The failure to amass constituent support for government reform… is the result of leadership’s unwillingness to effectively support and resource reform. The public constituency for reform is ripe… it is present… but it needs to be groomed and developed... organized and supported… with the backing of a major political party, or a cabal of individuals, with the resources to convince the public that their support will make a difference. The public must believe their efforts will not be betrayed… or their efforts abandoned on the field... for a lack of resourcing by a manipulative and fickle leadership.
In the past, political parties were organized from constituencies with common interests. However, today the major political parties are not there to serve their constituent's INTERESTS or the common good of the public. The political parties of today exist to finance and maintain the party elite’ and their HOLD-ON POWER. They maintain a closed system of political hacks at the helm of our government, who serve a plutocracy, not the public.
If the political party system in America served the PUBLIC… the party leadership would be focused on saving the Republic, not on using its constituency to maintain a corrupt system of government. As the famous Scott, William Wallace, once chided the Lords of Scottland: "The people don't exist to support your interests. You (The Lords of Scotland) exist to support the people...”
The Leadership in our current Political Parties could learn from Wallace… It is leadership that must serve the people, not the other way around. If liberty and freedom are to reign in a nation its leaders must have the willing consent of the people to govern. The Lords of Scotland then and today need to serve their constituency; in doing so, they secure the best interests of all parties governed… securing the People’s voluntary consent to the government’s legitimate leadership.
The constituency for change and reform is present in the fields of America… the seeds of liberty remain on hallowed ground, they lay fallow and need tending and nurturing. Our leaders need to plow again the fields of liberty… to bring back a harvest of liberty and the bread of freedom to our homes in America.,. We must return to defend the fields of liberty if our children and their children are to eat of the bounty of our forefathers… in this great land, we call AMERICA.
