Judges think they are Kings.



 The last time this land was ruled by kings we found it was time for revolution.

In 1776, fifty-six patriots signed The Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence provides the reasoning to change our form of government, and our dissolution from the English Crown. A portion of the document’s principles and ideals are; Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” 

During the two thousand nine hundred ninety-two days of President Obama, he  issued executive orders without Congressional concurrence regarding; immigration amnesty, environment, labor and industry regulation, ignoring defense, national spending, etc. if these, and his 2012 Benghazi obfuscations were not causes for his removal, then the time came and went for our Senators and Congressmen, regardless of party, to send a strong message to Barack Obama telling him He has moved our country’s Presidency to the verge of becoming a dictatorial executive. His Benghazi e-mail claim were an insult and proof of lies or ineptitude. Few voters knew Obama in 2008, but we now know that he was in opposition to our country’s principles. It is time for those who twice voted for Barack Obama, and news media that endorsed him twice, to acknowledge we have a Constitution and Laws.

Our President Trump has come from our votes under the Constitution. We need a President that is forthright and principled, and above all true to the Constitution. 

As Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams "I hold that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing and is as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."

This doesn't mean we need to take out our muskets or pitch forks. We do need to have our voices heard. Is it time to silence judges who take it on themselves to find fault with words spoken under freedom of speech. The recent acts of a judges, in Hawaii and San Fransisco, deserve our voices of shout to silence their acts. They have rights to opinions but not to act without a case being presented as a reason for their issuing stays.

Is your; state, County, Town, and you represented?



I was thinking about our United Stated of America. It led me to look at our flag. Note the fifty stars and their evolution into existence today. Each star represents one of the state but none have a name. When the legendary seamstress attached them she was did not embroider which star represented which state. Our Constitution make no delineation about the states except for the fact that representatives of the states shall meet and select the President of the United State. This procedure gives each state a voice separate from neighbors within the nation. That known procedure today is our electoral college. What is missed in our states and local government is a similar set of voices that gives local voices within our state the ability to be expressed apart or together with neighboring counties or districts. 

New Jersey has twenty-one counties, but only fourteen electoral votes. California has fifty-five electoral votes. 

The Electoral College is a protective system for our State as well as for Delaware which has three Electoral Votes. 

In the County of Gloucester there are twenty-four; towns, cities, townships, boroughs, etc. Our county government has seven Freeholders representing the twenty four division.  Some of the county’s political divisions have wards where the voting takes place. Do the seven freeholders represent individual towns? Actually the voted or elected freeholders could all come from one or several towns, not representative of a minor or major division.

The Township of Washington has thirty- nine voting districts represented by five council seats which could, but not likely, come from one voting district.
 It is time to adopt Wards for our town. What about your town’s government representation?
