Awakening a Constitution

Many people have watched in anticipation, as we listened to the first of three Presidential debates, but I can’t help but think about the Constitution.   Has America reached its breaking point?  It’s hard to believe that unemployment has decreased to a record low of 7.8% with so many people out of work. Or is it that we have become conditioned by the media and politicians to believe that our economy has actually improved?  It’s hard to believe. The one event in American history that can be positively believed is the Constitution. Developed to protect; it is the legal document that speaks for us and our wants as an American people.  Our Constitution allows for us to have freedom and ownership for our wages.

Today, we live in a hectic pace of distractions that we often don’t know who to believe. We can’t fully understand how or why we ever got into this mess. The means by which the poorer classes of society are challenged by the privileges of the upper classes and setting the stage for the political conflicts that ultimately are directly to a Revolution. Back in Colonial America the first great awakening prepared men and women to become involved in the political process; an awakening that was crucial to the re-structuring of government and politics.  When we begin to realize the prime mission of the Federal government under the Constitution; which is to protect us of inalienable rights, freedoms, and property of the individual; one can see how far the federal government has strayed from its legitimate role. Patrick Henry said it best: “I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.”
