IMPROVING WHAT WORKS AND ELIMINATING WHAT DOESN'T - PRINCIPLES WHICH CHUCK HAS AND WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW
By Chuck Wilkerson

This is not about what one may consider moral and another immoral. It’s the lesson of history about human nature and ultimately about the many centuries of wisdom employed by the founding fathers of America in the drafting of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
To the point of this web site and my candidacy for the U.S. Congress in California’s 30th Congressional District, it’s about what serves as my guiding principles in all of my endeavors in the Congress.
Our Declaration of Independence declares that “[human beings] are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights –- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men [standing in an enlightened era for both men and women], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its power in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
The founders wrote a Constitution which spells out in writing the powers and form of that Government as well as the means by which that written constitution may be changed.
There are two sides to the “Great American Political Divide” (see article so titled in this web site), one believing in these two documents as they now stand in writing, the other believing something else.
That something else reflects the thinking of those who hold that Government should be the central planner and ultimate controller of human activity for whatever reason: society cannot work without a strong government, people in general are not capable of governing themselves properly, life is unfair and that condition should be corrected in order to have social justice, … or whatever intellectual idea occurs to them to support their innate desire to dominate or to be in control of other human beings.
Henry Waxman obviously believes in central planning and government control; his voting record in the U.S. Congress shows this plainly since he is on record as being one of the most liberal congressman ever to hold public office. This candidate is solidly on the side of the founding fathers.
