The uniparty has indoctrinated many with the belief that there is no choice but to vote for them and that a vote for anyone else is a &#8220;wasted vote&#8221; or a vote for the &#8220;other team.&#8221; Their bipartisan efforts to keep voter options limited is only surpassed by their bipartisan efforts to suppress our individual rights and take our money. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>BOOK 1, CHAPTER 19</strong>: <strong>Of Our Native Country, and Several Things That Relate to It</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>212. Citizens and natives.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. <em>The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children</em>; <strong>(emphasis added)</strong> and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, <em>if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country</em>. <strong>(emphasis added)</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>215. Children of citizens born in a foreign country.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed. By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); <em>the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot, of itself, furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him</em>; <strong>(emphasis added)</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I say “of itself,” for, civil or political laws may, for particular reasons, ordain otherwise. But I suppose that the father has not entirely quitted his country in order to settle elsewhere. If he has fixed his abode in a foreign country, he is become a member of another society, at least as a perpetual inhabitant; and his children will be members of it also.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thus by natural law, their definition of birthright citizenship is nonsensical and in direct contradiction to natural law.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center has-base-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PRINTED IN THE YEAR MDCCLXXXIX. David Ramsay</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>4th.</strong> None can claim citizenship as a birth-right, but such as have been born since the declaration of independence, for this obvious reason: no man can be born a citizen of a state or government, which did not exist at the time of his birth. Citizenship is the inheritance of the children of those who have taken a part in the late revolution: but this is confined exclusively to the children of those who were themselves citizens. Those who died before the revolution, could leave no political character to their children, but that of subjects, which they themselves possessed. If they had lived, no one could be certain whether they would have adhered to the king or to congress. Their children, therefore, may claim by inheritance the rights of <em>British subjects,</em> but not of <em>American citizens.</em></p>
</div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(1.039rem, 1.039rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.88), 1.6rem);">Citizenship bestowed at birth is confined to the children of those who were themselves citizens. The place of birth does not change this inheritance, and if the child is born to a non-citizen, it is only the child’s place of birth and not their country.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(1.039rem, 1.039rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.88), 1.6rem);">This understanding was reaffirmed again by the 14<sup>th</sup> Amendment: “All persons born…in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The requirement here, for a child to be born a citizen, is the place of birth plus the citizenship of the parents. A person who is not an American citizen can be deported because they are subject to a foreign jurisdiction. Conversely, and American citizen cannot be deported because they subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(1.039rem, 1.039rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.88), 1.6rem);">Countries that chose not to follow the natural law did so for obvious reasons. The British laws at the time of the American Revolution declared every child born to a British subject, and every child born in any place under British rule, to be British subjects. The most obvious point to be made here is that these people were considered to be owned by the British king. This contradictory policy claimed the maximum number of humans that could be claimed for Britain. <em>This was not an attempt to give a gift, but to capture a resource.</em> The British government tried to maximize their human resources and then tried to maximize what they could extract from them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(1.039rem, 1.039rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.88), 1.6rem);">The decades leading up the American Revolutionary War were filled with British attempts to tax and control their subject here in America and the colonists defending their natural rights. The continued abuses on the colonists by a government that view them as property drove the colonists to rebel and declare their independence from Britain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:clamp(1.039rem, 1.039rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.88), 1.6rem);">Our current uniparty government in America has taken on the same mindset. They continue to look for ways to pile on more national debt, steal through inflation, and assert their right to tax us as they see fit. They have declared us to be a mere resource of theirs to use and abuse.</p>



<p class="has-accent-1-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-ed5ce55b02db1bcfe3fcafff5bf3e86c wp-block-paragraph"><strong>On this 250<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Declaration of Independence let us throw off the chains of the two-party system mindset and declare ourselves to be Citizens and not merely subjects to the uniparty.</strong></p>

It isn&#8217;t just the amount of freedoms that we have that has been such a shocking experience, but what those freedoms have produced. <br><br>There have been many comments by foreign visitors, who have come for the World Cup, about the things the talking heads in their own country have told them that they have found to be untrue. They have found a welcoming, friendly environment where they have been heartily invited to taste all that our freedoms have to offer. Everything from new foods to new wilderness adventures to travel and accommodations have been on display. It has reflected well on all Americans, and we hope it causes Americans to stop and think and remember what it took to reduce government back to the point where we can experience our freedoms. <br><br>On this 250th birthday of the United States of America, we invite all Americans to recommit themselves to self-governance, limited government, and to securing individual, God-given rights. </td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here the <em>Patriot</em> bends beneath<br>His wounds all honest on the breast,<br>He feels the approaching hand of death,<br>And with groaning sinks to rest,<br>That eye is clos’d in endless night<br>Which late flash’d terror round,<br>The arm so terrible in fight<br>Now helpless lies upon the ground.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here the <em>Lover</em> seeking fame,<br>Meets a glorious death;<br>While his much lov’d Mistress’s name<br>Sounds upon his last breath.<br>Be calm, my tortur’d <em>Soul</em>, he cries,<br>Ye boisterous winds your raging cease,<br>Least my dreary, mournful sighs<br>Wound my fair <em>Amanda’s </em>peace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But let some gentle breathing Zephyr,<br>In the softest, tenderest whisper,<br>Convey the tidings to her ear;<br>The drop, if she does drop a tear<br>Oh! let some little Cherub save,<br>And borne on <em>pity</em>’s downy wing,<br>The pearly treasure bring,<br>And cast it on my grave.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most happy men! your troubles cease,<br>Your souls are fled to realms of peace;<br>Beyond a cruel <em>Monarch</em>’s power,<br>In some blest Elysian Bower,<br>Where bloody <em>Tyrants</em> ne’er can come;<br>Perhaps ye read your Country’s doom.<br>Oh! say, will never peace return?<br>Ah! are we ever doom’d to mourn?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Self whisp’ring reason tells me <em>no</em>,<br>Our sorrows soon will cease to flow;<br>Peace again will bless this shore,<br>Smiling <em>Freedom</em> will return,<br>And horrid <em>war</em> no more<br>Shall cause this land to mourn.<br>The Almighty’s self will interpose<br>This scene of blood to close.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On June 11, 1776, the Continental Congress selected five men to serve on a committee for drafting a Declaration of Independence in accordance with the resolves proposed by Richard Henry Lee. The Committee of Five, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, were chosen for this task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Committee of Five discussed the structure it should follow, then asked Thomas Jefferson, the Virginian, to prepare a draft of the declaration. Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s <strong><a href="https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/declara/ruffdrft.html">first draft</a> </strong>was then discussed and minor edits made by the committee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Committee of Five would present their proposed declaration to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In Congress, July 4, 1776</h3>



