Presently money for elections can come from other countries, states, counties, or districts other than from where the candidate will serve allowing outside sources, those of wealth—even billionaires—to buy influence.This often diminishes the power of the citizens themselves to choose their own representatives.
Moreover, those holding “safe seats,” as for example Democrat Nancy Pelosi and Republican Kevin McCarthy, can either buildup gigantic arsenals to “nuke” a popular contender, or worse, handoff their unneeded donations to a like-minded candidate in another state to favorably impact elections often adverse to the will of its citizens. These outside influences have to stop.
More funding allows more signs and literature to be distributed, and more newspaper, radio and television ads to destroy your opponent or get your message out resulting in a higher probability of winning. The candidate with the most money and publicity usually wins and the rich, by their funding, select contenders long before the people vote therefore they dominate the result . In many cases more money originates from outside a voting district than within. If no candidate could receive money or influence from outside their district, it would stop much influence peddling.
LibertyUnderFire is the lead advocate for ending outside influences in our nation’s elections and thus offers the following new amendment to the Constitution. “All election funding, outside candidate’s personal wealth, (individuals or organizations), in all federal elections shall originate from eligible voters in the district served by the election and donated since the last election for the same office.”
Billionaires or organizations could still fund causes but not candidates. Propositions are a part of most elections and can be considered without attachment to a candidate. This would not stop, nor is it intended to stop, the funding or creation of ads for or against a candidate, or ballot issues, funded by perspective voters within the district.
Under this amendment the 1996 Bill Clinton campaign could not have received money from China to influence the election; nor from any individual not eligible to vote for president, nor could Clinton Foundation monies be used to influence elections as much of that money comes from international contributors. Some of us still remember the Bill Clinton Chinese Fundraising Scandal involving DNC finance chairman John Huang and Chinese nationalist Johnny Chung. The DNC was forced to return more than $2.8 million in illegal or improper donations from foreign nationals, largely from China to gain favor in the Clinton Administration.
Neither could the Koch brothers, Charles and David, who fund many Republican Party candidates on the right side of the political spectrum, and George Soros, or Tom Steyer, who fund Democratic Party candidates on the left, influence any federal contest to which they cannot personally vote. This amendment would limit the billionaire class to the “purchase” of only THEIR congressman or senator —not a large group of them.
Both Soros and Steyer bankrolled far left Andrew Gillum’s Florida campaign for governor hoping to flip the state from red to blue anticipating that the resulting electoral count increase could sway the nation for decades. Gillum “courted Soros’ organizations and spoke at a number of their gatherings. When they met at San Francisco [Steyers home town], he promised to back Gillum’s gubernatorial run.” Steyer “funneled about $800,000 into the Get Out the Vote initiative prior to the Gillum run” (Ingraham Angle, August 29, 2018). An activity that was targeted to get Gillum elected; hence would be denied Steyer with the new amendment, as with most of the $30 million he promised to spend on the midterms.
Congressmen from “safe” districts could not “handoff” their unneeded donations to a like minded candidate in another district. Nor could they holdover funding from previous victories to “nuke” a future opponent. Contributions are a form of voting normally intended for this candidate only and for this election only and they could only be accumulated since the last election for that office. Laws presently limit the amount of individual contributions but the “rich” find loopholes in donating as in the case of Gillum.
The “rich” have been involved in influencing elections at least since the 1896 “giants of the Industrial Revolution” buyout of William McKinley for president when they used their money to bury opponent William Jennings Bryan. This amendment would not have stopped that as all citizens elect the president—only a rigorous enforcement of present law governing individual contributions could do that.
Nor would it have stopped J.P. Morgan’s1915 purchase of the 25 leading newspapers in the United States establishing “Morgan editors” over each, presumably to influence public opinion favorable to his interests ( Oscar Callaway, Congressional Record, February 9, 1917, Vol. 54, pp. 2947-48.). Nor would it have prevented Morgan and David Rockefeller’s 1921creation of The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) organization to steer the country into “Wall Street” dominance and global government, which now is self propelling although its founders are deceased. The CFR has provided much of the leadership of both major political parties and major news outlets.
