A Tyrant is Unfit to be Ruler of a Free People

When in the Course of National events, it becomes necessary for Citizens to consider re-election of its President, a decent respect to the opinions of fellow Citizens requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to vote in the negative.  Foremost in any consideration, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of its primary ends, those ends being to secure certain unalienable rights which were endowed by their Creator, that it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it.  We have the duty and opportunity every four years to review the record of our national leaders as to their adherence to the primary ends of Government and their various other policies and this present President is found hostile to our unalienable rights and well being.

The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object, if not the establishment of, an unconstitutional restructuring of our system of government resulting in an absolute Tyranny over these States.  To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid nation. 

He has refused his Assent to Laws, namely the Defense of Marriage Act.  The law passed by the Congress is ignored by the Executive Branch and even opposed in court by the chief lawyer.  Under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, the President has the duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”

Likewise, he has refused to enforce applicable Immigration law, and after Congress failed to pass legislation (so-called DREAM Act) he desired providing sanctuary or amnesty for young illegal immigrants, he defied the Separation of Powers of the Constitution and issued orders executing the law anyway.  To add insult he has sued States who have attempted to enforce Immigration law or take action to defend their States from illegal immigration.

Contrary to the First Amendment, he has required people of faith to violate their conscience by forcing them to supply contraceptives, including abortifacients, in mandated health insurance. 

The present President has ignored repeated requests by the Congress to turn over facts regarding the botched Fast and Furious gun-running operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), forcing the Majority Party in the House of Representatives to sue the President and the Attorney General for contempt.

He has engaged in the most unbecoming and offensive examples of class warfare, constantly attacking the so-called rich (the richest twenty percent of Americans pay seventy percent of the taxes) for not paying their Fair Share.  He uses the "Fair Share" argument to fuel envious passions for his own political benefit and to the detriment of the American Dream.

He has exhibited an antipathy to Private Enterprise.  He constantly attacks any manner of "Big" business (health insurance, bankers, oil companies, et al), some directly by name, from the platform of his Office, to foster envy and hatred for successful enterprises, and to further his political agenda.

This present President has taken over private industry, such as automotive manufacturing, in the name of saving jobs, but in so-doing robbing bondholders of their investment and value, and unfairly placing the government in direct competition with similar businesses.

In general, he has favored a policy of "spreading the wealth around" and of attacking Capitalism as an evil impediment to his Statist desires instead of understanding the great engine of opportunity and wealth creation it has been for these United Sates.

He has supported, the crafting, and signed into Law, an unconstitutional mandate that requires the Citizens of these States to purchase a commercial good, health insurance.

This present President has embarrassed us abroad by repeated apologies for imagined offenses while abrogating his duty by ignoring real threats to our security. He has lacked moral clarity and failed to acknowledge the rising radical Islamist threat that brazenly attacks us and our interests at home and abroad.


He has placed an immoral burden of debt on future generations by operating this Federal Government at more than a trillion dollars in deficit per year.  He has showered the People with Government programs we cannot afford, to gain favor with special interests, and to trap vulnerable Citizens into dependency.

These are but eleven serious issues Citizens concerned about Liberty and the future Prosperity of these United States should consider.  There are many others we could list, but these alone are more than enough to provide just cause for our negative vote.

Our repeated petitions over these violations of the Constitution, abuses of power, bullying, usurpations, and immoralities have been answered only by repeated injury: were are described as clinging to our guns and religion, we are selfish, we are racist, we are intolerant!  This present President, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be ruler of a free people.

We must in good conscience, then, exercise our Right this next election and replace this present President with a new one.
