Without a Virtuous People, Our Constitution is Null and Void. Liberty Can Only be Secured With Virtue.

Dear Texans,

Our Founding Fathers led with conviction and displayed virtuous traits of honesty, compassion, courage, generosity, integrity, justice, and self-control. For the Founders, virtue “meant selflessness and placing the common good before one’s own interests.” Civic virtue and moral responsibility are a cornerstone to securing our liberties; without individual and collective virtue, our liberties are no more.

Our Founding Fathers declared it was obvious, or “self-evident,” that our unalienable rights came from our Creator God, and that self-government, or a Constitutional Republic, could only be perpetuated by the self-governed. Each and everyone of us holds the keys to our liberties and when our liberties begin to dwindle, it is evidence of a direct correlation to our dwindling civic and moral virtues. A people without a reference for God (not just a belief in God), are a people without a stable moral compass and therefore a people with no source of blessing of liberty.

Likewise, a people who deny the blessings of liberty for Posterity, have also denied themselves those same blessings to liberty.

Liberty is only gained or achieved through a selfless undertaking that seeks to liberate not just one’s self but that of others as well. Only God can create Life, Provide Liberty, and Offer Happiness. These unalienable gifts are for all men, created equal, not born equal; but Created equal. When we reject God, we reject our unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and Happiness, which we claim comes from God alone.

The best government is exemplified by a leadership which teaches us to govern ourselves with moral virtues. A people who cannot govern themselves have lost virtue, and hence do not have liberty. In order for a people to self-govern, they must be able to self-regulate their behavior, ambitions, and passions.

To this end, the Founders fundamentally believed that the ability to govern ourselves rests with our individual and collective virtue (or moral character). A virtuous people value the individual liberties of others and respect boundaries of personhood.

How can a virtuous people claim that their fundamental and unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and Happiness come from their Creator God, and yet denounce their Creator’s demands for His virtuous people to live by His moral compass? How can a people claim their rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, offered to them by God, and secured for them by their Founders; deny their Posterity those same rights which the Constitution protects?

As John Adams stated, “Public virtue cannot exist in a Nation without private Virtue, and public Virtue is the only Foundation of Republics.” Our Founders understood that a vital need for virtue was necessary in order to establish and maintain a Constitutional Republic. The United States is a Constitutional Republic; meaning, that we are a nation of Laws rooted in moral virtues. Our moral virtues are also founded on the belief that our unalienable rights are endowed to us by our Creator God.

A Constitutional Republic is a representative government where the Citizens elect their representatives to govern on their behalf which is the foundation of a Republic. We are a Republic subject to and governed by a supreme set of laws, outlining the government’s powers, structure, and the rights of the citizens.

A constitutional Republic is a form of representative democracy which certainly differs from a pure democracy in that it does not rely solely on direct majority rule. The presence of a Constitution in a Republic is crucial as it provides a framework and limits the power of both the government and the majority to protect individual liberties. In America, we are all ruled by a set of Laws called the Constitution and not by the Government. Both the Government and the Governed answer to a set of established laws called the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and therefore we are all subject to expressed demands and laws set forth in the Constitution. We are all accountable to the Constitution.

However, in order for that amazing piece of document to survive, we must be a people of virtue. A virtuous people who are capable of upholding the laws and expressed demands of the Constitution. A people without virtue and a moral compass will lack the conviction and desire to uphold the founding principles of our Constitution.

The Revolutionary war or America’s war for independence was as much a battle against the corruption of 18th century Britain as it was against financial oppression. While the Founders and American colonists were very concerned with their civil liberty and economic freedom, demanding “no taxation without representation,” they were equally concerned with their religious liberty, particularly in preserving their rights of individual conscience and public morality.

When it came down to the vital need for virtue in order to establish and maintain a republic, the Founders were in complete agreement:

• George Washington said: “Virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government,” and “Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people.”

• Benjamin Franklin said: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.”

• James Madison stated: “To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical [imaginary] idea.”

• Thomas Jefferson wrote, “No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and … their minds are to be informed by education what is right and what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and to be deterred from those of vice … These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.”

• Samuel Adams said: “Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue.”

• Patrick Henry stated that: “A vitiated [impure] state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom.”

• John Adams stated: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Virtue ennobles individual character and uplifts society as a whole. Virtuous principles refrains from prejudice and discrimination, confirming that “all men are created equal.” Virtue encompasses characteristics of goodwill, patience, empathy, kindness, respect, humility, gratitude, courage, honor, industry, honesty, chastity and fidelity. These precepts serve as the cornerstones for both individual happiness and societal governance.

As a candidate for the office of the U.S. Senate, I bring with me a message of solidarity and hope. A message for the people of Texas to rise up as a virtuous people and restore our Constitution. It is our duty and responsibility as a people of virtue to uphold and comply with the express demands of our founding principles and Constitution to “Secure the blessings of Liberty to our Posterity.”

We the People are currently in an unlawful breach of our nation’s Constitution. This breach was initiated in Texas in the case of Roe vs. Wade which led to the Supreme Court ruling of 1973 declaring abortion a woman’s constitutional right to deny America’s Posterity their right to life anddeny their blessings to liberty. This constitutional breach lasted over 50 years due to the moral decay and decline in virtue in our nation.

The 1973 ruling of Roe vs. Wade was overturned in 2022 by the United States Supreme Court, a big thank you to God Almighty for setting up President Trump as President in 2016, which led to the appointment of three morally virtuous Supreme Court Justices. This gave our Supreme Court the moral virtue it needed to uphold the expressed wishes of our Constitution and begin the process of restoring the blessings of Liberty to America’s Posterity.

However, the work has just began and the great state of Texas will be the first state to propose and help ratify a 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution ascribing personhood to America’s Posterity and securing the blessings of Liberty and the right to Life for America’s posterity. The state of Texas is after all the 28th state to be annexed to these United States of America and it is only fitting that this initiative to propose a 28th Amendment to the Constitution be initiated in Texas.

This constitutional conflict in our nation’s started in Texas and the restoration needed to amend and resolve that very conflict will also begin in Texas. This is my calling as your next U.S. Senator, to work alongside the people and leadership of Texas and President Trump to restore our nation’s Constitution and reclaim our virtue in upholding the right to life; for all men are created equal by our Creator God.