Nor will it today stop all of George Soros’ 11 major influence groups, some of which sponsor activities that border on treason. Funding Antifa, Kavanaugh “Hearing disruptors,” and those accosting Senate committee members may have to wait for other solutions. But the amendment will prevent most billionaire election buyouts. Expect enormous billionaire opposition.

In a recent column “Billionaires Battle to Get Your Vote” LibertyUnderFire documented leading funders for the right side of the political spectrum in the 2016 election as the Koch brothers, Charles and David. Those on the left side of the political spectrum were David Rockefeller (recently deceased) and George Soros. A new billionaire, Tom Steyer, has emerged outpacing both the right and the left in funding elections. But influence from the wealthy is nothing new.
The “rich” have been involved in directing public opinion for over a hundred years, first noted in our history textbooks, when Mark Hanna, who made his fortune in the iron business, paid off Congressman William McKinley’s personal indebtedness of $100,000, and elevated him onto the stage for president. He next “shook down” the giants of the Industrial Revolution, banking, oil, steal, railroads, and etc. who wanted markets and “spheres of influence” overseas.
Capitalizing on their fear that they would lose their influence over government and money to someone like William Jennings Bryan, who would actually represent the common people, Hanna raised an enormous slush fund, the largest in U.S. History, of 16 million to Democratic opponent William Jennings Bryan’s mere one million. This enabled the giants of the Industrial Revolution to unite to “buy” the presidency for William McKinley in 1896.
With Mckinley’s successful conquest of much of Spain’s colonial holdings (Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam) colonialism and world influence became the Republican Party’s foreign policy. When it became much less popular due to its needing to be defended by American troops, wall street influence went underground.
President Woodrow Wilson spoke of this hidden force in his book The New Freedom (1913), when he wrote: “Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and others later united the class of wealth into the Institute of International Affairs in 1919, then two years later changed the name to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) thereafter providing the leadership and foreign policy of both major political parties and globalism took root in each. Rockefeller nephew David, in 1973 spread the wall street influence over Japan, Western Europe and North America in an effort to unify those three regions in his Trilateral Commission. This was the foreign policy of both major political parties and much of the West and Japan until Donald Trump’s election in 2016.
Although David is recently deceased, his organization, the CFR, is the most influential political organization in the United States and will be for decades to come. Moreover, the leadership of The New York Times and Washington Post, like the government, is filled with its members ensuring a wide dissemination of their globalist messages; a message emulated by hundreds of other newspapers.
Enter CFR member George Soros, the leading funder of far-left causes and elections the past two decades, who is said to have spent $25 million on Hilary Clinton and other democratic candidates in 2016 and so far another $15 million in the present midterms. His specialty is not gradual influence toward the left and world government as has been the influence of the CFR, but hard-core socialism and globalism. No one has as many organizations as combat ready and as highly financed, as does George Soros. These include: ACORN, the Tides Foundation, Sojourners, The Quantum Fund, Media Matters, The Open Society Institute, Friends of the Earth, The Center for American Progress, The Apollo Alliance, The American Constitution Society and, MoveOn.org.
Enter San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer who “promised to spend at least $30 million to elect progressives [popular synonym for socialist] this campaign season” making him the “most important Democratic donor in the United States.” Steyer is openly urging the presidents removal through impeachment, even funding a video to that effect, and has, with Soros, bankrolled far left Andrew Gillum’s Florida campaign for governor hoping to flip the state from red to blue anticipating that the resulting electoral count increase could sway the nation for decades. Steyer “funneled about $800,000 into the Get Out the Vote initiative prior to the Gillum run” (Ingraham Angle, August 29, 2018).
