“A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either.”
~ Thomas Paine (1737-1809) US Founding father, pamphleteer, author
Your consent can be withdrawn at anytime. You do not have to wait for an election. Unfortunately, ignorance of the masses along with tyranny rampant throughout government means most will not acknowledge that right.

I LOVE me some good Paine.
Paine has so much common sense.
