Protestant Reformation 2010

•The interest of the government is no longer in the good of the country but in the financial success of a small group of individuals, some of whom should not be in the positions they are in.

•The other concern is that people believe they don't have influence on government but that there are paid gate keepers whom they had to get past to influence government decisions.

•The so called “leaders” of government are in league with a small group of invisible and powerful people and discriminate against those with less socio-economic power.

The 24 Theses

1. True democracy is the exercise of law within the limits of the U.S. Constitution. Equal protection means that no individual can be placed in an inferior political position to any other individual, group or interest.

2. Elected officials at all levels have no authority to conduct affairs in other than a democratic manner.

3. Democracy applies only to legal citizens and may not be extended to illegal aliens or fictional entities.

4. Rights and privileges extended in the process of democratic government may not go beyond the authority of duly elected officials.

5. Elected officials may not confer benefits beyond the limits of the U.S. Constitution.

6. The success or failure of our functioning as a people depends not on government or preferred interests but on the decisions made by the people as a whole.

7. No individual may be given preferential political or economic power beyond that specified by the U.S. Constitution.

8. Giving preferential political or economic treatment and illicit benefits can destroy the country over time.

9. Not everyone understands the functional necessity for democracy and how it must work to succeed.

10. Preferential treatment and illicit benefits destroy the health of our country by making productive behavior irrelevant.

11. Individual wealth can be better spent than by bribing government officials.

12. Money spent on government officials or industrial monopolies is worth less than money spent on the welfare of U.S. citizens.

13. Benefits conferred by government should not be construed as making the recipients more or less worthy as citizens.

14. All money spent for and by government must be accounted for and elected officials held accountable for its use by the electorate.

15. The first responsibility of a democratic government is to protect minority interests.

16. True government makes the best use of every individual. Corrupted government is only interested in accumulation of wealth.

17. Benefits to individuals have their rightful place in promoting the welfare of all.

18. To assert that the government has the right to overlook or condone misappropriation or misapplication of national resources is to indict the government.

19. The government’s effectiveness to its citizens comes directly from the practice of democratic government.

20. If life, liberty, and happiness are to be available to all, they may not be limited to those who purchase them from the government or from government supported monopolies.

21. Accumulating wealth based on systems of instilling fear and hardship in others is simple extortion.

22. The wealthy, more than the poor, have a responsibility to support public works.

23. We do not need the help of government or the wealthy to lead rewarding successful lives. We only need an environment of freedom supported by all citizens.

24. These issues are serious to the future of our country and its citizens, and elected officials who do not give them their highest attention should be removed from office.

  1. Lo cierto es que no puede haber verdadera libertad mientras impere esa influencia del cristianismo protestante en las diferentes instancias de gobierno ahi en Estados Unidos, y de hecho tampoco en ningún lugar del mundo. Un gobierno que habla de ser la tierra de la libertad e igualdad y al mismo tiempo imprime en sus billetes un clamor al Dios abrahámico y cuyo presidente le invoca en sus discursos para finalizarlos, además de los miembros del Congreso que le usan como excusa para aprobar o rechazar propuestas, es tremenda contradicción. Quite an oxymoron, dirían los anglos.
