Constitution Party of Idaho • This program reintroduces Americans to an enduring symbol of their heritage Tree of Liberty
Constitution Party of Idaho Washington’s Cruisers Flag 1775
Constitution Party of Idaho • When we enter voting booths, one question is appropriate to ask: What is the basis of your vote’s decision?
Constitution Party of Idaho Liberty does not have the luxury of election by an ignorant population
Constitution Party of Idaho • One sure method to separate citizens from liberty is by fear mongering • The old “cattle chute” mentality
Constitution Party of Idaho • Fear mongering…used by every petty third world dictator known to man
Constitution Party of Idaho But a voting booth is not a cattle chute!
Constitution Party of Idaho • America’s two major parties routinely push voters with fear • Votes are no longer cast FOR principle
Constitution Party of Idaho • Votes are cast “against the other guy” • Party over principles
Constitution Party of Idaho • America has an unprincipled government • Because voters choose party over principle!
Constitution Party of Idaho • Every election, voters are herded into crowd pens • Prepared by the duopoly
Constitution Party of Idaho Crowd pen “choice”—leads to same slaughterhouse of individual liberty
Constitution Party of Idaho • Fellow citizens… • Fear is not part of America’s heritage! • Nor are you an animal to be herded
Constitution Party of Idaho • If political fear were part of your American heritage… • We would have no Bill of Rights !
Constitution Party of Idaho Stand on the courage of principle! Arm yourself with knowledge
Constitution Party of Idaho The Tree of Liberty is not a bonsai tree!
Constitution Party of Idaho The Tree of Liberty does not thrive in a box! Bunker Hill Battle Flag, 17 June 1775
Constitution Party of Idaho • Skilled demagogues may distort history for their own purposes • But do not be fooled
Constitution Party of Idaho • The U.S. political duopoly insist voters “only” have two choices… • A Democrat box • A Republican box
Constitution Party of Idaho • And the “logic” these two big-box parties use to justify voting for them? • Your vote is: “the lesser of two evils”
Constitution Party of Idaho • But, when voters choose the lesser of two evils— • Voters will always elect evil!
Constitution Party of Idaho The inescapable conclusion is … • Party over principles = unprincipled • Lesser of two evils = evil
Constitution Party of Idaho • Hypocritically, the big-box “choice” is claimed to represent liberty! • But, does it?
Constitution Party of Idaho Both major parties mistake Liberty! • Continental Flag, 17 June 1775 at Bunker Hill
Constitution Party of Idaho • Liberty does not thrive a partisan box! • Despite cradle-to-grave fear mongering!
Constitution Party of Idaho Liberty in a box = a bonsai tree
Constitution Party of Idaho ≠ But a bonsai tree does notequal a Tree of Liberty!
Constitution Party of Idaho • That bonsai tree is good for nothing • Beyond a hobby or a conversation piece
Constitution Party of Idaho ≠ It does not provide for the beasts of the field
Constitution Party of Idaho ≠ It cannot provide for the fowl of the air
Constitution Party of Idaho ≠ It will not supply shade in the heat of the day
Constitution Party of Idaho ≠ Nor can it make timber for homes
Constitution Party of Idaho Do not accept the box! • Dribbled attention every four years by partisans… • Will not yield liberty!
Constitution Party of Idaho True liberty… • Must grow in the fertile soil of God-given unalienable rights!
Constitution Party of Idaho • Otherwise, it can be no Tree of Liberty! • But something altogether different…
Constitution Party of Idaho Manipulation!
Constitution Party of Idaho As for the puppet’s liberty?… • That is not on the puppet master’s mind as he plays his partisan strings
Constitution Party of Idaho • And sadly, over time, those partisan strings… Will prove not to the liking of a free people
Constitution Party of Idaho • Support your local Constitution Party county chapter • Together, let us replant American liberty
