Knowing Our Leaders

It's our responsibility to know as much about the people that we elect as possible. To say that this is a matter of life and death is not an exaggeration. Government officials make decisions every day that will affect our lives and the lives of people around the world. Knowing information pertinent to how they will react in certain situations and how they will make important decisions in which lives are at stake is necessary for both our country and the world.

They Belong to What!? Read More

Many of our representatives belong to organizations that most Americans would strongly disapprove of. The ideals that these organizations advocate and represent are often completely contrary to the ideals that our leaders claim adherence to in an effort to be become elected. These questionable ideals are even evident in the decisions that these men make once in office, but officials are unlikely to mention that they belong to these groups. These affiliations are rarely mentioned by the modern media despite the broad influence these groups are able to exert on many of the people that run our country.

Some of these affiliations are with well-known, open organizations, and some are with questionable, secretive societies and fraternities. These organizations include the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull and Bones, and even Project for a New American Century, but there are also many other organizations whose members occupy important positions in the US government as well as other influential corporations and institutions.Read more about Influential Organizations here.

They did What!?

Looking at what people did in the past can sometimes be a good indication of what they will do in the future. We should be careful not to be too concerned with what somebody did 25 years ago, but at the same time we must recognize any insight that these actions may provide about a person's future actions. Misconduct during one's youth is to be expected, but when this same misconduct continues much later in life, we should exercise extreme caution when considering whether a candidate is worthy of our support.

"We think experience has proved it safer for the mass of individuals composing the society to reserve to themselves personally the exercise of all rightful powers to which they are competent and to delegate those to which they are not competent to deputies named and removable for unfaithful conduct by themselves immediately."

- Thomas Jefferson, 1816.

Lives of Privilege to Lives of Service...

Most high-ranking "government" officials today come from affluent backgrounds. To a certain extent, this is to be expected, but many voters fail to see the danger inherent to this aspect of our situation. The majority of Americans are not from "privileged" backgrounds, and in fact, most cannot relate to those who have been fortunate enough to come from "old money." In the same way, many of our "government" officials are incapable of relating to the conditions, concerns, and experiences of the common citizen. Despite this, their wealth allows them the means to compel us common citizens to support them. This is simply wrong; we should be compelled to vote for the candidate that is most likely to uphold the constitution and weigh principle with public sentiment.
