(Please do so before forwarding.)] *Rally Day: Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Jefferson City, MO -- 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.*
*That all political power is vested in and derived from the people;
that all government of right originates from the people,
is founded upon their will only,
and is instituted solely for the good of the whole.
(Art. I Sec. 1, Missouri Constitution)*
*Missouri's state reps sworn in today.
Took oath to "support and defend the government "!*
Tom,
Article III, Section 15 of the Missouri Constitution requires each state
senator and representative to take the following oath of office:
*"I do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I will support the Constitution of
the United States and of the state of Missouri, and faithfully perform the
duties of my office, and that I will not knowingly receive, directly or
indirectly, any money or other valuable thing for the performance or
nonperformance of any act or duty pertaining to my office, other than the
compensation allowed by law."*
The Constitution is the People's compact, or agreement, stipulating their
duties to one another and the *limits on the government* the people created
to execute those duties. Government's purpose is to serve the people. It's
"principal office" is to protect our liberty. (Art. I Sec. 2)
Today, Wednesday, January 9th, the Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme
Court officiated the swearing in of the entire House of Representative.
The legally blind judge's version of the oath varied from the
Constitutionally stipulated version, though...
*Rather than swearing to support and defend the Constitution, the judge had
the entire body state that they would support and defend the GOVERNMENT!*
Tom, that's a huge mistake to make and a terribly bad message to send to
men and women whose primary task is to protect our liberty, not government.
One of the things we will be doing at the Consent of the Governed Rally on
Jan. 16th is present a formal request to the leaders of the House and
Senate, asking them to instruct the chairman of each committee to have
their committees evaluate the constitutionality of each bill.
In addition to the framed copy of the Constitution, we will present each
legislator with a framable copy of their oath of office.
Please join us -- we must remind each legislator that they are there at the
consent of the governed!
For liberty,
Ron
ps Each rep also signed a copy of the correct oath of office, so they are
legally sworn in.
