When in the course of human events, it become necessary for the American people to raise their voice in opposition to violations of our shared nature, and to protect what the founding generation of our country so diligently sacrificed and fought for, it is required of us to come together in one accord to state the reasons for our grave concern for the candidacy of Donald Trump.

We still and will always hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, (unless you are Donald Trump who believes it is OK to denigrate disabled people), that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights (even though Trump sees no reason to seek forgiveness from his Creator), that among these are Life (although Planned Parenthood doesn’t believe in this right, and takes the lives of over 300,000 unborn human beings a year, and Trump still believes they do “good work”) Liberty (well, Trump believes in altering libel laws so he can sue the press and anyone else who stands against him) and the pursuit of Happiness (unless you are a student of Trump University and were scammed out of $30,000).–That to secure these rights, men are bound by their responsibility as patriots, and concern for posterity- That whenever a candidate for President has been shown to be a destructive force to these ends, it is the Right of the People to boldly speak up for truth, decency, virtue and our founding principles.

George Washington, in his farewell address said,

“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

Prudence, indeed, will show that past office holders of the Republican party hath shewn little regard for keeping their promises to those who put them into their high stations of office. But, prudence will also show, anger, hate and revenge are not a pathway to peace and prosperity or “to make America great again,” but a engine to subvert all that we hold dear as Americans. The candidacy of Donald Trump is a candidacy of a cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled man who will subvert the power of the people if given the reins of the highest office of government. His candidacy is one of repeated injuries, offenses, vulgarities, and lies. His presence has created an environment of discord, divisiveness and violence. He has not held true to the endearing principles of our founding, to conservative principles or even Republican principles. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

-He has repeatedly used profane cursing during his campaign (See here and here)

_________________________________

Let it be known that we, as those who wish to honor our founding principles, uphold conservative principles and in general wish for the betterment of our fellow citizens and the world, will not stand idly by when we see danger on the horizon of this great country. Samuel Adams, one of our most fiery patriots and founders said,

“If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”

We speak out today, in hope that we can as a united America, standing on principle, halt a vain and aspiring man such as Donald Trump from ascending to the Presidency. A candidate who’s character is thus unfit for the highest office of our country.

We choose to vote on principle, rather than on anger, revenge, celebrity status and poll numbers. John Quincy Adams said, “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” Principle, not anger, is the only thing that will steer our country to a brighter future.

We pledged that we will vote for a candidate that will uphold the principles of freedom, not open up libel laws to punish free speech. Who will fight for our religious freedoms, not acquiesce them to the changing patterns of the culture. Who has lived and defended family values, not trample upon them. Who will protect the right to life of every citizen including the unborn. Who will stand against, not praise and defend organizations such as Planned Parenthood who destroy life. Who will support Israel, not equate a country who is defending itself, with a Palestinian state who seeks to wipe Israel of the map. Who believes that the best government is a small government. Who has a robust knowledge of foreign policy, not someone who will recklessly weaken our image and standing in the world. Who will appoint Supreme Court Justices who would interpret the Constitution in its original meaning. Who is someone with strong moral character both publicly and privately, not someone who attacks and defames others. Who can persuasively articulate policy, not someone who’s only policy description is that he will make great deals, build a wall and make America Great Again. We will vote for a candidate who clings to the Constitution, not to poll numbers.

We, therefore, the citizens of the United States, with firm reliance on the unchanging principles of the Supreme Judge of the world, the firm trust in the constitution of the United States, and an unwavering devotion to truth and virtue, solemnly publish and declare that Donald Trump does not speak for the Republican party, for conservative principles, for the Constitution of the United States or for the Citizens of the United States of America. A man and a candidate is judged not just on the last year of running for office, but in the sum total of his life. Not only has the last year given us enough to have deep and grave concerns for a President Donald Trump, but his entire life has given us ample evidence to know this is a man who cannot be trusted with the power of the Presidency. Our founders pledged their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor to create the greatest country this Earth has ever known. We must honor their sacrifice by raising our voices and voting on principle to peacefully stop the candidacy of a man who is a danger to the very republic which they fought for.
