America Is One Nation Under God
The Founders of this great country, America, established a Constitutional Republic that recognizes the unalienable rights of all men and women to their lives, their liberty, and their property, with minimal interference. These rights were eventually extended to all men and women, regardless of race, color, religion, or national origin.
John Adams, the chief architect of the United States Constitution wrote: "The Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other".
Thus, ladies and gentlemen, it was God's words that most inspired America's Founders in their gallant quest for freedom over 200 years ago. In the twenty first century we must honor God's law to enjoy economic prosperity and to avoid unnecessary taxation, regulation, wars, and poverty.
Of course, as a descendant of Florida's Native Americans, I understand that America had already been "founded" before the United States Consitution was written. In fact, the Seminole Indians of Florida, of which I am a descendant, are the only "unconquered" Native American group in the United States. However, I also understand that the people that reside in the United States today must abide by the laws of the United States, because the United States won the overall war against the Native American population and the British. "To the victor goes the spoils of war."
Hence, as your Florida U. S. Senator, I will abide by the Constitution that was inspired by God. In that vein, I will work tirelessly to ensure that no unnecessary governmental impediments preclude the proper functioning of our most important institutions, so that my constituents can pursue the economic prosperity that they deserve. Such institutions include marriage, family, and the church.
