You Are Your Government
When will we step up and fill the shoes of responsible self government? When we ultimately see that freedom isn't free and definitely does not come from Washington D.C.!
You are your government.
Is it 'better in Mentor' or is it a 'city of choice?' What does this slogan mean? Did you know Mentor is the largest city in Lake County? And its budget is about as big as the whole entire county!
Mentor is one of 23 localities of Lake County which is one of 88 counties which make make up our state of Ohio, which together with the other 49, is the United States of America. It's meant to be that way here, individual, close to the people kind of governing, the consent of the governed creates American government.
Freedom's road is self-determined when it is self-governed. And Freedom's road is self-governed when it is self-determined. You've heard, OF The People, FOR The People, BY The People'. There has been a great price paid in our American history, by the courageous before us, to win those prepositions! More than we will ever know.
'The People' are; all the localities 'o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave' which govern ourselves. One little local place after another is takin' care of the citizens' business, each seeking the discovery of the 'consent of the governed' guided by the abidance of our U.S. Constitution thereby maintaining our personal, individual liberty.
Can self-government work any other way? To strive for self-interest is to achieve personal success. That's a liberating thing! Each one of us is free to live by the gift of Divine Providence, to be self-sufficient and independent, deciding our persoal direction. This The Creator gave to the Great Cause, America. This is what makes us different. This is exceptional.
So what do you think, does Mentor govern by the consent of the governed? Elections are how 'we the people' express our consent. Voting is how we give our consent. There are issues and candidates coming before the people on Tuesday, November 8.
Your are your government. Will you be prepared?
