To keep our counrty free from the tyranny that prevails around us.

By Thomas A. "Tom" Benigno

Candidate for United States Representative; District 11; Republican Party

The need for change is evident. We are living in a new world. In that new world we should have reason not to forget those who wrote the Constitution, and the vision they had when they wrote it is to insure we can enjoy the freedoms from it.
My position is simple. Stay within the guidelines of what is fair, and to keep the word of God aways present in our thoughts. Let it always be a part of what we believe in, the flag, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights. When people acting in the name of Government violate ethics, they break trust with "WE THE PEOPLE" The natural result is " WE THE PEOPLE" to pull back power (honor and allegiance). The loss of power creates fear for those losing the power. Fearing the loss of power, people acting in the name of government often seek to regain or at least hold their power. Hence to legitimatize their quest for control,laws and force are often instituted. Unchecked power is the foundation of tyranny. This logic should be posted in every Government office in the United States so that our elected officals will remember who has the final word.