The 100-plus year generational influence of the Rockefeller’s, John and David, and their organizations, principally the CFR, together with that of Soros money and organizations, and now, Steyer’s money, easily dwarf that of the Koch brothers, said to be funding most of the right side of the political spectrum. The billionaire club easily favors the Democratic Party and the far-left side of the political spectrum. What is far worse is that Soros and Steyer seem not to be promoting rank and file Democrats but instead radicals who want to upend our political system. It appears that the rich who initially controlled the Republican Party, then both major parties for over 100 years, now has much greater dominance over the Democratic Party. Should they succeed, we will become a socialist country.

Most do not fully understand the influence of the billionaire class on our elections—many times more than Russia or China put together. Before voting in the midterms it might be wise to assess what billionaire influences you support.
Liberal news outlets, which are all the major networks except Fox News, and some radio talk shows, want followers to know that the Koch brothers, Charles and David, unduly fund Republican Party candidates and causes on the right side of the political spectrum. Liberal newspapers include almost all big city newspapers and most major national news magazines.
Conservative news outlets often fail to mention the Koch brothers and speak only of George Soros as the big funder for most liberal outlets. Neither mentions the other, leaving the impression that only the other is buying elections. Candidates cross and crisscross America with alms bowls in hand begging the mega-rich to buy them.
First let us consider George Soros. His money, exceeding $32 billion, is targeted for influence and political power over this nation and the world—all directed to the far left side of the political spectrum and the globalization (code for world government) of the world. Prominent among his myriad of well-funded socialist organizations are: ACORN, the Tides Foundation, Sojourners, The Quantum Fund, and Media Matters. Some of these organizations operate in other countries, as for example, The Open Society Institute (spends 425million a year on socialist causes) and Friends of the Earth, designed to build support for an international network of organizations dedicated to the environment. The Center for American Progress schedules their “experts” for talk show events even developing talking points for them. The Apollo Alliance played a major role in the development of the Stimulus Bill in 2010. The American Constitution Society defends far-left interpretations of the Constitution. And, MoveOn.org organizes action alerts to followers via the Internet.
Likely no other one person, outside deceased David Rockefeller’s Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission (organizations remaining the most powerful special interest groups in the U.S.), each also promoting the left and world government, has as many organizations as combat ready and as highly financed, as does George Soros. He hosted fundraisers for President Obama and made numerous visits to the White House. There is reason to believe that Soros greatly influenced the Obama presidency on: The Stimulus Bill, Cap and Trade, opposition to the extension of the Bush tax cuts, and banking reform.
Even now he is believed to be financing the communist/socialist/anarchist Antifa, the hundred or so demonstrations against President Trump the past two years, and the present impeach Trump and Brett Kavanaugh demonstrations. Most of the “yellers” in the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings and those pounding and scratching the doors of the Supreme Court to force unlawful entree, just days ago, are believed to be funded by him. Still, the left side of the political spectrum fails to see this as threatening and dangerous to our republic.
Now for the Koch brothers, Charles and David, who built Koch Industries making it one of the largest privately held corporation in American. Their semi-annual summits attract the candidates, who discuss policy, and likeminded donors. “Freedom Partners is the central hub for the Koch-backed network that includes groups like the activist-recruiting Americans for Prosperity, the millennial-targeting Generation Opportunity and the Hispanic-wooing Libre Initiative. Taken together, the Koch-endorsed groups make up a political machine that raises and spends more money than any other republican outlet.
Democrats accuse Koch-backed groups of airing tens of millions of dollars in negative ads against incumbent Democratic lawmakers in the past and of helping the Republicans win a majority in the Senate. They also accuse them of funding the Tea Party movement—a charge without foundation. As far as we can document the Koch brothers have not funded demonstrations, street violence resulting in property damage, or confrontation with police and followers do not wear face coverings to hide their identities, like Antifa.
Obviously funding candidates and founding organizations pushing ideology is the game of some billionaires on both sides. The candidate with the most money and publicity usually wins and the rich, by their funding, select contenders long before the people vote. Some may argue, since both sides are doing the same thing that it is, in this respect, fair. But both parties project the image that only the other party invites billionaire influence.
