"Whenever there is an interest and power to do
wrong, wrong will generally be done, and not less readily by a powerful and
interested party than by a powerful and interested prince." - Madison to Jefferson in 1788
The above statement shows
that the Founders of our Republic feared parties of the people as much as they
did a royal government. Americans today
are frustrated. The political choices they are offered give them no real
choice at all. For all their talk of "change," neither major
political party challenges the status quo in any serious way. Neither
treats the Constitution with anything but contempt. Neither offers any
kind of change in monetary policy. Neither wants to make the reductions
in government that our crushing debt burden demands. Neither talks about
bringing American troops home not just from Iraq but from around the
world. Our country is going bankrupt, and none of these sensible
proposals are even on the table. This
destructive bipartisan consensus has suffocated American political life for
many years. Anyone who tries to ask fundamental questions instead of
cosmetic ones is ridiculed or ignored.
That is why the Campaign for Liberty
was established: to highlight the neglected but common-sense principles we
champion and reinsert them into the American political conversation.
The U.S. Constitution is at the heart of what the Campaign for Liberty stands for, since the very least we can demand
of our government is fidelity to its own governing document. The claims
that our Constitution was meant to be a "living document" that judges
may interpret as they please are fraudulent, incompatible with republican
government and without foundation in the constitutional text or the thinking of
the Framers. Thomas Jefferson spoke of binding our rulers down from
mischief by the chains of the Constitution, and we are proud to follow in his
distinguished lineage.
"In
questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind
him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." – Thomas Jefferson
Our country is ailing. That’s the bad news. The good
news is that the remedy is so simple and attractive: a return to the principles
our Founders taught us. Respect for the Constitution, the rule of law,
individual liberty, sound money, and a noninterventionist foreign policy
constitute the foundation of the Campaign for Liberty. In the words of Thomas Jefferson:
“Though
written constitutions may be violated in moments of passion or delusion, yet
they furnish a text to those who are watchful, that they may again rally and
recall the people.” - Thomas Jefferson, 1802
Will you join us?
This is the local chapter that is part of
the national Campaign for Liberty movement. There are no set boundaries and
anyone who is interested in freedom and constitutional government is more than
welcome to join. The group was initially
organized for those in the Austin County, Texas area but people from other
outlying areas are more than welcome to take part. The point of the CFL at the local level is to
organize our group around our representatives and be able to present our needs
and concerns to them as a group while moving our country back to its
constitutional roots. In an ideal world, there would be a Local Campaign for
Liberty chapter for every house member in the U.S. House of Representatives.
However, we also concern ourselves with state and local politics just as well. Since we all have busy lives, the secondary
focus of the group is to utilize the power of the internet to allow those who
can only take part occasionally the ability to stay in touch and continue to
participate.
