From the time the Pilgrims arrived on American soil, faith in God played an important part in shaping our nation. Images of Moses adorn the Supreme Court in recognition of the Judeo-Christian origin of our laws. But it was Taxes, loss of Liberty and oppression from a mad king that led our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and start The American Revolution. Today, those who stand for these ideals no longer call themselves The Silent Majority because we are silent no more.
They must be having conniptions over at the NAACP and at the DNC. Who would have ever thought that a Black woman would run for Congress as a Republican. Not just any Black woman but a conservative Black woman. Not just one conservative Black woman but two! And one was a former Miss America who has a Harvard Law School education. And the other is the elected mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah. Holy smoke, what is happening to politics in this country today - the stereotypes (created by the liberal Democratic Party and the liberal news media) of the White, Racist, Republicans are about to disappear forever unless the liberal mainstream news media starts working overtime. God Bless America, if this doesn't begin to turn some heads, nothing will.
Ludmya "Mia" Bourdeau Love (born December 6, 1975) is an American politician. She is currently the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, and was the 2012 Republican Party nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Utah's 4th congressional district. She ran on a fiscally conservative platform of limited government, and placed a heavy emphasis on personal responsibility during her campaign. She lost to six-term incumbent Jim Matheson by 768 votes out of 245,277 votes cast. She was also a speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention.
Mia graduated from the University of Hartford with a degree in fine
arts. She found faith. Then she found Jason. And then she found herself
in Utah ready to give back. Mia served two terms on the city council of
Saratoga Springs, one of Utah’s fastest growing cities. As City
Councilwoman and eventually Mayor, Mia led the city through a period of
1700% population growth in a decade. Under her leadership, the city was
able to successfully navigate the drastic transition from agricultural
fields to a booming residential community. When the citizen growth
necessitated fire and police services, Mia fought to make sure the
city’s first ever residential tax implementation would only pay for
those essential services, and she structured it in such a way that the
tax decreased as a percentage of property value.
Mayor Love is best known for her conservative positions on limited
government, increased citizen liberties and limited restraints on
business. She believes the best thing she can do as mayor is stay out of
the way of business and out of the lives of citizens. She advocates a
return to the personal responsibility and reduced government dependency
engendered by her father.
Erika N. L. Harold (born February 20, 1980) is an attorney, a former Miss America, and a Republican candidate for the 13th Congressional District seat in the State of Illinois.
In 2007, she graduated Harvard University's Law School, where she won best brief in the Harvard Ames Moot Court semi-final and final rounds of competition. She has worked in Chicago, Illinois, as an associate attorney at Sidley Austin LLP and at Burke, Warren, MacKay & Serritella. She currently works for Meyer Capel law firm in Champaign, Illinois.
Harold is politically conservative, and was the Youth Director for the Republican primary campaign of Illinois gubernatorial candidate Patrick O'Malley. She later served as a delegate to the 2004 Republican National Convention. She gave a speech to the convention on August 31, 2004 to support George W. Bush's faith-based initiatives. She worked on the Bush campaign to reach out to minority voters.
Erika was born and raised in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and graduated
from Urbana High School. Having grown up surrounded by the Orange and
Blue, Erika decided to attend college at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, where she majored in Political Science. She graduated
from the U of I in 2001 as a Phi Beta Kappa inductee and a Chancellor’s
Scholar.
Erika then applied to and was accepted by several law schools,
including Harvard Law School. Lacking the funds, however, to pay for law
school, Erika decided to compete in the Miss America Organization to
attempt to earn the scholarship money necessary to pay for law school.
Erika went on to be crowned Miss Illinois 2002 and Miss America 2003,
earning thousands of dollars in scholarships along the way.

Our country was created as a Constitutional Republic, a nation of laws, held together by the fabric of the Constitution. The Constitution limits the powers of the government while the first ten amendments, called The Bill of Rights, guarantee the rights of We The People. Defending the Republic.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, 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 powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” —The Declaration of Independence—July 4th, 1776.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