This columnist, however, is unable to find the right side of the political spectrum, funding a single riot, or “yeller” dragged out of a committee hearing for disruptive behavior, or mob activity in the streets blocking traffic or damaging automobiles, or driving out of restaurants conservatives (even Senator Cruz) dining with their spouses, or cornering senators in elevators threatening them if they do not change their vote , or attempting to force entree into the Supreme Court. None!! So although billionaire candidates and organizations dominate both political parties there remains quit a difference.
So the question is, what billionaire buys your vote? One problem, however, is that since the media personnel haven’t themselves, as a group, voted less than 80% for a Democrat in the White House for the last 50 years, most Americans only hear about the Koch brothers as buying elections.

The globalist/establishment in all its forms (lodged in the media, both major political parties, the intelligence community, and Internet providers) now dominate most of the information from which we derive opinion. We are at risk of not having all the information necessary to insure responsible thought or action.
Because Trump took “their White House,” he is universally hated by all globalists whose intent is to squeeze him out by any means necessary. Seemingly all the major medias except Fox News and some radio talk shows, spew a continuous hate Trump line and vilify everyone defending or associated with him. No good is mentioned from their array of media outlets. No one in U.S. political history has been vilified more.
The intelligence community with Obama Administration holdovers, now referred to as the Deep State, targeted a duly elected president with what is now known as the “Russia Hoax.” Finding no evidence of Russia/Trump collusion after a two year Special Council Mueller probe; all in an effort to impeach their hated president as a traitor. This, while completely ignoring, even covering up, a real Russian/Clinton collusion story and the Russian Uranium One deal giving Russia 20% of America’s uranium profiting the Clintons by millions. This, with the bleach-bitted 35,000 Hillary Clinton emails (a copy discovered on the Anthony Weiner laptop) so attesting to this deal, many of which were classified documents sent over her unsecured server. Most of this information is absent in globalist controlled mediums.
Trump supporters, called “deplorables” by Hillary Clinton, do not see equal justice under the law and thus continue chanting “lock-her-up” at Trump rallies. Some Trump supporters have concluded that this never could happen with the existing information block on globalist controlled/influenced mediums. Hence some supporters are showing up at these rallies in Q t-shirts to bring attention to QAnon (hereafter cited as Q), a new defensive phenomenon in the present establishment war against Trump and patriots.
The Washington Post, August 1, 2018, fairly accurately described the movement, Q is ” an anonymous user claiming to be a government agent with top security clearance, waging war against the so-called deep state in service to the 45th president. “Q” feeds disciples, or “bakers,” scraps of intelligence, or “bread crumbs,” that they scramble to bake into an understanding of the “storm” — the community’s term, drawn from Trump’s cryptic reference last year to “the calm before the storm”— for the president’s final conquest over elites, globalists and deep-state saboteurs.” Q followers are those attempting to decode the vague messages found on the 4chan and 8chan message boards.
Q posts are designed to provide hints or thought suggestions that lead discussions. These may include lesser known published articles or news clips that come close to the “truth.” Followers come to their own conclusions. Q is gaining followers because it allows those who know there exists a real war between freedom and globalist advocates (the establishment) to have hope that we can possibly overcome the grip the globalists have on the U.S. and the world society. It effectively allows the masses inclusion in what is happening to them, thus a favorite Q phrase, “Where We Go One, We Go All.”
Why doesn’t Q openly say what is happening? He would be disclosing classified information and although Hillary Clinton, Jim Comey and John Brennan can do so without going to prison, no one else can. Why doesn’t Q identify himself? Because the establishment combination would destroy this outlet. Is Trump associated with Q? Yes, Q could not possibly reveal what Q reveals without a very close affiliation. A follower tweeted, “NO ONE cares who Q is. WE care about the TRUTH.” Another, “I like knowing what is going to happen before it does.”
The entire, loose movement has been called everything from “a deranged conspiracy cult” (The Washington Post) to cruel hoaxes, political extremism, and ridiculous claims. But these are from outlets that despise Trump. All globalist/establishment mediums are hostile to it.
Many on 4chan seemed to enjoy discussing the cryptic posts and the clues, causing Q to spread like wildfire. A YouTube video posted by “prayingmedic” on July 28, titled, “Something Big is About to Drop,” has 275,000 views.
