2nd Tuesday Constitution Group: Mission Statement

I just attended the second meeting of 2nd Tuesday's Constitution Group. The meetings are located at Mama Maria's in Salem, VA at 6:30pm.

Here follows their Mission Statement:

Our group of American patriots cdeclares full support of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The inherent Right of Man are forthrightly contained in these documents and are protected by them as the foundational laws of our nation and irrevocably granted by our Creator.

We espouse returning to a truly representative Constitutional Republic, one in which our elected representatives do, in fact, answer to those they represent. This can best be accomplished by educating the public on their duties as conscientious citizens of their county, state and nation.

We do not advocate any form of violence against the "long train of abuses and usurpations" by govenrment, nor do we promote any religious position or political party, as that would defeat our purpose.

We seek to reduce the size of government and intervention of government in our lives. Our efforts are primarily focused toward local and state issues. We demand the commonwealth resume its responsibility for those duties and rights ceded to the federal government maintaining the right of the citizenry to whom it is accountable. In turn, we expect local government to do likewise for those duties ceded to the state.
