The Duty To Vote & The Right To Live Free

[HARDCORE]

7-10-2022

At a point in time when great political and social upheavals seems to once again be the order of the day, it truly amazes me that the views of “All Americans” are not treated with the same respect that they are entitled to? For every man, woman and child within “This Truly Great Nation of Ours” is worthy of the same dignity, the same respect and yes, even the same honor, that our two-hundred and forty six years of existence has earned for them – “Each and Every One!”

And every drop of blood, sweat and tears that has been expended by Americans during our relatively brief tenure upon this planet has earned and secured that right for us all, but only if that patriot has acted with honor! And membership within our self- respecting society has (and must) be limited to those who, in one way or another, have earned and totally respected that right!

And let no man, group or even nation itself ever deem it to be their right, to merely walk in and to lay claim to those things that duty, national love and even honorable service alone, has earned for our citizenry! And being an American also entails the right (and the duty) to vote and even to discard those who believe that their hunger and demands for power and exaltation alone, entitle them to immunity from the laws, the duties and the responsibilities of “United States Citizenship!”

And so it is and so it must forever remain, if we are to eternally lay claim to our liberty, our honor, our dignity and “Even Our Other Blessed Freedoms!”

US Amendment XIV

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5.

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