Reddick, whose August Q following soared [page views 34,730,341 and visits 1,769,931] just banned any mention of Q. Twitter and other Internet providers are expected to follow. Followers, alerted a month ago to the President’s Emergency broadcast, infer that it is to keep open the president’s ability to inform Americans without the globalist news filter.
QAnon supporters refer to “The Storm” often, presumably the revelations disclosed in the intel documents ordered declassified by the Trump Administration, particularly the FISA documents still withheld in defiance by the Justice Department. “Red October,” another often cited phrase, is probably the expected voter “red wave” after the release of these documents and the accompanying civil disorder when arrests of formerly trusted and known participants follow. Q says, “PREPARE FOR ‘SKY IS FALLING’ WEEK.”
If 2018 ends without something big happening the Q following will decline, inversely it will increase exponentially. Whether it does or doesn’t it remains that many Americans do not believe that justice has been equally served and the documentation on the globalists seeking world government do not cease to exist just because they are not covered on globalist mediums.

By Harold Pease, Ph. D
The most vicious elections in our history were that of Jefferson in 1800, Lincoln in 1860, Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Ronald Reagan in 1980, but none of these were more contentious than that of Donald Trump in 2016 who was opposed by both political parties. “Never Trumpers” (mostly Republicans) did not resort to street riots but “Not my President” (mostly Democrats) did following his election in many cities throughout the land.
In 2016, Most Americans knew that something was wrong—really wrong. Independents, those refusing to align Democrat or Republican, were about 40%— stronger than either party. Most Americans felt lied to by both parties and the media. Most Republicans felt betrayed when they elected politicians to restore the Constitution and the economy and these same politicians appeared to join the other side as soon as they arrived in Washington D.C. Many had wondered the value of their vote outside “the lesser of two evils” philosophy.
Enter Donald Trump who mostly said what others were afraid to say, beginning with illegal immigration. Our Mexican friends have indeed invaded our country and taken, not just the jobs Americans did not want, but the ones they did want as well. They entered every field and their illegal children, being bilingual, are now favored in most other jobs. When politicians say they will build a fence to help preserve American jobs almost no one believed them. Trump was a builder, building magnificent structures, and was believed.
Simply put, the media, the establishment, and the political parties had lost their credibility. The more the establishment or media ganged-up on Trump the more his following grew. He even identified the establishment media as “fake news.” His bravado was somewhat refreshing from the Bush’s, Clinton’s, Boehner’s and McConnell’s “no real change” rhetoric.
The establishment opposition to Trump certified another factor in his favor. He was not one of them. He would not be controlled by them, as were his predecessors from both parties. Nor did any special interest group control him. This may have been the first time in 120 years that this was so. Only the Constitution should guide and restrain him—not the moneyed establishment.
Another factor in his favor, also not mentioned by the press, was that most Americans believed that the economy was on a crash course. No country can long endure when more money is spent than taken in. No candidate understood the economy better than Trump, having worked successfully with it for decades. He had the most incentive to get it back to a sound base more than any other candidate, or even you or I; we lose hundreds when it blows, he loses billions.
The Trump phenomenon was essentially a rebellion against the establishment by a population tired of being manipulated every four years into staying on the road to bankruptcy with the same failed internationalist foreign policy presented by establishment candidates of both parties.
The establishment media attempted to show candidate Donald Trump as, a joke—certainly not a serious candidate, not a real conservative, a flip-flopper on the issues, anti-women, anti-immigration, insulting to everyone, least likely to beat Hillary Clinton, only attractive to white males, and not in touch with reality and more.
What was very different from previous brutal elections where such rhetoric ended after the election, was that, for Trump, it never ended—indeed it amplified his first two years in the White House. Opponent sympathizers largely financed by CFR member George Sores, took to the streets before the inauguration with signs “Not my president” while Republican opponents joined the “Never Trump” movement.
