On this election day, we have the opportunity to change the current course of our nation and return to its intended form, a Republic. Benjamin Franklin stated that ‘we have a Republic if we can keep it.’ Ever since Progressivism has taken root throughout our government and unelected agencies, we have experienced soft despotism and an over-bearing, centralized government. In my lifetime, no other President has more disregarded our Constitution and Separation of Powers than Barack Obama. He follows in the footsteps of Saul Alinsky in dangerous ways. As Obama nears the end of his term in office, I shall present the evidence, both historical and present, so that we may fight off the hands of tyranny and tentacles of the federal leviathan.
