While I agree with your premise that as a Republic we are a nation of laws and the Constitution is there to regiment that rule of law, and I subscribe to John Adams’ adage that the Constitution was made for a moral and religious people” I disagree with the general assessment that the law was just bent or circumvented. I.e. changes to the election laws and procedures are the purview of State Legislators rather than the purview of Secretaries of State via executive action or changes to rules. Laws were broken but the current system is so infiltrated by evil doers in all 3 branches of government that we are left in a dire position if we want to get our Republic back. We should pay heed to Bonhoeffer’s warning “silent in the face of evil is evil itself”and never lose sight of our Founding Fathers’ legacy of courage, fortitude and faith, to fight for liberty when in the course of events we find ourselves under the rule of tyrants. And as to the military, it has a duty, to defend the Constitution and the Republic.

Most of what is written sounds wonderful and agreeable. However, Our very government has become corrupt to the point that We The People can not change it. It has been proven many times that no election in this nation is trust worthy, and therefore VOTING CAN NOT REPRESENT THE VOICE AND WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Now I am not a highly educated man by any means, ( I actually hail a G.E.D. from C.T.C. ) I gave 20 of my best years defending this Republic as a soldier in the U.S. Army, and saw first hand that appsolute power apsolutely corrupts many. I appreciate your elegant words of persuasion that the people must possess a deep understanding of our Constitution and what it stands for before we can expect so sort of change in our government ONLY by using existing twisted rules & laws written by enemies of this nation. I disagree strongly with the premiss that We the People can not expect our military to reestablish control over our current beligerent government by REMOVING IT. There is no other way to reestablish A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE without the power of our loyal military. In closing; I do not want war on our soil. I do not want US citizens once again, killing and destroying each other. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF WAR AGAIN, but my oath like millions of others, to defend from foriegn and domestic enemies, has not expired.
