I support the President of the United States of America. Currently, the person in that office is Obama. I generally believe in the smooth transition of power as provided for in our Constitution.
As I am not an employee of the federal government, I do not serve the President. As a citizen, he serves me. As I am not a federal employee, I do not need to obey the President, except where he is enforcing the law.
When the President is protecting us from foreign enemies, when he is prosecuting criminals, when he is doing what the Constitution tells him to do, I support him - except when he is signing legislation I believe to be harmful to the union or my rights, and when he vetoes legislation I support.
I believe in supporting candidates, including Presidential, who will have the guts to defend our nation, and the restraint to work for limited government. I will do that with my votes, my time, my money, and my efforts. I will use the ballot to remove a President from office - I condemn any effort to do it with violence or coercion or deception. We are a nation of laws.
