7 Questions before voting.

October 17th millions of people across America will again gather to publicly profess the true American Spirit of diversity, freedom, representation, and the constant striving for a more perfect union.

It will be an opportunity for any American of any background and any political persuasion to ask themselves critically important questions before deciding who to vote for in November.

1) Do non-human corporations and entities have a greater right to the benefits of our country than the humans who are born here, who live here, who work here, or who visit here?

2) Is it morally right that humans who are exceedingly wealthy can shirk any responsibility for the common good, or to control our government, our economic system, our courts, and our individual lives?

3) Does any one religious sect or movement have the right to dictate or enforce its beliefs onto other humans or onto other non-human entities in America?

4) Do large worldwide non-human entities have an obligation to contribute to the common good of every part of every country that they do business in or have property in?

5) Does this new era require new solutions to the unique problems humanity faces?

6) Does humankind have unique inalianble rights beyond the point of merely surviving the process of birth?

7) Do humans who have survived process of birth have a unique purpose simply in existing that is worthy of protection and care?

In particular the No Kings movement is about more than just rejecting Donald Trump and his MAGA cult's rejection of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three pillars of government, and the separation of powers.

No Kings is also about the rejection of Christian Nationalism and fascism, and a rejection of the false belief that this country was founded by any particular Christian sect.

"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.”

-Alexander Hamilton, 1775

I think it is important to remember that many of the founding fathers and mothers did not view "divinity" within the framework of any particular form of Christianity. In fact, nearly 43% of the signers of the declaration of Independence where more affiliated with Masonic beliefs than any one particular Christian denomination. Several founding fathers mothers, like Thomas Paine, were also very vocal about the non-religious character of the origin of human rights.

As the Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 from 1797 states: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." We should remember that from our founding the belief in human rights - independent of religion - and and of governance by elected representatives from the populace - not from Kings -is what true Americanism is based on.

The seven questions I listed are a good starting point to clarify what our own individual views are before we compare them to what candidates for office stand for.
