A Thought-Provoking Discussion of Career Bureaucrats in Government
Town Citizens, Please Reclaim your Rights by Voting Decisively on April 2nd!
Humans are prone to thinking themselves important if they seem to have power over the lives of others. Our government(s) mistakenly gave untold bureaucrats the sense of this power during Covid and they enjoyed it. History tells us that public health professionals among many other agencies have a fixation on procedural correctness at the expense of people's needs and freedoms. We were all witnesses of this through COVID-19 and the far overreach of the public health professionals and the dictators they reported to.
Our Founding Fathers believed that one of the most fundamental reasons people formed governments was to protect the private property of its citizens They included protections in the Constitution and much more specificity in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th amendments in the Bill of Rights. Safeguarding private property was a core principle in defining the role of our government. In an astonishing reversal of this tradition, governmental protections of private property have slowly been eroded – and replaced by regulations supporting governments’ new function of ensuring an “equality of outcomes”. This has been the case at the Federal and State levels of government where we the people are slowly losing our voices to the “elite” that know better. We definitely cannot accept this at our local government level.
This phenomenon is evident with the East Troy Town Board where the majority were pushing a recent ordinance that clearly states in its purpose, “that the days of doing whatever you please with YOUR property are long gone.” People subscribing to this philosophy truly believe, that OUR property is not ours to control and THEY need to control what we can do with it, because THEY know better!
If our constitutional republic, our freedom, our democracy, and even our personal health are to survive, we must accept this reality and treat this as a basic issue of individual freedom and good governance. Individuals with this controlling philosophy have no place in a leadership position in our constitutional republic, especially leading our small little town.
We The Town People have reviewed the four candidates running for the two open seats on the East Troy Town Board and believe Tyson Leonard and Joe Jahner represent the qualities we are looking for in our elected officials on our board. These qualities include independent critical thinking, belief in personal responsibility, solidly promoting a limited government philosophy and always striving to include the majority of the town citizens in the formulation of a decision.
The Town of East Troy citizens need to reclaim their rights by voting decisively on April 2nd!
