of you educated in our public schools and colleges in the late 1960’s won’t grasp what the Founder is saying; you were never taught about the Founders’ sacrifices to establish our Republic as a nation which belonged to the People, a Republic to be governed by elected representatives who were required to only enact laws in compliance with the precepts and constraints of our Constitution. The Founder would say that our nation was not founded to be a pure democracy where critical government decisions are controlled by public opinion polls, and special interest groups. It was founded in a checks and balances framework among the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court to assure all final government decisions and actions impacting the American people are made within the constraints of the Constitution, and are not subject to the immediate passions of the mob.
Sincerely,
Duke Dodge, Secretary NASAA |