The intelligence community with Obama Administration holdovers, now referred to as the Deep State, targeted a duly elected president with what is now known as the “Russia Hoax.” Finding no evidence of Russia/Trump collusion after a two year Special Council Mueller probe; all in an effort to impeach their hated president as a traitor. CFR member and Obama CIA Director, John Brennon had called Trump a traitor. This while completely ignoring, even covering up, a real Russian/Clinton collusion story and the Russian Uranium One deal giving Russia 20% of America’s uranium profiting the Clintons by millions. This, with the bleach-bitted 35,000 Hillary Clinton emails so attesting to this deal, many of which were classified documents sent over her unsecured server.
While the Deep State fabricated collusion was ongoing the establishment press worked at getting Trump Administration personnel to turn on their boss from within, through anonymous sources showing Trump unfit for office. They hoped to “prove” incompetence, and thus exercise the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. But the Trump staff held firm.
Excepting Lincoln, no president should fear an assassination attempt more than Trump and many still fear that end; he is so hated by the establishment. Why? Because For over a hundred years, since William McKinley they, with the help of the media that they came to largely own, have propelled into power politicians sympathetic to their globalist interests in both parties so that their interests got attention no matter which of their two political parties, Democrat or Republican, got elected. Control of foreign policy was never out of their hands. They want “their” White House back regardless of what they have to do to obtain it.

By Harold Pease, Ph. D
Most of the following words are not our own, although Liberty Under Fire has published extensively documenting the same the past decade. It is an address not covered by the establishment press. See why.
“Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.
The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself. The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake…. For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests they partner with, our campaign represents an existential threat….
This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not We The People reclaim control over our government. The political establishment that is trying everything to stop us, is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled this country dry….
It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. Just look at what this corrupt establishment has done to our cities like Detroit and Flint, Michigan – and rural towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and across our country. They have stripped these towns bare, and raided the wealth for themselves and taken away their jobs.
The Clinton Machine is at the center of this power structure. We’ve seen this firsthand in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers…..
Let’s be clear on one thing: the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They are a political special interest, no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity with an agenda. …. For them, it is a war – and for them, nothing is out of bounds. This is a struggle for the survival of our nation ….
The establishment and their media enablers wield control over this nation through means that are well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed. They will attack you, they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your career and reputation. And they will lie, lie and lie even more…..
Our great civilization, here in America and across the civilized world, has come upon a moment of reckoning….
But the central base of world political power is here in America, and it is our corrupt political establishment that is the greatest power behind the efforts at radical globalization and the disenfranchisement of working people. Their financial resources are unlimited. Their political resources are unlimited. Their media resources are unlimited. And, most importantly, the depths of their immorality is unlimited.
Our political establishment has no soul…. The only force strong enough to save this country is you. The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you, the American People. They control the Department of Justice…. [and] the Director of the FBI….
This is a conspiracy against you, the American people. This is our moment of reckoning as a society and as a civilization”
The above are the words of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, October 16, 2016—the only candidate willing to take on the century old establishment. If these words are unfamiliar with some readers it is because their sources for information are establishment controlled—thus they are controlled. They are likely to be on the wrong side in the struggle to retain our liberty. Trump continues:
“I didn’t need to do this. I built a great company, and I had a wonderful life. I could have enjoyed the benefits of years of successful business for myself and my family, instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies, deceptions and malicious attacks. I’m doing it because this country has given me so much, and I feel strongly it was my turn to give back.
Some people warned me this campaign would be a journey to hell. But they are wrong, it will be a journey to heaven because we will help so many people.
In my former life, I was an insider as much as anybody else – and I know what’s like to be an insider. Now I am being punished for leaving their special club and revealing to you their great scam. Because I used to be part of the club, I’m the only one who can fix it. I’m doing this for the people….
We will remove from our politics the special interests who have betrayed our workers, our borders, our freedoms, and our sovereign rights as a nation. We will end the politics of profit, we will end the rule of special interests, we will put a stop to the raiding of our country – and the disenfranchisement of our people.
Our Independence Day is at hand….” (View full address at