<p class="has-accent-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-00d24ef500cc163b5737f8aa08c88b4e wp-block-paragraph">The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature&#8217;s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.</p>



<p class="has-accent-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3b1615e92c04acba6809594fb6ee8e55 wp-block-paragraph">We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&#8211;That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, &#8211;That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.&#8211;Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.</p>

And while the Continental Congress did not immediately vote on Lee&#8217;s resolves, after some discussion it did move forward with appointing three committees (one for each piece of the resolves) to begin constructing the documents required by the resolves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many delegates to the Continental Congress wanted to correspond with the legislatures that sent them, to get instructions on how to proceed. The delegates were generally agreed that this was the only recourse left to the Colonies, but things needed to proceed in an orderly, legal fashion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The resolves by Lee were clear and clean as to independence and as to the next steps to take.</p>

<p class="has-base-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Father, Grandfather, Marine.</p>



<p class="has-base-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Former candidate for both U.S. Senate and Governor of New Hampshire; current School Board Member.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Candidate for U.S. Senator from New Hampshire</h4>
</div></div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Edmond Laplante&#8217;s Vision, in his own words</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I’ve been a mechanic for over 40 years. In that time, I’ve worked on just about everything you can imagine &#8211; cars, trucks, machinery, and systems of all kinds. One thing experience teaches you quickly is humility: no mechanic knows everything, and no machine should be altered just because someone thinks they have a better idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you’re dealing with a complex system, you don’t improvise. You respect its design. You consult the manual &#8211; not to reinvent it, but to understand its limits, its tolerances, and what it was built to do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s how I view the Constitution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Constitution is not a tool for politicians to “fix” society, nor a shortcut to impose new ideas. It is a set of restraints &#8211; written to limit power, define jurisdiction, and protect the people from those who govern. When government follows it faithfully, things tend to work. When it ignores it, no amount of experience or good intentions can prevent damage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Experience matters. But restraint matters more. And a government that respects its limits is far more trustworthy than one that promises to fix everything.&#8221;</p>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">So why is the uniparty so afraid of Ed?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ed&#8217;s campaign is about bringing transparency and accountability to our public functionaries. He wants the people to hold officials to their oath of office and to the Constitution that they have sworn to uphold. This push for a Constitution Revolution, to limit government and return freedom to the people, makes him a danger for the uniparty. The uniparty cannot allow a candidate who actually represents the rights of the people to succeed.</p>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What can you do to help?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Consider helping the Constitution Party of New Hampshire with their signature gathering efforts. Ed needs 3000 signatures to get on the ballot this fall. If Ed is able to get at least 4% of the vote this fall, the Constitution Party of New Hampshire will have ballot access in the future and will not need to waste time and money on gathering signatures. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-decoration:underline">If you live in New Hampshire or know someone in New Hampshire, please share this article with them. This is a HUGE threat to the establishment parties who want to keep control!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you don&#8217;t live in New Hampshire, you can still help get Ed on the ballot this fall:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Donate to the CP National Ballot Access fund <strong><a href="https://constitutionparty.nationbuilder.com/donate_cp?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a></strong> (put in the comments that you are donating for Ballot Access);</li>

</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The British troops were a regular fixture in the American Colonies leading up to the Revolution. During the period known as the French and Indian Wars, the colonies were asked to support the troops with supplies and housing when needed. Most colonists did not complain about the burden during the fighting, however, after the war ended, the troops remained in the colonies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping up troops during a time of peace became more of a bone of contention as time went on. In 1765 Parliament passed a Quartering Act requiring the Colonies to provide barracks and supplies for the troops kept in their midst. In 1774, Parliament passed a Quartering Act giving British authorities the right to secure housing and supplies for the troops without waiting for barracks. This allowed troops to be moved into a city quickly and made it more difficult for local authorities to keep troops to the outskirts of town.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Colonists felt first-hand the oppression of having troops kept up for enforcing government dictates on the people. There were even instances of violence brought on by these heavy-handed measures; the most famous of which was called the Boston Massacre where five were killed and three were injured.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The speech by Dr. Benjamin Rush on the fifth anniversary of the Boston Massacre gives us the feelings of the colonists during this time:</p>
