From Whom Does Our Government Derive Its Powers?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

  1. This truly is the turning point of our society. Any government will expand its powers, it's up to us to keep that from happening. So far, we've done fairly well; this election is doomed and I don't say that lightly. No matter who wins, government does, not the people. Guess I'd better go brush up on that Spanish.
