Politics.

When the founders of the PEOPLES CONSTITUTION COALITION OF OHIO (PCCOH) began formulating their plan to restore constitutional government, they decided that it was important to appeal to all Americans, not just a select group or party.  It was therefore necessary that the association remain non-partisan, non-denominational, and non-political.  Their focus was to remain fixed on the core problem and not get distracted, influenced, or corrupted by the separate issues, politicians, or candidates.  They have remained true to that rule.

They discovered that in the course of communicating with the general public, most people do not understand the core problems and are, themselves, distracted by the many issues and the false perception that elections, alone, will restore the integrity to our system of government.  It has become quite clear that, in order to appeal to the masses, the fight for freedom, justice, and honor are insufficient motivations.  That is why we created this SOVEREIGNTY PLATFORM, to help people understand how restoring the fundamental principles of good government that our society was founded upon will greatly help to resolve the many issues facing us, today.

And though we do not specifically endorse individual politicians or candidates, we do recognize certain characteristics and qualities that favor our objectives.  In order to help you identify those who are most favorable to restoring and maintaining the principles that make America great, we offer some helpful guidelines.  These guidelines are universal, that is they apply equally at every level of government.  We at PCCOH highly recommend that you use the following guidelines when deciding what politicians and candidates you will support, keeping mind that if none of the nominees satisfy these guidelines, then it becomes appropriate at that time to enter a “write in” candidate.  Choosing the lesser of two evils is NOT the solution!

Here are our guidelines, from A to Z.  Every public servant:

A)  Must have a high standard of honor and integrity, putting PRINCIPLE above PROFIT, POWER, or POLITICS!

B)  Must promise to comply with the Constitutions, even in difficult times or decisions!

C)  Must place individual liberty and justice as top priorities in his decision making!

D)  Must work to minimize the size and influence of government over the average citizen!

E)  Must work to favor the happiness and prosperity of the American people over foreign or corporate interests!

F)  Must endorse and promote solid, sound, and stable monetary policy and commerce for Americans!

G)  Must work diligently to eliminate corruption within or over government, and promote government accountability!

H)  Must support the ideals of American independence, sovereignty, and strength!

I)   Must acknowledge and support states’ rights and the separation of powers between state and federal government!

J)  Must not introduce, support, or enact any unconstitutional laws, orders, compacts, or treaties!

K)  Must operate with full transparency!

L)  Must operate within a balanced budget with sufficient reserves for potential emergencies!

M) Must promote high educational standards and individual readiness and preparedness!

N)  Must promote individual self-reliance, while protecting or assisting those in desperate situations!

O)  Must be conscientious of America’s natural resources and environment!

P)  Must work to minimize the taxing, licensing, and other encroaching burdens on the people!

Q)  Must protect our American, Christian, and Political heritage from undue foreign influence, infiltration, and invasion!

R)  Must maintain an open and responsive line of communications with constituents!

S)  Must believe in the American dream, for everyone, equally!

T)  Must place priority on his service to his constituents, while maintaining integrity to the Constitutions!

U)  Must be willing to stand up and fight for what is right, what is good, and what is proper for American society!

V)  Must obey the law at all times, and work diligently to eliminate unconstitutional laws and regulations!

W) Must work diligently to remove all governmental encroachments upon the individual property of the people!

X)  Must work diligently to oppose the planks of the Communist Manifesto!

Y)  Must recognize that America is a federalist, not nationalist, system of government!

Z)  Must recognize the individual character of state Citizenship and their associated rights, protections, and freedoms!

     Many people will recognize that these guidelines are somewhat generic in nature.  They are meant to be, because situations vary and many issues can fall within any one point of interest.  However, these guidelines can serve to help you identify if a particular politician or candidate supports ideals that favor America and its people, or if they are being influenced by the large corporations, foreign policy, global governance, private unions, political parties, or their own self interests.

Of course, there is no hope of ever expecting our governments to live up to such high standards if we, the people, fail to do the same.  We must work together, in spite of our differences, to build and maintain the society we want for ourselves and our children.  If we and our governments can do this, there is nothing else for which we can rightfully ask.  It then becomes solely up to us, as individuals, to create the life we want and deserve.
