Tell It Tuesday - Welcome!

Tell It Tuesday Posts will be mostly informational. There’s a lot I want to include here, if I have the time to keep up with it. It’s really important to make it easy for people to learn about their own government. I find myself researching all the time when people bring up points about the constitution or Pledge of Allegiance, or other document. I figure if I’m going to do the leg work to agree or disagree with people I chat with, I might as well share it with everybody. Adding to knowledge is always a good thing.

 

Part of the reason I’m doing these posts is a teensy bit selfish. Every time I try to reason with right wing extremists, they go off on anti-woke rants and don’t even realize they are arguing against their own Constitution – the supreme law of the United States. Every president, vice president, member of congress, member of the military swears to uphold the constitution, and that oath is lifelong. Right now our democracy is taking a beating because extremist politicians are flouting it. And their voters are cheering them on.

 

Many people are not familiar with the documents of our government or have been misinformed about their content. So I decided to blog about the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, Canons of Judges, Military Oaths, Congressional Oaths of Office, Physicians oaths, HIPAA, the Pledge of Allegiance (the original version before it was politicized), American flag protocol, Confederate Declaration of Secession (to clarify the reason for it), and more.

 

I also want to get around to listing contact information for government officials to make it easy for We the People to make noise, either in person, over the phone, via email, text, or snail mail. I think many people would participate more if they had more info – especially if they don’t have to dig for it themselves.

 

Every time I research I discover organizations, books, info links, social media pages, documentaries, and more that might be helpful to you if you are trying to learn more about your government or to find your niche in the resistance. I will do my best to share all my sources and information here in my Tell It Tuesday posts.

 

So suck up all the info you can and share it far and wide on all the social media platforms you can.

 

Thanks for reading!

Share, share, everywhere!
